Running into you...

Part 26

"Thanks Tom" I said smiling and we walked on. In order to not get wet I had to walk next to him obviously, but it was very near. "I am sorry if this is too near but if I wouldn't squeeze myself into your vicinity I would get wet big time." Why did I say big time? He definitely thinks I am weird now... Tom smirked. "What? I thought you just wanted to near to me?!" he said ironically and didn't even look at me, just kept his gaze straight forward. I laughed, probably a wrong moment to laugh, and kept on walking. Guys it was really difficult walking like this because first of all Tom nearly ran, I mean he isn't the tallest guy but believe me he can walk and second of all I didn't want to annoy him too much, he saw that I had problems sho he stopped walking and we all came to a halt. I probably looked like Quasimodo walking next to him. "Mmh, Julia lets try something, why don't you just..." I bursted out "...let go of you? Yeah sure I mean its not even raining anymore... see..." I stepped away from Tom and regretted it since it was literally raining cats and dogs. "What? Nooo... hahaha come back" Tom said laughing "if not you look like a wet dog" Jacob interrupted. So I stepped back under the jacket with wet hair looking exactly like a wet dog. "So I meant why don't you just put your arm around my waist?!" I looked at Kat and just saw her smirking so I rolled my eyes at her. "Ohh yeah I mean that was my second guess, for sure..." Jacob just said "sure" with a sarcastic undertone. "Well are you okay with that?" "Sure! No worries" he replied. I then put my right arm around him. "Better?" and it actually was so I just replied with "Perfect" and he grinned at me. We walked on for a bit until we were disturbed by some kind of flashlight. Was someone taking pictures of us four? "Let's just walk on, nothing to worry about" Tom said and no more flashlight appeared. We finally made it to my absolute favorite place in the whole of New York, Times Square. All those billboards and all these different people. It stopped raining so Tom stopped holding the jacket over our heads but I kinda missed the memo of letting go of him so I just stood there admiring all those huge screens until I realized that I was still holding onto him and I obviously had to let go. "Lord, I am sorry I completely forgot"I said whilst letting go of his waist. "Don't worry you could have left it there too" he said laughing. I turned bright red and looked away quickly to see a Kat holding up both her thumbs and mouthing "good job". I mouthed back "stop it Kat" and she turned around to take a picture of Jacob with a huge Pikachu. "Do you maybe want to take a picture? Tom asked getting out his phone. "Absolutely" so we took a few pictures and he actually posted to his Instagram story. "Hey guys I am in wonderful Times Square" he walked in a circle to show his surroundings and I ducked because I don't think people would want to see a mysterious girl on his story, at least I thought that. He continued talking "...with this young lady he- Julia where are you?" he laughed as he saw me ducking, he filmed it and we both laughed at how awkward I am. Was it good or bad that I was on his Instagram story now though? This question popped up in my mind a few times.
