The Former Spy

Chapter 25

The day of the skydive finally arrived, and the atmosphere was one of excitement and nervousness. The Kardashian-Jenner family was all gathered at the site, equipped with cameras, cell phones and the expectation of capturing every detail of the big moment. It was a sunny morning, and the landscape around the skydiving center looked perfect, with green fields stretching to the horizon.

Kim, Kourtney, Kylie and Khloe were standing at the landing spot, chatting and trying to contain their excitement. Kris was also there, with an excited smile as she watched her daughters.

"I can't believe Kendall is actually going to do it," Kim said, crossing her arms and casting a worried look at the sky. "I don't know if I'm more nervous or proud of her."

"Relax, Kim," Khloe replied with a laugh. "She's in good hands. Besides, Tom is a master at this. I bet it's going to be amazing!"

Kylie was next to them, holding her cell phone out to capture the moment.

"I hope they do some cool stunts in the air. This is going to be epic for my feed!" she said, laughing and adjusting the camera to make sure she got the best shot.

Meanwhile, back on the plane, Kendall and Tom were ready to jump. They were both dressed in their skydiving gear, and Kendall felt her heart racing as she looked out the open door of the plane. The view from above was both terrifying and incredible at the same time. She tried to stay calm, taking deep breaths and feeling Tom's safe presence behind her.

"Ready for this?" Tom asked, adjusting the last details of his gear.

Kendall turned her head, smiling nervously but full of excitement. "I've never been more ready! Come on, Tom. Give me that adrenaline rush!"

Tom laughed, tightening the belts that kept them connected. He knew this was going to be a big moment for Kendall and he wanted everything to be perfect.

"It's okay, Kendall. Just relax and trust me. I'll take care of everything. You just have to enjoy the fall."

She nodded, taking another deep breath as she felt the strong wind around her. Then, with one last countdown, Tom gave the signal for the jump.

"Three, two, one... let's go!"

And then they jumped, falling out of the plane at an impressive speed. Kendall screamed, a mixture of fear and euphoria, as the wind hit her face and the world around her seemed to turn into a blur. Tom, calm and experienced, adjusted their posture in the air, stabilizing the fall so that they could both enjoy the view.

"Look at this, Tom!" Kendall shouted, with a huge smile. "It's surreal!"

Tom laughed, keeping them steady as they enjoyed the free fall.

"It's amazing, isn't it? It's what I love most about skydiving! This moment of pure freedom in the air."

Kendall looked around, amazed by the immensity of the sky and the panoramic view of the land below them. She could feel her heart beating hard and adrenaline coursing through her body.

"Now I understand why you do this, Tom!" she said, still shouting over the sound of the wind. "It's the best feeling in the world!"

Tom nodded, keeping the smile on his face. And after a few seconds of freefall, he pulled the parachute. The impact was soft, and the equipment opened perfectly, slowing their fall as they now floated through the sky towards the ground.

On the ground, the entire family cheered as they saw Tom and Kendall's parachute open in the sky. Kim let out a sigh of relief, placing her hand on her chest.

"Thank God! The parachute opened perfectly. I was so nervous!"

Kris laughed, putting an arm around her daughter.

"It's going to be okay, Kim. Just look at how peacefully they are floating. It almost looks like they're dancing in the air." Khloe was filming every second, capturing Kendall and Tom's descent.

"This is going to make a great TikTok video! Who would have thought our little sister would be so wild?"

Kourtney just smiled, watching Kendall and Tom's descent with her eyes.

"She always had that courage inside her. She just needed a little push."

As they descended smoothly, Kendall was still in awe of everything around her.

"Tom, I can't thank you enough for this. This experience is surreal. Seriously!"

Tom smiled, holding tightly to the parachute controls.

"I'm glad you're enjoying it, Kendall. These are the things that make life special, and I'm happy to share that with you."

As they neared the ground, Tom adjusted the angle of their descent to ensure they landed safely near the waiting point where their family was waiting for them.

When they finally reached the ground, Kendall jumped up and down, taking off her helmet and smiling broadly at her sisters and mother. Everyone started clapping and cheering as Kendall ran toward the group.

Kim was the first to hug her.

"Oh my God, Kendall! I was so worried, but you made it look so easy!"

Kendall laughed, still in ecstasy.

"That was the best experience ever of my life, Kim! You guys have to try it sometime!

Kylie walked over to Tom, extending her hand for a shake.

"Tom, you were amazing! I don't think I would ever have the courage to do that."

Tom shook her hand, smiling.

"Maybe someday, Kylie. I'm always here to give you a little push if you want to try."

