Criminal Activity

Chapter Four

 We pull into the driveway of my new house. I get out and grab my bags, thanked him for the ride, and headed towards my front door. Hearing the car shutoff and the door close I turn around.

"What are you doing?" I ask Tom when he locks his car and walks towards me.

"I'm eating dinner with you," he responds with a smirk. It's that darn smirk. Gets me every time and I think he knows it too.

With that we head into the house. I put my bags in my bedroom and head to the kitchen. I stand around the corner listening to Tom and Sabrina talk. I only get bits and pieces though.

"She's the smartest, most athletic, most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Normally I ignore all the girls at school who can't seem to stop drooling over me, but Veronica is just something else. I feel like her and I could stick through this together because we don't have to lie to each other. If I were to date any other girl, I would have to lie to her, but with Veronica, I am completely 100% honest with her. Plus, she's really shy and it's cute how her face gets red when I compliment her..." he says and continues on for another few minutes. My heart has melted. He really does cares about me.

After eaves dropping for a few more minutes, I walk into the kitchen for dinner. Sabrina had cooked spaghetti. Oh, how I love spaghetti. We all gobble down our food. I check the time and it's a few minutes before 8:00. I offer to wash the dishes, but Sabrina says she's got it. Then, I walked out to the living room where Tom was.

"Hey, how late are you staying?" I ask him.

"Do you think I can spend the night? I hate being in my house all by myself. My parents are out on a mission right now and won't be back for another week. I'd ask one of my guy friends, but they aren't allowed to have people spend the night on week days."

"I can ask Sabrina. Where will you sleep?"

"There's a blow up mattress underneath your bed in case you have friend's spend the night. I can sleep on that," he replied and with that I nodded and went back to the kitchen to talk to Sabrina.

"Hey, Tom's parents are out on a mission—"

"Yes, I know. He can sleep here. We have extra clothes in the closet in case he needs to change," she quickly interrupts me. She smiles then goes back to washing the dishes. I make my way back to the living room to talk to Tom.

"You already talked to her so I don't know why you didn't stop me when I went, but I need to get some homework done so I'll be in my room. You can shower, watch tv, I don't care. I'm going to bed at 10:30 though because I'm pretty exhausted," I say and with that I turn around and head for the stairs.

By 9:30, I finish my homework. I sit for about ten minutes debating on whether I want to go to bed early or just watch tv until 10:00. I decided to watch one of my favorite shows, Criminal Minds.

A few minutes pass by before my door opens and Tom walks in. I nod to him then turn my attention back towards the TV. He plops down on my bed next to me. I noticed he changed into a pair of red and black plaid pajama pants with a plain black t-shirt. He honestly looked kind of hot in his pj's.

We watch tv for another thirty minutes and I feel my eyes start to drift. I lay my head on his shoulder, but end up moving it to adjust to his arm going around my shoulders. I fall slowly, then all at once with my head on his chest.
