            when we got back to (the still overwhelming) house i went to walk through the front door when tom gripped my ring and pinky fingers. i softly hummed feeling exhausted from all the emotions i felt in the past twelve hours. tom just stared at me, if an erk mark could physically appear on my head it totally would. i opened my mouth to complain but his eye roll stopped me. "jesus i can't stare at you for a few seconds without you getting annoyed." he was now the one complaining. i just yanked my hand away from his hold and crossed my arms. "if you aren't going to say anything actually interesting i'm going to bed," a smart ass tone rang on my tongue. he just mocked my mouth movements like a child. "alright then good ight-" before i could reach for the handle again he slammed his hand on the door, preventing it from opening. "tomorrow morning, around nine a.m be ready. we're going to the states." his voice was serious and honestly i was shocked he just said this. i blinked my eyes a few times.

"what?" tom backed away confused and slightly weirded out by how big sabrina's eyes just got. "no?" she asked rather than stating her word. "what do you mean, no?" he squinted his eyes and titled his head. "you can't just demand me to go." she nodded. "yes i can! and why the hell do-" sabrina cut tom off, "ask me." her words took him by surprise. she motioned with her hand to hurry up, the words flew from his lips. "wanttogotothestateswithmetomorrowmorningatnineinthemorning?" his cheeks lit up, thank god she can't see my face clearly tom thought. "sure, now goodnight." she gave him a small yet sleepy smile and waltz into the house, leaving him speechless. "she just said yes," he breathed aloud happily. he thought about all the activities he wants to do with her, and all the...activities..he wishes he can do with her as he gracefully shut the door behind him as he entered his home. "shit is he in a good mood enough to tell him?" tom's head snapped to the right to see his twin brothers not so notably whispering. "good mood or not, what do you need to tell me twins." tom cocked his head making his way towards the two.

"um, so you know the good ol' chap zach?" harry finger gunned in his direction. tom glanced down at his fingers and glared back up at him. "yeah- tell him sam!" harry shoved sam into tom before scurrying away. "fuck you harry- so he sent brina flowers and she kinda really looked happy and it said something about a date so yeah bye!" sam rushed his words and ran off. tom's eye was twitching. fucking twitching with anger. "harrison!" he called for his best friend as he stormed his way into his office. just as his door was about to slam a hand stopped it. "you know something mate, having my room so close to your office is shitty." harrison groaned clearly just waking up. "zachory. that twat. i want him dead!" tom pushed the words threw clenched teeth. "heard about the flowers and date eh?" harrison chuckled, not aware of the hideous death glare tom was sending his way. tom just looked back at his laptops screen as he emailed the pilot of his private jet. tom saw from the corner of his eye that harrison was peeking at the screen. "we're going to the states? why?" his question was already answered when tom just shoved the white envelope towards harrison. "you're bringing her, why." harrison narrowed his eyes. tom stopped typing and thought about what to say. he was taking her just to take her. he wanted her around, needed her around. but he couldn't say that. "for her protection." he said simply typing away. "then she should stay here, wouldn't it be smart to not bring her to the location of colema-" tom cut him off by throwing a wad of paper at harrison's face. "real childish bro," harrison rolled his eyes and went to exit. "if you just wanted to sweep her off her feet you could easily do that here." harrison cooed as he left the office. tom's eyes went wide and his cheeks were bright cherry red. his fingers were now slamming onto his keyboard.

i laid in the large bed, staring at the bouquet in front of me. "how did he know?" i whispered to myself. he got my favorite flowers. larkspur. there was patches of daisies and roses, but the larkspur stood out. maybe zachory didn't know, maybe it was just a wild guess. i rolled over and was now staring out the window. i withheld the smile that was forming on my lips, do i want to be excited about going to the states with tom? a sigh left my mouth and i shut my eyes. the thoughts of zachory tonight were almost instantly replaced by thoughts of tom. and what tomorrow would bring me.