Kendall, her heart still racing, looked at Tom and smiled.

"Thank you, Tom. You really made it seem safe and magical."

Kourtney walked over, studying Tom with a quizzical smile.

"So, Tom, is there anything you don't do? You look like a real superhero."

Tom laughed, shaking his head.

"Nothing like that. I'm just someone who likes a challenge. But I'm glad you enjoyed it. You guys are an amazing family, and it's a pleasure to share moments like this with you."

Kris put a hand on Tom's shoulder, smiling.

"We're the ones who are grateful, Tom. You've brought so much happiness to our family and have been a true friend to all of us."

Kendall hugged Tom again, feeling immense gratitude for the experience and the support he had given her. It was clear that he already had a special place in the hearts of each member of the family.

Later, as everyone gathered at an impromptu picnic, eating snacks and laughing, Kim sat next to Tom and held his hand.

"Thank you for this, Tom. You really are creating special memories for all of us. I can't thank you enough."

Tom squeezed her hand, smiling. "Kim, being with you and your family has been a gift to me. So, believe me, I should be the one thanking you."

And in that moment, surrounded by laughter and love, Tom felt that somehow he had found a home here. He didn't know what the future held, but he knew that these moments were precious and that he would do anything to preserve them.

Chapter 26

The day after the jump, Kendall still felt the adrenaline pumping. Rewatching the video several times, she could hardly believe that she had actually skydived. She was not only a model and businesswoman, but now she was also a true adventurer, all thanks to Tom's support, who guided her and gave her confidence.

Decided to share the moment, Kendall selected the best parts of the video that Tom had filmed with the GoPro in his head. The sequence showed the thrilling jump, the moment the parachute opened, and the smooth descent with the incredible view of the sky and the mountains. She thought carefully about the caption, wanting to convey how special the experience had been.

Finally, she wrote:

"Unforgettable experience! Thank you, Tom, for making this moment even more incredible. It was more than just a jump, it was a moment of freedom and overcoming. Pure adrenaline! 🪂💥"

Kendall posted the video and, within minutes, the comments started to appear. There were thousands of likes, and the video was shared countless times on fan accounts and entertainment sites. The repercussion was immediate, and the public was surprised and excited by her courage and by Tom's presence alongside the Kardashian-Jenner family.

As the comments increased, Kendall took out her cell phone and looked at the messages of support and excitement from fans and friends. Hailey Bieber was one of the first to comment.

— Hailey Bieber: "Girl! This is awesome! Who would have thought you would jump like that, and with Tom? This guy must be so cool!"

Kendall laughed when she read Hailey's comment. She knew that her friend understood how big of an experience this was, since they always talked about living new adventures, but skydiving was something she never imagined they would do.

Then another comment caught everyone's attention:

— Gigi Hadid: "Kenny, I have goosebumps! That jump was surreal, but I'm shocked by Tom! He seems like the coolest brother ever, haha. Next time, take me with you!"

Kendall smiled, imagining the scene of Gigi jumping with them. Having her best friend there would have been amazing too, but who knows, maybe they could do it another time.

Shortly after, a comment from Bella Hadid appeared:

— Bella Hadid: "Oh Kendall, I definitely wouldn't have the guts! But I have to admit, Tom is awesome for doing that with you! You guys rocked it!"

Kendall laughed, remembering how Bella always avoided situations that involved heights. It was typical of Bella to be impressed, but not willing to try.

Another comment caught her attention:

— Fai Khadra: "I would have done that jump with you, but only if I had someone like Tom to guide me! This guy is a hero, seriously. He must be the best brother-in-law ever!"

Kendall laughed out loud when she read Fai's comment. He was always making jokes, but she knew that deep down, he also admired Tom's courage. The reactions of her closest friends showed how special Tom's presence was becoming to everyone around her and her family.

Meanwhile, in Kim's house, she watched the comments and the repercussion of Kendall's video. Tom was next to her, a little surprised to see how many people were talking about him.

— I don't think I've ever gotten so much attention in my life — he said with a light laugh.

Kim smiled and put her hand on his shoulder.

— Welcome to my world. And honestly, everyone loves you. I think you're winning over not only my family, but everyone.

Tom looked at her fondly, a little disconcerted by all the attention.

"It's funny, because I really just wanted to share something special with Kendall. But I'm glad it meant so much to her… and to everyone else."

Kim smiled, pulling him closer and hugging him.

"That's what makes you so great, Tom. You share what you love and make people feel safe. That's one of the reasons everyone likes you."

