A Chance Encounter (Tom Holland AU) [1]

Twenty-Eight

We all spent the press tour just messing with each other, both during interviews and when we were by ourselves. There were definitely times when I had to step back and really take in what was going on. I was getting ready to premiere a movie.

We flew to New York for the premiere, and just knowing that I was getting ready for my first red carpet was nerve-wracking. Tom stayed with me until it was time to get ready, at which point we went our separate ways. He told me that he wanted to be surprised by my beauty on the carpet. Thankfully, the girls were with me to help my nerves. And, of course, Ali was ecstatic and all over Instagram.

user2 can't wait to see it on the 25th!

I took a deep breath as I read through the comments, a smile growing on my face. I also noticed a text from Tom as a stylist curled my hair.

I heard you're a tad nervous,
love. You've got absolutely
nothing to worry about. It's
going to be a great movie, 
I promise. I love you darling
😘  

I looked up at Zendaya, who winked gently. "You've got this, babe. We all think so."

I grinned as I sent a message to Tom back.

You're the fucking best,
babe. I love you so much
  😘 

After that, I set my phone down and took a deep breath, looking at myself in the mirror. "This is really happening," I whispered, and Beth took my hand gently.

"It is love. And you're going to be the best Stacy Adams the world has ever seen." She grinned, squeezing my hand softly.

"Thank you, little one," I whispered as I squeezed it back.

Once we were all done and ready, it was time to go to the premiere. Tom and I would be walking the carpet together and doing some red carpet interviews, but I wanted to spend the ride from the hotel to the theater with my guests. I was told I could bring four people to see the movie with me, and I, of course, brought the four people who had been with me through the whole process, both in person and via text; my parents, Ali and Beth. We just chatted and they guessed some of the plot points, trying to calm all of my nerves for what was happening today.

Once our car came to a stop, my breath hitched. Here we go. I stepped out to a barrage of cameras and pictures, putting a wide smile on my face as I waved and was escorted by a security guard to the start of the carpet. Ali, Beth, and my parents waved as they made their way to the end to wait for us.

That was where I saw Tom for the first time. He had been talking to Jacob, but once he looked over and saw me, he froze in his tracks. I smiled softly as I walked. "Hi there, baby."

"You look so fucking gorgeous." He whispered, pulling me into his arms and kissing me softly. I had made sure the artist used a practically bulletproof lipstick so it would still look good in pictures. Once he pulled away, he smiled. "You ready for some bomb-ass pictures?" 

I chuckled and nodded. He had spent so much time with Ali and I that he picked up some of our trademark catchphrases. "As ready as I'll ever be."

"I'll be with you the entire time." He whispered as we got to the start of the carpet, his arm snugly wrapped around my waist. I grinned and kissed his cheek as we stepped onto the carpet, being faced with many flashing lights. Our matching spider accessories that we had gifted each other for Christmas tied our looks together and just exemplified how awesome our relationship is.

Our first interview was a little surreal, to say the very least. "I'm here with Tom Holland and Grace Chance at the premiere of Iron Man 4. How are you both doing tonight?"

"I'm doing pretty well. I've been so nervous all day, but once I stepped on the carpet, it felt like all of that went away." I grinned, and Tom kissed my cheek gently.

"I'm doing great as well, yeah. Premieres are always exciting." Tom smiled, and the interviewer grinned.

"Now, it seems like every time we see you two together, you can't keep your hands off of each other. It's absolutely adorable, but is there any specific reason why?"

"Well, we've been long distance since shooting wrapped, so every chance we get, we take." He grinned as he kissed my cheek.

"Have you really?" The interviewer seemed shocked at Tom's answer.

"Yeah. We saw each other once between the end of shooting and like the middle of December." I looked up at him, kissing his cheek back. "I'm still in college, even with this whole crazy lifestyle that I stumbled upon, so we have to be long distance so I can study when school is in session." 

"That's actually incredible. Good luck to you and your studies!"

With every interview we completed, I opened up more and more. Once we got to the end of the carpet, I was met with a large group hug with all of my guests. "You did so well, sweetie." My mom smiled, wiping a tear gently. I chuckled softly as I wiped it away.

"Mom, you haven't even seen the movie yet." I grinned as she laughed and Tom grinned.

"Speaking of the movie, shall we?" He smiled, grabbing my hand softly and gesturing to the theater.

"We shall." I grinned, taking a deep breath and squeezing his hand as I laced our fingers. Here we go.

Yay for late night updates!! What do you think?
