When would he learn that tequila and him wasn't a very good mix ? That was the first thought Tom had in the morning, after tossing and turning for almost two hours trying to go back to sleep. He got up around 8 o'clock and grabbed a quick shower, before getting out into his car. He needed to go see Soraya.
Okay so technically he probably shouldn't drive. He didn't really feel sober at that point, but it just couldn't wait, and He knes she would be up.
As he arrived and rang her doorbell, he saw to his big disappointment that it was Henly opening the door. As always he got a glance like he was a dirty pet or something. "Oh morning Tom, you know what, now might be a really bad time".
"Why ? You know what I don't care. I just need to speak to her". Henly moved aside with a shrug and a smirk that made his stomach sink, what on earth is going on ? He got a feeling that Henley wanted him to see this.
He slowly walked inside, hearing laugther from the kitchen. It was pretty clear that she wasn't alone, what the fuck was happening here ? He stomps in, finding her with her back turned rummaging through the fridge. Wearing only panties and a tank top. Ike is sitting at the table in his boxers and a T-shirt.
Soraya turns around, looking very surprised to see him there. "Morning Tom, I didn't expect you here this early, especially not today".
"No I can see you didn't. Excuse my language, but what the hell is he doing here ?" He wasn't able to hold back the flood of jealousy and pain trying to drown him any longer. He knew he was looking every part the very jealous boyfriend right then.
Soraya grabbed his arm, pulling him with her out into the hallway. "I really don't appreciate that tone, especially not after that tweet last night. But he is here because he slept here, in the spare bedroom Tom, what the hell do you take me for ?"
"So.. so nothing happened ?" He tried breathing, seeing him there in the kitchen had almost made him totally loose it, feeling like his heart had been ripped out.
She reached up to rest her hand on his cheek, smiling softly at him. "No Tom nothing happened, and if it makes you feel better, Ike is gay. You never had anything to fear at all".
"Oh shit, couldn't you have told me yesterday ? I mean that would have helped me quite a lot". He said letting out a pent up breath.
She slowly removed her hand. "It actually isn't my secret to go around telling, I am only telling you to but your mind to rest, but I wish you would have trusted me".
"Fuck I have totally shrewed up haven't I ? I am so sorry". He felt like a complete idiot. He should have trusted her. He shouldn't have let his insecurities get the best of him and he shouldn't have gotten drunk.
She breathed out, then she cupped his face with her hands and reached up to kiss him softly. "Well I am going to have an even harder time now convincing Henly that dating you is a good thing. But well I kind of get your reaction and I didn't know Ike was gay before on the way there".
He put his arms around her waist, kissing her again. He felt how she melted into his arms. He was very happy that she didn't seem more angry with him.
"But I need to pack and to calm down Henly, so I think it is better if you go home, and maybe clean up some of those tweets okay ? See you tonight ?" She said and he nodded, kissing her one last time before leaving.
She walked back into the kitchen after having said goodbye to Tom. She was actually a little angry with him still, that tweet he wrote in his drunken state could give her a lot of trouble and she was very hurt that he didn't trust her.
"I hope I didn't caused you to much trouble". Ike looked up. He was actually a very nice guy and she knew he had an even harder time with publicity due to his sexuality.
She sent him a friendly smile. "It's okay Ike, not your fault, he just have some insecurities, sorry I kind of had to tell him your secret, to make him understand that he had nothing to fear".
"That is totally okay love, but you are in for a bumpy ride if he has problems with insecurities, it won't be easy when you are away". He sent her an understanding smile.
Henly came into the kitchen. "I saw loverboy leave. Please tell me you have come to your senses and dumped him".
"Henly stop it, I am not going to break up with Tom. What is your big problem with him anyway ?" She  glared at her puplicist. She knew he thought that he was doing what was best for her, but this time she didn't want to cave in.
Henly sat down, breathing out deeply. "It isn't personal, he seems like a nice enough guy, but he just isn't the right one for you sweetie. He is too soft and well boring, to clean cut and well thinking of public relations, he just isn't famous enough. People would chuckle and ask what you are doing with that guy, you are just not compatible".
"Well I tend too listen to my feelings when it comes to dating and not to public relations". She said harsly, but she knew he was right. She just wasn't sure she cared.
Henly folded his hands. "Well maybe you should, if you want to be taken serious. And by the way that tweet last night. People have started guessing, but the general opinion is that he is either fantasising or talking about someone else, because the idea of him being with you are hilarious. And now him showing up here acting jealous and possessive.. this is just not the kind of guy you should be dating".
"Tom has some issues with insecurity, but he has been through a lot with his ex and he just need to feel more secure. I know that this way of having a relationship has been hard on him, and no Tom isn't cool enough or famous enough, after your standards, But I don't care, he is the sweetest, most caring, most amazing man I have ever known, and that makes him cool. And saying Tom is boring, well saying that just shows that you don't know him at all. He is not boring in any way, he is exactly the kind of guy I should be dating". She told him, and Ike gave her a thumps up behind Henly's back.
Henly got up, shaking his head with a smirk. "You will regret this Soraya, he is wrong for you and you will end up hurt. Don't say I didn't warn you".
