This is my first D.A story. Please read and review :)
Day 14.
12 days later, on a Saturday, Sybil texted Tom, asking him if he wanted to go to see a film that afternoon. At school, they had started to always have lunch together and Sybil was now certain that he was the one with whom she wanted to be. Within a couple of seconds, Tom replied affirmatively and Sybil beamed with joy.
A couple of hours later, Sybil saw Tom's car pull up outside of her block of flats and she grabbed her bag and made her way to meet him. As she reached him, their eyes met again. Mary expressed her surprise that the two of them had still not kissed, but it did not bother Sybil. Tom leaned closer to her and slowly kissed her on the check again, before smiling and leading her to his car.
The film was a very good one and, as the film reached its end, Tom took hold of Sybil's hand and squeezed it. Sybil turned to look at him and saw affection in his eyes and she hoped that her eyes showed this and when Tom smiled at her, she knew that they indeed did. When the film ended, Tom seemed to become more tense and he sighed. "Sybil, if you're sure you want to be with me, there's something you need to know about me."
Frowning, Sybil asked, "What's that, because there's nothing I could find out about you which would change how I feel about you, Tom. Nothing." She looked into his eyes so that he understood that she meant it and she really did. He simply nodded, then asked, "Do you mind if I take you back to mine? There's something I have to show you."
Very confused, Sybil nodded and smiled gently again, as she could tell that he was very nervous about whatever he was going to show her. She had no idea about what he was going to show her, but she knew that to ask would be a bad idea, as he was very nervous.
Tom's house was on the outskirts of town. It was a small house, with two bedrooms, but it did have a garden and Sybil smiled as she saw that the garden was well-kept and knew that her mother would approve of the garden. Tom led her into the house, holding her hand and this made Sybil smile, as it was another sign of affection. As they entered the kitchen, she saw that there was a woman there and, judging by her age and how she looked, she guessed that she was Tom's mum. Her guess was confirmed when she heard the woman speak. She smiled as she said, "You must be Sybil. It's so nice to meet you. I'm Carla, Tom's mum." Sybil instantly liked her and smiled to say hello.
As she was about to ask Carla a question about what she did for a living, the kitchen door opened and a little girl, with dark hair, who looked about 4 ran into the room. "Daddy, you're home!" She ran over to Tom, who caught her in his arms and picked her up into his arms. Sybil bit her lip, wondering what the story behind this little girl was. Instead of waiting to be told and standing there in silence, she smiled at the little girl. "Hello. I'm Sybil. What's your name?"
The little girl titled her head, as a dog did when it was curious about something, and her brown eyes surveyed Sybil for a while, before she smiled and answered, "I'm Rosa. You must be Sybil, Daddy talks about you all the time." Sybil saw Tom blush and she felt herself blushed.
Tom kissed his daughter on the head, then suggested, "Darling, how about you go to your room and let Granny read you a story? I'll be through soon." The little girl hugged her dad, dropped to the floor and led her grandmother out of the kitchen.
Tom sat down and sighed, running his hands through his hair. Sybil sat down and smiled, "She's a very sweet girl." She paused, then asked, "Where's her mother?" She took hold of his hands and squeezed them, in order to give him strength to tell her the truth.
"Rosa's mother walked out on us after she was born," Tom replied in a low voice, "she sent the divorce papers through and that was that. Rosa's never met her mother and, to be honest, I doubt she ever will. I couldn't take care of her alone, so my mum came over to help take care of her. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, Sybil. I really like you and I thought that, if I told you, you'd look at me differently and"-
He was cut off by Sybil kissing him passionately. He responded with equal passion and their hands in entwined in each other's. Their passionate kiss finally ended and their eyes met and they both smiled. "Tom, I want to be with you and I love kids, so I'm sure I'll love Rosa." They kissed again, before Sybil decided that she had to go home. They kissed each other goodbye and they parted ways.
