Another Day

•7•

I woke up in Thomas' arms. I yawned slightly and rubbed my eyes. I looked up at him and he was still asleep. He was snoring and mumbling random things in his sleep. I giggle and peck the corner of his mouth.

"That's a good way to wake up~" he grinned tiredly and opened his eyes. Thomas looked at me and I looked back. He pulled my face closer to his and grinned softly. I brushed my fingers through his hair and smiled.

"I really like your hair~" I bite my lip and laugh. I make his hair messy and he raises an eyebrow at me.

"Seems like it," he rolled his eyes and pecked my forehead. "Wanna go get food?" He slightly grinned.

I nod. "Yep, what should we get?" He thinks for a minute and I continue to stare.

"IHOP?" Thomas smiled brightly. I excitedly nod. "Alright I'm gonna change, you can borrow some of my clothes if you want."

I raise an eyebrow and get up. "You really think your clothes will fit me?" I softly laugh. He shrugged and smiled.

"I know you'll look cute whether or not they fit," he smiled brightly. I get up and grabbed one of his jumpers and stayed in my jeans. I put on the jumper and looked over at Thomas, who was already staring at me. "I told you you'd look cute." He pecked my lips then changed into a different pair of jeans and a blue jumper.

I smile fondly at him and hold my hand out for him to take. He immediately grabs my hand and leads me outside to his car. The morning sky was purple, the sun flooding through the array of trees along the familiar neighborhood.

Thomas opens the passenger door for me. "Thanks," I softly say and peck his cheek. He closes the door for me as I buckle up. Thomas walks over to the driver side and gets in, buckles, up, and does the regular procedures before driving. I plug my phone into the AUX chord and turn on calming jazz and look out the window as Thomas drives. I watch the houses and trees fall behind as we pass them.

Thomas casually glances towards me and I look back. His eyes were glossy with sleep and his hair was messy and unkempt; I don't think I've ever seen anything more beautiful. He held his hand out and I immediately interlocked our fingers. I let out a long sigh and rub my small thumb over his large hand.

Thomas pulled into the IHOP parking lot, which was nearly completely empty. I unbuckled and got out of the car, Thomas following close behind. We walked to the front of the restaurant and interlocked our hands. He opened the door and pulled me in. The smell of sweet pancakes and syrup welcomes us. A familiar tune played throughout the place, giving a soothing aura.

We sit at a booth in the corner and are immediately addressed by a friendly waitress. "How may I assist y'all?" She said, sporting a thick southern accent.

"Coffee and a triple stack of pancakes with butter," Thomas ordered.

"Chocolate milk and the same pancakes but with chocolate chips," I shyly said. The waitress nodded and left as quick as she appeared. Thomas looked over fondly at me, causing me to slight blush. "What?"

"You're just really cute," he tiredly mumbled and yawned. I covered my face and smile brightly against my hands. "Don't hide," Thomas whined and pouted. I slowly moved my fingers to look at him and shyly bit my lip. I moved my hands and smiled brightly at Thomas.

Fuck I'm so fucking lazy. I haven't updated in forever and I apologize. This is also v v short and I am sorry. I'll try to update more.
