Perfectly Imperfect

Chapter 4: Always on the go

Sarah's POV

I awake the next morning feeling amazing and completely exhausted, my body still feels a little tender. As I reach over to the other side of the bed I don't feel anyone laying there, looking over to see no Thomas there, as I sit up in the bed I see that my gold halter mini dress from last night is on the floor and next to my dress are my sliver stilettos, suddenly memories of everything that happened last night comes back to me, every moment of passion, every single second of our bodies becoming one, the feeling of ecstatic coming from both of us. I am snapped out of my thoughts and brought back to reality by the sound of the bathroom door opening, I turn my attention to see Thomas walking out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist, "I like that outfit on you." I pull the covers off me and step out of bed grabbing my new black crushed velvet kimono putting it on as I am making my way over to him. I wrap my arms around his waist, 'Good morning to you too Angle eyes." Thomas laughs as he sits down on the couch turning on the TV, "What are your plan today?" I ask curling up next to him, Thomas looks down at me putting a loose strain of my blonde hair behind my ear, "I have a meeting to go to, and I also have places to be." I can't help the pout that forms on my lips, "Am I at least coming with you today?" I feel Thomas let out a long breath, "No not this time." I lift my head off him and look into his eyes, "Booky talk to me. What is going on? You have been keeping me out of all the fun and action the last couple of weeks." Thomas kisses my lips with passion. "Don't think this changes the subject." I say pulling out of the kiss, I hear Thomas let out a dark growl, "LET IT GO!" Thomas shoots up from the couch making me fall onto the floor. "So is that all I am to you? A housewife that is expected to sit at home and wait for you to come home?" I stand back onto my feet, "You know that is not true, I care about you more than I have ever cared about someone before!" Thomas quickly turns around so his back is now facing me, I knew that he was trying to get himself back under control. I carefully make my way to him and place one of my hands on his shoulder, as soon as my hand touches his shoulder I can feel his whole body tense and contract, "I AM ONLY TRYING TO PROTECT YOU!" Thomas screams and storms into the bathroom slamming the door behind him. I let out a sigh and pick up my purse off the floor pulling out my cell phone and text my best friend Melissa Sinclair to see if she wants to hang out today and she thankfully agreed to it. After about an hour the bathroom door opened again and Thomas walks out again only this time his hair is slicked back, he is wearing a dark purple shirt, a light purple tie, a black suit jacket, a black belt, black dress pants, and black dress shoes, "I see you are ready to go to work." I say trying to lighten the mood, "Yeah." That is all Thomas says to me. Letting out another long sigh I pick up my dress and heels off the floor, suddenly the TV is turned off and I feel arms wrap around my waist. "I know that I shouldn't take my anger out on you, and I also know that I need to get better at controlling that anger." Thomas nuzzles his face into my neck, the feeling of his facial hair rubbing against my skin turns me on, "It's okay baby, I shouldn't have pushed you on the subject, but I am curious as to why you have me homebound?" I feel Thomas's hot breath on my neck as he lets out a dark chuckle. "I promise that I will tell you when the time is right, I don't want you stressing yourself out about nothing." Thomas pulls his face away from me and spins me around so I am now facing him, "Well I have good news." Thomas looks at me unsure of what is about to come out of my mouth, "You have my attention." I laugh a little at the tone in his voice, "Melissa is coming over to spend the day with me." Thomas rolls his eyes again, "Good luck with that." Thomas has always had mixed feelings about Melissa, and I will never figure out why. "She is my best friend, why don't you like her?" Thomas lets out another dark chuckle, "There isn't enough time in the world for me to explain that." I shrug my shoulder and decide that I can accept that answer, "Well, I need to get going." Thomas kisses my lips, and as we pull out of the kiss I tug on his dark purple shirt. "I need you to promise me something." I bat my eyes at him and give him a wicked evil smile, "Name it and it is yours baby." This is one of the reasons why I love Thomas, he is always making sure that I am taken care of before anything else. "I want to go with you on your next assignment." Thomas closes his eyes for a second then opens them back up, "Okay, next time I promise that you can come with me." I jump into his arms with excitement. Thomas laughs and kisses me one more time, "I will see you tonight." And with that Thomas walks down the spiral staircase and out of the room. I sigh happily twirling around the room, and once I stop twirling and head into the bathroom to get ready for my day with Melissa.
