18: Patience

Hello all! So... This is a shorter chapter. I wrote this when I was still working crazy holiday hours and I had mentioned writing shorter chapters. Chapter 19 is much longer since I wrote it after the holidays. My hours are more relaxed now, thank goodness. Anywho!

I hope you enjoy this shorter chapter. Sorry it is so short... But I can assure you the next one isn't.

-Tom's Point of View-

"So... where are we going?" Y/N asked. We had been on the road for a while. Harrison was driving us and Jacob sat in the passenger seat. Y/N looked at me with her big, curious eyes.

"Somewhere special! In fact, we're getting pretty close, so..." I reached into my jacket pocket and pulled out a blindfold, showing it to her.

She raised an eyebrow. "Um... Is this a kidnapping?"

I laughed. "No! No one asks that! I just want you to put this on. It'll make everything more special and more surprising."

"This is making me nervous."

"Don't be. Trust me."

Y/N smiled and nodded. "I trust you."

I chuckled, carefully pulling the blindfold over her head and adjusting it over her eyes. "Can you see anything?" I asked.

"Isn't that the purpose of it?" She giggled.

"I'll take that as a no! Perfect! Okay, we're about to pull up soon. You stay there and I'll come to get you at your door. I'll guide you."

"You have no idea how sweet that sounds. And it's really the reassurance I need right now since all I can rely on is my hearing."

"Okay, so hear this. Tonight is going to be really special. It starts now. We just parked. All you have to do is trust me and let me be your guide until I tell you that you can take the blindfold off." I explained slowly.

She nodded, laughing nervously. "Okay..."

"So you trust me?"

"I trust you."

"Great. I'll be right at your other side shortly." I told her. She took a deep breath and smiled, nodding. I chuckled at her nervousness and opened my door, stepping out and closing it behind me. I walked around the car and looked through the front, seeing Haz and Jacob giving me huge, cheesy grins and two, very aggressive, thumbs ups. I laughed, shaking my head at them and walking towards the back door. I looked in the window, seeing Y/N swaying around nervously. I smiled and opened her door, bending down to her level.

"Hey, love. You okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Just a little anxious in this blindfold." She spoke in a slightly shaky voice.

"Remember, I'm your guide." I reassured her.

She nodded. "You're my guide."

"Hold out your hand, I've got you."

Y/N did as told, hesitantly holding out a shaky hand. I grabbed it gently and guided her out of the car. She finally stood straight up, her hand squeezing mine. I smiled and stood closer to her, putting my other hand against her cheek and pulling her in slightly. I leaned down, planting a soft kiss on her lips.

When I pulled back, she smiled, biting her bottom lip. "Guide me whenever you'd like." She giggled.

I laughed. "I won't forget you said that! Okay, now I'm going to close the car door so let's step over here for a second..." I pulled her out of the way slightly and shut the door carefully.
