eighteen; "can I kiss you?"

➿

Bianca was nervous as hell. She could feel how fast her heart was beating and she was sure that it would jump out of her chest.

Ever since Tom had texted her asking her out to dinner, she had been all over the place. From going through all her closet trying to find something decent to wear.

After nearly two hours of going through her closet, she managed to find a black dress. Hurrying, she quickly showered before she changed into the dress and paired with black heels.

As she was doing her makeup, Bianca could see her nerves showing as her hands wouldn't stop shaking. It was driving her insane on how nervous she was.

She knew that there was really no reason to get nervous, after all she has hung out with him mutiple times now. But she couldn’t help but think that this would be different. That tonight would change something between them.

When she heard the loud noise of someone knocking, her nerves went haywire. Taking a deep breath, Bianca gave herself one last glance in the mirror before walked downstairs and held her small purse in her hand before she opened the door.

A smile formed on her lips as Tom stood outside her door with a small bouquet of roses in his hand. She felt her cheeks reddened as he handed the roses to her, “I bought them on my way home from work, thought it’d be something you liked”.

She gave him a smile before she walked back into her house and placed them in a vase with water. Once she had done that, she walked outside and locked her door before looking at him, “Well whenever you’re ready”.

Tom handed his hand to her as he led her towards his car. Helping her get into his car, Bianca was quick to put on her seatbelt while she waited for him. Once he had started the car, Tom gave her a glance before he pulled out of his driveway.

About ten minutes later, Tom pulled into the parking lot of a restaurant making Bianca glance over to him. She knew that this was one of the most fanciest restaurants in the area and she also knew it was quite expensive.

With the help of Tom, Bianca stepped out of the car and held onto his arm as they made their way inside. Bianca couldn’t help herself as she let her eyes wandered around until they landed on a young man.

“Reception for Tom”.

The young man looked down at his computer before he glanced up to them with a smile, “Follow me please”.

Walking over to a table for two, Bianca took a seat while Tom sat across from her. She gave the waiter a smile as he placed down the menus in front of them before he left.

Bianca looked over to see Tom nervously playing with his hands, “You didn’t have to do this Tom, I would have been fine with a pizzeria”.

“Yeah, well you deserve the best Bianca”.

************************************

“So tell me, how was New York?”

Bianca took a sip of her drink before she placed it down, “It was really a lovely experience. Juilliard was such an amazing school, I got to learn so much. The first year was kind of hard because I really didn’t know anyone but once I met Jon and Lilliana it all got easier”.

Tom gave her a nod as he swallowed his food, “It wasn’t anything like home?”.

“God no, as much as I enjoyed it there was not a day where I didn’t wish to be back home with my father. But that’s enough about me, what about you? What did you while I was gone?”.

Bianca kept on eating her food while she paid attention to Tom, "Well I really didn't do much expect you know focus on school and work. But I did stay in touch with Has and became friends with Jake. So I would mostly hang out with them and all".

Tom kept on telling Bianca what he had done, which really wasn't much but mostly focus on his education.

After they had finished eating, Tom paid for the food and they both stood up ready to leave. Bianca gave the waiter a small smile before she followed Tom.

Without thinking much about it, she intertwined her hand with his as they walked out of the restaurant and towards his car.

Bianca got into the passenger seat while she waited for Tom. Once he had turned on the car and put on his seatblet, Tom reached over to grab Bianca's hand in his.

The drive back home was filled with a comfortable silence. Tom had his hand intertwined with Bianca’s while the other one was on the steering wheel. Bianca was sitting down in the passenger seat with her head facing the window.

Her gaze was stuck on the scenery outside. The sun was almost done setting meaning the stars and moon were making an appearance. She had a smile on her face as she held onto Tom’s hand.

Since they left the restaurant, she hadn’t let go of his hand and she never wanted to. Being with Tom brought so much peace to her. It was like whenever she was with him, she was on an ever ending happiness.

Bianca’s attention was brought back when Tom pulled into his driveway and slowly let go of her hand. Unbuckling her seatbelt, Bianca grabbed her small purse, opening her car door before she stepped out.

Her gaze landed on Tom who walked over to her and grabbed her hand before he began to walk her next door. Bianca held his hand as she made sure to slow there steps, she didn’t want the night to end.

“I had a lovely evening Tom, thank you for today”.

Tom stopped in front of her door and reached for her other hand. There was a nervous look on his face as he held both of her hands, “Well thank you for agreeing to come. I thought you might have said no to this date and I would have made myself look like a fool”.

Bianca felt a blush creep up to her cheeks as she smiled, “This was a date?”.

“I..well yes..if that’s what you want it to be”.

She gave him a nod making him let out a sigh of relief. Tom gave her hand a squeeze before he slowly took a small step towards her. Bianca felt her heartbeat fasten at how close he was.

Her eyes remained on his as he kept on looking at her, “Bianca...can I kiss you?”.

Bianca gave him a small nod. Tom slowly let go of her hands to cup her face. He leaned down and gently placed his lips on her, almost as if he was giving her the option to back out.

But when Bianca leaned up to kiss him back, Tom couldn’t help but smile as he deepened the kiss. Their lips moved in sync like to lost souls were brought back together. This was it, this is what Bianca wanted.

As they slowly pulled away from each other, Bianca couldn’t help herself as she softly chuckled, “Goodnight Tom”.

Tom gave her another quick kiss before he pulled away, “Goodnight Bianca”.
