When Tina woke up, Tommy was getting changed.

"What are you doing? I was hoping for a lay in with you..." She questioned.

"I'm going to work."

"You don't work, though?"

"Yeah I do. It was going to be a surprise, but now I work at the Bistro. I go in the morning, clean the dishes and stuff because Gail got the sack, then come back at 4 and work until closing, Tuesday to Friday. And it works round your hours, because we get the whole of Mondays together, and we see each other after closing, cos they close the same time!" Tommy was ecstatic to share the news, but Tina was gobsmacked.

"Oh my god, you legend!" She climbed out of bed and smartened up his waistcoat. "Has anyone ever told you you look sexy in a tight waistcoat?"

"Nope!" Tina gave him a kiss.

"Well, you do..." She started kissing his neck then Tommy fell back on the sofa with Tina on top...


"Okay, no more distractions, I'm going to work." Tommy and Tina walked out the bedroom, and Tina giggled.

"Sorry, aren't I a bad influence on you?"

"Yes, you are. I'm going now, see you later. I'll be back in an hour, then we can spend the rest of the morning together." He gave her a kiss then left.

Tommy walked into the Bistro, and immediately knew this was the place for him. Nick came out to greet him.

"Hey, Tommy! You know what to do?" He inquired.

"Sure do, boss." Nick passed him a set of keys. "What're these for?"

"You can open up in the morning. Saves me getting up early every day. You're only going to be doing the dishes for the week; next week you can replace the barrels, cos my mum's coming back."

"You actually trust me to open up? Well, you can count on me."

"Good. See you at 4 then!" Nick walked through the exit.


After working, Tommy burst through the door to his flat.

"Hey!" Tina walked up to him and put her arms round his neck. "How'd it go?"

"Great. I get to open up every morning. And the pay is better than the garage so... yeah, pretty good."

"We have time to watch a film..." Tina suggested.

"Cool. But what am I going to do all day when you're at work?"

"I don't know. But my shift ends at 5, then starts again at 8 til closing so we can spend some time in the Bistro together."

"This is really gonna work out, isn't it?" Tommy smiled at Tina. "I get a free meal in the Bistro with someone, so how about we celebrate tonight?"

"Good idea... I'm 24 weeks tomorrow!"

"Wow, you're HUGE!"

"Thanks, you really know how to make a girl feel special." Tina frowned.

"HUGE-ly beautiful...?" Tommy tried to fix things and Tina just laughed.

"Just don't do that when I'm all hormonal, or you're a dead ducky."

After their film, Tina left for her shift and Tommy got really bored. Then he had an idea and got up.


On Tommy's dinner break, he had his free meal with Tina. Even though it was free, he still went for the cheap stuff out of habit.

"Tommy, this is free, you're meant to have expensive stuff!" Tina giggled.

"Yeah, but I don't want to take advantage."

When their food arrived Tommy put a hand over Tina and looked her in the eye.

"What? What have you done?" Tina twigged it.

"Ugh, I'm really bad. aren't I? Well, tomorrow is Saturday, so I've booked us into a few church visits, then we can set a date and get ready!" Tommy revealed this and Tina hung her mouth open.

"Ahh! I can't wait! We're getting married ahhhhh!" She gasped. She couldn't believe her luck!
