"It is good." Tommy turns his head away he was already in enough trouble with Kim.
Kate sits down, "you know I have not been on a date in a while and you seem like a nice gentleman." Kate bats her eyelashes.
"Oh I uh I am with someone and I do not think she would like it much if we went out." Too bad, I had not made met her beforehand or else I could have had some fun with her. Tommy steals a quick glance at Kate's body.
"Well if you two do not work out then here is my phone number call me anytime," Kate sees Kim approaching and rubs Tommy's hand before she walks away from the table.
Tommy pulls out Kim' chair for her. "What was that all about?"
"What," Tommy asks innocently.
Kim gives Tommy a look. "You are making it very difficult to see my crane tattoo."
Tommy coughs, "Crane tat… tattoo."
"Yup I got it when I was in Florida." "Too bad you won't be able to see it."
"I will never look at another women again!" "Tommy gets down on one knee, "Marry me Kim."
Kim gives Tommy her famous yeah-right expression before he sits back down.
"Oh okay I know the way to your heart." Tommy smiles at Kim.
"Seems to me like you have no idea the way to my heart," Kim protests.
"Just wait and see." "Now let's finish this dinner so I can take you to your temporarily home.
On the car ride back, Kim tries to guess what Tommy has planned but cannot come up with an explanation. "Give me a hint please."
"No just wait like a patient good little girl; you will find out soon enough." Tommy pulls into their friends' driveway. "Tomorrow I will pick you up at seven; wear something sexy and short."
"Oh Tommy that makes me want to say yes to your proposal," Kim tells him sarcastically.
"You will see why tomorrow." Without saying anything else; he steps out of the car and opens Kim's car door for her. "Bye Kim, see you tomorrow."
"What no kiss or walk to the door fondle?"
"Nope see you tomorrow." Tommy gets into his car and waits until Kim unlocks the door and enters the home to drive off.
Kim enters the home and sees that her friends are sleeping. Hum, I guess he put it on her and exhausted them both. She takes a bubble bath before she goes to sleep herself.
Aisha is up the next morning and wants to hear all about Kim and Tommy's date.
"After the next incident with the waitress he decides to purpose." Kim is sitting on the couch drinking a cup of tea.
"He did and what did you do?" Aisha sips her tea.
"Nothing, so he decided to plan this mysterious date tonight and I got to tell you I am a little turned on by it." Kim cannot help the smile that crept out. Damn he is too sexy for his own good. I need to make sure my guard is up.
"Oh Kim who wouldn't be; when Tommy gets all mysterious and brooding it makes a girl want to do whatever it is he tells them to."
Kim sips her tea. "I don't want to give it up so fast."
"How can you not with sexy Tommy whispering in your ear." Aisha sits back in her recliner.
"Ooh I am telling Adam; you have a thing for Tommy," Kim jokes.
"Oh Adam knows how I feel about Tommy," Aisha touches the rim of her teacup.
"Wow I should have been paying closer attention to you two." Kim laughs.
"What can I say I like them tall, dark, and handsome."
"Just help me find something to wear for tonight." Kim drinks the last of her tea.
"Shopping trip then; come on," Aisha puts Kim and her teacup in the sink.
At the mall, Kim is trying on dresses. "I like this but I think it is too short."
"There is no such thing as too short besides it is white and black with green beading."
"I know Tommy's favorite colors minus red which I can substitute with lipstick but I can barely bend over in this dress."
"Just buy it and tell me how great the sex was okay girlie." Aisha holds up a yellow and green dress with black beading to her body.
"If I buy mines then you are buying yours." Kim crosses her arms.
"Alright you don't have to tell me twice." Aisha takes out her credit card.
Kim showers using her pink rose body gel she enjoys the hot water spraying her body. Lathering up her loofa with shower gel Kim begins to wash her body and for a moment, she envisions that Tommy is in the shower with her washing her up. Kim shivers a little despite the hot water from the shower that has caused the bathroom to fog. Next she begins shampooing her hair and scolding herself for thinking about Tommy bathing her. He needs to earn it Kim remember that. Kim steps out of the shower, wraps her towel around herself and rubs the mirror to take off some of the fog. She stares at herself for a second before she applies her makeup, walks to her bedroom to lotion up, and get dressed.
At seven Kim is nervous about her date with Tommy. Where is he taking me and what will we do? It had better not be to his house for sex. Kim checks her appearance in the mirror one last time before she walks downstairs.
