Rare; Fionn Whitehead

five

He hadn't planned on following her, nor liking her tweet. Some of the people he was following were replying to her tweet which meant it showed up in his twitter feed. When he saw her picture, he thought she was the most beautiful girl ever. Which is why he liked her tweets and followed her, and why he dmed her.

It's currently 12:37am in France. Fionn's eyes kept closing. He was so tired, but he wanted to stay up for her. Because he knows that she'll come back. His eyes slowly closed and his head fell down, his phone is still in his hand. Pictures start forming in his mind, becoming more and more visible. He's dreaming. Suddenly his phone vibrates making him jolt up. He blinked a few times to keep his eyes open. He unlocked his phone to see that she sent him a few messages, a smile grew on his face as he read the messages.

ali: hey!

ali: I'm sorry i didn't reply earlier, i would've but i was working. i work every tuesday and thursday from 9am to 3pm.

ali: if you're sleeping i completely understand

ali: have a good sleep x

His tired fingers slowly started writing a reply.

fionn: i was just about to sleep haha

fionn: well I'll keep that in mind for when you work

fionn: anyways I'm going to sleep now, goodnight x

Within seconds, she replied.

ali: goodnight fionn x

She smiled knowing he stayed awake for her. She's slowly falling for him, and not in a fangirling way, but in a real way. This scared her, he was a somewhat famous actor, currently filming Dunkirk. She had absolutely no idea what would happen once they finished filming the movie. If they would be busy in Hollywood, with fans chasing after them. Or if they would go back to their normal lives. Knowing he lived in England, also sucked. She lived in Los Angeles, and he lived in England. Both two completely different countries, thus meaning they could never see each other. Not that she thought anything would happen between them two anyways. So for now, she's going to try really hard not to fall for him.

She got off her soft comfy bed, sliding her feet into the softest slippers she had ever felt. Turning off her bedroom light she went downstairs to make some hot chocolate and a snack. Her parents wouldn't be home for another hour or so, so she had decided to spend this time catching up on her favourite series on netflix. She longed to watch netflix with Fionn, snuggling up to him in a comfy bed, without parents being there. But she knew this wouldn't ever happen, it isn't possible. He wouldn't even ever fall for her. While opening up a cupboard she got out a bowl and a cup. She decided to make a hot chocolate and some popcorn before walking back upstairs to her room. She put down her food and drink before making her bed more comfy and got the tv remote. After turning off her bedroom light she made herself comfy on her queen sized bed and chose a series to watch before getting her food.

"Hey honey" her mother said making her jump.

"Oh sorry didn't mean to scare you" her mum said.

"Anyways dinner will be ready soon" Her mum added to her sentence before walking off.

It didn't surprise her much, everyday was the same routine. Her parents leave at 9am, come back at 6pm. Make dinner, have dinner and then they sit together watching tv until they go to bed. Sometimes Alice would join them but most of the time she didn't, her parents apparently love each other but they always seem to bicker. And every time they sit together watching tv half of the time they don't even watch it, they just complain about their work day. Which is why she stopped sitting with them watching tv. She sighed and continued watching her show, but there was one thing that wouldn't leave her mind. It followed her everywhere, no matter what she did it stayed on her mind. And that was Fionn. She wondered how she got this lucky, he could've liked anyones tweet, followed anyones account, dmed anyone. But he chose her. And she felt like the goddanm luckiest girl alive because of it.

After dinner she was back in her room. Her room felt warm and cosy, she felt so comfortable in there which made her love being in there. Her left hand wrapped around the vertical handle of her cupboard sliding it open. She got out some warm comfy clothes and got changed into them. When she was finally changed she got her phone that is lying on her bed to check the time. 8:03pm. She wondered what time it would be in France right now, so she got onto the clock app and gets onto the world clock. 5:03am. Would he be awake right now? She decided to watch a movie and once the movie had finished to message him. Her body fell onto her bed and she laid there staring at the bare white ceiling above her, after a while she made herself comfortable and chose to watch Dirty Dancing. It's definitely her favourite movie in the whole wide world, she could watch it over and over again and not get bored.

Finally, the credits played. Her eyes are heavy, she could feel herself getting tired. But she was determined to stay up and message Fionn. It's 9:51pm. Which meant it would be 7:51am in France right now. Hoping Fionn is awake she starts typing him a message.

ali: hey fionnnnn

ali: you awake?

ali: it's almost 10pm here in los angeles so it'd be almost 8am where you are

After about 15 minutes, he finally replied.

fionn: hey ali!

fionn: i just woke up lmao

They continued to talk for hours, nonstop. Fionn didn't have to rehearse today, he had a day off. But he woke up early especially for Alice, so he could talk to her. They ended up exchanging numbers so that they could call, a lot had been said in these few hours. But there's still so much to say. He's falling for her, slowly but deeply. She's falling for him, she's trying to stop herself but it isn't working very well. Finally at 2am Los Angeles time and 11am France time they hang up. Her heart strings were being pulled with. She went to bed with a big smile on her face, feeling happier than ever. He got out of bed with a big smile on his face, he went to take a shower. A simple thing he had never enjoyed more.

Sorry if this book is boring so far, it'll get better soon ♡.
