Tom Blyth Imagines

Blind Date

"Maya I am not doing this, you know how I feel about dates with strangers"

You were standing in the full body mirror of your best friend's bedroom in a black dress and emerald green heels. You had on your favorite necklace and an assortment of rings you had collected over the years. The dress went halfway on your thighs and had a deep v cut with off the shoulder sleeves. Maya had put your hair in a not messy messy bun leaving out some framing bangs and curling them. The two of you became friends after you were in a movie with her dad Ethan Hawke a few years back. Ever since then, you had been joined at the hip.

"Y/n he's not a stranger I know him! It'll be fine, trust me"

Maya added some finishing touches to your makeup, fixed your necklace and patted your shoulders.

"Not a stranger to you but to me he is! I've haven't seen a picture of him thanks to you"

"Oh stop being so dramatic and get your ass out the door, you're gonna be late!"

Reluctantly, you grabbed your coat, checked yourself in the mirror one last time, and headed to the car Maya had waiting outside for you. All you knew was that Maya had known this guy since her time at Juilliard, he's British, and apparently perfect for you. She made it a point to say he was British because she knew how much you loved the accents and didn't want you to freak out when you heard him. When the car pulled up to the restaurant, you thanked the driver and made your way inside. Another thing to mention is that Maya hadn't even shown you a picture of this guy because "she wanted it to be a surprise for you."

"Hi I have a reservation for two under Hawke"

The lady at the counter smiled and motioned for you to follow her to the table. As you got closer, you realized he was already here, but you weren't late, he was just early. She stopped at a table with a window view of the city.

"Thank you"

You smiled at her then took your seat across from the mystery man. First impressions, he was very attractive and those eyes. The bluest eyes you had ever seen.

"You must be y/n, I'm Tom. It's a pleasure to meet you"

Tom held out his hand which you gladly shook replying with,

"Yes, I am. It's a pleasure to meet you too. Maya has not stopped talking about you"

That earned you a chuckle as he said she had talked about you quite a bit as well. His accent was beautiful but then again you thought any British accent was. The waitress came by and took your orders, leaving you to strike up conversation once again.

"So Maya tells me you're an actress as well?"

"I am! I just booked a role on her show Stranger Things actually. We start filming in a few weeks. How about you? What do you do?

Maya had told you that he was an aspiring actor but you didn't want to tell him that.

"Oh that's exciting! I'm actually looking into acting myself. I've had a few small roles here and there but nothing major yet. What's your character on the show? Or can you not tell me?"

"I'm sure you'll find something eventually, maybe a TV show? And my role, well I'm not supposed to tell you so if you tell anyone I'll come for you"

You say with a laugh to which Tom laughed too and motioned a zipper on his lips.

"My lips are sealed. Now tell me everything"

"Well her name is Amara Greenwich and she plays Robin's cousin who comes to Hawkin's for the summer. She eventually ends up falling for Steve who falls for her too just later in the season. That's really all I know about her, I haven't gotten a full script yet"

"Well that sounds wonderful. I'm sure you'll have a great time on set"

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to being friends with the cast and actually filming something with Maya. Maybe you can come visit sometime if you're in the area"

"I mean I wouldn't be opposed to that"

He gave you a smile and took a sip of his water. Smooth you thought as you copied him and drank your water as well. The night went on and you talked for hours just getting to know each other. You couldn't deny that the chemistry was there as well as the attraction and you hoped Tom felt it too.

"Well I had a lovely evening y/n. Would you want to go for a walk?"

You nodded your head with a smile, then the two of you got up and walked outside. It was a cool summer night so you held your jacket on your arm. You linked the other with Tom's as you started walking along the water. As you walked, you talked more and got to know each other more than at dinner. At some point you decided to take off your heels as your feet were killing you. Tom kindly held them for you, much to your protesting.

"I would love to do this again if that's alright with you?"

Tom asked, coming to a stop and facing you. You couldn't help but blush and smile, looking at the ground.

"Yes, I would love to do this again Tom"

You then kissed his cheek which made him blush as well then he said,

"You missed"

"What?"

And before you knew it his lips were on yours. This sent shivers down your spine and the butterflies exploded in your stomach. Sure you've kissed people for your movies but never did it feel like this. He pulled away first with a smile and gave you a loving look. You smiled back, pulled him in for a hug, and whispering in his ear,

"Thank you for such a special night Tom"

You faced him again, kissing him once more.

After your special moment, the two of you made your way back to the restaurant where the car was waiting. Tom suggested you ride together as it was late and he wanted to make sure you made it back home alright. When you got in the car, you lay your head on Tom's shoulder as he held your hand. The car ride was about 15 minutes in which you and Tom stayed silent and enjoyed each other's presence. He gave you his number to arrange a second date as the driver stopped the car at Maya's house.

Tom walked you to the door and you got out your key to unlock the door.

"Well, I guess I should head to bed now, thank you again for a lovely evening and please text me when you get home."

"Of course, and thank you as well. I really enjoyed tonight"

Tom put his hands on your cheeks and pulled you in for one last kiss.

"Goodnight y/n"

"Goodnight Tom, talk to you later"

You opened the door as Tom walked back to the car and turned around to see Maya jumping up and down in the hallway.

"HOW DID IT GO?? TELL ME EVERYTHING"

She screamed out in excitement leading you to the living room to debrief the night.