Tommy pulls up into his friends' driveway and grabs the flowers before exiting the car. She will love the surprise I have planned for her. He rings the doorbell.
Kim opens the door and looks at Tommy. "You seem to be not too dressed up."
"It calls for us to look nice but not too nice; understand." He hands Kim the flowers. "Stunning."
"Thank you let me put these lilies in some water; be right back." Kim walks off and Tommy closes the door.
"Where are Adam and Aisha?" Tommy sits down.
"Oh at his parent's house for dinner; they should be back by ten."
"Okay; ready to go?" Tommy stands up.
Kim nods and let's Tommy lead her out the door; she locks it before he opens the car door for her. "Now can you tell me where are we going?"
"Nope; maybe I should blind fold you?"
"You had better not," Kim scoots back in her seat causing Tommy to laugh.
"I am not going to kidnap you Kim and make you stay with me till you make love to me."
"Still I need to have my guard up with you."
"Sure," Tommy pulls into a parking lot.
"A bar, Tommy; really," Kim does not wait for Tommy to open her door.
"Yes a bar now come on in." He leads the way to the front door. As he unlocks the door, Kim asks him a question.
"Do you own this bar?" Kim glances at him.
"Uh huh for a while now; I just did not tell you about it yet." He opens the door and let's her walk in first. "Welcome to the Falcon Crane."
"Oh wow Tommy you decorated the bar nicely but still you are not getting any from me tonight." Kim looks around the bar. Falcon Crane, a clever one he is.
"Why wear that dress then?" Tommy chuckles as Kim blushes.
"Let's eat dinner." He pulls out her chair for her.
"What is on the menu?"
"Grilled cheese; naw I am just joking." "Roast with baby vegetables." Tommy walks into the kitchen then returns with a tray.
"Looks good; so far so good." Kim says grace before they eat.
"How is it?" Tommy finishes the last of the food on his plate.
"Just scrumptious; now what's next," Kim eyes him warily.
"This." Tommy takes Kim's hand and leads her to the dance floor. He presses a button on a remote and music fills the room. He uses the same remote to dim the lights before he sets the remote down on a table.
"Ah I love this song." Kim settles into Tommy's arms.
After a few songs, Kim smiles at Tommy. "I have got to hand it to you but we are still not having sex tonight." Damn he smells good.
That is what you think. "How about a game of pool?" Stop staring at her cleavage Oliver.
"In this short dress; okay I can use that to my advantage." Kim takes a pool stick from Tommy and begins sinking the balls into the holes.
"I forgot how good you are," Tommy watches Kim play.
"We should have made a bet," Kim says before she attempts to sink the eight ball into the corner pocket. "Damn I missed your turn."
"My turn is it?" Tommy begins to walk over to Kim yet when he reaches her, he grabs the pool stick and puts it on the rack.
"Aren't you going to take your turn," Kim asks.
"Come here a second I have something I want to show you."
Kim walks to the next pool table. "What is that?"
"This Beautiful is the letter you wrote after that dreadful one you wrote to me."
Kim gasps, "But I thought I never sent that."
"You didn't but Aisha did," Tommy begins to read the letter.
"Okay, okay so she went behind my back and mailed you that letter." Kim shrugs her shoulders. "I had written you that awful letter and when I had realized what I had done I try to retract it problem was you were with Kat and so I decided to not mail it."
"I know but it was mailed and to me." "At first I thought it served you right to feel some of the pain I felt but then I begin to think about what would happen if I did break up with Kat and take you back." Tommy puts the letter on a chair that was next to the pool table.
"Well you did not break up with Kat when you received the letter, so my letter had no effect on you besides you keeping it." "Why did you keep my letter and why is it in your pocket now?"
"Hum let's see this letter was one of the reasons I broke up with Kat; I realized I could never love her or anyone like I love you and secondly she found the letter."
Kim laughs, "You must have not had it in a safe place."
"Oh I did keep it in a safe place; it's just that one time I was reading it and she showed up." "I forgot to put the letter up and when I went to my bedroom to get my shoes, she discovered the letter and the awful one resting on the kitchen table."
"Wow that must have been some blow out and why did you not tell me you had received this letter?" Kim leans against the pool table.
"There was a huge blow out over why I was still keeping letters that my ex-girlfriend wrote me and why did you write me a second time." "Long story short we argued she cried we broke up and I just decided to keep the letter a secret for a while then time got the best of me."
