It's Time To Move On

Chapter Twelve

Sitting down on the carpet of my apartment I look out of the windows as I watch the sky turn from blue to orange showing the sunset.

"I made you some hot chocolate" Tom says setting the cup down in front of me.

I feel him sit down next to me and watch the sky as well.

"Thank you" I say not looking towards him.

From the corner of my eye I see his head turn towards me as he looks; looking at him as well he takes his eyes of me and looks back out of the window.

I do the same thing and reach for the cup letting the hotness warm up the inside of my cold palms.

"Why didn't you run out as soon as you knew it was him?" Tom asks me.

His question is loud over the silence and I know that I will have to answer.

"I didn't want him to follow me, I thought it would have been better to stay there" Taking a sip from the cup the sugary taste of the chocolate gives me an electric feeling on the inside.

"When I got your text...I...-"He lets out a small laugh and shakes his head.

"You what?"

"Forget it" He gets up from the floor and starts to walk off.

Quickly putting my cup down I run after him to see he has walked into the kitchen with his back against the wall.

"Why aren't you opening up to me?" I ask him.

Each time I want Tom to tell me how he feels, he ends up running off and I don't want that from him, I want him to tell me how he is feeling.

"Just forget I even said anything"

"Tom can't you see what you're doing to me? You're breaking me apart, you think that shutting your mouth is fine well let me tell you it is-"

He cuts me off by placing his lips upon mine shocking me. His lips still feel soft like they always used to be, placing my hand on his shoulders I kiss him back as we both find a rhythm.

He turns me around and soon enough I'm against the wall with his hands all over me, I move my hands from his shoulders into his soft smooth hair as I feel him pick me up.

Wrapping my legs around his waist I find myself being carried to somewhere, soon enough I feel my back meet a surface and I know that we're in the bedroom.

Tom pulls his lips away from me leaving me breathless as I try to calm my breathing down.

"Stay with me" I manage to whisper out to him.

He looks me in the eye and leans back down to kiss me and soon enough we're enjoying each other's company.
