London Boy

Chapter 20

"Hey guys! Dinner will be ready in about 30 minutes" I say to the group from the kitchen. "So Tj- where's this boyfriend" josh says walking into the kitchen. "He's taking a shower. And please for the love of god stop calling me that!" He laughs. "Why I've always called you that" He says wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "And I've always hated it." I say pushing his arm off. "Do worry T, we already warned them not to go all crazy around Tom. He's a normal guy today." Jess says smacking Josh. "Oh I can't promise that from Julie. She started freaking out the second I told her he would be here" Kennedy says laughing. I pull the food out of the oven. Haley and Julie finish up setting the table. "Hey beautiful" I hear behind me. I turn to him and wrap my arms around him. "It smells amazing in here" He says kissing me. I turn to find everyone staring at us. Tom laughs. "Ok well Boys, Julie. This is Tom." Julie looks like she's going to pass out. "Ello mates." He walks around to greet them. "I'm Josh. It's really nice to meet you dude! Big fan!" "I'm Todd." He shakes his hand. "Haley's fiancé? Right?" He laughs. "Guilty." She smacks his arm. "It's nice to see you again Tom." She says hugging him, "same to you" He says back "and you must be Julie?" She's froze. Completely froze. "Babe... Babe..." Kennedy shakes her. And Tom just laughs. "Well it's nice meeting you Miss." she smiles.

After dinner all of us girls retreat to the kitchen and clean up while the boys get to know each other. "That went well"Kennedy says handing me the last dish for the washer. "It did. Are you okay?" I ask Julie. "Yeah yeah. I'm fine, just slowly coming down from that momentary freak out. I mean it's Tom freaking Holland! THE freaking SPIDER-MAN" she says loud. "Why Yes. Yes I am" He says laughing walking into the kitchen. "I'm sorry" she stutters. "No problem darling" He smiles, Todd walks in and wraps his arms around Haley "so you guys wanna go do something tonight? Bowling maybe? Or a movie?" "Bowling sounds fun. Unless you guys were wanting to-" Kennedy stops "Bowling sounds good to me- baby?" Tom says looking at me. "Yeah. Bowling sounds good."

We get to the bowling alley and I'm thankful it's not too busy. I don't want Tom worrying about anything tonight. "You sure you're okay?" I ask him. "I'm happy anywhere with you" He kisses my forehead. We get our shoes from the counter and the owner begs Tom for a autograph. He takes a few pictures and gives a few autographs "I'm sorry guys, I really appreciate this but I'm here visiting with my girlfriend. I'm sorry!" He says making his way out of the crowd around the front. "I'm sorry about that" He says when he comes back to the group wrapping his arms around my waist "You're good man!" Todd says slapping his shoulder. We play a few games and I'm surprised at how good Tom is. "How offten do you play back home?" Josh asks him "not to often, I actually haven't played in years." He laughs. Jess and I have been sitting back just watching the boys go head to head with Kennedy, she played for our high school bowling team so she's always winning. But tonight Toms got her running for her money.

After a few hours and 6 games, Tom won 4 outta 6 and Kennedy won the other 2. We end up back at the apartment. Kennedy went to Julie's and Jess went to Joshs so we have the place all to ourselves. "That was so much fun" he says sitting on my bed. He takes his shoes and his shirt off, throwing them in his bag. I pull my shoes off and walk into my closet. I grab my plaid pj bottoms and take my top off leaving my cami on. "I'm glad you had fun! The guys loved having someone else that's crazy competitive." He laughs. He stands and pulls me to him. "I love being able to just be in a casual place with you and hanging out with your friends." He pulls my hair out of its pony tail. "Hopefully you still think the same after meeting my family tomorrow" I say laughing. "Their all going to freak out. I'm debating if I should call to let my mom know or just surprise her." "I like surprises" He laughs. "I'm really glad your here. I missed you" I say softly. "I missed you too." He says pulling me closer. "I missed the way your pulse quickens when I kiss you here" He kisses behind my ear, "I missed the way your breathing shallows when I do this" He says running his hand across the lower part of my stomach. "I missed the way you always smell like fresh flowers and your hair always smells like vanilla." "I missed the way your eyes crinkle when you smile big. I missed your laugh, I missed the way your lips taste. I missed the way you make me feel just being around you." He kisses me full of passion and lust. We lay back on the bed and continue kissing for a while. "I don't ever wanna leave." He says softly in my ear. I curl up to him and lay my head on his bare chest. "Then stay" I say yawning. My eyes start getting heavy. "I wish I could." He sighs and kisses my head. A few minutes pass and I'm in and out of cautiousness listening to his breathing. "Goodnight Princess." He says softly. My eyes start getting heavier and I drift off into sleep, "I love you." He whispers softly,
