Hi, so as I have put Just us on hold, i am able to focus more on getting this story finished first. I aim to write a lot more on this story this month, hopefully finish it so I can spend July and August writing Just Us. So, I'm going to be writing like mad now. I have oly 3 more exams and they are spread out in such a way that leaves me with a lot of spare time. However, i will not be able to access my computer in early July so updates may slow before as i will focus on Just Us. I will be writing about a chapter a day. Here we go!
A month had passed since my birthday and all was well. My relationship with Will had only grown better, especially after he expressed his approval of my relationship with Tom. He had only been jealous of his closeness to me when Will had almost destroyed his chances of frienship with me. Now that the relationship was rescued, he was more open to the idea of me courting Tom.
Just last week, he had pulled Tom aside to give him a warning about hurting me. It was sweet and I was happy I had my big brother back. Tom and I had grown closer as well. We had been on several dates to carnivals and the market. Tom had also taken me to see a play.
I was stood in my room, looking over my clothes, making sure they were perfect. Tom was taking me out to dinner, to a restaraunt that he assured me made delicious food. After finding no faults in my attire, I strolled to the front door of the church, where Tom had agreed to meet me.
When I arrived, he was already there. He was wearing a brand new suit that he had bought at the market two weeks ago and I had to say, he looked fantastic. It was form fitting and smart and made him look like a true gentlemen.
When he noticed me, he held out his arm in a mocking gesture and I looped my arm through his so he could lead me outside. When we stepped out, I noticed Charlotte and Henry's carriage sitting there with the driver in his seat.
"You asked to borrow the carriage?" I quizzed Tom. Why would we need the carriage when I new for a fact that we could easliy walk?
"I want tonight to be amazing. I'm going to do the date properly, like a real gentlemen would. And that includes the carriage."
I leaned up and kissed him sweetly for his efforts. His words had really affected me strongly and i could feel my heart swelling with love. I let him help me up into the carriage before he climbed in himself and shut the door. Riding in this rather posh coach made me feel special and really odd. It was wierd watching the people walk around the box and horses when I was usually one of those people.
It didn't take long for us to arrive at the restaraunt and when we did, tom climbed out and held out a hand to help me. Now, the good thing about this restaraunt is that Tom was friends with the owner who, unlike many, didn't have anything against same-sex couples. When we entered, he lead us to a private room so we could have our date without having to watch our behavior.
The room was decorated in rich and dark colours, creating a warm but smart atmosphere. We sat down at the table and a serving boy came in to take our orders. Tom ordered a bottle of wine and I let him order for me - he does know what tastes best here, afterall.
We chatted all through dinner and dessert. We never ran out of things to talk about and he was always maknig me laugh. It was nearing half past nine when he put his cutlery down and suddenly turned serious.
In return, i placed my spoon down and frowned at him in concern, "Are you alright, Tom?"
He looked up at me with a gentle and loving smile and I knew that my love for him was returned fully, "Yes, thank you."
We sat in silence and there was an almost electric charge in the air. it was suddenly borken by Tom clearing his throat nervously before shifting his chair around so he was next to me instead of opposite.
"Harry... I love you so much and I want everyone to know. I don't care if they don't accept it. The ones that matter do. I want to be with you forever and I'd like to think that you want the same, so, will you marry me?"
The nerves were clear in Tom's voice as I stared at him in shock. However, my shock was only momentary as not a second later, I launched myslef into Tom's lap to kiss the life out of him. He was happy to participate and we only broke apart when the waiter came to collect our bowls. We pulled apart and blushed, as did the waiter and he picked the bowls up and hurried out of the room.
As soon as he had left, Tom pulled out a little box and opened it to reveal the most beautiful ring I had ever seen. It was a silver band with just one elegant diamond sitting on the top. it was slightly femenine but still beautiful and I would wear it happily.
I held out my hand and took a deep, shuddering breath as it was slipped onto my finger by Tom. It was a perfect fit, just like the promise ring. i admired it on my hand for a moment before I grinned giddily up at Tom. he pulled me into another loving kiss and I new then that my life was perfect.
A little cheesey but sweet. Anyway, I hope you like the fact that updates will be a lot more common. I aim to write a chapter a day but whether that actually happens is a different story. You will get one every 3 days at least though!
