After Tom's men had dispersed, Y/N was about to stand from the bar stool before realising Tom was already halfway over to her, a smirk plastered across his face. "You look lovely, I told you that you would." he said in a hushed voice, being mindful of Harrison stood by the sofa talking to Sam and Harry. He placed the mug down at the side of her, before glancing down at her legs. Though he was looking down, with the fact Tom towered over her, she could still see his eyes. His pupils dilated again, before he glanced back up to her face - a guarded expression on his face, before clearing his throat. "We'll eat while we're out, I need to talk to you anyway, so it would be nice to actually sit down and talk rather than do it while I'm dragging you around the city." He passed her a bottle of water, before grabbing one for himself and ushering her out of the door. She threw a quick goodbye to the men stood by the sofa, who looked startled at the fact she was leaving with Tom, and made her way towards the passenger side of the car - before Tom jumped in front of her, clicking the keys and opening the door for her.

"I'm a gentleman, darling. You should know this by now." He responded when she'd raised her eyebrow at him, her brain reeling back to him pushing open the door from the inside the first day they'd met, and making his way around to her side of the car - helping her out not long after. She smiled and lowered herself into the seat, whilst he shut her door and made his way round to the drivers side. It was a short drive back into the city centre, and Y/N was shocked at how quickly grass and large manors turned into towering blocks of apartments and bustling main roads.

They drove straight through the very centre of London, before making their way towards the other side - closer to Camden Town, as Tom parked up the car. Y/N knew to wait this time as once again, he made his way round to her side of the car and opened the door for her, extending a hand like he did last time. She smiled as he pulled her out of the car - standing chest to chest with her, glancing around - as if to protect her from the traffic speeding up and down the road, before offering his arm to her, which she took.

They walked in comfortable silence through the street, which for a Sunday morning, were extremely loud, coming to a stop by a small café. Tom gestured towards the door, allowing her to enter first, and they walked towards the counter together. "This has always been my favourite place for breakfast or lunch," he turned to her grinning "Nothing beats their pastries. I've never had anything that even comes close to them." She smiled at the reappearance of his softer side, before turning to the woman behind the counter and ordering a vanilla custard stuffed croissant and an iced coffee, scowling at Tom when he insisted he pay for both their orders.

Sitting down at a small table outside, Y/N turned to Tom, who almost seemed like he'd forgot she was there as he looked to the side, out across the busy street, almost as if he was taking in every person and car that passed by. For the third time today, she took in his appearance. He managed to look incredible in anything he wore, even as casually as he was dressed now. Everything suited him so well, and those stupid fucking combat boots made him look even more incredible. Could boots do that alone? Apparently so. "That's the third time I've caught you staring at me today, darling." Tom smirked from behind his cup, other hand resting over his danish.

"Sorry, you just look so different at all points of the day. Like, comparing yesterday in your office, this morning when I woke up and now...It's hard to believe you're...well, what you are." Y/N whispered, not wanting to draw any unwanted attention from passers-by if she said MOB BOSS out loud, as if a huge blinking sign would appear above their heads.

"If I looked the same all the time, I'd never surprise anyone darling, let alone seduce anyone." He quirked an eyebrow at her and she choked on her drink. He laughed before speaking up again. "Relax, love. I was kidding. Though I am greatly honoured to know you're constantly looking me up and down, it's quite the compliment." Y/N blushed into her cup, wondering if he'd noticed all the other times she'd glanced at him when he wasn't looking, which was a LOT.
