"I don't want you to go." you pouted as you had your arms all wrapped around him, not wanting to let go.

It was now a few days after the concert and Tom was forced to go back to London for some meetings since he was starting to shoot for his new movie named Uncharted very soon.

"I don't wanna go either but I have too. We'll see each other again soon." he said, softly stroking your head with his hand.

"Fly safe, yeah?" you finally said after giving him one last tight squeeze.

"Yeah." he looked down at you while pushing some hairs out of your face then resting his hand on your cheek.

He slowly leaned until your lips finally met.

"I love you." he whispered and softly pecked your lips one more time.

"I love you, too." you said quietly.

You finally pulled away and watched him go. He turned one more time and gave you a smile before getting out of view.

You smiled to yourself as you turned around and started making your way back to the hotel.

Tom arrived in London at sometime in the afternoon. His first thought when he landed was you so he sent you a quick text, telling you he had arrived.

He went home, took a shower first and then decided to rest a bit before it was time to go over to his family's house. Nikki had made dinner especially for him.

At around half past six he got in his car and started driving. When he finally got there he knocked at the door and was greeted by his youngest brother, Paddy.

"Hey, Buddy." he smiled and ruffled the small guys' hair, earning a small scold from him at which he just laughed.

He greeted the rest of his family. Sam and Harry and then both of his parents. Who he didn't expect to meet was-

"Emily." he said rather surprised.

"Hi." she smiled and waved.

"I didn't know you were still here."

"Yeah, today's my last day here. I'm leaving tomorrow." she said.

"Dinner's ready!" Nikki said from the kitchen and at that they both immediately started going to the dining table.

They all had a great dinner together. Everyone asking how you were doing and how recording was going.

After dinner, everyone except for Dom and Nikki was just chilling in the living room. Some doing whatever on their phones and some watching whatever was on the tv.

"Tom?"

As he heard his name being called his head snapped up from his phone.

"Hm?" he hummed and looked at Emily, who was the one who had just called him.

"I got Y/n a gift but I'm not so sure about it so I was wondering if I could show you and you could tell me what you think about it?" she asked, sweetly.

"Yeah, sure." he nodded.

"Um, It's in my room upstairs so... just follow me." she stood up and Tom did as she said without thinking much of it.

She let him go in first and after she had entered too, she closed the door behind her.

"So...where's the gift?" he asked after a moment of just standing there.

"Truth is..." she paused, "there is no gift." she confessed, her smile gone.

"Then why am I here?"