Tom laughed, a little embarrassed, and looked back at the video that was being shared on various fan accounts and news sites. He knew that being involved with Kim and her family brought this kind of attention, but seeing the genuine affection from his friends and the public was new and, in a way, exciting.

Later, Kendall was sitting on the couch at home, texting with Hailey, Gigi, and Bella, who were bombarding the group of friends with questions about Tom.

— Gigi: "Girl, we need all the details! That jump was a real thrill!"

— Hailey: "How did he make you feel so confident, Kenny? I don't think I've ever seen you so confident on video."

— Kendall: "You guys have no idea! Tom has this calmness, you know? It's like he knows exactly what to do to make people feel relaxed. He took care of every detail and made me feel so safe. It was amazing."

— Bella: "Okay, so when are we going on an adventure with him? He seems to take it easy, I want to get to know this guy better!"

The messages continued, and Kendall was excited about introducing Tom to her friends at an upcoming get-together. She knew he and Kim already had an amazing connection, but seeing the love his friends and family were feeling for him only reinforced how special he was.

So, as she continued to reply, Kendall decided to thank Tom directly. She texted him, who was with Kim, saying:

"Tom, thank you again for everything. That jump was one of the best moments of my life, and I seriously couldn't have done it without you!"

Within minutes, he responded:

"It was a pleasure, Kendall! You were amazing. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did."

Kendall smiled at her phone, pleased to see that Tom genuinely cared about sharing meaningful moments with the Kardashian-Jenner family.

The next day, news about the jump continued to circulate. Several sites highlighted how Tom had earned the trust and friendship of Kendall and the rest of the family, and fans were excited about this new dynamic.

— Fan comment: "This guy really seems like the best friend and adventure partner! Kim is so lucky!"

— Another fan: "Does anyone else want to see Tom and Kendall do an adventure series? I would definitely watch!"

And even unexpected comments came in:

— Fan comment: "Tom is like that big brother everyone wishes they had. I hope he and Kim stay together for a long time!"

Kim, seeing the positive reaction, felt proud that Tom was integrating so well into her world and her family. She knew that, for him, all this exposure was new, but at the same time, he was taking it naturally, enjoying every moment.

On a quiet morning, she sat next to him, holding his hands and looking into his eyes.

"See? You're slowly winning everyone over, and it's not because of fame, but because of who you really are."

Tom squeezed her hands, smiling sincerely.

"Kim, I just want to be here for you and your family. If they like me in the process, then I'm already the luckiest man in the world."

Kim smiled, pulling him into a hug, feeling closer to him than ever. She knew that this relationship was something special and that together they could face anything even the intense media scrutiny and the hectic world of social media.

And as Kendall continued to respond to her friends and fans about her experience, she also knew that the jump had been more than just an adrenaline rush. For her and everyone around her, Tom was increasingly becoming an essential part of that big, complicated family.

Chapter 27

Evening was falling gently over Kim's house, bringing an atmosphere of tranquility and togetherness. The day had been full of activities and commitments, but now was the perfect time to relax as a family.

Kim and Tom were excited for a special evening with her children – North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. They had planned a relaxed evening, full of fun and affection, and Tom was looking forward to spending time with the children, getting to know each of them better.

On the couch in the living room, Kim settled next to Tom, watching the children spread out on the carpet with toys and games. North was completely absorbed in her tablet, creating digital drawings, while Saint and Chicago were putting together a giant puzzle on the floor. Psalm, the youngest, was on his favorite blanket, sitting next to Tom's lap.

Kim looked at Tom and smiled.

"I think they're ready for some fun, don't you think?" she asked with an excited smile.

Tom nodded, smiling back at her.

"Absolutely." How about we start with a game? I heard Saint and Chicago are good at card games," he said, looking at Saint, who immediately looked up, with an excited glow.

"Yes! I'm very good! Will you play with me, Tom?" Saint asked excitedly.

"Sure, champ!" Tom replied, as he picked up the deck of cards that was on the coffee table. "But I warn you that I don't make it easy, so you have to play seriously!"

Saint laughed, sticking his tongue out at Tom, accepting the challenge.

While Tom was organizing the cards, Kim approached North, who was still focused on her tablet.

"What are you drawing, my love?" Kim asked affectionately.

North showed Kim her drawing, a colored sketch of the whole family. In the middle were Kim and Tom, surrounded by North and her siblings, all holding hands.

"It's beautiful, North!" Kim praised, moved by the drawing. "You're a real artist."

North looked at Tom and shyly held out the tablet to him.

"Look, Tom. That's you in the drawing too, with me and my brothers. Do you like it?" she asked, with a small smile.

Tom looked at the drawing, visibly touched. He hadn't expected to be included so affectionately, and the representation of the family there showed how much he was winning a special place in the children's hearts.

