Tom dropped me off at work and I walked up the stairs to my shared office with some friends. Jessica was in already working with clients on a photo shoot, she's a photographer.
"Hey Tori! I got you a coffee," Jess points to my desk.
"Hmm, thank you so much!" I say as I put my bag down.
"Tori I would like you to meet Kat! She's going to be here for a while so I thought you two should meet!" Jess directs me to her. She's tall and skinny but curvy at the same time. She's got long, brunette hair and plump lips.
"Hi Tori! It's so good to meet you!" She embraces me tightly.
"You too! You're absolutely gorgeous by the way," I compliment her very sincerely. How the hell can someone be that pretty!
"I saw you and Tom as I was driving past the park, are you guys okay now?" Jess asks as she fixed the lights.
"Yes, everything is great! He actually just dropped me off so I'm very happy with him!" I can't keep the smile off of my face when I talk about him.
"Sorry to but in but who's Tom?!" Kat asks like a high schooler.
"Tom Holland!" Jess shouts.
"Jess!" I shout at her.
"Wait...are you serious!" Kat exclaims.
"Uh, yeah," I say.
"Oh my god! Total hotty!" Kat winks at me then gets a bottle of water out the fridge. God she picks water over coffee.
"She better not come after him Jess." I whisper in her ear.
"She won't," Jess reassures me.
I sit down at my desk and do work non-stop until 6:30pm when I get a text from Tom.

Hey, time to pick you up yet? Missing you xxx

I giggle at my phone.
"Did he send you a message?" Jess slides over from her desk to mine in her wheeled, desk chair.
"Yes, he's so cute!" I exclaim as I hug my phone. (Swipe->)

We suddenly hear a knock on the office double doors. Jess jumps up excitedly and runs to the door.
"You're Jessica right?" Tom asks.
"Yes I am! Tori's just finishing up her work," Jess says as she shakes his hand.
"Heyyy," Tom says.
"Hi," I reply, I turn around and grab his shirt collar and kiss him. He puts his arms around my waist.
"Let's go!" I say.
"Good plan," Tom laughs. He picks up my bag for me and we head out.
"How was work?" He asks as we hold each other's hands.
"It was very...productive!"
"Ohhh Okay!" Tom chuckles.
"Oh there was a model that Jess had in and she's like crazy pretty I was so intimidated by her," I say.
"Well, you shouldn't be intimidated by her, she should be intimidated by you!" Tom says.
"Well, Jess blurted out about us and who you were and she called you a, quote on quote "hotty"" I use quotation signs and roll my eyes.
"Well...she's not wrong," I slap Toms chest and he laughs.
"That's not the point! She's after ma man!" I say. Shit. I just called him...
"Ma man? I'm your man?" Tom asks.
"I guess you are Holland!"
"You're my girl," Tom says. There's a small pause.
"What food do you wanna get?" I ask.
"Tori what the hill is it with you and your horribly timed comments?!" Tom exclaims.
"Sorry! I've been thinking about food the whole time, I'm starving!" I whine.
"What do you want then?" Tom asks. 
"I want, Chinese's for main," I stop Tom at the bottom of my steps.
"And you, for desert." I pull Tom in for a hungry kiss then as I pull away, I bite his lip, tugging on his hair. I swiftly walk past him and up the stairs, leaving him stunned.
"Wow...Smart Can Be Sexy." Tom mutters.
