The week went by quickly. I didn't really see Tom as much as I had wanted to. Our schedules wouldn't allow it. It seems lately either I'm working and he's not, or he's working and I'm not.
But it's Friday and I'm supposed to see him after I get off. We both have this weekend off so we plan to spend it with each other.
"I think you and Tom are the cutest couple since Cory and Topanga" Cara says as we sit behind the counter at the record store. I laugh. "Did you just compare our relationship to a TV show?" I ask.
"It's true you guys are so in love and make everyone want exactly what you have its frustrating" he sighs.
"Oh shut up" I smile. "Oh look Tom" she smiles. I quickly turn around only to see and old man walk into the store. "Gotcha" she laughs. I roll my eyes and sit down. "So how are things with Mark?" I ask curiously.
Cara and Mark have been dating for like three weeks now and she never seems to stop talking about him. "Well, he's taking me to a small concert at that stupid bar I got drunk at that one time-remember?" She pauses so I can answer. "Yea I remember" I reply and she goes on.
"I'm really excited I just hope I don't get as drunk like last time" she laughs. "Me too" I reply.
"Hold on let me help this guy" I say to her. She shrugs and continues reading her magazine. "Hi" I smile at the old man. He smiles too and hands me three records.
"The Who? That's a good band" I smile ringing it up for him. "They're my favorite" he replies. "Okay that'll be 27.73" I say kindly. He swipes his credit card and types in his pin.
I hand him his bag and smile. "See you around" I say and go back to Cara. "I don't know how you can be so nice to people" she rolls her eyes. "Maybe you could try not being such a bitch" I reply. She laughs. "Sure like that will happen" she says.
"What time is it?" I ask getting up. "Almost eight-should we close up?"
I nod and we get up to close the store.
Twenty minutes later we lock the store up and walk out to our cars. "Have fun on your date text me later and tell me how it went" I smile opening the door to my car.
"I will bye" she smiles. I get in and start my car. I call Tom and tell him I'll be by around ten.
Once I get home I finish up some homework, take a shower, put on new clothes and by the time I'm done with it all its 9:45.
"Bye Momma I'm going to Toms" I say grabbing my keys. "Okay be safe I love you" she smiles. "Love you too. Bye" I shut the front door and lock it. I chose to wear my hoodie around my waist since it was pretty warm out.
When I get to Toms house the light to his living room is on. I get out and walk to his front door opening it with the key he gave me. "Tom?" I call looking around. "In the room" he yells. I walk into his room to see clothes thrown everywhere and most of his belongings on the floor. "What the hell?" I ask standing in the door way. "Hey babe" he smiles poking his head out of his closet. "What did you do?". "I was looking for this book I had on famous conspiracies but I can't seem to find it" he says getting out and stepping over the piles of clothes.
He kisses me and pulls away to sit on his bed. "So how do you plan to clean all this up?" I ask. "Because I have the most beautiful and caring girlfriend in the universe who's going to help clean it up with me" he says kissing my cheek repeatedly. "Yea right" I say.
"You know you'll end up helping me anyways-you can't stand messes" he said getting up. I frown because he's right. "Come on let's do this before it gets too late"
An hour and a half later all his things are put back neatly. "Tom I'm not your mother I'm tired of cleaning up your room for you" I sigh swiping at the strands of hair hanging in my face. He stopped helping half way through and I did most of it.
"I know but-you know how to clean and I don't" he pouts. I roll my eyes and redo my ponytail. "But thank you Lea" he smiles pulling me into the bed. "Whatever" I mutter. "I'm hungry, are you?" I ask sitting up. "I'm always hungry" he shrugs.
"Come on" I say pulling him off the bed. "Tom-you're too heavy get up" I grunt trying to pull him off. "Come on don't be weak Lea pull me!" He laughs. I use two hands to try to pull him off. "I can't" I laughing letting go of his hand.
"You know I'm not strong Tommy" I sigh. He gets up. "I know baby" he smiles down at me. "Nope-I know that smile Tom" I say backing up. "Oh come on I'm not always trying to have sex with you-that's only 88% of the time-this is the other 12%" he smirks.
"Sure" I reply pulling him out of the room.
"I kinda want peanut butter and jelly" I say hoping up on the kitchen counter. "Peanut butter and jelly it is" he answers opening the refrigerator.
I watch as he turns around to grab a butter knife out of the silverware drawer. Tom looks so good with out a shirt on. He has a sexy back-if that makes sense.
"I can feel you staring at me" I hear him say. "Maybe because I am" I say biting my bottom lip. "May I ask why?" He answers peering at me over his shoulder. "Because you're very sexy" I smile. "So are you Sweetie" he replies. "Can you hand me the bread?" He asks.
I grab the soft bread and toss it to him.
"Thank you" he replies. After he makes our dinner we sit on the kitchen floor and eat. I was sitting criss cross apple sauce. I'm kindergarten as fuck don't judge.
"Dammit" I say when a small blob of purple jelly falls onto my thigh. "Can you get me a napkin?" I ask him. He gets up and hands me a paper towel. "Thanks" I say and clean it up.
After that we remained on the kitchen floor talking. "So Mark and Cara went to a concert?" He asks. I nod. "I'm getting jealous of her-Mark was my boyfriend and then she just comes along and steals him from me" he frowns.
"Oh shut up" I laugh. "It's true Lea- I'm telling you, Tomark is real".
