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

Chapter Fifteen

After traveling for some time, the car stopped in front of a chalet, a country house of stone and wood.

But it was when I got out of the car that the shock was total. I was speechless, I am completely enchanted by the tiny field of sunflowers, with the light of the sunrise overlaying them. I had never seen anything like this, so beautiful, just perfect. I've always had a great fascination for nature, for the beauty that this planet offers us and yet we don't take care of it.

—It's beautiful is not it? I knew that would be your reaction. - Tom said, staying by my side. - Ah, but there's still a lot more, let's leave our things at the house and then I'll show you, what do you think?

—Yes.imm. - I replied still a little mesmerized by the beauty of the landscape right in front of me.

We took our bags out of the car and walked to the house. At the entrance there was a couple with smiles from ear to ear waiting for us to approach the house. I'm sure they were very happy to see their grandchildren, after so long and after all the situation that happened.

Paddy passed between his grandparents and ran over to us, hugging Nikki. Sam and Harry approached them and joined in the hug.After they broke the hug Paddy ran to Tom, who bent down to the size of the youngest and hugged him.

—I missed you little one.

—I've missed you too,— Paddy replied with a smile.We headed towards the house and inside. Nikki's parents welcomed us with open arms.

—Hello, very good morning, I'm Julie.

—Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you Julie, I'm Elizabeth and this is my husband Robert, we've heard a lot about you, you're welcome, we hope you feel at home.

—Thank you! It's a pleasure to meet you too, and the house is really beautiful, not to mention the wonderful view of the sunflower field.

—I'm glad you like it, come with me and I'll show you to your room.

I went upstairs following Mrs Elizabeth, towards my future room for this weekend. It was a room with a considerable size, cozy and had a window, and guess what, I could see the field of sunflowers from my bedroom window, I can already understand that I was amazed by the sunflowers.

I was looking out the window at the countryside, when I get the feeling I'm being watched and I look for the pair of eyes that are looking at me and I see Tom leaning against the doorjamb, with a little boy, Paddy, peeking out from behind his big brother .—I'm taking Paddy to the village festival, and I thought you might want to come with us.

—Yes, of course I would like to go.

I grabbed my bag from the bed and followed Tom and Paddy out of the house, starting our way to the festival.—What did you think of the place so far?— Tom asked, breaking the silence.

—I'm loving it, it's really beautiful, I really needed to be in a place like this to get some rest.

—True, this week has been quite busy with tests and assignments.

—Hum, you are now quite studious.

—You thought I was like those popular guys who are completely dumb and ignorant, actually no, I have a side that few people know about.

—I never said I thought you were ignorant.

—I'm sure you mentally insulted me several times the day we met.

—It's true that you were very rude that day, but then I realized that you were just frustrated with life and your family's situation, but we've been getting along pretty well so far.

—Yes, it is far better to be your friend than enemy. Tom said, letting out a nasal laugh.

—We're here! Finally! —Said Paddy, jumping with happiness —I want to go on that ride, Julie, can you come with me, please?

—Of course yes. - I say with almost no time to complete my answer, because his small hand tightly grips my fingers, towards the toy, which he wanted so much to go. —Well, looks like someone is excited, good see you soon,— I say to Tom as we walk away from him.

Later, after going on all the rides, we were now in line for the cotton candy stall.—It was so much fun, I could go another time."

—I don't know Paddy, I'm really tired here I'm getting old for that. - He said imitating a super tired old lady, as if she had run the marathon, making the little boy laugh out loud.

—You are so much fun, Julie, and so much fun, you're way nicer than Olivia, she's really mean but Tom won't leave her, you two could date, you should be Tom's girlfriend.

—But little one, that can't happen, Tom and I are just friends, I don't like Olivia either, but whenever you want I'll be here to play with you or go to the toys at parties or festivals.

—Really, do you promise?— Paddy asks, extending his little finger, with the intention of slaying a professor.

—I promise.— I answer intertwining my finger with his. - OK. my little one, the time has come for us to go to Tom.

—We don't need to look, he's there. — Paddy points to Tom who finds himself with a shotgun trying to hit the targets, to win a prize. Let's go in his direction.He is very focused, and finally manages to hit all the targets. The stall owner gives him a bear. Tom notices our presence and shows a smile.

—Here, for you. - he says handing me the bear.

—O..Thank you.

—So did you have fun?

—Yes a lot!— Paddy replies to his older brother, holding his cotton candy.

—I'm glad, ready to go home?

—Yea! — shouted me and Paddy.

We leave the festival park and start our way back to the Holland grandparents' house.—So what did you think of the village and the festival.

—I liked it a lot, the people are very friendly and it was a lot of fun to go on the rides with Paddy, this afternoon was very well spent.

—I'm glad to hear this. I really like this place, I had a good time here when I was little.

—Look! See and a shooting star, today there's a rain of stars. Paddy said excitedly, pointing to the sky.

We turned our gaze to the sky, to the phenomenon that was taking place high above us. It was beautiful I had never seen it, it was my first time seeing a rain of stars. It's amazing how since I arrived in this place, I've seen wonderful things.—It's beautiful. He said breaking the silence.

—Yes, something very wonderful. said Tom. He stared at the sky, you could see the starlights reflected in his eyes. He really was wonderful. Tom found himself staring at him and then his gaze locked on mine.

—What's going on? Little Paddy asked with a little admiration.

—Anything. We responded in unison, waking up from the trance.

—We'd better get going, before it gets too late.After walking for a long time, we finally arrived at the wooden chalet, located inside the village.

We entered, and the lights were all off, everyone should be asleep by now.

We climbed the stairs and headed to our rooms.

—Paddy goes to his room, puts on his pajamas and brushes his teeth and I'll be there to help. – Tom said, while the younger brother obeyed and entered his room. — Well, I think that's it, I hope I really enjoy this weekend here on the farm.— Tom stopped talking, stared at me, walked over and hugged me. — Good night, Julie.

—Good night, Tom. - I say and then enter the room and close the door behind me.And that's how today was, a fun, wonderful and relaxing day.
