This is a two-shot. This is set after punch, love drunk just after Tom and Sam had gotten a taxi together back to Tom's flat. Also, forget that Sam was ever married to Dylan (he doesn't exist in this...) and forget the whole Iain affair too...
"Make yourself at home." Tom said as he shut the door after they entered. Tom hung his coat on the rack and put his shoes by the door. Sam mirrored his moves and Tom could tell she was nervous as this was her first time in Tom's flat.
"Do you want a drink? I've got red wine, white wine..." Tom asked as he entered the kitchen
"Red wine would be great thanks." Sam shouted as she entered the living room, unsure of what to do. A minute later, tom returned with a pint for him and a large glass of red wind for Sam. "Are you trying to get me drunk?" Sam joked as she took a small sip.
"You don't get drunk, I've seen you when we go for drinks after work. You could drink anyone under the table and still be alert enough to convince the police that you haven't had a drop to drink." Tom stated.
"Well then, that's that sorted." Sam concluded awkwardly. Tom was sure there was something bugging Sam, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He wasn't sure if it was just because it was her first time at his flat. Little did he know that what he was planning, was going to be her first time at something else too. Tom shuffled forward a little so that he was closer to Sam.
Sam had read up on the internet about the one event of her life that she both wanted and didn't want to happen. She used the advice given- but she couldn't believe she was actually taking advice from the internet.
Tom seemed comfortable around her. In fact he seemed very comfortable and that's what made her think that he was going to take their relationship further.
"If you don't want to be here, just say so. You don't look very well." Tom said. Sam looked at Tom and realised that he had noticed she was acting differently, however he had put it down to the fact that he thought she might be ill. He brushed his thumbs along her check and then put the back of his hand on her forehead. "You're hot as well."
That's because I'm nervous! Sam wanted to shout. "I'm not ill." Sam stated finally.
"If you're not ill then... Oh, are you on your period?" Tom asked softly as he wrapped his arm around her waist. Just tell him! He'll understand, Tom's a nice guy.
"No, no." Sam said quickly and defensively. Why didn't you tell him what you really want to say? You idiot!
"It's okay if you are on." Tom smiled as he tried to make Sam feel comfortable, she really seemed nervous but he couldn't work out why.
"Honestly, I'm not." Sam stated.
"Well what's bothering you? If you tell me, I might be able to help." Tom said softly. I'm a Virgin! Sam wanted to scream at him. Why can't you work it out? It would be so much easier if you said it instead of me! Sam glanced around the room and saw through a door Tom's bedroom where there was a large double bed in view. Seeing that made Sam tense up in Tom's arms. Tom followed her eye line over to his bed.
"Don't worry, I won't make you do anything you don't want to." Tom joked half heartedly.
"No, no. It's not that." Sam replied. Well it's quite the opposite! It's what I do want to do! And I want it to be with you. Sam had finally made her mind up. The way that Tom had been caring enough to notice that there was something wrong with Sam made her realise that he knew her, and she knew him.
"Well what is it then?" Tom asked softly. As much as he was getting annoyed, because he wasn't sure if she was playing hard to get or not, he didn't want to show his anger because that certainly wouldn't make Sam open up. Right this is it, this is your prime opportunity. Just tell him!
"I... Promise me you won't laugh?" Sam began.
"I promise." Tom smiled as he tightened his grip around her waist.
"I'm a virgin." Sam mumbled very quietly but she immediately regretted it. She hoped he hadn't heard it and luckily he didn't. But now he wasn't going to let it go.
"Speak up a bit." Tom smiled to try and make her feel a bit more comfortable.
"I'm a virgin there I said it. Happy now?" Sam snapped.
"You should've just said." Tom whispered. "It doesn't matter, not to me anyway. I'm not that shallow." He added. As much as he couldn't believe what she had just said, she had no reason to lie about that, and besides, Sam never lied any way.
"So you're not gonna go and tell everyone at work?" Sam queried nervously.
"No, of course not. Look I don't want to force you into anything. If this relationship is gonna work, I want both of us to be happy, and as long as you're happy so am I. Just, let me know when you're ready and-"
"I am ready." Sam mumbled. "I am ready Tom." Sam said more confidently as she looked him in the eyes.
"Are you sure it's not the wine talking?" Tom joked.
"Are you trying to talk me out of this?" Sam said nervously.
"No, no. Just, tell me what you want, if you want to stop it's okay." Tom said and Sam nodded and then just sat there.
"What am I supposed to do now?" She asked.
"There's nothing you're supposed to do." Tom laughed. "Look, you're obviously a bit worked up over this so let's just leave it until tomorrow okay. I'll cook us dinner and we can spend the evening together. How does that sound?" Tom asked.
"Perfect." Sam replied as she rested her head on his chest and she let out a sigh of relief. "Have you got aftershave on?" Sam smiled.
"A little. Why?" Tom asked.
"It's really nice." Sam said as she snuggled her face into his chest. Tom looked down at her and gently stroked her long, thick hair.
"Well in that case, I'll wear it more often." He smiled. "Look I don't want to embarrass you or anything but, you're 28. Your beautiful, you have a wonderful personality and an amazing figure. Why are you still a virgin?" Tom asked quietly.
"I've just... I guess I've never been with anyone that I trust as much as I do you." Sam admitted. "I've been with people who wanted to go further but... I don't know I think they just, they always move too fast for me. But I like to take things slowly, I don't want to rush into things."
"I completely understand that, don't worry. Y'know what, it's getting late so why don't we just go to bed?" Tom suggested.
"Okay, can just use the bathroom first?" Sam asked as the pair stood up.
"Yeah sure. There's an ensuite on the right." Tom said as he pointed to the bedroom.
"Thanks." Sam smiled as she walked into the bedroom and into the ensuite. Tom turned the light off in the living room before he entered the bedroom, got changed into an old tshirt and left his boxers on. Usually, he slept naked but he decided not to on that occasion because he knew it would make Sam feel uncomfortable. He got out a thin cotton shirt that he never wore anymore because it was too tight, along with a pair of shorts that were way too small for him and assumed that they would be okay for Sam to wear.
He heard the toilet flush, the taps run and then Sam came out of the bathroom.
"You can wear these if you want. And I think there's a new toothbrush, some face wipes and things like that in the bathroom cabinet if you wanna freshen up at all." Tom explained. "Just use whatever you want."
"Thanks." Sam said gratefully before she returned to the bathroom and shut the door behind her.
It took a good five minutes until both of them were ready for bed. Tom was already in bed when Sam got in next to him and pulled the duvet up to her chin.
"Are you cold?" Tom queried as he turned the bedside lamp off, leaving the pair in a very dark room.
"A bit." Sam admitted.
"I suppose I'd better warm you up then eh?" Tom joked as he wrapped his arms around her and rested them on her stomach. He felt her relax in his embrace and she put her hands on top of his. "Night night." Tom whispered.
"Goodnight." Sam smiled now that she was in the dark and he couldn't see her. She'd always thought that she'd be nervous when the time came to losing her virginity, especially considering she was older than the average age, but she was sure that Tom wouldn't make her do anything she didn't want to, and he seems really understanding compared to what she expected. With his reassuring nature, and his soft, warm hold on her, she soon fell asleep looking forward to the next day.
Thanks for reading, the second (and last) chapter of this fic will be up tomorrow hopefully. Please review x
