sundays were always sacred between tommy and i. sundays were pretty much the only day he and i both had off to spend together. nikki almost always insisted they come in on saturdays to work on material. and when he did get saturdays off, we usually ended up spending them out at some bar with the guys anyway. our number one rule was that we always had sunday cleared unless we absolutely had to be somewhere, and today was no exception.
i was currently sat on the couch with a warm cup of tea, flipping through some old issue of the rolling stone while a doors album played on the old record player across the room. tommy was somewhere in the house, probably playing around with his drum kit. these days didn't always consist of us spending every second together, just co-existing in the same space was enough for both of us to be happy. even if the other was at the other end of the house, just knowing they were there, doing whatever, created an environment where we felt safe enough let our walls down and be ourselves.
i wasn't really reading the magazine, just skimming over the words, letting them facilitate my thoughts. i was lost in yet another day dream when i was brought back into reality by the sound of someone descending the stairs. i looked up to see that tommy was already looking at me. he smiled lightly, making his way through the living room and too the kitchen, my eyes trailing his every move. he grabbed the tea kettle that remained on the stove and poured himself a glass, when he was done he made his way into the living room sitting down on the opposite end of the small love-seat. i threw the magazine to the side, giving him my full attention.
i expected him to speak, but he didn't. he just held my eyes in his own, a comforting look in them. i didn't resist letting myself get lost like i would've any other day, but i felt especially safe with him right now. i was okay with being so vulnerable, i was okay with exposing myself to him. it stayed this way for a minute or two, just the two of us sipping our tea and examining one another's features. if anyone else saw this happening they would most definitely think it was very strange, but we were too lost in our own thoughts to even take that into consideration.
it was strange to see tommy, who's typically either totally coked out or just hyper in general, to be so calm and serene. it wasn't often that people got to see this side of tommy, the one that was head over heels in love with a girl who he'd seen as nothing more than a hook-up at first, but i got to see his soft side almost daily and for that i was lucky.
after a few more minutes of us continuing this weirdly comfortable staring, he suddenly moved from his place across from me, setting his mug down on the coffee table before taking mine from me and placing it next to his. i gave him a confused look as he sat back down but he still didn't speak. after a moment, he opened his arms and made grabby hands towards me. i rolled my eyes playfully before obeying, moving into his arms resulting in me being nuzzled against his chest, my lower half between his legs. he grabbed a blanket and tossed it over out bodies before securing his arms around my shoulders.
at this point the vinyl that was previously playing had come to an end, the only sound filling my ears being the low thud of tommy's heartbeat from below me mixed with his shallow breaths. i tilted my head upwards in order to get a good view of his face. once his eyes met mine i could feel the butterflies erupt in my stomach and my heartbeat quicken. i wasn't sure how but he was always able to make me flustered no matter how long we had been together by doing the simplest things.
his hand slipped under my jaw, tilting my head up gently so he could lean down and place a kiss on the tip of my nose, followed by my lips. before he could pull away, i managed to get my hand up behind his neck to deepen this kiss slightly. once i allowed him to pull back he finally spoke.
"you're so predictable." he said, a small smile toying at his lips. i hummed in response, my head returning to its place on his chest, my eyes falling closed as i listened to his heartbeat once again. he pressed a kiss to my temple, "i love you." he whispered before kissing my temple once more.
"i love you too." i managed to mumble back, half asleep at this point. i could feel his gaze on me as i drifted further into sleep, but i didn't mind, i felt safer knowing he was watching over me.
