"Maybe she's not?" Tom said hopefully.

"Oh come on Tom!" Haz said angrily. "You were mean, then so sweet, then ya left her! She hates you!" Tom's face looked as if he lost the little hope he had.

"I'm surprised she hasn't quit yet." Haz went on, "It might be better for you if she quit. You wouldn't be so distracted and stressed. I mean think of your Dad man. What is he gonna think of you when he finds out you've been distracted by some girl, and is making your business not as successful?"

"Yeah..."

"Screw her man! You might as well fire her!" Tom sat up and looked shocked and offended.

"Woah. Harrison. Y/n doesn't deserve to be fired, whether she's a distraction because she's gorgeous or not. She works hard even though I made her work papers so much worse than everyone else's for a while there. If I want my business to be as successful as it was before I would give her a promotion! And ya know what I might just do that!" Tom was now standing up again.

"Ok sorry." Haz mumbled, nervously.

"Harrison thanks for be truthful with me but don't try to punish Y/n."

"I won't again and you can call me Haz."

"Okay, thank you, but goodbye." Tom turned around and looked at the city.
Haz just sat there shocked. But then he relaized that he didn't want to make Tom mad so he quickly left.

"Does he actually love her?" Haz said to himself worried.

"Do I actually love her?" Tom asked himself confused.

"If you love someone you should go to them." Tom spun around quickly to see his server cleaning dishes.

"Oh stop cleaning Violet, I can do that." He jogged over to her and helped.
(Violet was middle-aged but probably the nicest woman on the Planet)

"You love someone, no?"

"It's nothing."

"Go. She's waiting." Tom looked at the door, but then kept cleaning.

"No. SHE hates me." He chuckled to cover his saddness.

"OH MY GOODNESS! Go Tell her the truth! I'll clean." She yelled and took a rag and spanked his butt with it.
(At least he thought she was the nicest person in the Planet) Shocked Tom leaped towards the door.

"Don't be dumb, go!" She spanked him again. Tom ran out the door to one of his cars.

"What am I doing? She can't make me do anything." He got out of the car and slammed the door- but then he got back in.

-

You collasped on your bed and sunk into it. Maybe you should ask to be moved to a different building. You knew that you wouldn't be able to handle seeing Tom tomorrow at work.

"Ughh." You slid off your bed so you were on your knees, and scrolled through instagram for a bit. Then you decided to shower so you started to get your clothes when you heard a knock at your door. You went to it but didn't open it. They knocked again.

"Y/n!" That voice was way too familiar. Why was Tom here again?

"Y/n I know you're here. I saw your car." He yelled. "I'm not leaving until you open the door!"

"I took a taxi." You said annoyed. Tom smiled while looking at the bottom crack of your door, but you didn't see it.

"Go away Y/n is not here!" You yelled.

"Dang it. Well if she were here I would tell her that I know I'm a jerk. I shouldn't have ignored her at work, and I shouldn't have told her that I didn't want to date her again. Because I do." You didn't say anything, but you smiled to yourself.

"I would probably also tell her that, I know she probably hates me and I know that this is weird but I think she's amazing and that I feel something for her. And maybe she feels something for me."

You opened the door and Tom quickly looked up at you, and then saw his clothes in your hands. You took them and shoved them onto his chest so he wrapped his arm around them.

"I don't hate you Tom. I just don't know if I could handle you."

"Could you try?"

"Maybe." You stood there awkwardly, you knew if you let him in you would regret it, and you also knew that if you let him go you would regret it.
Maybe Tom wasn't the one and you should ask Haz what he thought of the kiss earlier.

"Listen Y/n." Tom said with fear in his voice, you could tell he was uncomfortable with whatever he was about to say, "I am really confused because I have neve-"

"You don't have to tell me."

"What?"

"If you feel uncomfortable telling me just don't tell me it's okay." He smiled, and he looked at you, for probably to long. You coughed, and Tom realized he was looking and blushed. You brushed your hair behind your ear and looked down.

"D- do you want to come inside?"

Tom bit his lip thinking. "Yeah. Yeah I really do." He laughed. You stepped aside to let him in. When he got inside you awkwardly closed the door so your back was faced towards it. He smiled at you not knowing what to say, he wanted to kissyou so badly.
You cleared your throat and went to your TV room.

"I'm going to shower real quick, you watch whatever you want." You threw him the remote and he barley caught it. You grabbed your already set pajamas which were, small booty shorts, and a long sleeved shirt that didn't fit you.

"Uh- ok." He said nervously and sat on your couch.

"Don't touch anything." You left to your bathroom, and looked in the mirror.

"What are you doing?" You asked quietly to yourself. You took some freezing water and splashed your face. Then wiped your eyes quickly so the water didn't slide into them.
You undressed and got in the shower. You made it really hot so you could see the steam rising to your ceiling. You took a deep breath of the steam and felt it in your lungs.
You ran your shampoo through your hair when you heard someone came inside the room, and felt a breeze of cold air. You held your breath so the only sound was the water.

"Tom?" You said slowly.

"Y/n I know you don't want me here and I will respect you so just know that I am going to leave. But before I do I just wanted to tell you that, I am not used to having real feelings for someone, so having feelings for you so quickly is weird. The last time I had a real relationship it didn't end well and I told myself I would never do it again, so- so I was scared. I'm sorry." He started to leave.

"Tom!"

"Yeah?" He said weakly.

"C-can you hand me a towel?"

"Sure?" He grabbed one and handed it over the top of the shower. You wrapped it around your body and walked out of the shower.

"Don't go." You said quietly, "it's going to be ok, we'll talk." He waited outside and you quickly got dressed. He was in the TV room, you sat by him.

"I'm not going to ask you to tell me about your last relationship because I knew that must be hard, so just tell me what you want us to be."

"I-i don't know. I'm just so confused I seriously don't have anything to say except for what I already said."
