Y/N P.O.V. 

I looked at the screen on my phone fixing my [hair color] bangs and checking that my outfit was in place. My [favorite color] sweater seemed to be smoothed out, and my black leggings and beanie were in place.

Is this the right amount of casual, or is it too casual... Eh, whatever.

When I glanced up, I saw Tom looking at me and snickering. "Having a fun time checking yourself out?"

"For your information... I just might be," I said with a grin. I started to walk up to him, but then remembered Alessandra. "Is Alessandra okay with this?"

"Alessandra? Why does Alessandra have to be okay with this?" he asked, raising his eyebrow.

"Well, she's your girlfriend, right? I hope you don't go around kissing a bunch of other girls," I said, laughing nervously. I certainly hope...

"No, and no," he said, running his fingers through his hair. Tom seems to pick up on my confusion. "I'm not dating anyone, plus when have I ever kissed anyone during the time of our movie shoot?" He laughs. Liar.

"Zendaya's party," I said, putting my arms behind me and walking slowly.

"Zendaya's party?" Tom pauses in thought for a moment before startling. "Oh, when Alessandra kissed me! She wants to get back together... But she did some things..." He trailed off and shook his head. "It's not about her anymore. I'm my own person."

"I never doubted you were. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't out of place."

Tom smiled. "That's sweet of you, Y/n. Thank you for caring, it means a lot."

I grinned back. "But for sure we're okay, right? Like, I can tell you that you look incredibly handsome today and I'm not stepping on another girl's turf."

"Yep, and I can tell you that you look lovely as well," Tom replied with a sly wink.

I felt myself blush immediately and looked down at my feet. An awkward silence flooded in for a few seconds before Tom cleared his throat and asked, "Anyways, should we get going?"

"Yes, definitely," I said, already heading the correct way.

I smiled and tried to shake the blush from my cheeks as I climbed in, Tom opening the door for me. A gentleman as always.

"Thank you," I said, sitting down in the seat.

"No problem," he told me, getting into the car as well. "Anything to help."

"So, where are we going?" I asked brightly.

"Surprise." He looked at me with a brilliant smile and started the car.

"Alrighty then." I looked around, then back at him as he kept his eyes glued to the road. Finally, I let my gaze travel up to the roof of the car and started humming.

"You really want to know, do you?" he asked, chuckling and looking at me in the rear-view mirror. Of course, I want to know!

"Not really." I tried to play it off, but my voice went higher as it always does when I'm lying.

"Y/n..." He groaned, dragging my name.

"Of course I do!" I exclaimed.

"Well, we're here now, so just stay in the car, please," he said, getting out of the car. "I'll show you in a minute. I think—well, I hope you'll really like it."

I simply hoped this wasn't some devious plan to rid of me. Pretend that he likes me then disappear: that would be mean. I didn't think Tom would do that though, not with his kind eyes and sweet smile, and... He opened my door and walked across me, reaching out to put something across my eyes that effectively blocked my vision.

"Woah, woah, woah!" I nearly shouted, freaking out about the sudden blindness and blushing at how close he was to me.

"Calm down." He chuckles faintly. "It's a surprise, right?"

"I suppose so."
