Finally after crying all night long I wake up the next day at ten because my phone is ringing.
''Yeah?'' I ask with a tired voice.
''Oh love good morning, I'm sorry I didn't know you were still sleeping.'' His tone sounds light perking me up a bit.
I smile, ''It's fine, I had to wake up right now. What's up?''
''I want to take you out today....unless....are you okay? Do you feel okay?'' He asks.
I smile again, ''I'm okay, just a little tired.''
''Couldn't sleep?''
''Not one bit.''
''Nightmares?''
''Yeah.''
He sighs on the other end of the line, ''I don't know what to do, love. It makes me so furious to know that he did this to you and he's probably outside enjoying his pathetic life laughing about what he did to you...I wish he was dead.''
I don't say anything because I honestly don't know what to say right now. ''Tom.''
''I know love, I won't go looking for him or anything.'' He takes a calming breath, ''Anyways, how about I pick you up at noon?''
''Okay.'' I say. ''Clothes for getting dirty or a fancy romantic afternoon?''
''Anything will be okay.....I love you.''
''I love you too. Bye.'' I say praying that this date won't end with someone getting hurt.

I look at myself for the millionth time in the mirror before adding another coat of lipstick on my mouth for the trillionth time. I take a nervous breath and touch my hair. Gosh I'm so nervous.
I tap my foot on the ground because there's nothing to do that will make me less anxious.
When the doorbell rings my heart starts beating like crazy and my stomach squeezes.
''Bye Jaz!'' I yell to her.
She rushes downstairs and stops when she looks at me, ''Whoa. What. The. Fuck?''
''Jaz!'' I say too nervous to even care she just cussed. ''Is it a good what the fuck or a bad one?''
''A good one. Definitively.'' She smiles, ''If he doesn't do it with you then he's gay.''
''Oh my god Jazmine!!!'' I say. ''Stop being so creepy and gross!!! Ugh you're so....you're so....disgusting.''
''I love you too.'' She winks at me. ''Good luck.''
I roll my eyes annoyed and open the door. Oh god. He looks incredible. He smells incredible. Who knew that he could look so amazing in normal clothes?
He was about to say something but he just stares at me with wide eyes and mouth gaping open.
''Hey.'' I tell him. He doesn't answer so I step closer to him and look him in the eye. ''Come on I just put on lipstick, there's no difference.'' A little too much lipstick, I think.
''I know. I just can't believe I am going out with you.'' He says.
''What a cheesy line.'' I say wrapping my arms around his neck.
''I do not know what's wrong with me....you bring out he cheesy, romantic man in me.''
I laugh, ''Cheesy as hell Tom Hiddleston.''
''Let's go?'' He asks. I nod and he takes my hand sending goosebumps up my arm. My tiny hand fits perfectly in his.
We get inside his shiny car and drive away. I close my eyes and rest my head against the seat while I hum along to The Lumineers.
