From friends to, whatever we are

Part three

You didn't even bother knocking on the door to Toms house. The Hollands were used to you rushing in and out if the house. Your not even sure if you closed the door behind you but Nikki was in the kitchen and you could see on her face that she knew why you were there. You kept running up the stairs and towards Toms room.

You swung the door open and you saw Tom sitting on his bed with his head in his hands. His headed lifted up at the sound of the door closing and his eyes met yours. His cheeks were tear stained and his eyes bloodshot. You walked over calmly, not saying a word, just wrapping your arm around him. You felt his arms slowly creep their way up your back and hugging you tightly. None of you said anything, it was just quiet. But not the awkward kind, just quiet. You weren't sure if he was ready to talk about it yet so you just waited.

It could have been an hour, it could have been two, it could have been ten minutes. All you knew was that he needed the support and you were gonna be there for him. You were just holding him, as simple as that but through out the time you had felt him relax more and more on your shoulder. He had been crying, you could tell, because your t-shirt was soaked but you didn't care. He needed this.

"Alison, s-she, she" he stopped but you waited patiently, ready to hear what was bothering him.
"She broke up with me" he  stuttered out.
At those words you just hugged him tighter.
"Im so, so sorry"
"No its your fault" Tom lifts his head from your shoulder and you unwrap your arms from around him and meet his eyes.
"And its not yours either okay? So dont blame yourself" He just nodded as a response.

You jumped up from the bed and reached your hand out.
"Come on we cant be sitting here. We need to get you in a better mood"
Tom hesitantly took your hand and you pulled him up next to you.

"We are going to watch a movie" you said firmly as you dragged Tom with you out in to the living room.
"I cant decide what we're gonna do to make ME feel better?" He empathized the word "me" and you rolled your eyes.
"No but you can decide which movie we're watching" you threw yourself on the couch
"Oh wow really, thanks"
"Yeah but pick a good one you sarcastic ass"
"Yeah yeah"

An hour later you and Tom were set in the couch with popcorn and "the holiday" playing on the tv.
"You really had to choose the worst Christmas movie ever didn't you? And its not even Christmas!" You complained for maybe the fifth time.
"Oh come on just admit that you love it"
"Never gonna happen Tommy boy. Plus its so coupely, it makes my life feel sad."
"Yeah mine too. I need to get laid" he said eyes still clued to the screen and threw a popcorn in his mouth.
"Just let me know time and place Tommy, time and place" you padded his thigh twice and he gave you a shocked look.
"Im kidding okay" you laughed it off a little.
"Unless you weren't" Tom whispered, but loud enough for you to hear. His cheeks were a bright pink by now and his gaze was on his knees. You looked up at him and his eyes met yours.
You didn't notice how close you'd gotten until you felt the warmth of his thigh against yours. You were still gazing into his eyes and he into yours. They were like never ending tunnels of a beautiful hazel color. You felt your eyes shift down to his lips but they were soon glued on his eyes again. You took command and lifted your leg over him so you were now straddling him. His hands immediately went to your hips and pulled you down on him.
Your lips were so close now. You couldn't hold it any longer. You crashed your lips down on his and it took all of you not to let out a quiet moan.
You pulled away just as fast as it all started. It suddenly hit you what you were actually doing, you were kissing Tom, your best friend.
"Are you sure you wanna do this?" Your voice was a little shaky from the previous events.
Tom didn't answer you he just looked in your eyes and kissed you once more, not passionate, but just a quick kiss to your lips.
"So what are the rules? No feelings, just you, me and sex"
"Like friends with benefits?" Tom answer was hesitant.
"Yeah, basically" you nodded your head with your answer.
"Sounds good"
You could tell Tom was getting needy, you felt his length press up between your legs and it made you pool in your underwear.
"Someones ready" you teased him.
"You could only imagine" he said against your neck where his mouth immediately went after your short conversation.
"I.." you started talking but Tom interrupted you.
"No talking" his voice was raspy and filled with lust. He flipped you over without hesitation so that your back was pressed against the couch.
Once again you and Tom found yourself in a heated kiss that wouldn't end soon.
