Back at his apartment, Tom and Lauren walked in and Tom spotted Steve. He nodded for him to get out of the room. Steve gave Tom the thumbs up and walked away silently. Tom picked up Lauren and let her rest on his hips. He kissed her and they walked to Tom's room. Once they got in, he dropped her onto the bed and pulled himself on top of her. "I love you so much," he told her. He started kissing her neck and she sighed. "Gah, you kill me, Tom. I mean, how are so darn cute that I can't resist you?" Tom shrugged, "It's both a curse and a blessing." "I think you think of it as a blessing," Lauren said. "I mean, you can get any girl in the world to have sex with you. Any guy would love to have that ability." Tom kissed her, "Well, then, aren't you special? Because you're the only one that I want to have sex with." He kissed her again and pushed his pierced tongue into her mouth. She let her own tongue explore around the cold metal in his mouth. He let his fingers clutch the belt loops of her jeans. She pulled out of the kiss and Tom took off his jacket. Lauren pulled off his beanie and smiled at him. He smiled back and pulled off his shirt.
