One Shots ~Tom Holland [book 1]

for my granny *Tom Holland*

This plays in the 60s

I heard my door bell ring and quickly ran to the door to open it revealing my best friend.

"Hey. I'll be there in a sec." I said as she came in and I quickly ran back to my room and put on my shoes and got my bag. I looked at myself in the mirror. I had a lovely flower dress on, cream colored balerinas and had my hair curled. I smiled at myself and then ran out to Y/B/F again.

"Ok. I'm ready." I smiled and we left the building. Y/F/N drove us to our usual pub while we talked and laughed singing to a few songs on the radio. When we arrived at our destination, there were a lot of people already there and we got out the car and walked in. The other people were all as old as we were, in they're twenties.

"What do you want to drink?" Y/B/F asked me and we decided on a few beers. We got our drinks and walked over to a table on the other side of the room. We watched the couples on the dance floor dance and Y/B/F even got asked to a dance, which she did and then came back to me. We talked and enjoyed our time together without our dads bugging us about college or potential husbands. I was sitting facing the door so I noticed him imidiatly. My head went up and it was like everything went in slow motion. He walked through the doors laughing with some other guys when he made eye contact with me. I looked back at him and smiled putting my hair behind my ear as he stopped in his tracks and returned my smile.

"Y/N?" Y/B/F asked snatching me out of my trance as she snapped her fingers in front of my face. I turned to her and she grinned at me as she followed my gaze.

"He's cute." She said nodding to the guy with brown curls. I looked back at him and saw that him and his friends were now at the bar.

"Yeah. He is." I smiled and couldn't stop staring at him.

"You should go over and ask him for his name or something." She said taking a sip from her bottle and raising her eyebrows.

"What? No!" I said looking at her. "I can't do that!"

"Why not?" Y/B/F asked as if it was that simple. I just shrugged and took a sip too. For some reason, I just couldn't take my eyes of him. He was standing at the bar with his back turned to me but turned around looking at me. I felt butterflies erupt in my stomach and we smiled at each other. I could hear his friends oooh at him from my seat making me laugh as he turned around again. I continued talking with Y/B/F but felt the boy look at me a lot.

"Y/N, don't turn around! He's coming over!" She grinned and my eyes widened.

"How do I look?" I asked hectically fixing my curls.

"Great." Y/B/F mouthed before he tapped me on my shoulder and I turned around with a smile on my face.

"Hey." I said looking into his hazel eyes.

"Hey." He grinned and held out his hand. "May I have this dance?"

"Of course." I smiled taking his hands and standing up. He pulled me on the dance floor and I quickly turned around to Y/B/F.

"Oh my god!" I mouthed silently before turning back to him as we reached the dance floor.

"What's your name?" He asked me putting his hands on my hips as mine went around his neck.

"Y/N." I smiled as we started swaying to the music. "And you?"

"I'm Tom." He smiled and I nodded my head.

"it's nice to meet you, Tom." I said and he looked deep into my eyes.

"You know, you were the first thing I saw when I came in here." He said making me blush.

"And why is that?" I laughed.

"You're really pretty!" He said pouting his lip as his one hand left my waist and tugged my hair behind my ear again.

"Thank you." I blushed even more. The song switched to "Jailhouse rock" from Elvis Presly. (if you don't know that song then shame on you!)My face lit up and my mouth fell open as the first beats of the song played.

"I love this song!" I laughed and Tom took my hands and we started dancing to the faster song. He swirled me around and we laughed and sang to the song. I felt oddly comfortable around him and was having the best time. But the song came to an end and we stopped dancing and were both out of breath from laughing and dancing. He escorted me back to my table and held my hand as we reached my seat.

"It was really fun dancing with you, Y/N." He smiled and I returned it.

"Yeah. It really was." I said looking into his eyes. He leaned closer and kissed my cheek before pulling away and walking back to the bar where his friends patted his back and ooed again. I sat back down next to Y/B/F and she grinned at me.

"Oh my god!" I gasped. "That was so much fun!"

"Yeah you guys looked great together!" She said and my smile grew even bigger.

"His name is Tom." I said making her raise her brown again.

"Sounds like someone has a crush!" She said and I laughed.

"I think I do." I said quietly more to myself as I looked at Tom again.

The night continued and a few other guys asked me to dance but I refused all of them. Tom glanced at me from time to time and I noticed he didn't dance with any other girls ether. The night was coming to an end and more and more people were leaving the pub and I was getting more and more worried because I didn't know if I was going to see Tom after this. The bar was now nearly empty but him and his friends stayed like Y/B/F and I. Before the bar shut and threw us out, Tom came over to us again.

"Can I dance with you again?" he asked and I was really relieved.

"Of course, Tom." I smiled and took his hand again. The dance floor was nearly empty and we swayed to a slow song. His hands lay on my waist again and I hugged his neck playing with the curls on the nape of his neck. We just looked into each others eyes smiling at one another and enjoyed the moment.

"Why didn't you dance with any other guys? I saw many ask you." He said making me laugh.

"Because I hoped you would come back." I smiled and I could see his cheeks turn pink. That was so cute!

Eventually, the bar closed and we all left together. Y/B/F had started talking to one of Toms friends. We walked around the area and as we walked and talked Tom took my hand. He smiled at me and I don't know what it was, but I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.

"And that's how I met your gandad." I finished my story and looked at my grandchildren. Lily was smiling at me and so was Finn.

"That's so romantic!" Lily, my oldest and only granddaughter, said holding her hand to her chest. My youngest grandsons, Zack and Archie were sitting on mine and Toms laps.

"Yeah. It is." Our son, Dan, said and looked at his brother, Matthew. I couldn't believe they were dads already. Time went way to fast! You need to enjoy every second of it. I looked at Tom who was looking back at me with the same love and adoration in his eyes like the day I met him. Life was precious. And family was special!

A/N: This part I wrote dedicated to my lovely Granny who passed away. this is only part of the story how my grandparents met and it is one of the most romantic stories I have ever heard. I would have loved to experience my Granny tell me more of her side of the story, yet I only found out about this after her passing when my Grandad told me. To her 1 year death anniversary, I will probably write some more for her. I love you Granny!
