Chapter 8- Pub Garden

Sorry its been a while, i have been busy and this part is v long so enjoy!!!!

Samantha POV-

We arrived home, home in London where I dreamed to be for long! God I missed it! I went home to my parents house whom where actually away on holiday, I got in the shower to freshen up and time was ticking on. I rang a taxi whilst I was doing my make up to get me to kingston. I put on a floral playsuit and curled my hair. I didn't want to look too fancy but fancy enough! I slid on my sparkly sandals and headed out the door. I was so excited yet nervous to meet Tom again. He's so attractive and sweet, squeezed my phone in excitement and texted my girls group chat explaining where I'm going to share my excitement. 

Toms POV- 

I was getting ready to meet Samantha when I got a text from Mum to pop round quick to pick something up. Its probably my mail and some of it still gets delivered to my parents house. I walked round to my old house since it's so close and let myself  in. "Hello?" I shouted round the house, I walked in to the kitchen to see Mum and Dad, "you look nice!" Mum said. "thanks, what did I need to collect?" She dried her hands on tea towel and gave me a bunch of letters. Sam and his girlfriend Elysia walked in, they both clearly emerged from bed as they were still in their pjs. "morning sam!" i laughed. "leave us be, we were out last night and we came in late." Sam defended.

 "Where are you off to?" Sam asked. "Oh I'm going to the pub." "With Harrison?" Mum asked. I paused for a moment, they get a little giddy when they find out if theres a new girl in my life. "No actually someone else." I didn't give much away. "Who?" they all looked curious. "It's Samantha Jones, the singer..." Elysia shot up from where she was sat. "omg you're kidding??" "no why?" "she's a fan" Sam laughed. Harry then walked in, "hi everyone!" "Tom is going on a date with Samantha Jones!" Sam laughed. "Samantha Jones? Oh I know her, days Tom she's a bit out of you're league!" Harry joked.  I rolled my eyes, "Where you taking her?" Harry asked. "to the pub." Sam answered for me. "Are you serious?" Harry laughed. "yes it's causal, its fine and its not really a date anyway. She's gonna be in the new spiderman film and I wanted to get to know her." I explained. "Can we join you?" Elysia asked. "ahah no! I'm meeting the girl for the first proper time, I can't have you all turn up a ruin it!" "but if its not a date, what are we ruining?" Harry said. I didn't know what to say, I checked my watch, she would be arriving any minute. "I've gotta go now anyway. See you later." I walked out and thought to myself, is this a date? I have I asked her on a date? Do I like her in that way? I think I do, as soon as the word date was bought up I did feel quite happy. 

Samantha's POV-

"We're here" the driver said, I paid him and got out. It was a small quaint pup, I could hear faint music and chatter. I pushed through the heavy door and made my way to the bar, I ordered myself a gin with blackcurrant and lemonade. As I stood at the bar I scanned the room to see if I could see Tom, "that'll be £4.25 please" the bartender said. I reached for my purse in my bag, "I'll get that" I heard a familiar voice. I looked up from my bag and Tom was standing right next to me, he was wearing denim shorts and a dark blue button up shirt. A smile formed on my face, "Umm hi, you don't have to pay for me!" I ordered. "Nope I will and can I also have a pint of Stella please mate?" We fought for a moment who will pay for the first round of drinks which Tom won but I insisted on getting the next round. 

We made our way outside to pub garden, the sun was shining and the pub was quite busy. "So Sammie tell me how you got into music?" Tom asked. "Well it all started when I was younger, I was bought up around lots of music, my dad was a DJ, my grandad played drums, my nan was in a gosbell choir and my brother plays piano and gutair. I loved to sing from a young age but I never had the confidence to sing in front of people, I was so shy and then I went to drama school and confidence built from then on but I was still kinda afraid. But I was 'discovered' in a karaoke bar when I was out in London for my friends birthday." I loved how Tom was immediately so interested in me and my career. He also looked so good, I tried to play it cool and not act too in to him just in case he seriously wanted to get to know me on a professional basis.
