A Sweet Mistake

Twenty-eight

Tommy ambled into the room, his suit blazer tossed over his shoulder, his hair was tousled and his tie had been undone, he looked quite tired. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw me in my underwear, I was actually blushing and I could feel his heated gaze on me, I took my time accessing him before I met his eyes and I saw a flicker of emotion but then he blinked it away and he turned away from me

"Hey, how was your day" I said trying to start with something normal

"It was okay" He said then glanced at momentarily as if trying to imprint my frame in his mind again but he wasn't fast enough because my eyes never left him...what is going on, Tommy

"How was your day?" He asked after he removed his dress shirt and I damn near convulsed seeing his muscled arms, I missed them around me I didn't want to seem like a wanton woman but I was so tempted to run into his arms and kiss him. Does that make me desperate? I didn't know

"It..it was um" I started but stopped so I could clear my throat before I resumed speaking again "it was dreamy and very exciting" I said and averted my eyes from him

He nodded and walked into the bathroom and shut the door, I heard him exhale loudly. Was I that annoying now??

I walked downstairs and got his food ready placing it on the dinning table, I wasn't really hungry so I just ate some crackers and milk sitting cross legged on one of dinning chairs, Tommy came downstairs, water dripping from his hair as he splattered some of it away, at some point it felt like he was in slow motion, my biscuit slipped from my fingers as I gawked at my fake boyfriend, I immediately got a hold of myself and recalled that Tommy Bryant was my fake boyfriend and I had to be reasonable. I looked away and continued eating my crackers

"Nana prepared Mac and cheese and I just microwaved it" I said with a husky voice

"Thank you" He told me. He settled on his chair and dug into his food

"Um..I realized that Logan doesn't work here anymore"

He glanced at me with a nod before returning his gaze to his food.

"Look It will be nice if he can come back?"

"He can't, He was supposed to keep you safe but he didn't do his job" he said sternly

"I know but he wouldn't have done anything, the kidnap was like it was inevitable"

"Well he would have tried!!!" He growled his eyes meeting mine this time, his eyes, held anger and emotion I hadn't seen before which made me flinch in my seat a little just a little, he noticed my discomfort and then he calmed down and looked away trying to mask his emotions

"I needed him to keep you safe that was what he was paid for not sit idly in a car while you were taken away by your captors, we almost lost you...I almost lost you and it was...." he trailed off leaving me speechless with varied emotions running through me

"Tommy I know whatever happened was depressing and heartbreaking but Logan needs this job he needs to finish school and he isn't the reason why I got kidnapped please" I begged

He stared at me for what seemed like more than a moment which made me nervous "Are you sure?"

I nodded with a smile
