Adore

Chapter 8

Thomas came up to me and smiled. A little bit of me is relieved, maybe my dad didn't scare him or talk to him about me at all.

"Hi Thomas." I smiled up at him.

"I'm glad I caught you, I was wondering if you would like to come with me into town." He said looking hopeful.

"I would love to go with you. What will we be doing in town?" I asked.

"Well, um... I haven't been here to long and I know a lot has changed so maybe walk around town and try to find something interesting." He said nervously.

I smiled at his shyness,"As long as you're there."

Instantly he smiles,"We can go whenever you're ready. I'm not in a hurry." He said.

"Now is good for me."

"Great. Let's get going before evening comes." Thomas took my hand leading me to a carriage to take us into town. While on our way I couldn't help but glance at him. A couple of times I caught him looking at me I think. Once the carriage stopped on one of the roads Thomas got out then held a hand out for me to get down.

"Which way should we walk?" He asked and I smiled.

"I think this way." I pointed to the right that led to the middle of town. He agreed and we both went hand in hand. For a few moments I forgot all about my fathers concerns with Thomas and I having a relationship. We haven't even really talked about this being a relationship. I think it is but I'm not sure.

"Hey look a sale on apples." Thomas said pointing at some apples in front of a store.

"Should we get some?" I asked him and he nodded so we both went over to the store and bought some apples. We walked out of the store and to a near by park where we sat at a bench with a bag of apples.

'What an odd picture this would be' I thought to myself,'Y/N Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and a bag of apples.'

Thomas and I both sat there in silence for awhile until I grabbed an apple.

"Hey Thomas." I said to get his attention.

"Yes Y/N?" He asked as I grew a smile on my face.

"You're the apple of my eye." I said holding the apple up to my eye. Thomas started laughing right after I said that and I joined him after handing him the apple.

"You are too perfect" he said just loud enough for me to hear him. I just acted like I didn't hear him and sat there content.

"Y/N I know that we haven't been on many as I would like to call them dates but I just have to ask you this." Thomas said making my heart skip a beat,"Will you be my girlfriend? We don't have to tell anyone yet and we can keep it a bit of a secret."

"Of course Thomas." I said smiling at him as the sun began to set before us. He smiled back at me and I couldn't help but get butterflies.

"I think I should get you home before it's too dark and your father gets worried." He said as I nodded in agreement and we walked back to the carriage.

My head was laying on his shoulder on the ride home. I was so tired I almost fell asleep on him. He helped me out of the carriage and walked me to the door.

"Thank you for coming with me Y/N. I really enjoyed it." He smiled.

"Thank you Thomas. I hope to see you soon." I said to him.

"Good night." Thomas said.

"Good night." I walked inside then watched Thomas leave. I began to walk to my room in the dark before I passed by my fathers home office where he was still working.

"Good night." I heard him say as I passed by. I walked back and said the same to him with a small smile.

I finally made my way to my room and put on some pajamas then getting in bed. I thought that today wouldn't be a good one but I guess I was wrong. It was perfect.
