dream come true

dream come true (pt. 2)

"i have some things in mind" he says as we walk down the hall.
i giggle
"what's so funny?"
"nothing, that just reminded me of buddy the elf"
tom looks confused so i ask, "have you never seen the movie, elf?"
"uhhhhh, no?"
"ohhh, honey, that's gonna change, after this dinner, your coming back to my hotel and we're watching it" i said
"oh so you just have the movie on you"
"actually, yeah, y/f brought it for the trip"
"oh my gosh" he says while chuckling

we get to his car and he holds the door open for me and i smile and gratitude. he starts to drive.
"where are we going again?" i ask
"it's a surprise" he says.
finally we get there.
"why are we at a beach?" i ask
"you'll seeeeee" he says "geez, patience is not your strong suit" he teases.
i gently slap him with my bag. so he nudges into me. i playfully gasp as if i'm offended and let out a subtle "ha." he quickly jerks to his side and starts to tickle me.
i'm screaming of laugher, happily saying "tom stop" between breaths. he picks me up and i'm flailing around, until he gently puts me down and i see a cute picnic. our silliness stopped and turned into sweetness.
"awwwww, you made a picnic" tears almost come to my eyes, it's so sweet and heartfelt. "i love it" i say. i walk over to him and hug him. while he holds me in his arms he says "i wanted to do it during the sunset but i couldn't get out of comic con in time, then i figured we could sta-"
"stargaze" i interrupt, "i love it, so much. it's so sweet. i can not believe you did this for some crazy fan girl" i say.
"you stood out, you weren't like the other girls, you made me laugh. twice. in the 30 seconds of us talking. you were bold. and beautiful. the moment i laid my eyes on you i thought 'wow she is lovely' and then you talked to me, so confident and funny and pretty, i knew i have to date this girl." i look up at him and smile, tears in my eyes.
"i think that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me" i say. he looks into my eyes and a tear  rolls down my cheek, he wipes it off. our eyes lock and his lips gently meet mine. our lips part when i just can't hold back my smile anymore.
he walks around to the blanket and says "i brought some sandwiches, salads, grapes, cheese and wine"
"wine?"
"yeah, do you not like it?"
"well considering it's against the lawww, i'm not too found of it" i laugh.
"what, i thought you were 18. are you not? cause if you're not i'm not so sure if we can continue this date." he says with a laugh to lighten up what he said.
"i'm 18, but this is the u.s. tom"
"ohh right, i'm so dumb" he says "forget the wine i also have apple juice, you like apple juice?"
"i love apple juice"
"perfect" he says with his beautiful accent. he pats on the part of the blanket next to him. i sit.

we talk for hours and hours. and if it's possible, after one day of meeting this man i feel like i've known him my whole life. after we eat we stare at the stars in awe, it gets chilly so i snuggle up close to him. he wraps his arms around me, and i feel safe, like i'm his and he's mine. i feel that spark. i think this could really lead to something.

we end up falling asleep next to each other and i wake up to one of y/f's a million phone calls. it's 2 in the morning.
"mmmm" i groan and reach for my phone. "tom, tom, wake up, we fell asleep." i say in a tired way.
"hi y/f"
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!? WERE YOU KIDNAPPED, RAPED? ARE YOU OK? WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER YOUR PHONE? YOU GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK! I CALLED THE POLICE Y/N, THE POLICE!"
"i'm so sorry y/f, i'm fine i was not kidnapped, murdered, or raped, i'm sorry i made you so scared. tom to me to the beach for a picnic, isn't that sweet, we just fell asleep stargazing."
"oh, thank god you're okay. i gotta call the cops now to tell them you're okay."
i laugh "oh my gosh, well have fun with that. love you, bye" i hangup "y/f though i was kidnapped and called the police. i should head back."
he laughs. "okay" he gets up, and we gather all the picnic supplies. it's a pretty silent drive back since we're so tired. when we get to the hotel he snaps and points like he's trying to remember something. "funny the dwarf" he says.
"funny the dwarf?" i say, "ohhhhhh oh my gosh, buddy the elf?"
"yeah!"
"well, it's really late and i'm tired, so why don't you come over tomorrow after your shift thingy and we'll watch it."
"sounds great" he says
"i had so much fun tonight, and i don't want to scare you but, i think this could really lead to something, don't you?"
"yeah i do. i don't think i've laughed so hard."
i smile "me neither" i say. i lean in for a kiss and he delivers. god he's a good kisser. i don't want to leave him, but i know i need to, so i get out of the car. i look back and he's making sure i safely get inside. i jokingly blow him kisses until i get to the door. he catches it and puts it on his lips. then does a kissy face to me and i smile and wave and watch him drive off.