"North, I loved it! You drew the family beautifully. I'll have to order a copy to put up in my house too," he said, smiling.

North gave a shy smile, pleased with the compliment.

After some games and laughter, Kim suggested a relaxed "pizza night" style dinner. The children were excited to build their own pizzas, with all the ingredients prepared on the kitchen table. Tom was in charge of helping to organize the toppings while Kim prepared the dough.

"Saint, what would you like on your pizza?" Tom asked, holding a bowl of shredded mozzarella.

Saint looked at the ingredients with a serious look, as if he was making a very important choice.

"I want lots of cheese, olives, and... pepperoni!" he said, placing a few slices on the dough with concentration.

Chicago, next to him, decided that she wanted pineapple on her pizza, which sparked a debate with Saint.

"Pineapple on pizza is wrong!" Saint declared, making a face at Chicago.

"But I like it!" Chicago replied stubbornly.

Tom intervened, laughing.

"You know what? Every pizza is special the way we want it. So, if Chi wants pineapple, let's make her own pizza!" he said, winking at Chicago, who smiled proudly.

Psalm, the youngest, was happy just to put little handfuls of cheese on his dough, while Kim helped make sure the toppings were in the right place.

After all the pizzas were ready and in the oven, Kim looked around and realized how special this moment was. The house was filled with laughter, the smell of pizza was in the air, and her children were excited. She couldn't stop smiling as she watched Tom get along so well with the children, interacting with each of them in a unique and natural way.

Later, with the pizzas ready, everyone sat down in the dining room to enjoy the meal. The enthusiasm was contagious, and the conversation flowed easily. Psalm was next to Tom, who helped cut the pizza slices for him.

"This is the best pizza ever!" Saint declared with his mouth full, causing everyone to laugh.

"I agree!" Kim said, smiling. "You all did an amazing job."

North, after taking a bite, looked at Tom and said, "Tom, have you ever made pizza before?"

Tom shook his head, laughing. "I've made a lot, but none as good as this. I guess it's because I'm with the best chefs in the world."

The children smiled, feeling proud of the compliment. The evening progressed at a leisurely pace, and the childhood stories that Kim and Tom shared with the kids laughed out loud. Tom told them about his adventures as a kid, including the time he tried to build a "fort" out of sheets and chairs in his mom's living room and ended up making a huge mess.

"And what did your mom say?" North asked curiously.

"Oh, she wasn't very happy," Tom laughed. "But after a while, she thought it was funny and even helped me rebuild the fort. She always said that sometimes the mess is part of the fun."

The kids laughed, and Saint, already inspired by the story, suggested:

"We could make a fort out of sheets too! That would be fun!"

Kim and Tom exchanged a look, both finding the idea amusing. After all, it was a night dedicated to the kids, and nothing seemed more appropriate than ending the night with a game.

After a little teamwork, the end result was a makeshift fort in the living room, where everyone settled down to watch a movie. The pillows and blankets were arranged comfortably, creating a cozy space that was soon filled with laughter and the sound of the movie on TV.

Psalm was nestled in Tom's lap, who seemed genuinely happy and at peace. Kim, next to him, looked at him with a sparkle in her eyes, realizing how much he was already an essential part of the family.

"This is the best day!" Psalm murmured before gently falling asleep in Tom's lap.

Tom watched him sleep, feeling excited and honored to be welcomed into such an intimate and simple moment. Chicago, lying next to Kim, turned and whispered:

"Tom will always be with us, right, Mommy?"

Kim stroked her hair and smiled.

"Yes, my love. He'll be here as long as we want him to. And I think he loves you too."

Chicago smiled, pleased with the answer.

At the end of the movie, Kim and Tom helped the children get ready for bed. With Psalm already asleep, Tom carried him to the bedroom, carefully placing him on the bed. He helped to settle the other little ones, telling a quick story until they all fell asleep, exhausted but happy.

Back in the living room, Kim and Tom sat on the couch, taking a deep breath after the restless night. Kim looked at him, with gratitude in her eyes.

"Tom, you were amazing today. They love you, you know?" she said, caressing his hand.

Tom smiled, holding her hand tightly.

"I love being with them too. Spending this night with you and them was special for me."

Kim approached, hugging him affectionately and feeling grateful for that simple and genuine moment. That night, she knew that Tom was not only her partner, but also a beloved member of her family.

It was exactly what she had always wanted, someone who could be with her and her children, in moments of joy and simplicity. And Tom was there, bringing love and unity to that family, and becoming the home that Kim and her children so desperately needed.
