College Affairs

Chapter 10

Seven o'clock couldn't come round soon enough. Once you'd gotten home you'd texted Tom your address and the directions from the university, then you went and had a shower, cleaning up a bit before your date. You'd decide to wear a blue lacy dress, with heels. It was simple but elegant at the same time. You hoped Tom would like it, the blue reminded you of the colour of his eyes. You were putting on the finishing touches of make up when the doorbell rang, you looked t the watch above your bed, 7 o'clock. He was just on time. You smiled and descended the stairs as quickly as you could in heels. You opened the door and standing with a bunch if handpicked flowers in his hand, was Tom, wearing a pale grey suit and a massive grin on his face.
"Good evening Y/N, you look stunning." He greets, you smile, "You don't look too bad yourself." Seeing Tom in trousers and shirt was just about normal to you now, seeing him in a full on suit was something else altogether.
"Are those for me?" You ask, regaining yourself and gesturing at the flowers. "Yes," he says handing them yo you somewhat shyly, "I didn't know what kind of flowers you liked so I picked random ones from an unsuspecting garden."
"Aw," you say surprised at this little token, "That was sweet of you." Red colours his cheekbones as he blushes a little, it's so cute!
He clears his throat and offers you his arm,"Shall we?"
You nod and lock the door before looping your arm through his.
The date was magical. First he took you to an Italian restaurant that served the best food you'd ever tasted, then he took you for a stroll in the park before taking you to an underground disco. You laughed as he taught you some moves and he gave you a quick kiss when you got them right. Finally though, the dancing had taken its toll and he was driving you home. As he drove, you leaned your head on his shoulder, "Thank you for a great night tonight." You sigh. A smile creeps across his face, "I'm glad you enjoyed it." He replies as he pulls into your driveway.
"Tom?" you say, tiredness creeping into your voice.
"Yes?"
"Stay with me tonight? Please?" You ask. He kills the engine and looks at you, "If you really want me too." He says.
