Red Sweater Tom

Shopping Day Gone Bad

You wake up the next morning laying cozily in your bed. You're even tucked in under your favorite blanket and warm comforter.

-

"What on earth..." You slowly sit up and look around. You don't know how the hell you got to your bedroom. Last thing you remember was falling asleep with your head on Tom's shoulder watching movie #2.

-

As if he could hear your thoughts, Tom shouts from the kitchen; "I didn't think you'd be comfy on the couch all night, so I carried you to your bed!"

-

"Since when do you carry me to my bed when I fall asleep on the couch?!" You shout back. It is normal for Tom to stay the night. Normally you both fall asleep by the end of the movie and then end up waking up in the middle of the night. And move to separate couches. But what wasn't normal was Tom carrying you all the way to your bed. Yes, he is quite the gentleman, but sleepy Tom is a lazy Tom. Normally he carried you to the longer couch perpendicular to your movie watching couch and he sleeps on the small movie watching couch. That's pretty much the extent of his carrying abilities at 3am.

-

You hear him walking towards your bedroom so you quickly try to wipe the Mascara from under your eyes and run your fingers through your hair. "Well I'm sorry, I guess next time I WON'T try to be a good best friend and I will just leave you on the small couch so you can look forward to back pain the next day," he says sarcastically as he's walking through the doorway. Much to your surprise, he is carrying two mugs in his hands, and you smell the sweet sent of coffee heading your way.

-

"And you made coffee?! Oh my gosh, you must be sick!" You tease him as you take the mug he is holding out to you. He sits down at the foot of your bed and takes a sip of his coffee.

-

"So guess what..." Tom's tone of voice sends worry running through your vains immediately.

-

"What is it?" You ask him, letting all your worry show.

-

"I uh...." ~god could he just spit it out already!~ after the conversation he had last night on the phone, you are really worried about what's going on. Tom isn't normally so secretive. "Well, don't be mad, but.... I called you in sick to work today. And I called me in sick to work today. I called us both in sick to work today!!!" He has the biggest smile on his face.

-

"Tom, why did you do that?!"

-

"Well I know your birthday is coming up and I know that you probably want a day off to get clothes and girly stuff like that." How sweet of him. Too bad he totally just scared the crap out of you!

-

"No Tom! Not that! Why'd you scare me like that? That wasn't nice!" You take a drink out of your mug. You try to keep an angry look on your face, but a smile is threatening to break through. How could you be mad at him after he did something so nice?

"That's really nice of you though... But why do I have to buy clothes for my birthday exactly? I didn't know I had plans."

-

"Y/N!! You have to do something for your birthday!" Tom always likes to go all out on your birthday for some reason.

-

"Okay, so what are we gonna do?" You ask curiously.

-

"Don't you worry about that. I will tell you what kind of clothes you need while we are shopping today," Tom says then walks out of the room. ~why does he always have to make everything a big surprise?~ you think to yourself, then get up to get ready for your shopping day.
