Tom sat on the swing, kicking off and screaming at me as I sat on the ground, watching him swing higher and higher. I grinned. My boyfriend is so childish that sometimes it’s actually quite cute. At the right times, of course.
“Come on, get on and swing your troubles away!” he yelled, swinging the highest he’d done yet.
I giggled and jumped onto the swing next to him. Kicking the pebbles next to me, I felt the wind playing with my hair as I swung higher and higher, the kids on the slide little ants. Spending time with Tom is always so much fun.
“How are you and the girls doing with those songs of yours?” Tom asked, as we slumped on the grass, half an hour later.
“Ok. We practised When She’s in Love yesterday.” I replied.
“Know when you’re going to send some demos out?”
“No. Amber said the other day that she’d like to send some out soon, but first she’d like to write some more songs.
“Oh. I want to tell the guys at school I’m going out with a rockstar!” Tom moaned, but a mischievous glint appeared in his emerald eyes.
“That’s not going to happen just yet.” I laughed, playfully tweaking his nose and kissing it gently.
“Beep! Beep!” my mobile bleeped at me. I had a text from Paige. It said:
“Hi, Scarlett. Me and the girls are going up to the town centre later. Do you want to come? If you’re with Tom, you can drag him along as well.
Paige xxx”
“It’s from Paige.” I told Tom, who was watching me inquisitively. “She was wondering if we’d like to go up to the town centre later with her and the rest of the girls. How about it?”
“Yeah, that’s alright.” Tom smiled.
“Right, that’s settled then.” I smiled back.
