By my Side ~ Tom Felton fanfic

Chapter 19: First Date with Him

Tom smiled, which Alex returned. 'Right.' Tom said, straightening up and looking at me. 'Let's go.'

'Have fun, both of you.' Jackie beamed. 'And do you want me to take that up for you?'

'Thanks Jackie.' We smiled back.

'And yes please.'

'Gotcha.'

'I'll see you later.' I said and we walked out into the corridor. I took my coat that hung from the hooks near the door and as we were about to go out of the house, Em shouted, 'Have fun!'

'Thanks! You too!' I shouted back.

It was freezing outside, but I would much rather the cold than the heat.

'Where are we going tonight?' I asked from curiosity.

'Well, I was thinking of going back to my apartment first.' He said, driving away from the house. 'Then we can go out to the city.'

'Sounds good.'

As we headed to his apartment, I could see him glancing at the paper bag I had holding carefully on my lap. I laughed softly when I turned around to him and he quickly looked away. 'Curious?'

'Yeah...' He said, laughing weakly.

I kissed him on the cheek softly. 'Won't be too long, will it?'

'Nah.' His lips twitched. 'Should be there in five or ten minutes.'

'Cool.'

His flat stood right next to a lake thing. Like right next to it and his room was on the top floor.

'It's small but...' He said, unlocking the door and opening it. I stepped in after him and looked around. The room was warm and had two rooms. The kitchen and the living was in one and there was a door, which I assumed lead to the bedroom and bathroom somewhere. It looked so comfortable and it was quite big considering it's a 1LDK (well that's what I think any way).

'It's really nice.' I said, walking towards the balcony and looking around at the same time. 'I like it.' I could faintly see the London Eye and Big Ben in the distance. There were nice shops and cafes nearby too.

'That's good.' Tom chucked his keys in a small box that was placed at the edge of the kitchen counter, against the wall. Then, as though he couldn't wait for any longer, he simply said, 'Sooo....' Eyeing the gift and chocolates.

I laughed and sat down on the couch followed by him straight away, wrapping an arm around me.

'Well, happy Valentine's Day.' I said smiling and handing him the bag, kissing his cheek.

He kissed me back. 'Thank you.' Then, he looked down into the bag. 'Mmm...' His voice made my heart beat quicken slightly. 'That's the chocolate, right?'

I nodded as he opened the box and his face lit up instantly. 'You know me too well.'

'Of course I do.'

Then I saw him glance at me, to the chocolates and back at me. Slowly, I picked up one of the chocolates and took it to his mouth, plopping the whole thing at once. He was smirking slightly.

'Mmm! It's good!' He said in a half muffled voice. 'Wait... Did you make these?'

'Yep.'

'Jeez, I feel even more luckier. These are better than the ones I've had.'

'Oh stop it, Tom.' I felt myself blush.

'It true! Seriously.'

I bit my lip, smiling. 'Thanks.'