"I must not have been too special to you if you forgot about the letter and me."
"Oh Kim but I never forgot I just did not know how to approach you." Tommy looks at Kim.
"Well let's get back to our game of pool," Kim hands Tommy another stick.
Tommy grabs the stick but places it back on the rack.
Kim asks him, "Aren't you going to take your shot?"
Tommy faces her and grabs her head. "Right now Beautiful."
The two begin to kiss softly at first then with more intensity. Kim grabs Tommy's head and opens her mouth for him to enter. In one fluent motion, he backs her up against the pool table before he lifts her dress and her and places her on the pool table. Tommy hands begin to roam over her legs and body as they continue to kiss passionately. He lifts her dress over her head and his hands glide over her toned body. Kim unbuttons Tommy shirt with his help and unbuckles his pants. She watches as he removes the dress shirt and the undershirt he had on underneath. Kim begins to push Tommy's dress pants down letting him know he needed to remove those next. She marvels at his body before he reclaims her mouth. As Tommy is kissing Kim, his hands trail to her shoulders where he lowers her bra straps down her arms before he unclasps her bra and drops it to the floor. He begins trailing kisses down Kim's breasts to her navel and as he is kissing her, he lifts her using one arm and takes off her panties using the hand from his other arm. Kim smiles at him she had forgotten how strong Tommy really was. She soon realizes that she is the only one that is completely naked and does a little tug on Tommy's briefs making him use that same hand he had used to remove her panties to take of his briefs. Both marvel at the others body for a second before Tommy softly places Kim back on the pool table and smiles a loving smile at her before he enters her.
The music continues to play in the background as they lay on the pool table spent. Tommy folds his hand into Kim's hand and looks into her eyes. Neither can utter a sound. Both cannot help but fall asleep in each other's arms.
Tommy wakes up first and looks down at Kim whose head is resting on his chest. I am blessed to have Kim back in my life and to have her be with me the way she should. He kisses her hair and smiles at her.
Kim senses Tommy looking at her and raises her head to stare into his eyes. "Enjoying the view?" She playfully asks him.
"I always enjoy this view." "I hate to break the mood but it will soon be daylight and unless you want to face Aisha and Adam with yesterday's clothes on; I suggest I take you home."
"Yeah you are right about that." Kim slowly moves out of Tommy's arms. "I don't suppose you know where our clothes are?"
"Tossed everywhere," Tommy gets off the pool table and helps Kim down. "Let's just clothes collect clothes and toss our clothes to each other."
"Alright but no trying to keep my panties as a trophy," Kim stretches.
"Who me," Tommy laughs.
It takes the pair a short time to find where their clothes were scattered about. Tommy drives Kim back to their friends' house. "Want to watch a movie later?"
"Sure but let it be late afternoon; I need some sleep."
"Aw did I tire you out?" Tommy asks looking at Kim's body. "I told you I knew the way to your heart." He gives her a sly smile.
"Men; just pick me up at like four-thirty." Kim gets out of the car and sneakily walks up the stairs to her room.
Tommy drives home content with how the night went. He falls asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Tommy wakes up at two-thirty and decides to set up for Kim and his movie date.
Kim walks down the stairs at three- twenty. She knew Aisha would bombard her with questions for getting home so late and coming down so late. Before her friend could response, Kim told her that she and Tommy had a festive date.
"Oh and how was the date festive?" Aisha questions.
"We went to his bar." Kim pours herself a cup of coffee.
"The Falcon Crane," Aisha studies Kim.
"Yup that is the one and we ate dinner and slowed danced." Kim sets the mug on the table.
"I know you two did more than that you did not come home until the wee hours of the morning." Aisha folds her arms across her chest. "No lying Kimmy."
Kim sighs, "Okay I did something I am not proud of; we made love." "I told myself to make him wait but you know how smooth Tommy can be."
Aisha smiles, "I can only imagine how was it?"
"Uh I am not comfortable talking about it now; I mean we have not even discussed if we are back together officially now or still dating." Kim shakes her head.
"Well when is the next time you see him; I know you two made plans."
"Yeah for today but it is only a movie date at his house." Kim picks up her cup of coffee.
"Ooh a house date for more sex." "When you return I want all the details from last night and today." "I mean it Kim no holding back." Aisha stands up.
"Sure Aisha, so you can think of how it is to make love to Tommy."
"What he is my secret crush; if not for Adam than you would have had some competition for Tommy's heart." Aisha smiles evilly at Kim.
