Book One 💜
"I promise it's the little things that you do
That make me wanna give it all to you
You know I do, baby"
Being a part of the MCU is a big deal but when you're already well known and have no filter it can cause for a mess of things to hap...
Alex's POV My birthday has always been my favorite holiday. You can argue with me that it is not a holiday but I don't care because it is.
I was currently laying on my couch scrolling through Instagram and liking and commenting on all my friends post that posted me. I noticed my tag button had 9+ tags so I clicked it to not only see my friends post but videos from people I've never even meet before.
I clicked on the newest one to see that it was an edit for me! I smiled before liking it a warm feeling running through me. I heard a quiet knock on my door and I ran to it. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" I smiled at Harley before throwing my arms around her "what are you doing here?!!" She smiled and walked in "I told my boss like months ago that October 18th is a day that I can not work!" I smiled as I walked behind her skipping just a bit.
"I've missed you so much! I hate that we're both now working actresses" Harley rolled her eyes at me "you always acted" I shrug "yeah but I gave up after my singing career took off" Harley sighed grabbing my chocolate chips and eating them "so how come you took the Marvel job? Like what made you go yes this is the one?" I sat down on my counter and grabbed some chocolate chips before answering her.
"Truthfully I dunno. My manager was just talking about Marvel and I said I would kill to be in a Marvel movie and James said they were holding auditions for a new Spider-Man movie. I originally wanted to be cast as MJ but they said Olivia Stark might fit me better" Harley smiled "I would want to be Gwen Stacy" I smiled "Like Peter's girlfriend?" Harley rolled her eyes "no you twat".
We both started laughing and she threw her chocolate chip at me "HEY!" She didn't respond she just blew me a kiss "sooo what are you doing for my birthday?" Harley looked at me right in my eyes "well I'm here aren't I?" Hey don't get me wrong I love when my bestie comes to hang but I wanted to do something really special for my 20th.
"Ok so what are we gonna do?" Harley smiled "let's go to the mall!" She got down from the island and ran out "wait I'm not even dressed" "NIETHER AM I!" Go out in my pajamas or get ready? I groaned "ok, ok I'm coming!" I put on my air forces and ran outside.
🖤
We had been at the mall for 3 hours now and I was starving. "Harls can we go eat?" She smiled "sure birthday where you wanna go?" "I dunno I think I want teriyaki" "you wish is my command your majesty" I laughed as we walked back to her car.
I didn't want to sound like a brat I just wished I was going to have a party this year. I mean don't get me wrong I love Harley and I hardly get to see her but I wanted to do something big.
I pulled my phone out to see new messages from Tom. I smiled and quickly unlocked my phone.

"We're you texting Tom?" I rolled my eyes "Harls I'm not hungry anymore, but can we go to Starbucks?" Harley looked at me "you're lucky it's your birthday, bitch" I smiled at my bestie and looked out the window thinking of Tom.
It was crazy to even think about him this way! I hugged my knees to my chest and took a big breath as I watched the world fly past us. I like Tom! I like Thomas Stanley Holland! Wow I like him!
"Yo space girl, we're here" Harley said hitting my shoulder "here?" Harley smiled and got out her car "your house idiot" I nodded and got out the car. I wasn't really listening to Harley as she spoke because I was still recovering from shook. I like him!! I really really like him!
"Alex? Alex what's going on with you?" "I like Tom" I blurted out and she smiled "I knew it! Y'all are couple goals!" She swung her arm around my shoulder and we walked towards my house with the shopping bags.
Harley was smiling as she turned slightly to look at me "so any new songs lately?" I blushed "lots actually! Most are unfinished or just have a chorus but I don't really want to make an album with them" Harley scoffed and turned to face me all the way "Alexia what are you talking about?" I sighed "they're all love songs and they're all about Tom! Hell one of the songs is literally called Tom Holland" Harley started laughing "you're so dumb" she said continuing to walk away from me.
I followed after her glumly "why am I so dumb?" Harley laughed but did turn around "literally everyone knows you like him" I froze "everyone? Even, even Tom?" Harley turned around to look at me "honestly he probably does but don't feel bad because it's obvious he likes you too" my heart jumped "he does?!" Harley didn't answer she just walked up to my apartment.
We walked through the door and Harley disappeared down a hallway most likely to my room. "Yo Harley do you think— "SURPRISE!!" I screamed and fell on the floor. "Umm Alex you good?" Tom reached his hand down to help me up "wait you're here!!" He smiled "Happy Birthday Alex" I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Yeah we're here too by the way" I opened my eyes and saw Zendaya standing behind Tom. I let him go and hugged her "I missed you guys!".
🖤
I walked out to my balcony and saw Tom sitting in one of my patio chairs. I sat down next to him and he reached out his hand not saying anything. I smiled and placed my hand in his. "We can hardly see the stars" "yeah well you know where we can go to see some real stars?" Tom looked over at me "I'm looking at one right now" I blushed looking away.
"Alex I like you, a lot! You make me happy and you're— "Tom? I like you too" I felt him squeeze my hand and my heart squeezed. "Tom I often rush into things but this..." I looked up from our hands to his face "but this I don't wanna mess up, I really really like you and... wait there's no and that's it"
Tom laughed "Alex do you wanna go out like on a date with me?" I smiled up at him "yes". We said nothing after that but I moved over to his chair and we laid together staring up at stars. He likes me!
