Chapter 9 ~ Life With Tom

Tom was not the best at showing affection when stressed and tired. He came in from work, rubbing his temples, with black bags under his eyes.

You come up to him and hold him in your arms, kissing his forehead gently and rubbing his shoulders.

'How's work?' you ask letting go

'ugh, your uncle is always getting in the way' he mumbles 'things are hard at work, I can't talk about it'

You nod before leading him to the sitting room.

'Tommorow is Sunday' you whisper to Tom 'it's your day off, we can stay in or can go out for a walk'

'I just want to stay with you' he mummers into your shoulder

You take off his hat and stand him up to take his coat off.

Gently you sit him down again and started massage his shoulders gently.

A small groan came from Tom's lips as he relaxed.

You hug him close, kissing his cheek.

He sat resting his head on your shoulder for a some time. He had fallen asleep, exhausted from his work. You hoped he wouldn't be called out in the night for work.

'Hey' you say gently to Tom 'Its nearly dinner'.

He slowly gets up, yawning.

You had persuaded Tom to get a early night, pulling him into bed he snuggled up to you, holding you close

You woke to the sun streaming through the window. Tom was still asleep in your arms, his head tucked underneath yours. You laid there for a little while, feeling his slow breath on your neck and his arms around your waist. Slowly you fell asleep again.

Waking again you opened your eyes, looking strait into Tom's he had obviously been watching you sleep and his face brightened.

'Good morning' he mumbled, he reached up and stroked your hair lovingly.

'morning' you say, getting up, before you could he dragged you back into bed.

You raise your eyebrows at him as he hugs closely.

Gently he kisses your lips, drawing you closer to him, you shift closer to him as he flips you over, so you where looking up at him, he grins at you as he slowly takes your pj's off.

'Your so beautiful' Tom mummers and he grins down at you again.

You two got out of bed and walked down the stairs with him as he makes breakfast. Looking at the time it was more like lunch, he put down some bacon and eggs infront of you.

You eat with him and decide to go for a stroll, he tucked your arm in his and walked along the Riverside. You got to a wooded area and he pulls you down onto some grassy part overlooking the babbling stream.

'You are so beautiful (y/n)' he grinned 'I don't know what I would do without you'

You blush, stroking his hair, life wouldn't get as perfect as it was now.
