I just wanted to say quickly how much I really appreciate all the reads, comments & votes ya'll do for my story! I cannot believe this fic has gotten over 3k reads!! Thank you all so much ❤️

I was wriggling to get free but his grip on me tightened. He walked us towards the bed and pulled down the covers. He set me down on the edge of the bed and handed me my pyjamas, kissing the top of my head.

"Did you bring any spare clothes?" I asked him as I threw on my pjs and ran my towel through my hair again.

"I've got a bag in my car, I'll be back in a minute" He spoke, pulling his jeans up his legs and putting his shirt back on. I turned down the rest of the blankets and blew out the candles that were still burning.

Pulling the draw of my bedside table open, I grabbed my mini bluetooth speaker and powered it on. On my Spotify I picked a relaxing playlist and clicked start, adjusting the volume so it wasn't too loud.

Tom strode back into my room and closed the door behind him. He took off his silk shirt and replaced it with a soft cotton looking one. Turning back to my phone I checked my notifications quickly, replying to my sisters text.

When I turned back, Tom was redressed in some incredibly comfortable looking pjs. An idea popped into my head and I hesitantly brought it up, not sure if it might come across too soon.

"If you wanted to, you could maybe leave a few things here for when you stay over, if you wanted" I spoke my voice sounding shy. I avoided his gaze, instead I stared at a patch of carpet

"Would that be okay with you?" He questioned.

I looked up to him slowly to see a smile plastered on his face and I returned with one of my. Nodding my head, I swung my legs onto the mattress and buried my face into a pillow, pulling the blankets over my head.

I don't know why I felt so shy all of a sudden. It made me anxious that maybe he thought I might be trying to move this too quickly. I wasn't the type to just casually date. If I was in a relationship, it was because I wanted a future with that person, and it's no different with Tom.

Feeling the bed dip beside me, Tom tried to pull the covers from over my face. I could hear his muffled voice above me asking me what was wrong.

"Rhy what is it?" He asked me, squeezing my shoulder.

"It's silly" I replied hoping he heard me.

"Can you tell me?" He pressed again.

"Don't laugh okay" I spoke, popping my head out of the covers, shuffling so I was upright. I was twiddling my rings around my fingers like I did when I felt nervous or anxious.

"I just didn't want you to think I was moving too quickly" My voice sounded quiet and shy.

"Aaw love" He cooed at me, wrapping an arm around my shoulder pulling me into him.

"I don't think that, otherwise I wouldn't have asked if that was alright" He spoke soothingly.

"I guess, but I also don't want you to say yes because you felt like you had too" I uttered back at him quickly.

"Babe, shh it's okay. Why don't you bring a few things to leave at my place next time you come over, yeah?" He said rubbing his hand up and down my shoulder. I was trying to play it cool, but secretly inside I was screaming like an over excited kid
