Just You and I

2.

I soon fell into a deep sea of brown as my eyes wandered over his.. I had honestly never saw such a perfect looking man in my life thus far.
"Holy shit.. please let me help you get this shit off!"
"Don't worry, it was completely my fault anyway" he smiled.. as if he was pleased with what had just happened and didn't care that some random girl had just smeared ice cream all down his perfect torso.
"May I?" I say, tilting my head down to the bunch of napkins that I was holding in my hands ready to wipe off the mess on his chest.
He gave a polite nod before my hands started gliding across the slimy mess on his front.
While running my nails slightly over his abs to get off the last of the ice cream, I glanced up to see his face again and he looked to be smiling.. clearly enjoying this almost as much as I was.

"There... good as new!" I said quietly as I removed my touch from him.
"Thank you.. I'm Tom by the way!" He said, holding out his hand to shake mine.
"I'm Ash! And once again, I am so so sorry Tom."
He just laughed at me, enjoying my state of torment. How embarrassing!

A little later in the day, Zendaya finally made it to the beach. We spent the day catching up on everything boys, Hollywood, and learning about all the new films she has coming out.
"Soo.. any cute new co-stars that you're working with?" I ask curiously, raising my eyebrows at her.
"Funny you should ask that! I invited one of my co-stars Tom Holland to come to the beach today but he  had to pass.. said something about hanging out with his family."
"No way! I would've loved to meet him.. do u have any photos of him?" I question once again. I'm always curious to know of any cute boys Zendaya is working with. I'm at the stage of my life where I should be focussing on myself but I'm so boy-obsessed. Anything to do with cute boys I'm all over.
"Here he is!" She says, flicking through a few photos as she hands me her phone.
"Oh. My. God" I whisper screamed.
"Isn't he handsome! Totally not my type.. but sooo yours!"
"Oh. My. God." I repeated, Zendaya now giving me weird eyes as if I had three heads.

"I smashed my ice cream into his chest earlier.." I whispered, closing my eyes and hoping she didn't hear me.
"You smeared ice cream over TOM HOLLAND?!" Zendaya yelled back, so loudly a few people around us turned their heads when they heard his name.
"Shush! And yes, we ran into eachother and two of the ice creams that I bought went over him." I put my head into my hands remembering the embarrassment I put myself through earlier.
"That little bitch! When he said he was hanging out with family I didnt think he meant at the same beach as us!" Z really couldn't believe she'd been stood up- I clearly could teach her a thing or two about how to deal with that.
Just as Zendaya continued ranting about how offended she was that he didn't wanna hang with her, my phone dinged.
" its my mum.." I say, reading the message aloud. "She wants us both home for dinner in 30 minutes."
"God I just love how your mum treats me like a daughter when I visit! Tell her we'll be there soon."

And so,  Z and I dusted off any sand that was clinging to us and began making our way back to the beachhouse.
"ASH!!"
We were too busy chatting to hear the loud voice calling my name from behind us..
"ASH!!"
Zendaya spun around- she heard it before I did.
And then, a very wet looking Tom Holland came jogging up to us. He was clearly just out of the ocean but damn did he look hot. His loose curls were dangling slightly over his forehead perfectly and his swimming shorts getting tighter with every step he took. The things I would do to him and that I'd let him do to me-
"Sorry to interrupt, do you both wanna come back to mine? We're having a small get together tonight and I'd love for you both to come!"
Me and Z exchange glances.
"Sure, we'd love to come." I say without hesitation.
"But ash what about-
"Z, it's fine. Mum won't mind if we are a bit late for dinner!"
Zendaya rolls her eyes before pushing Tom in the chest so he stumbled backwards a few steps.
"That's for ditching me!" She says laughing as we re trace our steps and begin walking along the beach with Tom.
