As soon as I walked in, multiple eyes were glued to me. Most strangers, but it felt good having loads of eyes stare at me while I cascaded down the stairs.
"You look amazing!" Harrison complimented me as he walked over. He had on a navy suit with a navy tie and a white dress shirt.
"Thanks, you too!" I hugged him to the side.
"Tom is going to lose his shit over you," He joked and I mentally smirked.
"Good to know," I trailed off as we walked over to Zendaya and Jake.
"There she is! How ya doing?" Jake gave me a big, gentle bear hug.
"Ready to get tipsy off expensive cocktails!" I responded and he laughed.
"That's good, I guess," He sighed.
That's when I felt it. Someone staring. Not just anyone, but him.
Tom's eyes burned into my body and face, making my cheeks turn a dark crimson. He still has that effect on me. But, he didn't walk over.
Suddenly, a boy walked over. He looked to be my age, maybe a year or so older. He had a douchebag look to him, yet he made it seem so majestic.
"Bella Rae Wilson, huge fan," He smiled kindly, "I'm Jay, wanna dance?"
I hadn't even noticed the dance floor to the right corner of the room. It was more just fancy, elegant music playing while people fancy danced.
I was surprised by his confidence, but when realizing this may push Tom over the edge, I thought to myself
Fuck it, I've already been overdramatic enough, might as well mix up the pot.
"You know what? Why not?" I said with a sly grin. He took my arm in his and we walked off the dance floor, but not before Zendaya could hit my shoulder and give me a warning glare.
We got into a regular dancing position and swayed with a very friendly distance between us.
"So you and Tom are over, just like that?" He said gently.
"Yeah, apparently. Funny thing is, the picture was my cousin. Tom's just gullible as hell, ya know?" I backed Tom up- ish.
"Yeah, he seems like a great guy," He agreed.
"He's the best," I said with a small sigh. We kept dancing for awhile and I rejected his flirtatious small talk while continuing simple conversation.
I stopped paying attention to what Jay was saying when I saw Tom speed walking towards us.
"Can I talk to you for a sec?" He asked me in a murmur.
"Sure, be back soon," I said to Jay and followed Tom as he pulled my wrist into a separate hallway.
"Are you doing this on purpose?" He asked with a stern look and a clenched jaw.
"What?" I teased with a grin.
"You look fucking irresistible, and now you're dancing with another guy?! I know I'm an idiot and I finally faced the fact that Jake was your cousin, but Jesus do you move on quick," He rubbed his forehead.
"I-" As I began to talk, my thought changed, "I was doing it to make you jealous. I don't know why..honestly. I miss you so much."
I mumbled the last part to myself.
"Let's get out of here," He said suddenly.
"What? Tom we have to be here, we're the main stars. Especially you, Peter Parker," I teased and we both smiled a bit.
"Well I just wanted to...I don't know, clear things up," He was clearly having trouble wording it.
"You mean apologize to each other? As in just be the way we were?" I said with hope.
"I mean, if that's ok with you. I was a dick though," He said and rubbed his neck.
"Yeah, well I was overdramatic. We all mess up. But Tom, is we are going to have a relationship like that, then I need full trust on both side of it," I demanded.
"I know, me too. I was just out of it, and wasn't thinking," He agreed and my heart fluttered.
"Well, then I hope I can do this," I said before slowly leaning in and connecting our lips.
Every kiss with him felt like the first, and it felt like heaven. I smiled into the kiss and he must've felt it because he did the same.
"I could kiss you all day everyday," I mumbled into his mouth.
His hands felt up my side and he pushed me up against the wall.
"Tom, hey, Tom," I gently pushed him off me. "As much as I would love to continue where this is going, there's about 300 people out in that big room who wanna talk to you."
"Later then, yeah?" He smirked.
"Sure. All I know is I missed you a lot so if I'm like a little leech the rest of the evening don't come for me," I joked and he laughed as he held out his arm for me to grab.
We walked out and for the rest of the evening, my heart was full. Even though I had to awkwardly reject Jay.
