I Got You: Tom's P.O.V ... Like This Forever

Tom’s P.O.V

Recap:

“I’m going to go now,” Hope muttered before walking to my bedroom door. I heard her try the doorknob to no avail.

I sighed, very audibly. “Please ... until we talk, please stay here...” I pleaded.

“Is that a request or are you telling me that’s my only option?”

I looked down. I knew she was right. I was telling her what to do. “I want to let you go, no question about it, but Hope, you have no idea how badly my insides are hurting knowing you don’t want to be with me ... It’s like a weight you can’t imagine pressing down on my heart until it’s heavy in my gut.”

She looked at me with some compassion and was that a hint of guilt? Her image blurred as I began to form tears.

“Please ... Please hear me out Hope ... I love you ... and all I want right now is for you to hear me out ... I want to have you my side ... If you let me talk to you, explain it all, and you still want nothing to do with me, I’ll let you leave. I’ll give you the key, and you can walk out and never see my face again.”

“Okay... “She replied almost reluctantly. “I’ll listen... but if I want to leave, you swear you’ll hand over the key?”

I wiped my eyes. “Scout’s honor.”

End of Recap:

“Scout’s honor? Something tells me you weren’t a scout,” Hope said with a smile. A chuckle escaped my lips as Hope walked over and sat down on my bed. She moved to the middle of the mattress, her eyes bore into me. “I’m sorry,” she muttered.

“What?” My eyes felt like they were going to bulge out as she said those two words.

“Don’t make me repeat it,” she said in a low but audible voice. “I said I was sorry ...”

“What are you sorry for?” I questioned.

Hope was silent for a good minute before she answered me, “See my mom all my life has pressured me over and over again. On the phone was no exception, I had images and worries of what my mom would do because you hung up the phone-” I had to cut her off.

“I only did it because she was making you cry.”

“Thank you for looking out for me like that, and I think I understand why you did it. I am sorry and thank you,” in a quick movement Hope was at the edge of the bed, inches from me.

“I am glad you understand,” I stated, moving a piece of her hair that was in the front of her face. She blushed before moving even closer to me.

Time for me stood still as she leaned over and kissed me. Her hot lips felt so good as they collided with mine. My hands moved to her head and held her face to mine. I moved my tongue and danced across her bottom lip. In a fast movement she and I deepened the kiss.

Hope released a moan that made my body want every inch of her. I moved my hands to the hem of her shirt and then to her back. My thumb started to make circles in her lower back and as I did so Hope giggled and tried to wiggle out of my grip. I moved my head away from hers and gave her a questioning look.

She bit the bottom of her lip, making me crave more of her kisses. “I-I’m ticklish,” she mumbled. And evil grin found my face. “Oh no!” She shouted as she really tried to get away from me, but I held onto her. Soon Hope became tired of fighting me and just looked at me. “Tom, don’t do it,” she pleaded, but it was too late, I began to tickle her.

Hope kept rolling over and giggling as my finger tip crossed her delicate skin. I just chuckled at how ticklish she was. Her laugh was piercing my ears and bringing a bright smile on my face.

Admittedly I was so worried about having her here without her permission. I mean I just knew that it wasn’t a good idea going along with the kidnapping, but I wanted this. Hope laughing with me and us just having a great time because ... I really did love her.

Soon I stopped my attack on her and we were lying side by side on the bed.

“Hope, you never told me ... What is the issue your mom is having about us being together?” I asked her as my head turned to get a better view of her next to me. Hope’s green eyes landed on me and she shifted till she was on her side and facing me.

“She is worried we will be a recreation of her and my dad when they were our age,” she said, but I was slightly confused.

“What do you mean?” I quizzed.

“Well, my mom and dad fell in love in high school and before graduation my mom found out she was pregnant with me. My mother dropped everything to be a mom and she wasn’t able to fulfill her dreams. I think she is just scared that I will make the same mistake.”

“Basically she is worried you will have sex and get knocked up,” a bright red blush found Hope’s face.

“Yeah, basically.”

“Well, let’s prevent a recreation of the situation with your mom and dad ... We won’t even think about doing anything till after graduation.” I spoke.

“Wise idea,” she told me and then dipped down giving me a kiss.

We broke apart, “keep kissing me like that and I might have a change of mind on waiting.” Hope just smiled and then laid her head on my chest. I smirked think I could stay like this forever.
