One Wild Night

Lucy giggled tipsily as she danced with Tom on the dancefloor, while he just watched her with a smile on his lips, and his hands on her waist. He loved seeing her this carefree and without worries.

"So, Mr. Hanky, do you have a girlfriend?" Lucy asked, trying not to yell because of the loud music.

"Nope. I'm as single as a Pringle," Tom informed her.

"I don't have a boyfriend too. So why don't we single pringles mingle?" Lucy asked, batting her lashes at him seductively, while Tom chuckled at the rhyme she just made.

"Uhm... I don't mingle much. Relationships aren't really my thing. I just want someone to take home with me tonight. It's my first time..." Tom said in a loud whisper, and Lucy laughed out loud, slapping his shoulders playfully.

"Get out of here!"

"Only if you're coming with me," Tom said with a flirty smile as he wrapped his arm around her waist and drew her closer to himself, nuzzling her neck.

Lucy moaned softly since her body was already feeling quite sensitive because of the alcohol. Hearing her moan, Tom decided that it was time to take her home, so he guided her out of the dancefloor to the place where they had been seated to pick her handbag which Sam had been helping them keep an eye on, "We are leaving," Tom informed Sam who glanced at Lucy who had a silly smile on her face and then gave Tom a nod.

Once they got outside, Lucy turned in Tom's arm and kissed his lips passionately, "Thank you," she said in a slightly cracked voice as she broke the kiss and pulled away from him.

"What for?" Tom asked with curiosity as he embraced her so that her head was resting on his chest, while his back was resting on the car.

"For bringing me here and cheering me up," Lucy said with a sigh of contentment as she inhaled his scent.

Placing one hand on her back, Tom raised his other hand to pat her hair gently, "I hope that if things ever get too tough along the line, you will always give me the chance to cheer you up," Tom said as he leaned down and kissed her head.

"I know you probably didn't bargain to end up in a relationship with someone as naive, and insecure, and weak, and as helpless as me," Lucy said, with her head drooped.

Tom paused to think about where this was possibly coming from, and then he placed a finger under her chin and raised her head so that she was looking into his face, "I don't know where this is coming from, Lu, but I know that you didn't bargain to end up getting involved with someone that makes you feel this way aboit yourself either. I bargained to be in a relationship with someone who is beautiful, intelligent, kind-hearted, real, disciplined, and you are all of that and more. There may be ladies out there who you might feel are more beautiful than you are, or more intelligent or more polished, or more classy or whatever you think... I want you to know that it's all just in your head, as they don't stand a chance where you are. Both in my eyes and my heart, it's going to always be you. I'll always choose you over everything and everyone else. And even when you doubt my actions most times like during the meeting the last time, I just need you to always remember that my sole intention will always be to have your back," Tom promised.

"Always?" Lucy asked uncertainly as she looked at him with tears glazed eyes.

"Always, Lu," Tom promised.

"I will always choose you too," Lucy promised, and then she thought about Sonia and silently prayed that the time will never come when she would have to choose between Sonia and Tom. They both were very important to her.

She moved closer to Tom and adjusted until she was standing comfortably in his arms which seemed like they were made for her.

"Lu?" Tom called after a while when he heard a soft snore coming from her. He shook his head when he realized that she had dozed off while standing there in his arms.

Still holding her, he moved away from the car and gently helped her get into the front seat of the car, and then he took off her glasses.

"Tom?" Lucy called sleepily as Tom buckled the seatbelt.

"Yea?"

"You haven't answered my question," Lucy reminded him, making Tom chuckle as he pulled away from her.

"I thought you had fallen asleep," Tom said as he looked into her gray eyes.

"I still want to hear it," she insisted as she struggled to keep her eyes open.

"I should get into the car. We can talk as I drive," Tom suggested as he shut her door and went around to get into his seat.

Once he was seated, he turned on the car's ignition and drove off before he started speaking, "I'm not just interested in you, Lu. I'm head over heels in love with you. I'm in love with every single thing that makes you this beautiful lady that you are, and no other person can be more you than you already are. You are innocent, sweet, kind-hearted, petty, quick-tempered, easygoing, sincere half of the time, and you are very crazy even though it's not so obvious. You may not understand this, but from the first night you lay on my bed, I knew that I wasn't going to be able to let you go so easily," Tom confessed, and then shook his head when Lucy's head fell to the side, letting him know that she had dozed off once again.

"Wow! Thanks, Lu," Tom murmured with a chuckle when she started snoring softly, and then he reached out to adjust her head.

He remembered that Jade had been calling him while he was at the club and he was yet to return her call, so he decided to return her call.
