SUMMARY: Tommy's at Tara's and we'll see what happens.


Tara woke to see Tommy sitting in the chair beside her bed, asleep. Carefully, she slipped of her bed and went out into the living room. Looking up at the clock, she realized that both of them needed food. She placed a call for pizza and started a pot of coffee.


Tommy's eyes opened to Tara sitting on the edge of her bed holding a cup of coffee. He almost giggled; she looked almost like a little girl sitting on her parents' bed. That is until you noticed the womanly curves.

She held out the cup with a smile. Tommy sat up, reaching for it with a sleepy grin.

After a few sips, Tommy sighed. "This is fantastic coffee." He winked at her. "And the service is some of the best I've ever had."

"Pizza's on the way. I thought you might want some." She smiled. "I know I haven't eaten since lunch. So I kind of figured that you'd be kind of hungry by now too."

He reached out and brushed a lock of hair behind her ear. He stood up and bent over. "Thank you," he whispered just before pressing his lips to her forehead.

Her eyes drifted closed as she simply basked in the feeling of his lips on her forehead.

When Tommy pulled back and saw her eyes closed, he got worried. "You okay?"

Her eyes flashed open. "J-J-Just …"

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you. I couldn't help it. You just looked so beautiful."

A fierce blush flooded Tara's cheeks and she ducked her head to hide her face. The knock at her door caused them both a bit of a jump.

Tommy started toward the door, giving Tara a moment to compose herself. He paid the delivery man and turned toward the kitchen to set the food down.

"Tara! Come on!" He looked over to see her standing in her bedroom doorway. He smiled and gestured for her to follow him.


The two of them were snuggled up on the couch watching 'Halloween Resurrection' when the phone rang. Tara, startled, yelped and pressed closer to Tommy.

When she realized that it was just her phone, she looked up at Tommy sheepishly before sitting up to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hi, sissy. Is Tommy there?" Jason's voice firmly anchored her back in reality.

"Sure. Do you want to talk to him?"

"Could I?"

Tara handed the phone to Tommy. "It's Jason."

"Hey, Jase."

"Tommy, are you coming back here tonight?" Jason sounded like he was fully into big brother mode.

"I'll be back as soon as this movie's over." He knew that Jason was worried about his baby sister. "Don't worry. I'm not putting the move on your sister." He looked over at Tara and smiled before making a funny face that made her giggle.

"Okay. Any idea what time?"

"Movie's only got about thirty minutes left. I should be back shortly after that."

"Okay. Let me talk to Tara again." Tommy handed her back the phone. "Hey, sissy, Kim wants you to wear the new outfit tomorrow. See you then." He hung up without giving her a chance to answer.

She settled the phone back into its cradle and curled back up to Tommy where she sat comfortably until the credits started rolling.

The two of them got up and walked to the door. "I'll see you tomorrow, Tommy."

"Sweet dreams, Tara." He turned to open the door. Tara touched his arm and he turned back to her.

With no warning, Tara looped her arms around Tommy's neck and pulled him down to her. Then, she pressed her lips to his.

Letting go of the doorknob, Tommy wrapped both arms around her and picked her up. He slanted his lips and held her tightly. His tongue gently swept across her lips and she timidly opened to allow him to introduce her to this less innocent style of kissing.

After a few moments of kissing the young woman in his arms deeply, Tommy pulled back and pressed his forehead to hers, sucking in several deep breaths to calm himself.

Smiling down at her as he set her back on her feet, he kept one arm wrapped around her for a moment as she staggered. She licked her lips and looked up at him. "Thank you," she whispered.

He bent back down to her. "Thank you, Tara. I'll see you tomorrow."

After pressing his lips to her forehead once more, Tommy left the apartment. Tara wandered dreamily to her bedroom, having made her decision. She would wear the new outfit that her brother had bought for her.
