Diving Into Love, I Go - A Tom Daley Love Story

Chapter Nineteen

Erin's POV

It's unbelievable how fast the months fly by and before you know it the weather has changed from one spectrum to the other and you're warpped up in your woolest clothes walking on crisp snow.

"Taylor! Hurry up! We're meant to be shopping for Christmas, not waiting for it!" I hollered  from the bottom of the stairs. We're suppose to go shopping for Christmas an hour ago but Taylor decided that she didn't like what she was wearing so dhe went to change. She's been in her room ever since.

"Keep your hat on!" She appeared on top of the stairs, still wearing the clothes she was wearing an hour ago.

"Come on, I'd like to buy something before the shops clothes."

"It's only one in the afternoon!"

"Knowing you, you'll take forever in one shop" I replied for I have experience. When Taylor can't decide on something to buy, she'll take forever staring at the object comtempleting in her head.

"You all love me, really" She retorted as she hooked an arm around mine.

"Who ever gave you that idea?" Adam called out and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Shut it, Tomlinson" Taylor snapped, still angry at Adam from this morning's misunderstanding.

"Oohh..." Matt contributed in, before joining in with the laughter.

"Come on, hothead. Let's go" I put my calm face on and dragged her out of the house before she says something stupid.

"Bye guys!" I called out before shutting the front door. The boys just waved their hands in acknowledgement and carried on with their game.

"The nerve of that guy! E, how could he?" Taylor exclaimed in frustration at this morning's events.

"To be honest Tay, you two are not together. So, who ever Adam takes home is really none of your business." I said in a calm away.

This morning started out as normal until a girl came out of Adam's room and Taylor went on a freak out mode. To make it worse, Taylor and the girl were not in the best of terms because of an argument that broke out between them last year.

"You're so lucky, E" Taylor muttered

"About what?"

"Well, you and Tom. I wish Adam was like Tom. Atleast Tom would say if he likes me or not and string me along like Adam is doing. One minute Adam is nice to me and then the next he's not." Taylor said in a sad tone of voice.

"You two really need to stop playing games with each other" I replied sternly. Ever since they met each other they have been playing games.

"We're not playing games!"

"You are!"

"We're not!" Taylor tried to defend her innocence. But deep inside she must know that they are. Ever since last september they have been.

"Anyway, how are you and Tom? I bet with his flexibility, you two can get down to some serious positions" Taylor wiggled her eyebrows at me suggestively. Trust Taylor to turn the conversation to something so suggestive.

"Drop it, Tay." I could feel my cheeks burning making Taylor laugh hystercially.

"You two seem to be enjoying yourselves?" A familiar voice called out from behind us as we walked into the shopping centre.

Turning around, Tom was stood behind us in a black coat and white scarf tucked into his coat. He held a few bag in one gloved hand and the other stuffed in his pocket.

"Hey." I said before giving him a peck on the lips.

"Hey Tom. We we're just saying how you two can get into serious positions when getting-" Taylor started saying before she was cut off

"Tommy!" A small voice came down from below and we all looked down to see a little blond girl clinging to Tom's leg rather tightly.

"Up you come Brookey" Tom smiled at the little girl no older than four and picked her up gently with one hand. The little girl wrapped her arms around Tom and dropped her head on his shoulder.

"She's my little cousin, Brooke."  Tom chuckled when we both looked at him questioningly.

"We're just trying to make sure you haven't kidnapped her!" Taylor laughed

"She maybe a little monster but I haven't kidnapped her" Tom replied.

"I'm not a little monster!" the little girl pouted angrily.

"No you're not. I'm sorry, but you're a little cutie though" Tom winked at the little girl making her giggle as she tried to squirm down from Tom's arm.

"I've been shopping." Brooke declared as she craned her neck to talk to us.

"Oh really? What have you bought?" I smiled as I bend down to be at her level.

"Tommy helped me buy a really nice dress for mummy. He paid for it" She declared sweetly before clinging to Tom's leg again.

"What else did you buy Brookey?" Tom smiled down at her encouringly.

"Mummy gave me money and I bought my sister a teddy bear but I had some change and so Tommy let me buy some sweeties" She smiled shyly as she took out a packet of pick n mix from her coat.

"Don't tell mummy though" she giggled and put a finger against her lips and did a cute 'Shhh!"

"We wont" I couldn't help but smile at her cuteness. Tom just just ruffled her hair and held out his hand for her to hold.
