A/N : happy (belated) birthday to Tom, i love you so much! here's a cute chapter to celebrate his birthday <3

-

(Y/N) looked at herself in the mirror, turning around as she watched the bottom half of her dress flow after her. She giggled in amusement, as she walked over to her bathroom to touch up on her face. It was half past six, and her date was supposed to arrive in less than fifteen minutes.

She wore a blue sleeveless dress that showed her bare back in a heart shape, along with a red belt threaded through the dress's loops on the waist. Slipping on a matching pair of red boots with heels underneath it, she got to work onto her makeup. Now, she did not want to over-do it. Applying some lipgloss on along with some eyeliner and mascara, (Y/N) faced herself in the mirror.

"Not bad." She hummed as she checked the time on her phone. 6.40pm. Her eyes widened, had time gone by that quickly? "Shit." She muttered, rushing to the desk that sat facing her bedroom window, opening a drawer underneath it. She pulled out a box, and smiled just at the sight of it. Putting it into her handbag, she left for the living room.

Carter's nose wiggled. The scent of perfume wafting through the air, the bunny bounced up from its previous position. Standing on its hind legs, it observed the room, its eyes landing on (Y/N). Hopping up to her, the owner giggled.

"Is the smell too strong?" She asked, petting the bunny who purred in delight. Letting go of the pet, (Y/N) walked into the kitchen and grabbed lots of greens and a chopped up carrot. Putting it into a bowl, she called Carter over to her.

"Here's your dinner. Don't make a mess while I'm gone, okay?" She asked, bending down to Carter's height and gave the bunny a kiss on its head. It seemed to understand, giving (Y/N) a lick on her nose before turning to the food offered to it.

(Y/N) checked the time again. 6.43pm. Tom was bound to be here any minute now. Her nerves that were calm earlier on started to make her hands shake. Her heart pounded, what if he does not show up? What if he was just pranking her? What if he only wanted to lead her on, and dump her afterwards?

(Y/N) shook her head, attempting to get rid of the toxic thoughts in her mind. Bad move. More of these thoughts came flowing in, causing tears to prick at her eyes. "No!" She whispered out, her hands balling up into fists. "Get a grip on yourself! Tom wouldn't be like him!" A voice in her head screamed out, as (Y/N)'s breath became heavier than normal.

The door bell rang, causing the munching bunny to dash towards it, its tail wiggling in hopes to be brought out for a walk. (Y/N)'s eyes snapped open, Tom was here. He was here, he turned up. Pinching herself, she took a deep breath in. It was now or never.

Pulling back the front door, (Y/N) came to face with Tom, who wore a classy navy blue tuxedo. He was fumbling with his fingers before she had opened the door, as he felt nervousness creeping up on him once again. But when he saw her, his breath hitched. It was like time froze.

A rosy pink blush rose to his cheeks, and Tom had a hard time trying to get a word out of his mouth. "I-I..Wow." He said, eyeing (Y/N) up and down. The dress fit her perfectly, hugging her curves yet giving a subtle but youthful look on her. She giggled in response, finally silencing the demons taunting in her head. For now.
