HIS FOCUS WAS SCATTERED, FILLED WITH NERVOUS ANTICIPATION.He was so excited, even giddy. The walk was silent, not awkward, but a comfortable silence as Tom and Calliope strolled down the street. After parking his rental car a few blocks down, the two decided to walk to find a place to eat dinner together.
After the conversation with Donna and Zendaya, Calliope couldn't help but view Tom in a new kind of light. His smile seemed brighter, his jokes were funnier, even his brown eyes seemed to shine brighter. Looking at Tom she felt giddy inside, she found herself walking closer and closer to him, not too close where it seemed weird.
"Follow me,"
"What?" she managed to slip out, snapping out of her gaze, looking up towards the actor. Tom let out a breathy chuckle before intertwining his fingers with the girl, pulling her along into an alley.
"Are you going to kill me?" she joked, walking behind as he continued to pull her through the alley. She looked down at their intertwined hands, smiling gently. Her skin tingled where he touched her hand and her heartbeat erratically pumped in her chest so hard that she thought it might fly out.
Tom simply ignored her by sending over a quick smile before they reached the end of the alley. They soon stopped walking, revealing a community garden. A beautiful one at that. Towards the entrance of the garden held a huge bush of roses, taking Calliope's breath away. The roses gave off a bright pink color, looking as beautiful as ever as petals fell towards the ground.
"It's a bush," she said observingly, looking at Tom in confusion.
"Thank you Miss Obvious," he joked. She laughed throwing her head back as Tom scoffed jokingly. He gently pulled on her hand, pulling her closer towards him as looked at the bush.
"I found this place a couple of days ago, and well your last name is Rose, so I thought I should bring you here," He explained, lightly brushing his fingers along the flowers. She nodded quietly, she followed along with him, trailing against the petals and stems.
"These are beautiful, Tom." she awed, walking away towards Tom slightly, still observing the beautiful flowers.
"So are you," Tom whispered, watching as her eyes trained themselves at the bush. She turned around glancing at him, confusion was written across her face. "Did you say something?" Tom cleared his throat before shaking his head aggressively from side to side.
"No, I didn't say anything," Tom rushed out a light twinge of red falling upon his cheeks.
"The sun is about to set, let me take a picture of you," he suggested trying to change the subject of the conversation. He briefly guided her to stand in front of the bush. She smiled and watched as he tried to pry his phone from outside his pocket. There were butterflies - no, lions - in her chest, but it felt good.
"Say cheese!"
Calliope Rose knew at that moment and finally admitted to herself what she knew all along, but was too afraid to admit it:
She liked him.
A lot.
And she wanted to be with him.
