Chelsea Boots (A Tom Odell Fanfic)

Chapter 3

*Clara's P.O.V*

After the awkward first chat with Tom's friends, we finally set off to the café. As soon as we got out of the train station, the cold winter air hit my body. Being the stupid person I am, I forgot to wear my jumper, which obviously seemed like the right choice whilst in a warm and sunny place, so there I was with a loose dress and tights only covering my body. Tom had probably noticed how cold I was due to my melodramatic shivers, or maybe this was part of my plan, even though wasn't sure what my plan exactly was at the moment. After about a minute of me continuously rubbing my bare arms, Blondie piped up "Do you want my jacket? I'm already quite warm and I can see that your a little cold." I politely smiled and nodded my head, but really inside I was bursting with some kind of feeling I haven't felt in a while. He took his jacket off and held it open, and for a moment I felt like a little girl again because of how he held it, like he was helping me put it on.

We continued to walk to the café with the others following behind. Multiple times I'm sure Tom tried to hold my hand, but for both mine and his sake, I just kept my arms by my side, even though at this moment I had the urge to kiss him.

We finally made it to the small café, and was immediately greeted by a blonde woman, who bared some resemblance to Tom. "Hey Tom! It's been ages since you were last in Chichester, How are you?" By this point, I had guessed that the woman standing in front of me was Tom's sister, but I daren't say anything just in-case they weren't even related and got really offended. Tom gave a wide smile, and then looked at me, still smiling. "Yeah I know! Looks like the café is doing ok, anyway this is Clara, Clara this is my sister Abby" I smiled at Abby and shook her hand, unsure of what I should do seen as we were stood in the café doorway. "Oh so your the train girl, I thought Max was just making stupid stories up! Nice to meet you Clara!" Abby seemed so nice, and even though I'd probably never see any of these people again, I knew that If I came back to Chichester ever again, maybe I would see Abby. Tom told me to go sit in the booth over by the right hand corner, so I made my way over to the booth, followed by Tom. I looked back at the others, wondering if they were going to come too. In the corner of my eye I saw Abby and Beard having a little make-out session in the store room. I nudged Tom, giving him the 'eyebrow' followed by me saying "Looks like their getting a bit steamy over there" smirking as well. "Oh yes, they've been together for along time, long before I even knew Goff, but they're a good couple, I just wish I could find someone that would make me as happy as Abby, but I'm sure my true love isn't too far away" said Tom, giving me the 'eyebrow' at the last part. I'm pretty sure he meant me, well I hope it was me he meant. "Oh Blondie, maybe I'll find my true love here in Chichester, I mean I already have my eye on someone who's not a million miles away." I chuckled.

*Tom's P.O.V*

I was enjoying being home a lot more than I thought I would. It's nice meeting someone new, and it's a bonus when they're pretty. Ok pretty was an understatement, Clara was beautiful, and I'm sure she has a great personality too. I thought bringing her to Abby's café would be a good idea, sort of like a first date. I was loving spending time with Clara, she seemed like a nice girl who didn't want me for my fame or my money. I definitely wanted to see Clara again.
