I'm Not Broken - TH

•39•

The past few weeks have been some of the best weeks of my life. Tom and I have gone everywhere together. Movies, dinner, even little road trips here and there. With the worry of my dad being gone, I have been able to relax in a way I never have before. This life is a good one, and I've fallen even deeper in love with Tom, which feels almost impossible, but I have.
"I win!" I say happily, setting my cards down.
"What? How!" Haz exclaims and I laugh.
"Tom taught me well." I smile.
I look over to the sofa where the twins and Aaron sit, playing video games together. I'm proud of myself for bringing them together, they're practically best friends now.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me." Tom groans from the table across the room. I look over, seeing Ben accidentally spilled coffee over the file they're looking at, and Tom is pissed.
"You clumsy idiot-"
"Thomas." I say, catching his attention. "Be nice to Ben."
"Yeah, be nice to me." Ben says and I can see that ignite the rage in Toms eyes, but it goes away as I walk over, kissing his cheek.
"Fix this." He says to Ben, and stands up to grab my hand and pull me out of the room.
He pushes me gently against the wall, his face extremely close to mine.
"See what you've done darling? You've made me go soft." He hums.
"You've always been soft." I say and he smiles.
"Only with you." He mumbles, and kisses my lips slowly and deeply.
I wrap my arms around his neck, keeping him close after pulling from the kiss.
"I've got something for you." He grins.
"I know I can feel it." I giggle, feeling his growing bulge against me.
"Not that, that's gonna have to wait." He says, pulling from my arms and my brows scrunch together in confusion.
"Tom Holland not instantly jumping into bed with me? Who are you and what have you done with my boyfriend?" I say and he rolls his eyes.
"Don't sexualize me." He teases, and kisses me one more time before grabbing my hands and taking me out the front door.
"So where exactly is this surprise?" I ask.
"You'll see." He says happily, opening the car door for me.
I get in, and we pull out of the gate and down to the main road. I'm really not dressed for anything fancy, so I hope it's not that kind of surprise. We drive to neighborhood that's about twenty minuets away, it's really nice here. Big homes line the streets, and there are families everywhere. This is really close to his mum and dads house too.
He turns the car into the driveway of a very large white and blue house. It has a big front yard with a beautiful tree and flowers. The windows are huge as well. It's a gorgeous home.
"Cmon." He says, getting out of the car.
I follow behind him as we walk up the stone walkway to the front door, and he stops, turning to me. He gives me a silly, excitable grin, and holds his hands out, displaying the home.
"Welcome to our new home Chloe." He says happily.
"What?" I ask. "Wait.. ours?"
He pulls the key out of his pocket, and holds it out to me.
"Just bought it yesterday." He says with excitement.
"Oh my god- wait what about the mob?" I ask.
He grabs me by my waist, pulling me close to him.
"I appointed Haz to take my place as boss, and I'll be taking his place as underboss. I'll only have to go there four days a week."
I'm in complete shock, I'm absolutely speechless. Did he seriously just give up his job? For me? While that is probably the most romantic thing he could have ever done, how could he possibly give up the one thing he loves most in this world?! That job means everything to him!
"Tom.. you didn't have to do that. I can't let you do that." I shake my head. "You love being the boss."
"Sweetheart, I love being with you much more."
I feel my heart flutter at his words, everything about him is just perfect. If I didn't realize how much he truly loves me before, I do now. I wrap my arms around him, hugging him tightly.
"I love you."
We walk inside, and I instantly fall in love with the space. It has everything I want in a home. An open floor plan, high ceilings, wood floors. It's gorgeous.
"I'm thinking we get a little bookshelf to put next to the window seat, so we can sit up there in the evenings and read to our kids." Tom says and my heart absolutely melts.
"You want to read to our kids?" I ask happily.
"Of course, they're going to know the firearm handbook by the time they're five." He teases and I hit his arm playfully.
"Hah you're so funny." I say sarcastically.
He leads me to the kitchen, and I practically scream when I see it's beauty. Everything is white, just how it is at his place. Off to the side of the kitchen is the dining room, and a door that leads to an outdoor patio.
I walk over, looking out at the back yard. It's giant, and it has fruit trees planted along the border.
"They're apple trees. I figured we could go out every year and pick the apples and make apple pie." He smiles.
I lean back against him, feeing his arms wrap around the front of me. I can just see it- summer nights with everyone over for dinner on the patio. Our kids can run around the yard playing nerf guns with Haz, Tom and I could be a real, normal family.
Next he leads me upstairs. It's a long spacious hallway, that has four doors on each side.
"Five bedrooms, three of them with connected bathrooms, and the part I know you'll love the most." He laughs, getting to one of the doors and opening it.
"Oh my god!" I exclaim excitedly.
I walk into the room, seeing the movie theater style chairs all lined down the room, and a giant screen on the wall. I've always dreamed of a home theater!
"I figured since you love movies so much, it was only fitting." He says.
"You are the best boyfriend ever!" I squeal, squeezing him tightly.
This truly is my dream house. I can see us living here for a very long time, adopting kids, watching them grow up, having friends and family over. Holidays will bring everyone here and I'll make Ben and Rubin decorate cookies with me. Tom can put up the Christmas lights while The kids and I decorate the tree. I can already envision how it will look when everything is set up. I can see our lives from this day on, and it's beautiful.
