What Would They Say - mob!Tom x Reader

Fourteen

"Where are you heading off to, Princess?" Tom asks as he comes into the hall, seeing me pulling on my jacket.

"Harrison said I could take Tess on a walk?" I say shyly, allowing myself to be wrapped up in his arms for a hug.

"Where to?" He asks, kissing the top of my head.

"Just around the grounds, I was going to see if Paddy wanted to come as well,"

"That's a good idea," Tom agrees, squeezing me tighter for a couple of seconds before releasing me. "But don't leave the grounds okay?" I nod, not feeling the need to tell him that I wouldn't have done that anyway, that I would have been to scared to.

"Paddy!" I call up the stairs and I can feel Tom's eyes on me, smiling quietly at my back.

"What?" Comes the response.

"You want to come for a walk?" I ask. I hear his footsteps bounding towards me down the stairs before I hear him calling a 'yes'.

"I have business to attend to later, so I may not be here when you get back," Tom tells me and I nod, turning around to kiss his lips.

"We won't be out for long," and Tom nods, kissing me once more.

"Text me when you get back so I know you're safe," he orders and I nod, leaning up to kiss him for a final time but we're interrupted by Paddy's entrance.

"Do you mind?" He asks and Tom rolls his eyes.

"I preferred you when you were a baby and couldn't speak," he deadpans and I laugh, untangling myself from Tom's arms and calling for Tessa, who is quick to scamper her way across the wooden floor and into my waiting arms.

"I'll see you in a few hours," I say to Tom after I clip on Tessa's lead and I steer Paddy out of the house.

"You and Tom are pretty serious," Paddy mentions to me as we walk deep into the far end of Tom's land. He owned a mansion, so it was fair to say that the Gardens and woods that surrounded it all belonged to him and were all stunningly beautiful.

"I mean... yeah," I laugh and Paddy grins at me, throwing another stick for Tessa.

"Mum and Dad like you to, they're worried you'll break up with him sometime,"

"I think that they need to worry more about Tom breaking up with me," I tell Paddy who shrugs.

"That's good then, because that way we know that it's not going to happen," the certainty in Paddy's voice makes me blush. "Mum wants him to propose, too," Paddy mentions and I laugh, shaking my head.

"We've not been together nearly long enough for that I'm afraid, Pads," Paddy just shrugs, throwing the stick another time for Tessa. "How's school anyway?" I ask, wanting to change the subject from mine and Tom's relationship. I was too young to get married, as well as it being too soon in our relationship, I found myself desperately hoping that Tom would not ask me to marry him anytime soon.

"It's alright, boring though," he sighs and I smile affectionately at him.

"You just haven't gotten to the interesting bits then, obviously," Paddy rolls his eyes at that.

"That's because there aren't any interesting bits," he groans and I sling my arm around his shoulder, bringing him in for a quick side hug. "Wait, what was that?" He asks, moving out of my arm and looking suddenly attentive as his head swings around, looking for a source of a noise that I had not heard.

"What?"

"Listen!" He hushes me and I roll my eyes a little but obediently fall silent at his wishes. I hear it too, then, a little bark.
