My Bosses Son (Tom Holland x Male Reader)

Chapter 4 ~ Birthday Bash

Tuesday 7:30 PM
After you work, you go to the cake place to pick up the cake; Derek's name is on it with the number twenty-three.
Y/N: Perfect.
You pay for the cake and left the store; then a car beeps right when you get outside.
Y/N: the hell.
The car window rolls down.
Tom: get in. I'll drive you there.
Y/N: no thanks, I'm good.
You walk away from him as he gets out of his car to chase after you.
Tom: Listen, I'm sorry, okay.
You continue walking towards the bus stop. Tom still follows you at first; you were annoyed, but after he stopped talking and just walked by your side, you didn't mind you reach the bus stop. You both waited at the bus stop, just sitting in silence as cars passed drove by.
Y/N: what are you trying to prove here, Thomas?
Tom: it's Tom.
You look at him, and he looks back.
Tom: I'm not trying to prove anything; I feel like I owe you for letting me stay at your place.
You both stare at the ground.
Y/N: you don't owe me anything. You don't have to come to this party if you don't want to.
Tom: oh, I'm coming that cake looks good.
You laugh, and tom smiles at you just as the bus came. You both got on and sat in the middle seats.
Tom: so who's Derek?
Y/N: you'll see when we get there.
Tom: fine.
After five stops, you get off and walk towards Derek's house.
Y/N: oh shit, I forgot the balloons.
Tom: I'll buy some. You get the cake there.
Tom runs toward a dollar store, and you walk toward Derek's front door. It opens, and it's Cassidy.
Cassidy: you're finally here.
She looks around.
Cassidy: no, Tom, I see you finally f
Drove him away.
Y/N: I wish I forgot the balloons, so he went to grab some.
Then Derek comes from the kitchen and walks towards you for a hug.
Derek: that cake looks delicious.
Y/N: it's chocolate with a fudge filling, you're favorite.
Derek: I feel spoiled.
He takes the cane and places it in the kitchen while you step inside and look at the people and decorations.
Cassidy: So don't tell Derek, but his high school crush is coming.
Y/N: really?
Cassidy: up. I saw her at the market today, and she said she would come.
Then a knock came at the door you go to open it.
Tom: got the balloons.
Y/N: come in.
Derek comes out of the kitchen again, confused about the stranger at his door.
Derek: who's this?
Tom: Tom, I work with Y/N.
They have each other's hands, and then there's another knock at the door.
Derek: I got it.
Derek opens the door.
Derek: Lyra!
Lyra: Hey Derek.
She hugs him, and he hugs her back.
Derek: How did you get here?
Lyra: Cassidy told me about it here. I brought you something.
She pulls out a cupcake.
Lyra: Chocolate cupcake with a fudge filling like the one you got in high school.
He takes it and smiles.
Derek: you remembered.
Lyra: of course.
She comes inside, and Derek shows her around.
Tom: who's that?
Y/N: that's Lyra Derek. Has had a crush on her since ninth grade. She moved halfway during her last year, but I didn't know she was back in town.
You and Tom both go sit down. You both don't talk about anything other than work. It was pretty awkward until the lights dim low and a slow song starts to play, then Derek stands in front of Lyra.
Derek: Lyra, will you dance with me.
Lyra: I would love to.
They get up and dance, and then you notice everyone else started dancing as well.
Tom: Y/N would you-
Then his phone rings, he answered while walking towards the kitchen.
Tom: Hello, dad, yes, I'm out with some friends. I'll be right there.
He hangs up and walks towards you.
Tom: I have to go.
Y/N: it's okay. It was nice hanging out with you
He smiles, but he also seems hesitant to leave.
Tom: I'll be back, I promise.
Tom walks out the front door, and you sit watching everyone dance; then a hand extends towards you, looking up you see Dereks older brother.
Y/N: Isaac.
Isaac: Wanna dance?
You take his hand, and he leads you towards the dance floor. He was good at dancing. Every move he did was perfectly on beat.
Y/N: you're good.
Isaac: I hope I would be. I dance personally.
He pulls out a flyer from one of his pockets.
Isaac: you should come to one of my shows is love to see you there.
He winks at you, and your face starts to turn red.
Y/N: sure, I'll come.
Eventually, the music stops, and everyone dispersed, walking towards the table to say happy birthday to Derek. He was pleased that everyone was here for him after that, the same was cut, and everyone headed home, leaving you, Derek, Lyra, and Cassidy left.
Cassidy: I am tired.
Derek: so case which was that girl you were dancing with?
Cassidy: I have no idea, but she gave me her number, which I'm going to call right now be right back.
Cass walks outside.
Lyra: remember that old park we used to go to?
Derek: Yeah, I remember me hurting myself on the swing.
Lyra: you were lucky I was there to patch you up.
They both laugh.
Y/N: you two should see if it still up.
Lyra: could we, Derek?
Derek looks at you.
Y/N: it's okay. I'll clean up the place you two enjoy yourselves
Derek run to hug you.
Derek: thank you.
Y/N: she better ask her out, or I'm going to be very upset.
Derek grabs his jacket and his keys, and they both head out the door.
Y/N: Hopefully, they have a good time.
You start to clean, starting with the tables, then the kitchen, then the floors. After all that, you were tired and sat down on the couch. The door opens, and it's Tom.
Tom: Wow, you look tired.
He sat next to you.
Y/N: what time is it?
Tom: Eleven-Fifteen.
You could feel your eyes starting to get heavy.
Tom: how was the rest of the party?
Y/N: it was lovely. The cake is delicious. You should get yourself some.
You put your head on Tom's shoulder and closed your eyes. He looks at you with a smile.
Tom: Sleep, tight, buddy.
