Rare; Fionn Whitehead

six

Two weeks. They had been talking for two weeks now, they call each other whenever they have time. Otherwise their conversations are in text. She had learned a lot about him already, and he had learned a lot about her already. She found out that once he'd finish filming Dunkirk, he'd go back to England. To which, her heart slightly sunk. She secretly hoped that he would move to Los Angeles. But of course he wouldn't, he's not like that. He's a normal human being who acts but for the rest, lives a normal life at his home.

"Hello" he said through the phone.

"Fionn.." she said.
The way she said his name is so soothing and calming. He loved her voice, he thought she sounded like an angel.

"How are you?" he asked while playing with his thumb.

"I am great, what about you?" she answered, looking out the window of her apartment.

"I'm wonderful now that I'm talking to you" he said making her smile.

"How was your day?" he asked genuinely interested in how her day went.

"Well, like usual i went to that cafe that i love and read my book" she said laughing.

"And then after that, i went home like usual. Nothing interesting" she said continuing her sentence.

"I'm sure your day was interesting, how are your parents?" he asked.

He didn't know her parents, but he's just interested in her life. He wanted to get to know her as much as he can.

"How they are always" she said with a sigh.

He could tell her parents were bothering her, he wanted to go over to her right away and hug her. She was lonely, her best friend was always working and going to university so she could never see her. Other than that everyone else she knows lives ages away, meaning she's lonely. Especially with her parents always working.

"I wish i could be with you right now" he said making her smile.

"I wish you could be with me right now as well" she replied.

They continue to talk for hours, having conversations about anything and nothing.
He was falling for her, very fast. And so was she. But neither of them seemed to confess their feelings towards each other. He wanted to wait until he met her, and then confess his feelings for her. She was afraid, he lived in a completely different country and he's a rising actor. She didn't see how that could ever work out. But she was falling for him so quickly, except she kept pushing her feelings away. Denying her thoughts, and not listening to her heart.

After four hours of talking on the phone they finally hung up. It was once again 2am in Los Angeles. Alice yawned while turning off her phone. She leaned over to the left side of her queen sized bed to turn the warm string lights above her bed off. She laid there, staring at the just visible ceiling. Her heart raced and a smile grew on her face as she thought of Fionn and every conversation they shared tonight. After a while, she gave in to the tiredness, letting her heavy eyes slowly close.

When he hung up he looked down at his phone screen smiling, his phone was open to their messages. He was falling for her, very quickly. His finger pushed the off button of his phone and the screen goes black. Seconds later he heard a knock on his hotel room door so he got up off his bed and walked over to the door. He opened the door and saw a tall guy with curly hair that had been cut recently standing behind the door. Harry.

"Hello" Fionn said with a smile.
Him and Harry had grown very close these last few weeks, Harry's probably one of his best friends ever.

"Well are you going to let me in or what?" Harry said crossing his arms.

"Oh right, come in" He said while moving out of the way to let Harry in.

"So, what have you been up to on this day off?" Harry asked while sitting down on his bed.

"Just some things" He said looking down and playing with his fingers to try and hide his smile.

"Boy i know you well enough now to know when something good has happened, tell me all about it" Harry said with a grin.
He walked over to Harry, sitting in the chair in front of his bed, facing Harry.

"I talked to that girl again" Fionn said trying not to smile but failing.

"Gosh, you must really like her" Harry teased.

"I do, but i haven't told her. And i won't until i meet her" he said looking at the wooden floors beneath him.

"Why? When are you guys meeting each other?" Harry asked.

"Well, I want it to be special you know" he sais playing with his fingers.

"I want to take her out on a date, then when the moment is right, to tell her" he said finishing his sentence.

"You're such an old school but i guess it's adorable" Harry laughed.

"When are you two meeting though?" Harry asked.

He founs that Harry always asked so many questions, but he didn't mind all to much.

"We haven't really planned it yet but she said she would come to the movie premier in Los Angeles, and i said I'd make sure i get to meet her then" he said smiling.

"What if you guys start dating though? Are you okay with a long distance relationship? You know since you'll be in England and she'll still be in Los Angeles" Harry asked genuinely concerned.

"I'll be fine Harry, I'll make sure I'll bring her to England sometime" He assured.

"You know once this movie comes out you'll be famous right? You'll have paparazzi everywhere" Harry said.

"Yes i know Harry, and i know she may not want that. But it hasn't happened yet okay? Let's just wait and see how everything goes" He said getting the slightest bit agitated.

Harry sighed, "okay, but I'm here if you need to talk" Harry said.

He slightly laughed as he realized he was talking to Harry about every problem that could happen once him and Alice date. But they haven't even confessed their feelings towards each other. He doesn't even know if she has feelings for him. They may never even date.
