"We should get going" Tom said. You had just finished your food. You looked at Stu who looked annoyed.

"Y/n, remember we still have to talk about what songs we should play for the dance." Stu said.

"Oh yeah, tomorrow is that fine?" You said. Tom squeezed your hand and you looked at him. He started walking and you followed him. Waving goodbye to Stu.

"Maybe we can get our icecream and then walk to that record store." Tom said.

"Yeah I would like that" you said holding your bag. Tom grabbed your bag and held it for you.

"I can carry that" you said.

"It's fine. It's not even heavy. So is he that friend you are spending your time with?" Tom asked.

"Um, yeah. He's the only friend I have. Why?" You said.

"He seems friendly. But I'm scared he's a bad influence on you" Tom said.

"He's not, he's nice." You said.

"Well, I don't know something about him is just not right." Tom said.

"Don't say that he's my friend. He's the only one who has been nice to me in this school." You said.

Tom sighed. He looked at you and placed a hand on your cheek. He kissed your forehead and whispered slightly.

"I love you, you know that?" He said.

"I do" you said.

But do I love you?

You couldn't help but think about Stu. You felt bad for leaving him. You two were supposed to talk about what songs you two would play. And you left him.

Tom smiled and kissed your cheek and you two walked to the ice cream shop. You sat at one of the booths and Tom looked at you.

"What do you want love?" Tom said looking at the menu.

"Oh just a vanilla Sunday" you said.

Tom nodded and walked up to the cashier. Everything felt awkward around him. You felt nervous around him. Unlike Stu where you felt comfortable and like you could talk about anything. You didn't know what to do to make you feel more comfortable around tom. Things weren't like this before.

"Well tell me about here. What's it like here? Do you miss things back home?" Tom said.

"I do, but I like it here. Things are smaller. Plus they have a record store. And well a small theater. It's cozy you know?" You said.

"So, teachers don't come to check up on you and your friend?" Tom said.

"What do you mean? They don't." You said.

"Well he's a guy alone with a girl. And he seems kinda mean no? His dyed hair he's super tall. You know." Tom said looking out the window.

You sighed "you're not a good looking boy either tom. Emo hair and a lip ring" you said.

Tom rolled his eyes and gave you that "sure" look.

"He didn't dye his hair. He fell down a tree and his brown hair fell out and replaced with blue hair" you said remembering his story.

"He told you that?" Tom said a eyebrow raised.

"Um, yeah. He's a nice guy. It would mean a lot to me if you got alone with him" you said looking at him.

"Okay, but I don't like the fact of my fiance being alone with guy" Tom said.

You heard a glass tap the table and someone came to bring your sundae. You put it in the middle between you two.

"He's not that type of guy. He's nice and respectful" you said taking a spoonful.

"He could be the pope. And I still won't feel okay about it." Tom said chuckling.

"He's a nice a guy." You said again taking a spoonful of icecream.

"Okay, well I guess it doesn't matter. We are gonna get married right?" Tom said smiling back at you.

"Yeah, tom when did you start loving me?" You asked looking up at him watching his reaction.

"When we were told we are going be promised to one another. The minute I became your finance I felt deep feelings for you" tom said taking a spoonful of icecream.

"So if we weren't promised to one another would you love me?" You asked.

"Yeah I think so." Tom said.

Think so?

You forced a smile. And Tom kissed your hand. You looked away and felt a blush. You sighed and couldn't stop thinking about what Stu said.

Am I really marrying someone I don't love?

Is Stu even someone I love? Or the idea of having someone else interested in me makes me excited.

It's not like I know the difference between infatuation and actually love. I've always thought that tom was my special someone.

"Let's get going to that record store. I'll buy you some vinyls you would like that no?" Tom said.

I can't give up on tom..

You smiled and clung close to tom. He chuckled and you nodded your head quickly.

"Excited now are we?" He chuckled.

"Yeah you know I love records. Plus maybe we can find some Beatles ones." You smiled brightly.

"Oh you're still into the Beatles huh? That hasn't changed" tom said opening the door for you and starting to walk down the sidewalk.

The day had gone away and the sky was a mix of red and pink. With the sky blue slowly fading. You couldn't help but find it pretty.

"Well you know me. Paul mccartney will forever be my lover" you swooned.

"So I can never beat him huh?" Tom chuckled.

"Nope you're close." You teased.

"And how about me?" You heard someone say.

You turned and saw Stu behind you guys. You jumped.

"Stu. I didn't see you around" you said nervously. Tom stood by you and held your hand.

"Well I'm going to the record store. Remember I mentioned about getting a job." Stu said.

"Oh yeah, well we are about to head there. You wanna come along?" You said.

" I would love to luv, how was the icecream shop?" Stu asked.

"You know it was good. Best icecream I've ever had." You smiled.

"Tom, y/n talks about you. It's nice to see you more. And see her around her more since she is always with me. " Stu says looking at tom.

"It's nice to know more about the friend my fiance has been spending her time with" tom said. Putting a more emotion into the fiance part. You kinda squeezed toms hand giving him puppy eyes.

"Oh yeah, she's a luvly gal. She's a nice person to spend the whole day with. It's like I lose track of time" Stu says.

You give Stu a look.

You sighed while the walk to the record store you heard the conversation between Stu and Tom.

This is not going to end well.
