Unpredictable

Chapter 10: Liar

TOM POV

For the first time since we've been sharing a bed, I didn't wake up alone. Y/n usually wakes up earlier than me and is either downstairs or sometimes even on the beach already, before I even open my eyes.

But here she was. And I couldn't help but smile down at her as I propped myself up on an elbow and leaned over to brush the hair out of her face.

She looked so peaceful, innocent almost.

Then I recalled the events of last night...

I glanced at the clock. 10:30am.

Oh, she's going to be so mad, I chuckle to myself.

Y/n: "It's your fault," she suddenly spoke.

Tom: "How?" I ask when she finally opens her eyes.

Damn... It was the eyes.

She had those alluring eyes that bore right through you, even when the rest of her face was blank.

Y/n: "You know how," she grumbled before she rolled over and pulled the sheet over her head.

I joined her, both of us hiding from the sunlight streaming in through the windows as I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer to me.

Tom: "You're not the only one who knows how to help," I mumbled against her skin.

She rolled around in place so that she was facing me and our lips just found each other so naturally, like they had all night. I didn't even have to think about it.

Sometimes I didn't even realize it until we were already kissing. And I think it was the same for her.

I remember this specific time. It must have been 4am by then, both of us asleep, or so I thought.

But our lips softly found each other, our eyes closed.

I swear it's because we fell asleep like that, so we woke like that, then slipped under the same again.

It was strange, waking up next to someone, let alone acknowledging it... Embracing it even.

I usually woke up alone even before all of this, as I never spent the night nor did anyone else with me.

And if I did accidentally have someone next to me when the sun rose, I'd run.

But not this time.

All I wanted was to stay in this bubble.

But we can't always have what we want.

Alli: "Y/n!? Are you guys still in there?" She knocked.

Y/n: "Yes!" She called out, "What do-"

Alli: "Damn. Must have been some good-"

Y/n: "What. Do. You. Want." She cut her off.

Alli: "Geez, bitch. You said we could take pictures today! Plus, you're probably glowing," she snickered.

Y/n: "Ugh," she groaned as she flew the sheets off of us and went to the door, "I'm not picture ready," she said as soon as she opened it, gesturing to herself in just my tshirt and underwear.

Alli: "You see what I mean?" She looks to her side and I realize Harry was there too.

Harry: "That's how you look like when you wake up? Tom, my man!" He slightly shouted past the girls even though I still couldn't see him.

Alli: "Ignoring that," she said to Harry before turning back to y/n, "Please?"

Y/n: "What about sunset? It's too close to noon now, right, Harry? Too many harsh shadows," she smirked and crossed her arms, finding the perfect excuse.
