The "Hangout"

We walked side by side in the breezy afternoon at the sidewalks of New York City. We kept bumping our shoulders, our hands kept grazing each other. I couldn't take it, my hand touching his but not holding it. I took a brave risk and held his hand. His eyes kept darting to my eyes to our connected hands. A smile crept to his face slowly and looked forward. He was wearing a hoodie and a pair of sunglasses to avoid being mobbed by the public. So there I went, hand in hand with Finn Wolfhard and nobody realizes it.

We reached his hotel and it was much bigger than mine. He let go of my hand before entering the lobby and to be honest, I felt really sad about it. He lead me to the elevators by the right side of the lobby. Even the elevator seemed more fancier than ours. We rocketed up to the 25 floor and I got really queasy for some reason. When we reached the floor, I stumbled out and almost fell but Finn caught me. He caught me by the underside of my armpits. I looked at him and smile. He smiled back at me. He lifted me up and then rubbed the back of his neck. "Come on, my room is over here."

I went inside and my jaw dropped to the polished wood floor. It was huge, like 3 times  bigger than mine. "Wow." I just say. "Oh I forgot, my family is off somewhere else so we have the whole place to ourselves." he smirks at me. I blush a little.

He opens his room and it was decorated like a normal hotel. He had a queen size bed with a polished wooden desk at the side. I seen his signature guitar on Instagram before but there, in the corner, was sitting on its stand. Finn seems to notice me gawking at it and got it. "Want me to play a song?"

I could not believe what he asked me. "YES!" I squealed.

"Ok, ok. You don't have to squeal so loud. What song?"

I thought carefully before picking it out. "Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran."

"Ah, good choice."

I sat down on his bed and he started playing his guitar. He was amazing at playing the guitar. He got every single note correct in the song. Then he started singing. His voice was like an angel's, smooth and clear. I was in such a trance at his talent, other than his acting. I started to join him with singing.

When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks
And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Oh me I fall in love with you every single day

And I just wanna tell you I amSo honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are
When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mm
I know you will still love me the same
'Cause honey your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen
Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand
But baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are, oh
So baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh maybe we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are.


After we finished, we looked at each other and just stared at each other's eyes. He was just an amazing person. He had so many talents and his personality is so sweet, slightly rebellious. I just want to be with him. I got lost in his eyes for the longest time, it seemed like hours. My heart was beating faster than race car. Okay, never mind that sounded so cheesy but it was beating like crazy.

He looked away, breaking the trance we had. He was rubbing his hand together. "You have a great voice." he says a minute after. Did he just compliment me? "Y-you too." was all I could muster out.

"Thanks."

He sat down next to me on his bed. We started to talk about our personal lives. I talked about my family, school, my friends and such.

"I could only come here to New York because I won a radio contest?"

"What? Really?" he says with disbelief.

"Yeah, I had to answer three Stranger Things trivia questions to win and I won. I could bring two people so I brought my mother and Izzat. I wanted to bring the rest of my family but they were busy."

"Oh."

There was a moment of silence before I started up again.

"I actually auditioned for the role of Eleven."

"Really? Too bad you didn't get it. Emmy just isn't really that friendly or kind to anyone on set. When she helped you in the back room yesterday, I had a bad feeling about it. But with you, I can trust you and rely on you. I get why Izzat is so easy-going around you."

We continued to talk like that for an hour and a half. He had such an interesting back story behind his career and fame. We decided to watch a movie. He had a number of movies on his main room T.V. I picked IT (2017), a movie he starred in. "Why IT? Is it to see me?" he joked. I shoved him lightly and laughed.

"I never seen it before, okay?"

He put it on and we sat down on the couch. It was pretty scary and had a lot of jump scares. Every minute, I either jumped on Finn or grabbed his arm. "Did you pick this movie to just touch me?" he joked. We continued to watch the movie but I started to feel my eyelids get heavy. I leaned on his shoulder and started to doze off.

I listened to the muffled sound of the movie and Finn's breathing before I fell in a deep slumber.