"Ah you are forgetting about Kat besides I would have won." Kim smiles evilly back.
Adam walks into the kitchen making the women go silent before the both begin to crack up.
"What did I miss?" Adam looks from one woman to the other confused.
"Nothing sweetie, Kim needs to get ready for her date." Aisha and Kim go up to Kim's room.
Tommy arrives right on time to pick up Kim. He laughs as he sees Kim walking fast from the house. "What is wrong Kim?"
"Aisha is what's wrong, she oh never mind." Kim hops into his car. "Just drive."
"Okay if you say so." Tommy drives to his house and opens the car door for Kim. "I have a good movie selection; so you can pick a movie and I can pick one." He unlocks the front door. "Welcome to Oliver Manor."
"Oliver Manor, really Tommy." Kim laughs as she enters the spacious house. "Nice Oliver."
"I knew I wanted a house that had plenty of privacy and roomy." Tommy leads the way to the living room. "I will grab the drinks and the snacks you just relax and pick the movie."
Kim picks the movie and waits for Tommy to return from the kitchen. "I choose Taken; I know it is an action movie but I love how the main character loves his daughter."
"Excellent choice," Tommy sits down by Kim on the couch. The two make out and barely watches the movie.
After the movie, Kim decides to be the one to get the snacks and drinks while Tommy picks the movie. In the kitchen, Kim spies a piece of paper on the kitchen table and curiously, she grabs the paper and reads it. What the hell she gave him her phone number. Kim marches back into the living room holding the piece of paper. "Tommy why do you have that waitress phone number?"
Oh, shit. "Uh she gave it to me; Kim I was not going to call her." Tommy gives Kim puppy dog eyes and a pout. This does not seem to be going well.
"Then why not throw it out or better yet crumbled it up and threw it back in her face." "No wonder you did not make it official last night, you still want to have fun with other women."
"No Kim it is not like that; it's just that she is cute and it boosted my ego some." Tommy tells her as if it was nothing wrong with what he did.
"Oh so being with me did not boost your ego?" Kim challenges.
"Come on Kim be reasonable I am only a guy after all." Tommy holds up his hands.
"How could I forget; just take me home please." Kim throws the paper at him before she grabs her purse. I could hit him.
"Oh really Kim that is a little…"
"Just take me home." Kim was feeling a little humiliated. What if I run into her and had no idea that Tommy had taken her phone number.
Tommy shrugs his shoulders before he grabs his car keys. Guess I will not be getting lucky tonight unless I call the server Kate. Like I thought earlier this would definitely not go well.
Aisha wonders why Kim is back so early and asks her why but Kim tells her not now and walks to her temporarily bedroom.
The next few days are full of tension and when Adam or Aisha asks Kim about it, she tells them to talk to that bonehead Tommy. He only tells them that Kim is being insecure and needs to get over herself before he will consider taking her out again.
Adam tells him to think. "Come on man you just got Kim back in your life."
"Yeah and who wants to see soul mates fight over something, so stupid; just apologize to Kim and tell her that she has nothing to be jealous about," Aisha adds.
"Why should I be the one to come running to her?" "She was the one who messed up the first time and I think this time as well; it was only a phone number it is not like I slept with the girl or anything." Tommy refused to be the bigger person and apologize to Kim.
Kim soon finds a flat that is to her liking and moves in shortly after. Kim is fixing up her new place when she receives a call. Chad is coming to visit her. She is overjoyed that her friend is coming and thinks that it is the perfect time to get her revenge on Tommy. I think I will enjoy flirting with him although he is seeing that woman I helped hook him up with at my mom and stepdad's dinner party. Oh well it will all be in innocent fun. Kim begins to think of ways to mess with Tommy's mind. I want him to feel how I felt when I saw that phone number.
Chad arrives a few days later. "Kim I have missed you." He hugs Kim.
"Oh Chad and I have missed you too; how is Paris?" Kim sits down on the couch.
"Great as always but I know that is not what you want to talk about." Chad sits down next to Kim on the couch.
"Nope I need ways to make him jealous like I told you on the plane." Kim smiles evilly.
"I can help there; remember when I had the hugest crush on you." "I understand how special you are and what you like and dislike; he will go crazy with wanting you." Chad drinks his coffee.
"Aw how I missed scheming with you." "We would make my parents parties interesting and show those snobs what it meant to be a human being." Kim sips her latte.
