"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own."

I hold Brad before I leave for London.

With a quick step, I move towards the elevator before being stopped by Chloé's voice.

-Armony? Are you-...

-I'm fine, don't worry.

I smile as the elevator doors close in front of me.

Avoiding questions from my colleagues, I smile and open the door to Tom's office. Papers are spread on the floor and Tom is not there. I lean over and take the first paper, which happens to be a picture of Tom and I, his head is on top of mine while he looks at the camera and I stick out my tongue. I turn around and go to Zendaya.

-Do you know where Tom is?

-Mr. Holland should be at the airport, he's only there to escort his brothers.

-Thank you.

Arriving in front of the tower, I raise my arm so that a taxi stops and takes me to the airport. At at the airport, I pay and exit the taxi. I'm going to start running when a voice calls out to me.

-Armony?

I turn around and find Tom. My legs don't even hesitate and run towards him. His arms around me, I start crying.

-I got you, darling.

I pull my head out of his neck and look at him. My hands on his cheeks, passing my thumbs over his cheekbones. He smiled at me before putting his forehead against mine.

-I love you, Armony.

-I love you, Tom.

My back against his chest, we are laying in the bathtub. Tom just plays with my fingers while my head rests on his shoulder. A finger of Tom comes to get some bubbles and put them on my nose. I squint to see it, and laugh.

-You know, I thought I'd never hear your laugh again.

I turn my head to see him on the verge of crying.

-I've been playing this moment over and over again for six months.

Tom POV six months ago

Armony walks by me, with her father's arm. I never thought I would cry when I would see a woman in a white dress but as cheesy as it may be, it's not "a woman" it's MY wife. I delicately take her tiny hand in mine. Her smile makes instantly mine.

A few minutes later, we put the ring on our fingers. The priest has no time to say anything else that I put my lips against hers.

Then all goes fast, she turns around, everyone applauds and a shot is heard followed by screams.

Armony POV present

At the sound of a stifled sob, I turn around. His eyes are closed, one hand on his mouth. Our little moment of happiness is so quickly crushed that I am disoriented.

-Hey, babe, I'm here.

I straighten up and hold him in my arms, while wrapping my legs around his waist. His head in my neck, I put one hand in his curls and another strokes his back. Without a word, he kisses me and then gets up, only to end up putting me on the bed, still wet. He smiles at me and goes back to the bathroom to get some towels, he kneels in front of me and starts wiping my feet and then gradually climbs up while kissing my legs.

Keeping the interesting stuff for the other chapter ;)

Okay guys I am so sorry for the wait, but school is killing me 🥺
