Did I fall in love?|Tom Holland (ENGLISH VERSION)

Chapter Eleven

The drive home is very quiet as we are quite tired after that day at the amusement park.I can already see the Holland house down the street, and we're finally home.

We got out of the car and took the backpacks we took with us for lunch from the trunk.

We went into the house and packed the things we had in our backpacks, Grace and I went upstairs to my room.After entering my room I closed the door and went to take a shower while Grace waits for her turn.We both showered and put on our pajamas to be more comfortable.—That was a wonderful day, — Grace said with a huge smile as she lay back on the bed.

—Yeah, it was amazing to see you swooning over Harry, —she said, then chuckled. "I was quite surprised when I saw you at the door this morning.

—But why friend, Harry had already invited me for the tour today.

—Wait, you already knew we were going to the park, but why didn't I find out?

—Well, from what Harry told me it was Tom's idea, I think it's a way for him to make up for you for not getting off to a good start. — so Tom had decided to make this surprise for me and he was already planning it — I was surprised when Harry told me, you know Tom was always rebellious and never gave much importance to anything and was always arrogant, but maybe he's changing.

—Yea. Maybe.

I get a little thoughtful, this boy changes my ideas all the time, but maybe with this parents situation and after yesterday, maybe we can build a good friendship, maybe he's changing and there's a lot that no one knows about him and me I believe he does have a sensitive side, a Tom who loves his family, friends and cares about them, a Tom who likes to read and makes me want to meet him, as if I had to decipher a mystery.—Julie! Juliee!

—Oh! Sorry, I was lost in my thoughts.

—Uhm, I know and these thoughts of yours happen to be about a boy with curly brown hair who is on the football team and who has a girlfriend who hates you and fought with you the very first day.

—Why you had to remind me of Olivia. — I said burying my face in the pillow.

—Julie, I know you feel something for Tom and that you can see a good side in him and have faith in him, but don't forget that you have Olivia and if she finds out you have a crush on him, I can't even imagine what she's capable of doing to get you out of the way.

—Grace, I don't have a crush on Tom, saying it like that it sounds like I'm the one who has the girls in the crowd drooling over. We laughed at my comment.

—It's okay if you say no, but you know you can tell me everything and I'll be here to help with whatever you need. That's what friends do, they help each other.

—Yes I know and I am very grateful for having you, but I feel nothing for Tom, we are simply friends, good friends or at least we are trying to have our friendship.

—I believe so,— Grace said, laughing and putting her hands in the air like she was surrendering. — I think we'd better go downstairs and help the boys with dinner.

We left my room and went downstairs to the kitchen and when we entered the room the three brothers were preparing dinner.—Hmm, what a good smell.

—It's our grandmother's recipe,— Sam replied.

—She looks good, I'm even getting hungry.

—Well, the sauce is practically ready, I'll take it to the table. Harry can bring the drinks.

—And I can take this crockery to put on the table,"—Grace said.And the three of them walked out of the kitchen, leaving Tom and me alone.

—Thank you so much for today, I had a lot of fun. — Tom looked confused as if he didn't understand the subject —Grace told me you've been planning this tour practically the entire week and I'm very grateful, I haven't had this fun since I moved here.

Tom wiped his hands, took off his apron and turned to me.

—Julie, I'm so glad you liked it, I just wanted to make it up to you and thank you for listening to me vent and keep me company yesterday and for being kind even though I was an asshole when you got here, but I know now. that I really enjoy spending time with you, you are a very special girl who always wants to help others and is on my side and I don't want to lose you... I mean I don't want to lose that, you want to be my friend , we could start over.

—Of...Of course it will be nice to have you as a friend and I'll be here whenever you need me.I barely finished the sentence Tom hugged me and soon returned the hug.

—I think we'd better join them, otherwise we'll end up not even having dinner, if those goons eat everything. — we laughed.

We left the kitchen and went to the dining room, where the twins and Grace were already getting ready to serve their dishes and Tom and I joined them. We had dinner and talked for a while, cracking jokes and the boys told us about some moments of their childhood and showed us some pictures of them when they were little and the pranks they used to do and Grace and I died laughing.

We then decided to watch a movie and sat on the couch, a little cramped but everyone could sit down and we ended up falling asleep after such an emotional and tiring day.
