Tom had never been happy with a woman before. Christina was the first person he'd ever even liked. So, he was doing his best to make sure he didn't mess what they had up. He was a little concerned about their age difference, but it seemed as though it really didn't bother her. And they'd been together a couple of months. So.

He'd decided it was time to bring her home to his own house. He took a deep breath and turned the key to his place. "I even cleaned it up a bit."

"Did you?" Christina smiled at Tom. She was looking forward to seeing his place. They'd been together for a while and Tom had seen where she lived a few times, so she felt like it was about time. Especially since Evan made a point of being home and stopping her and Tom from doing anything more than kissing when he came over. Fumbling around in Tom's office was fun and possible, but it was no Spain.

"The outside looks beautiful," she said, looking around Tom's neighbourhood. It was nice, and she was glad Tom didn't live in a high-rise like Lucius did. Houses just seemed more private.

	Tom smiled at her and kissed her softly on the lips before he pushed open the door to his house. He stepped inside, holding the door open for her with a small grin. "This is the sitting room." He took a look around to make sure everything was in order and smiled. "Over there is the kitchen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Christina looked at Tom's living room with wide eyes, then glanced at the kitchen. This... was a lot to take in. She glanced back at Tom briefly, then looked around again. "It's gorgeous," she said, shaking her head a little. "I can't believe this is a real house. It's like a magazine or something."

She undid her coat and shrugged it off her shoulders. "Should I take my shoes off? Is it that kind of house? I don't want to ruin your floors."

	"You only have to take your shoes off if you want to take your shoes off." Tom assured her as he took her coat and hung it up for her in his coat closet. He couldn't stop smiling at her. She was adorable. "You're allowed to take a look around." Tom kissed her softly. "I'm going to order us dinner. What would you like?" He asked, pulling out his phone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Italian?" Christina suggested as she walked into the living room, taking off her shoes because she didn't trust them on Tom's white rug. She began to poke around at his knickknacks, smiling to herself. "We haven't had Italian in a while."

She looked back at him. "Which could just mean pizza if you want it to. I wish we had a fireplace at home. Downside of living in an apartment."

"I can order us real Italian. Not just pizza." Tom assured her with a grin, watching her move around so carefully. She seemed like she wasn't very comfortable in his house, but he wanted to make her feel that way.

He ordered her food and glanced at his wine rack. The bottle of the wine she'd spoke of before was there, waiting for her to find it. "Chris? You want to find us a bottle of wine to have with dinner, love?"

Christina grinned at that. "You know the way to my heart," she said, laughing and heading towards the wine rack instead. A drink would be good. A drink would make her less worried about being in Tom's house. They had had sangria in Spain and she'd been focused on losing her virginity.

She ran her fingers over the labels on the bottles on Tom's wine rack and then stopped, eyes going wide. She turned to look at her boyfriend who had apparently spent eight hundred pounds on a bottle of wine for for her, trying to decide if she was calm enough to actually pick it up yet. "Tom," she said. "You have a 1990 Chateau Latour Pauillac."

	Tom watched her with the bottles and smirked when he saw the shock on her face. He was too amused by her sometimes. She got so excited and had the best facial expressions. He loved it. "Do I?" Tom hummed as he leaned against the counter. "Odd. I wonder how that got there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You..." Christina stared at the bottle for a moment more, then bounced across the room to Tom and flung her arms around his neck, kissing him deeply. "You bought a Chateau Latour Pauillac 1990," she said, looking up at him. "Oh my God."

Christina kissed Tom again, pressing close to him and laughing against his lips. "Oh my God, I don't even know if I trust myself to touch it. What if I'm so excited it explodes in my hands or something?"

	Tom smiled at her and wrapped an arm around her waist. "It's not going to explode in your hands. I promise." He kissed her forehead, rubbing her back slowly. "Stop being so damn adorable." He pulled back. "Do you want to drink it?" He asked. "Or hold onto it until our wedding night?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Stop being amazing and maybe I'll try," Christina said, shaking her head. "I can't believe you managed to remember the name and then vintage well enough to buy it for me. That was our first date." She laughed at his question. "God, I don't know what I want to do with it. Stare at it. Touch it." Christina raised an eyebrow at him. "Our wedding night?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I remember things important people tell me. You're important, Christina. Important to me." Tom told her, touching her hair and kissing her nose. Even if she was young. "Suppose I'm being a bit presumptuous about that, right?" Tom asked as he slid his hand down to rest on her bum. "You're not old enough to marry and you still have to finish school and all."

