Brainy is The New Sexy

I woke up the next morning curled in Tom's arms on the sofa.
"Good morning." A gentle-toned voice said to me and I gently sat up.
"Good morning." I looked at him and smiled, "Do you want any breakfast?"
"I'm taking you out, go get dressed." He said smirking.
"Ok, I'll quickly get ready." I stood up and let go of Tom's hand. As I walked into my room Erin caught my attention.
"Where's dad?" I asked her.
"He came home a few hours ago, found you and Tom on the sofa." She said smirking.
"Oh, so you're either lying or you didn't go to bed until at least 2 in the morning. I would rub that smug look off you face." I shot back.
She quickly went back into her bedroom. I opened my wardrobe to find that I needed to do some washing, fortunately I had a Harley Quinn t-shirt, acid washed jeans and a green hoodie. After slipping my clothes I brushed my hair and headed down the stairs.
"Tom, you ready?" I asked at the door.
"Yup, hop into the car." He said whilst unlocking it. Tom drove a blue mini with white leather seats.
It was great.
Tom wouldn't tell me where we were going, I felt giddy. I began to fiddle with my bracelet. Then my phone began to buzz.

"Right, here we are." Tom stated while parking.
In front of us was a small café, we got out the car and Tom took my hand.
"Oh, Hello Tom. We've got a table for two here." A waitress who seemed to know Tom, pointed out.
We sat down and ordered our food. As we waited I decided to strike up a conversation.
"Did you get any sleep last night?" I asked him.
"Yes, I just woke up before you." He said smiling sweetly. "Your dad came back a few hours after you fell asleep."
"Oh." I replied looking slightly worried. "Did he say anything?"
"No he just waved."
A wave of relief came over me, Dad had reacted better than expected. When Erin was dating someone he reacted a lot worse. Maybe it was because he trusted me more. He knew what sort of person I was, not being mean about my sister but she was a lot more unpredictable. She'd get into trouble a lot while I was pretty quiet.
After dinner we decided to go to our own homes, he dropped me off outside my house and just before I got out I leant in and kissed him, just a quick kiss. He smiled as I pulled away.

Omg thank you so much, Sherlock liked me back. We're dating now :D.

I looked down at this text in my living room and smiled. I knew it I thought to myself.
"Hey Sam." Dad said sitting across from me.
"Hey Dad."
"So that boy, what's his name?"
"Tom."
"He seems lovely. The way he held you when you fell asleep. I'm happy for you." He smiled.
"Thanks Dad." I said getting up and hugging him.
