You sighed, pushing the earring through your earlobe, sighing in satisfaction at your own appearance. You’d put a lot of effort into your outfit followed by your hair and makeup and it all paid off when you looked this...well, hot. The tight black skirt showed your legs off beautifully, and the plain white shirt was cut just low enough that you could see some cleavage without revealing anything too crazy. Your bold red lips stood out, and your curls fell almost effortlessly around your face, and truthfully, you couldn’t remember the last time you had felt that confident.
Leaving your bedroom, you headed out into the living room where your best friend and roommate, Tom, was hanging out, watching some game on the tv. Tom had been one of the few constants in your life, despite his coming and going to work on one film set or the other, he always came back home to you. On Thursday nights when he was home, you go see a movie and get dinner together, and when he was away he would video chat you for a few hours, catching up and telling you about all the exciting things that had been happening on set that week. It was a tradition that you deeply appreciated, but tried not to think too much about.
Tom was nothing short of a specimen of a man. He was fit, charming, incredibly handsome, patient, and all of those things mixed together often convinced you that he was made in a lab specifically for you. But, nevertheless, for fear of ruining the relationship between you, you never told him so. In a few drunken nights, however, you got fairly close to doing just that, wanting to hide from him the following day with embarrassment at the words you’d said the night before. You figured that if he didn’t know by now, he wasn’t really meant to...or he was just oblivious, which was a valid assumption as well.
“Hey.” Tom mumbled, hearing the sound of your heels clicking on the tiled floor while his eyes were trained on the game still, not really looking over at you as you looked at the clock in the kitchen. Great. You still had an hour before you had to leave for your date. “What are you up to this evening?” He asked and you turned to face him, seeing his eyes trail down your body. You shuddered at the idea of him checking you out, quickly shoving that crazy thought to the back of your mind.
“I uh-have a date.” You nodded, pressing your lips together. It wasn’t that you weren’t excited for the date, you were, but you also couldn’t help but wish that it were Tom you were going out with instead.
“Oh.” He nodded too, eyes dropping to the floor. “Come watch some tv with me until you have to go.” He insisted, patting the couch and grabbing the remote to put something else on.
“You didn’t have to do that, I know you were watching the game.” You mumbled and he shrugged as you sat. He placed his arm along the back of the couch, fingertips brushing your shoulder, drawing small, mindless circles into the exposed skin and setting your cheeks on fire with blush.
“I wanted to. I love spending time with you.” He insisted. You ducked your head with embarrassment when you realized that he wasn’t even trying to focus on the tv anymore, despite putting on one of his favorite movies.
“You’re missing the movie.” You whispered, cheeks burning hot.
“I much prefer this view.” He responded smoothly, not hesitating for even a second.
“Awful flirtatious today, aren’t we, Tom?” You mumbled, crossing your arms over your chest. You were starting to wonder if he didn’t know the truth about how you felt about him, and if he did, why was he taunting you? Your heart started to break a little when you came to the conclusion that you were the butt of his joke. He was bored, and toying with your emotions had clearly become a past time that he’d picked up, and that hurt.
“Maybe a little.” He shrugged, picking up a beer bottle off the table that you hadn’t noticed until he’d drawn your attention to it. Was it the beer? Was that making him do this cruel, awful thing to you? “Maybe I just don’t want you to leave.”
“Why would you not want me to leave?” You deadpanned, finding yourself angry that he would be so mean.
“Maybe I want you all to myself.” He whispered, dark brown eyes boring deeply into yours and making you squirm a little under the intensity of his gaze.
“Wait. Are you hitting on me?” You asked, eyebrows furrowing as your voice broke with complete disbelief.
“Jesus Christ, Y/N, YES! You’re a smart girl; I would have thought that you would have guessed it by now!” He groaned, pulling both hands through his curls.
“Every single time you walk out the door looking like THAT,” He pointed to your outfit, eyes wide and cheeks flushed pink with blush, “I think to myself, ‘Tommy, now is your chance to tell her how you feel. Tell her that you’re madly in love with her, and then maybe someday it’ll be you she’s going out with instead.’ But I never do, and you always leave and then I kick myself because I have had so many opportunities to make you mine and I’ve never even tried.” He continued as if you hadn’t even spoken and you found yourself utterly speechless. As you gave yourself a moment to let what he said sink in, he glanced over to you, weary brown eyes taking in each of your features. Your lips were separated in shock, and Tom’s gaze settled on them, no longer wandering the rest of your face. When his tongue flicked out to wet his bottom lip, he muttered a quiet “Fuck it” before crashing his mouth onto yours.
Everything about him was intoxicating, dizzying. You were in too far over your head and you were concerned that there was no turning back. But, as his tongue slipped along the seam of your lips, you wondered if you would ever want to turn back anyway. Tom was everything you could have ever wanted in a boyfriend, so why not just let him take that title? Placing two hands on his chest, pushing gently, he finally got the hint, leaning away from you with a bit of concern mixed in his muddy brown eyes.
“You really want me? You’re not just-”
“I’m not.” He assured, interrupting you.
“You know this is going to change everything, right?” You asked, afraid that he would somehow have changed his mind in the span of forty seconds.
“I think it’s about time for some change, don’t you?” He replied, placing another kiss to your lips.
