Run

Part 20

Our Hawaii holiday went by pretty fast and as much as I loved it I couldn't help but dread the consequences of my return home. I had to speak to tom about it as I was really lost on what to do. We were driving in the car we rented feeling the wind rush through our hair. I had my hand wrapped inside his smile was the brightest I'd ever seen it be. His skin was glowing as the rays of the Hawaiian sun shined bright on us. Occasionally he'd glance at me with his contagious smile making me blush. I hated to ruin a good moment but I had to speak to him, I couldn't hold it in any longer.
'Tom?'
'Yes love'
'What am I supposed to do when we get home' he furrowed his eyebrows and concern took over his face. 'I'll be out of money before I know it and what am I supposed to do then, I can't expect you to keep paying for everything and you need to get home to your family. I can't stay with you or I'll be putting you and your family at risk and I can't do that'
'You can, you can stay in my apartment secretively and I will never leave your side, unless I absolutely have to.' Tom said confidently.
'Tom, I have to take this to court'
'What?'
'Tyrone won't stop following me until he literally can't and by that, I mean until he's behind bars'
'Can't you just get a restraining order' tom said desperately.
'That's not enough'
'But y/n, you know what this means-'
'Yes I know, I've been thinking about it a lot and it's the only way. Sure out here is lovely and we are far away from him but it won't be like that forever' I said in sadness. Tom couldn't help but think of the possible outcome that I could end up in prison. He was smart enough to know it was a possibility but he wasn't strong enough to let it happen.
'Ok, if you're one hundred percent sure' he sighed.
'I am'
'Just promise me you'll try and convince them you stole his money for good reason?' I laughed.
'I will.'
We sat and stared at each other for a moment, admiring our close up featured, Tom's being his freckles and his little crooked nose.
'Well come on, we haven't got much longer here so let's make the most of it' tom said turning up the radio and being to rap.
'Sit down, be humble. Bitch sit down' he mumbled.
'Be humble' I said after him and he smiled at me. The drive back to the hotel was peaceful and we ended up spending the last few nights in the hotels private nightclub. We spent the days roaming the island and venturing to all its waterfalls, beaches and towns. It was truly beautiful. Our phones were crammed with memories of our beautiful get away, my favourite being a video of tom trying to grab a coconut from a palm tree above. Tom's favourite was a video of me falling over in the sea, he constantly claims that I'll never live that down.
Before we knew it we were heading to the airport, hiding our faces and failing to leave the island unnoticed. We reached our seats on the airplane and put the arm rest up so I could snuggle up to tom.
'Let me just walk out the dual headphone adapter' to said enthusiastically.
'Was that a far from home reference?' I giggled.
'Maybe' he smiled and plugged it in. 'So are we going to have another argument about what we're going to watch?'
'Erm, yes' I smiled. 'So you don't want to watch an animated movie because it'll make you cry? Right?' I smirked.
'Shut.up' Tom remarked.
'Fine fine, I'm only teasing. So I guess we can watch...oooo is that shazam'
'A dc movie? Really?'
'Ok ok, what about alita'
'Oh yeah that look- hold on, you're just gonna blush over that guy the whole time'
'What the handsome one that rides his weird motorbike and plays that ball game worth his beautiful hair?' Tom raised his eyebrow. 'Yes, yes I am.' I put the movie in before tom could say otherwise and wrapped his arm around me, prepared for the long flight back to where u really really didn't want to be. Home.
