First Met (Tom Felton Fan Fic)

Chapter 4

Tom's P.O.V

I hoped that Zara didn't think I was weird, I didn't blame her if she did, a random person what's to take her out to lunch just to get to know her! But I shoved the thought aside as the waiter came along to take our orders "Good after noon my name is Charles and I will be your waiter for today, what would you both like to order?" you could tell that this guy was trying to sound as calm as possible as he kept on staring at me and going red... "Can I have the classic steak burger with an appletiser please" I then looked across the table to see Zara biting her lip on deciding what to have "Hey, don't worry about how much it is, I'm happy to pay for whatever you want, it's my treat to you!" Zara smiled at me gracefully "Thanks.. Ummm, can I have the steak and marine salad with some sparkling water please" The waiter wrote down our orders and took another look at me and said "Thank you very much, your meals will be here soon!" and he quickly scurried off.

"So, Zara what were you thinking of getting up to in Barcelona then?"

She fiddled with her thumbs and looked down at the table, I guess she was a little shy but then she looked back up to answer "Well, I'm not really sure, I think I will probably be coming to this beach quite a lot, but also go to the malls, city centres and a water park"

"That sounds great! I heard that there is a pretty awesome water park nearby, I think it's called MarineLand Catalunya, other than it being a water park it has lots of sea creatures to look at including sea lions! I haven't been yet but I would love to go there at some point!"

"Well it does sound very interesting, and I would love to go but unfortunately my mum has a phobia of quite a few sea creatures, she says she just thinks they look scary, especially when you look into their eyes apparently but it doesn't bother me, I've always found it so fascinating looking at them, they are so beautiful to see..." She started to daze of, probably about how wonderful the water park would be, then it hit me, maybe we could go together? But would she what to go with me, yes she knows who I am but we haven't met properly for a while, maybe I'll ask her later...

As Zara was staring into space thinking about the water park I looked at her radient face, it was full of colour from the sun, a lovely golden brown and her curly brown hair glistened in the light, it so smooth and soft it kind of made me want to reach out and stroke it, but the best part of her face was her lips and eyes...her eyes were a perfect shape, her bottom part of the lip bigger than the top and were a magnificent natural red...I wonder what it's like kissing them...oh stop it Tom! She probably just wants to be friends, besides she is so beautiful that she wouldn't want to go out with someone like me, there are lots of other guys out there who are better looking than me. As I kept day dreaming about how pretty Zara was I noticed someone shaking my shoulder?

"U-Uh Sir? Your meal...is here? Are you OK?" I shook my head from my thoughts and went back into reality, realising my steak burger was on the table and Zara was looking at me concerned, while the waiter Charles gave me a weird look...oh..

"I'm fine! So sorry, I was just...uh...thinking! Yes just thinking about what to do after lunch that's all!" the waiter walked off and I made an inwardly sigh of relief, Zara began to eat her food and moaned delightfully, as did I, this steak burger was absolutely exquisite!! It was probably the best steak burger I have ever had!

"Thank yo so much for this Tom, the food..it's just, amazing!!" she giggled and continued enjoying her steak and marine salad, it looked really tasty it had crab, bits of lobster and prawns with a colourful, spicy salad dressing! I took my final bite of my burger and I slumped back, I was stuffed! Zara then did the same and then made a huge burn! She went bright red and couldn't stop apologising where as I was just in peels of laughter, gosh she is so funny, I love seeing her embarrassed!

After calming down from my fit of laughter I paid the waiter and we made our way back near the pool when we bumped into a couple about their forties and Zara seemed like she knew them, they were probably her parents! "I'm so sorry, I'm so clumsy sometimes!" they smiled at me and the woman replied "That's alright dear! Zara, why didn't you call me to say you were going off with Tom Felton?" her cheeks went a shade of red and looked down feeling guilty "I'm sorry...we were just having lunch.."

I then stepped in to say "Mrs Wild, I'm very sorry it's not her fault, it's mine, I suggested taking her to the steak, it was all my idea" she patted me in the shoulder and Mr Wild gave me a comforting smile "No worries lad! It's alright, as long as we know where Zara is we are happy, just take good care of her OK?"

"Of course sir" I replied, Zara's parent seemed really nice, and didn't seem too angry actually which was a relief!

Then I thought about me and Zara going to that water park!

"Um Zara? Mr and Mrs Wild? I was wondering, me and Zara were talking about water parks and there is one called MarineLand Catalunya, it has lots of water slides and sea creatures, and I know that we both want to go, so could I take her there tomorrow maybe, if Zara wants to?" As soon as I said that she squealed and started to tug her parents arms "Please can I go! I would really like to!"

Her dad laughed and rubbed her head "I don't see why not, it's only 20 minutes from here and I'm sure you'll be safe and it will be even better swing as your going with Tom Felton eh!" she groaned with embarrassment and I laughed at her face going red again and her mum nodded her head in agreement "So it's settled then! You guys go to a water park while me and your dad go shopping or something!" Zara hugged her parents and had a massive grin stuck to her face "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!"