Christina was not like Narcissa. She didn't sit around and fantasize about her dream wedding and marriage and babies and all that. She wanted to go to business school and run the vineyard and be practical and on top of things. Tom telling her she was important and talking about marriage, however vaguely, still made her melt a little.

"Maybe a bit presumptuous," she agreed, kissing him again. "It would be a little awkward to explain to everyone that you were engaged to one of your students."

"Maybe a bit. Why can't you go to St. Camilla the next town over or something." Tom grinned and shook his head. "I know we're not even capable of being married. And I know all the plans you have for yourself. Just know, it's something I want. Eventually. If you still want me around."

He picked her up and put her on the counter, kissing her neck softly. "Are we drinking or not, Miss Rosier?"

Christina looked down at Tom and laughed. "St. Camilla's uniforms aren't nearly as cute," she said. "The skirts aren't as short. I don't think you'd like me as a St. Camilla girl."

She brushed her fingers through her hair, looking back at the bottle of wine in the rack. Christina kind of just felt good knowing he'd bought it for her. "Let's save it," she said, turning her attention back to him. "Even if we don't drink it on our wedding night, there's always our one year anniversary."

	"I think the Camilla girls are very sophisticated. A little ugly, but they're good girls." Tom thought about that and grinned. "You are definitely not a Camilla girl. You are a bad girl." "You know exactly how to make me a happy man." Tom told her, then pulled her close. "Now. Go pick out a bottle of wine you'll actually drink." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I am a bad girl," Christina agreed, nipping at Tom's bottom lip and sliding a hand up his tie. She kissed him again before slipping off the counter to look at his wine selection again, picking out a nice red.

"This will have to tide us over for now," she said, setting it on the counter and then going in search of wine glasses. "Don't tell me where you keep your glasses. I want to snoop."

	Tom smiled at her. "You can do all the snooping you want to." He told her, sliding his hands down her sides. "But, later. Right now, I have something to show you." He took her hand and led her down the hallway, opening a door. "This is for you. Mostly for show. I know you wont' sleep here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Christina stared at the room Tom had painted her favourite colour and them looked up at him, shocked. "You bought me wine and made me a whole room?"

She leaned up and kissed him and laughing to herself. "I don't know who you're showing things too, but I love it. Thank you." She kissed him again, then pulled back to look around the room. Tom had done a really good job. It was beautiful. "I could sleep here if you slept here with me."

	"We'll have to alternate where we sleep." Tom told her, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "I'm quite fond of my own room too." He smiled and pulled back. "There are some clothes in the closet if you want to get into something more comfortable. I'm sure you don't want to be in your uniform. I'll go change as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tom had bought her clothes too? Christina raised an eyebrow at that and then nodded. "Of course," she agreed. "I'll meet you downstairs. Gentlemen don't watch ladies change." She sort of wanted time to explore her room.

She shooed Tom out, then pushed the door most of the way shut and walked to the closet as she stripped off her uniform, opening the door. Tom had done well, although finding lingerie in the closet made her laugh. She put some of it on, then pulled on jeans and a soft sweater before heading back to the main part of the house, getting waylaid by the desire to touch the bottle of wine he'd bought her again instead of sitting in the living room.

	Tom changed into a pair of more relaxed trousers and a white wifebeater. He combed his hair back a bit and looked himself over before he joined Christina in the living room. He smiled at her and sat down beside her, kissing her neck. "What sort of thing do you watch on telly?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Soaps," Christina said firmly. "Evan and I watch East Enders all the time." She leaned against Tom when he sat beside her. This was nice. The two of them just... spending time together at Tom's house. Relaxing and forgetting she was a student and he was her Headmaster for a while. Right now, she felt like his little wife.

She laced her fingers together with Tom's, smiling up at him. "Sometimes football. He's a boy. Cooking shows. We like Delia."

	Tom gave her the remote so she could turn on whatever she wanted, squeezing her hand with his own. It did feel like she was his little wife. He didn't mind at all. He settled down against the couch with her, resting his feet on the coffee table. "I'll make you breakfast. I watch cooking shows too." (Reply to this)(Parent)
