Webs And Wishes - Tom Holland

Chapter 2.

Since its's Christmas and I'm feeling generous, I wanted to treat y'all to another chapter this week! Yay! Enjoy the kiss 😂.

Day 2 continued.
Lily's POV

All I could think was 'why is he kissing me?' His lips were pulling at mine, both molding to each other's shape. Shock turned into lust and I pushed back, our bodies oh so close together, moving back and forth as one. I could feel his strong jaw moving next to mine. He was hot, so hot, fire rising up from within me to meet his heat. His hand laced into my chocolate brown hair, clawing at me as though he wanted more. My hands grabbed his waist, feeling the hard muscle beneath his shirt. I pulled him closer, not noticed the other people in the room. Suddenly, he pulled away. My lips swollen and my breathing uneven, I wondered what the hell just happened.

"Thank you... We'll call you when we know who got the job." He was also panting a little, his chest rising and falling much faster under his shirt.

I want to get under that shirt...

Stop! That was just for auditioning purposes. He probably does that to all the auditioners. I almost ran out of the room, still panting, still relishing the taste of his lips on mine.

Tom's POV

I tried to focus on the other auditions, I really did. Yet I couldn't get rid of the feeling of her lips, the feeling of her body pushing against mine.

I knew Lily was the one.

After a long day of uninteresting auditions, we wrapped it up. The director just turned to me and said:

"We know exactly who we want to pick. Looks like you're good at this - you did kiss her." He chuckled at me.

My heart bounced in my chest. I was so glad all had gone well. I really couldn't wait until the next script reading when she would be there.

Day 3
Lily's POV

I woke up at  midday to the phone ringing.

"Damn it!"

Throwing myself out of bed, I answered the phone.

"Hi, is this Lily Carson?" A female voice said from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, who is this?" I said sleepily.

"This is Amanda Green calling to tell you that you got the role you auditioned for yesterday." I could hear her smile from the other end of the line.

My breath hitched. "Really?"

"Yes really."

I nearly got up and danced right then and there, but held myself together for long enough to thank her and hang up.

"Oh my god, I got the part!" I squealed, dancing around my city flat. You wouldn't think a sixteen year old would be living on her own, but my parents were never in so I practically was. They were in Indonesia right now, but I didn't care. I got the part!

All I had to do now was figure out how to act like a perfectly functioning human being in front of Tom Holland.

Who kissed me...

Day 4
Tom's POV

The second script reading today. I was surprised the crew were getting everything done so fast, but with the director being in hospital a couple months ago, we had started worryingly late.

I knew who was there today. Yet even among all the a-list celebrities like Robert Downey Jr. my mind was drawn towards Lily Carson...

I told myself to get it over with and left the house, trying to push all thoughts of her to the back of my mind.

Lily's POV

My first ever script reading. Everyone was going to be there - including Tom. I just realised I think of him by his first name now, but I guess that's what happens when he snogs you in the middle of your audition.

No, stop thinking about that. It was just to see how it would look, nothing more, nothing less.

I rushed out, completely forgetting to put makeup on and thanking my clear skin. Pushing all thoughts of him to the back of my mind, I began to walk to the building.

Tom's POV

Lily walked in with a fresh face, looking even better than yesterday. She's just a coworker, I told myself. Nothing else. A colleague. She looks so young... I knew what it was like to look young for your age, since I was playing someone six years younger than me, but she looked no older than sixteen rather than eighteen.

She began to sit at one of the chairs near the end of the table, looking up at me wide-eyed as she did so. I motioned for her to sit next to me, even though I knew the director wouldn't be very happy about it. To my surprise, he nodded approvingly. Strange...

I could smell her. She was so close, I could smell roses and some other underlying fruity scent beside me. Mmm, she smelled good. Mentally kicking myself, I noticed that everyone was here, and the script began to play out.

Lily's POV

For the majority of the script, I could just sit back and watch Tom. No, everyone, not just him. I was starstruck, that must be it. At least, I tried to tell myself that, but I still couldn't take my eyes off him.

My line.

I fumbled with my script, but managed to regain myself quick enough for no-one to notice.

"Oh! Hello." This was it.

"Did I scare you?" Tom laughed. Oh, the script was so fitting.

"No, of course not." I giggled, earning myself an impressed nod from the director. He thought I was acting, but I wasn't about to correct him.

"How come I've never seen you before?" Tom said. Oh he was so gorgeous. The feeling of his hard muscle was still lingering on my hands.

We continued like that, unsure of whether what we were saying was real or still in the script. Then, again, the script said we were supposed to kiss.

I knew we were supposed to skip past it. I knew it was just a direction, and I could've avoided it. Yet I was already missing his lips, so guess what I did?

I kissed him. Again.
