Talking to Tom

7

Sometimes you just get a feeling in your stomach and you don't know why. I have that feeling.

"hmm I'm getting a little hungry up for a snack willow?"

Tom is working out in the garage while I'm cleaning up a little inside. I walk to the kitchen and grab willow a small treat and me some fruit snacks. I walk to the garage, Tom leaves the door open incase I need something. I stop in the doorway.

"Hey Tom would you be up to take willow for a walk, its nice outside not to much wind."

He lifts his weights, his arms are pretty big....

"sure, lemme finish this last set and then we can go."

I smile and go to the bedroom to change, while I'm putting on my shirt Tom barges into the bedroom.

"Ah-tom get out"

I pull my shirt down.

"oh I'm sorry, but it doesn't really matter anyway does it?"

He walks over to me and we kiss.

"well I guess it doesn't but it feels awkward."

He changes while I grab willows leash, he walks out of the bedroom looking handsome but somethings different?

"Ready to go ladies?"

Willow barks.

"hey, you wear glasses?"

He turns and looks at me.

"yes, I wear them often you just haven't seen me in them yet. Is it a turn off or something?"

I smile and kiss him on the cheek. He looks good.

"of course not, you're just cutier"

I wasn't lying. he smiles.

"well maybe we can skip the walk? Willow can wait"

He rubs the back of his head.

"you can wait until we get home,"

I roll my eyes. We walk down the street and look around at the trees and how beautiful they all are for fall. Which reminds me.

"hey Tom, do you decorate for halloween?"

He stares at me profusely. Uh-oh what did I do?

"oh my goodness I forgot! They night you twisted your ankle I was gonna unpack and decorate."

I smile. I set back his entire schedule...

"No worry I may have caused you to put them up late but its gonna look even better with me"

We keeping walking and we see a family across the way, mom and dad with 2 little kids a boy and girl. They are walking 2 dogs.

"see I wanna look like that in 4 years tops"

I point to them.

"I've always wanted life like that but acting kinda pushed it back."

I turn to Tom look him right in the eyes.

"I think you found your solution, your staring right at it..."

He laughs.

"I really hope claire I really do hope your it."

I hold his hand and lean into his shoulder. Was that a compliment or insult? I don't care.

20 minutes later

We finally get back and I go straight to the decorations. Tom helps my carry them inside from the garage, I decorate everyroom equally. I put the coolest and biggest things in the living room, because we will spend the most time there.

"So Tom, I think my ankles doing well I've gotten used to it!"

He walks out of the bedroom.

"hmm I suppose that means you want to leave me?"

I drop the fake pumkpin I'm holding, little dramatic but that's who I am.

"Tom you really think I would just leave you?! I just wanna go back and pack all my things and move in with you for good."

Maybe I should ask him if I can move in..I'm like inviting myself right now. He walks over to me and graps my waist.

"really? Move in! First decorating my house for my favorite season and now taking your stuff and redecorating my whole house!"

He kisses me on the head.

"well, I will let you have a say in what I replace but I'm definitely adding more things to the bedroom its so plain!"

We both lay down on the couch, I grab the fluffy blanket and pillow. Tom lifts his head and I put the pillow behind it, I sunggle into him and he wraps his arms around me. Willow comes and joins us, he turns the tv and it happens to be Hocus Pocus. I love that movie.

So now Claire's gonna move in? Holy cow they move fast....and halloween! It's like my favorite holiday! I can't wait to see what happens!
