HAPPINESS - tobi brown

chapter 10

taytum

my stomach bursted with butterflies as soon as our lips connected. his lips were so soft and so mesmerising. it was magical.

yes i've been developing feelings for tobi and he's been nothing but kind towards me. i never would have thought that kissing him would feel like this.

i had suspicions that tobi liked me but not this much. i was filled with happiness now knowing he felt the same for me.

once we run out of air we both pulled apart. we both smiled at eachother. i could feel his happiness radiating off him now that he knows i feel the same way.

"i really like you taytum." he says barely above a whisper.

my smile grew, if that was even possible. i must look like the cheshire cat.

"i really like you too tobi." his expression mirrored mine.

he then pulls me into an embrace. one of his arms around me waist and one of his hands pulling my head into his chest. my arms immediately wrap around his strong torso.

"taytum?" tobi asks me in a quiet tone not wanting to disrupt the peaceful atmosphere. "yeah?" i ask looking up at him from my spot on his chest.

"how would you feel if we took this slow and go day by day."

i smile at him. i've only known tobi for a little while but long enough for me to know that i like him and trust him. i've also grown very comfortable in his presence.

i wouldn't mind taking it slow, i didn't want to rush incase it would ruin what we have now.

"i wouldn't mind that, no point in rushing."

this made him smile. i could tell he was thinking the same thing.

"see you later tobes." i say about to jump out of the car. he makes a sound of disapproval causing me to look at him confused.

he then points to his lips indicating he wants one last kiss. i giggle at him and give him a quick peck. he didn't like how quick it was as he pulled me in for another longer one.

he then licks my bottom lip for an entrance. i open my mouth allowing his tongue to dominate. i don't know how long it was until we pulled away. breathless once again.

i'll never get used to him kissing me.

"see you later tay, make sure to text me."

i smile. "okay tobes bye!" i shout closing the door and making my way into the house.

i noticed that tobi only drove away once he knew i was safe inside. cute. if only he knew i wasn't safe in this house. i would never tell him though.

i made a huge mistake today. i let out that my birthday was next week. i regretted instantly and started ranting about my hate for birthdays. i didn't want him to plan anything but i wouldn't say anything about it if he did. he doesn't know that my mother died giving birth to me. i don't know if i'd ever tell him that she did. i wonder if he'll think of me differently.

probably not. tobi isn't one to do that. but the worry still laid at the back of my mind.

another reason i didn't want tobi knowing is because of my birthday beatings. every year they get worse and i couldn't help but think what state is end up in this year. i was bad enough last year having eilise cover all my shifts for a week and having to take a break from uni.
