After a month of not seeing each other, Tom and I had decided to go out for our usual mid-night supper date. Been 2 months since the news spread, the crowd had died out since. So, I do not need Taylor with me any more 'Thank God'. Tom is awfully quiet today I wonder why… It takes a moment until he finally opens his mouth.
"Darling…."
"Yes??" I stop walking and turn to face him. He follows suit and takes my hand in his…
"I missed you…"
"Don't be silly. It was only for a month… plus we did skype and all right… I miss you too dear. But I know work is important to you…"
He shakes his head…, "Work is important… but you're important too. I felt bad leaving you behind like that…"
"You're not going anywhere soon… right?"
His eyes changed, "I… I am flying off to Canada next week… to start filming Crimson Peak"
"Crimson Peak? I thought you said that it is a month more to go??"
"Yes, it was. I just got a call this evening… they needed to do some pre-shooting or something." he sighs.
"It's alright. How long will it be?"
"About 3-4 months if everything goes well…*shakes head*… Will you come with me darling?"
I squeeze his hand, "I can't… I need to work. But I will drop by… who knows…"
His lips finally curve into a smile… Although not as radiant as usual, at least he smiles…, "I will try to drop by as often as I can too….."
"I am sure you will…." I smile and he leans down to plant a kiss on my forehead..
"I love you Iris…"
Those words… It was the first time he's ever say it to me. I open my mouth to say something but he stops me.
"No, my darling… don't feel obliged to say it because I did. I wanted to tell you this for a long time now. I couldn't find the correct moment… the correct time."
I place a finger on his lips to stop him from getting further, "No… no Tom… this is not an obligation. And I've been waiting for you to say those words. I love you too Tom… and it drives me crazy…."
Tom laughs…, "It drives me crazy too darling…".. As a strong gush of cold wind hits London, I feel warm as Tom holds me closer as we kissed.
