Tom 'Wildman' Watts stared out at the football field, watching the pass. He felt as if he was dreaming on a football field, first season of the nfl playing for the Los Angeles Raiders. Tom thought back to the end of his senior year when he graduated…
Tom looked out at the crowd, searching for her, he hoped she came, even though they hadn't spoken for most of the year. Tom wondered if she still cared about him. He sighed defeated, no such luck. He was alone.
Tom jogged out to the field to join the rest of the players with the drills.
Elizabeth Wakefield had gotten off the plane from London the previous night, sleeping off her jetlag. She checked her e-mails to see if she got a reply from him. No such luck. Elizabeth got out of bed, putting the laptop aside, heading to the bathroom to begin her day.
Tom stood under the shower spray a while later, letting it cover his body. He thought more and more about the e-mails he received from her. He saw that she had slept with the guy and made a mistake, he went pale. What did the guy have that he didn't?
Elizabeth stood in the line at the coffee house not far from SVU campus waiting for her coffee two hours later. She felt a warm presence behind her and there stood Tom Watts himself. Her heart beat faster.
"Welcome back stranger" Tom teased, grinning at her. "When did you get back?"
"Yesterday, I was pretty wiped. Jessica came to London; I went home with her" Elizabeth admitted. "Max flew me home"
"Oh was that your Christmas present? Or a guilt present?" Tom asked.
Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders.
"Both I guess" Elizabeth replied. Tom nodded. "I actually want to thank you for listening to me, I don't think I could have gotten through all this without you"
Tom smiled at her. "My pleasure Liz, I care about you". Tom pulled her into his arms for a hug.
Elizabeth stepped forward and snuggled closer in his strong arms, she had missed him.
"Want to have a coffee with me? Elizabeth asked.
"Sure sounds great" Tom accepted with a grin. Tom went to order his coffee when Elizabeth collected hers. Elizabeth smiled and went to find a table.
