11:40 am.

Was she early? Her hands were sweaty and her heart was beating so fast she couldn't breathe properly.
This is a terrible idea her head was just spinning in that sentence.
He wasn't going to show up, he was just messing with you, he had other things to do, this and many other things popped into her head as her feet went up and down rhythmically, Charlie has been sitting down for 10 minutes now, she had very decisive about leaving but it was only 11:53, 7 more minutes if he didn't show up she would leave and tell herself to not have high hopes about celebrities again.
She groaned and set her head on her hands, feeling anxious and desperate.

"Charlie" he heard her name being called behind her, to turn around and look at Tom with a cap on and sunglasses, casual looking and a smile on his face, suddenly her heart went crazy "Hi, how long have you been here?" he asked her once she was in front of her

Standing up she just smiled back "Like 5 minutes or so" of course she wasn't going to tell him she has been sitting there for good 20 minutes, Tom's hands wrapped around her body to hug her, hugging him back she felt like she couldn't breathe and she wasn't, a habit of her when she gives hugs just cause she's scared of the physical contact that come as a surprise to her

"It's nice to see you again" his british accent was making her nervous, more. Charlie was about to sit down when Tom made his way to the cashier. She forgot why they met here for a moment, walking behind him Charlie just stood at the back, not sure if it was a good idea being seen next to him, and he saw that, Tom moved aside to be next to her smiling at the shortest one.

"What can I get for you two?" a young female with the uniform said with a smile

Tom looked at Charlie with a smile pointing out she was the first one to talk "A cheeseburger with french fries please" her voice said as her eyes looked at the other female

"I will get the same for me please" Tom said afterwards looking at the female too

"Alright here are your cups and your ticket, once they call out your number you can pick up here, enjoy"

Both of them smiled and took a seat in a cubicle near the pick up, it wasn't long enough until Charlie heard someone calling out her name

"Charles, hi" a female voice said behind her making the brunette turn around to see and old friend of her with smile "How are you?" the other brown eyes asked her getting close to her

"I am good is nice to see you Emma, this is Tom. Tom this is Emma" Charlie said introducing both of them with a smile "She's a friend of mine from high school"

"Nice to meet you, aren't you Spider-man?" she questioned the male who was sitting across her and nodded "Well, would i be annoying if I sat down just to take a picture with her?"

"No go ahead, I will just wait for the food" Tom answered back ad just sat down looking at both females who were taking a picture

"number 86" a voice over the speakers said, Tom stood up and went for the food to come back and see Charlie smiling at him all by herself. Sitting down both grabbed their respective burgers and started eating

There were moments Charlie or Tom would take their phone out and take pictures of themselves or of each other just goofing around and joking

"Okay so was it awkward wearing the Spider-man suit?" Charlie said eating the last piece of french fry she had on her plate

"Of course, I had to wear a thong, and the suit wasn't very comfortable with that" Tom chuckled and hide his face into his hands

Charlie laughed and almost choked on the last piece of the fry, her hand covered the mouth to stop the laughters getting out of her lips, both of them continued to laugh nothing else said between them.

"I can't imagine you with a thong, I really can't" Charlie continued to say with chuckles between the words

"Don't make fun of me Kingsley, I looked great, anyways, what about you, interested in making it into Hollywood in any way?"

"I wanted to be in a tv show, but I don't know, I haven't found an audition or something"

"maybe I can help you, I can get you a manager and help you out finding auditions" Tom spoke with the smile that brought happiness to Charlie

"I would love that Tom, thank you. Also how or why would you help me?" Charlie questioned

"I want to help you out because I believe everyone should follow their dreams, and if that would make you happy, then I would love to see you happy"
