Falling For Mischief - Book One in The Hollywood Gambles Series {UNDER EDITING}

7 - Dating the Famous

Lani's P.O.V.

You know that moment when the guy in your class that you liked in high school noticed you and came and talked to you for the first time? Or your first kiss? This, by far beats all those moments! My celebrity crush told me that he loved me and he KISSED ME! 

"So how was your night?" Chris's voice snapped me from the trance that I had somehow managed to put myself into. I looked at Elsa and the look on her face said it all. She knew. I don't know how, but she knew. Is there something on my face that gives it away? OMG! There isn't lipstick on his lips is there? I managed a quick look at Toms face with earned a confused glance from him. I let out a mental sigh of relief when I couldn't find any evidence of our..... endeavors. Phew. But how does she know?

I looked back at Elsa who was now smirking and gave her a confused glance. She waved me into the kitchen. I looked at Tom and then started walking into the kitchen.

"He kissed you didn't he?" She asked quietly. This woman must be psychic or something.

"How could you tell?" I was smiling as I spoke. I have no reason to lie to her. Her smile got even wider and embraced me in a tight hug. I was in shock for a moment before hugging her back.

"You had the look. Every girl who is kissed by someone that they have feelings for always has the same look you had walking into the house." I blushed. Was it really that obvious?

"It's not a bad thing right? I mean I've only known him for 1 day! 1 freaking day and i have been kissed by my celeb crush. Elsa, this won't last. He's an actor. I'm a primary school teacher. I will end up having to go back to Australia after the 3 weeks and continue teaching." I was so confused. Yes, I had feelings for Tom, but our worlds were two completely different worlds. 

"You love him don't you?" Her question got me off guard. 

"I do, more than anyone else that I've ever been with." 

"Then i don't see why you two can't make this work. Just take it one day at a time." I could hear the wisdom in her words but i still had my doubts.

"Yes but-"

"No buts Lani. Just take it one day at a time" She places a hand on my shoulder. "Chris and I are here to help you if ever you need it." I pull her into another hug. I hear someone clear their throat from behind me. I turn and smile when I see Chris and Tom standing in the doorway. 

I run over to Chris and hug him. He hugs me back spinning me around a few times. "I'm so proud of you Lani." He whispers in my ear. I can't help but smile and sneak a look at Tom as he comes to a stand still. 

I pull away from Chris and turn towards Tom, who stands from his position of leaning against the doorframe, and smile at him. I run over to him as I had done with Chris and hugged him. He didn't spin me around - which i was half grateful and half disappointed at - but I loved just being in his embrace. He kissed the top of my head making me giggle quietly at the gesture.

"Well, I'd say that we have all had an eventful day." Elsa spoke up. I turned my head to the side and leaned my ear against Tom's chest. I smiled when I heard his heartbeat. "I'm gonna call it a night. I'll see you lot in the morning." I could see it in her eyes that she was tired.

"Night, Elsa." She smiled at me and walked out to the bedroom. Chris bid us a goodnight not too long afterwards and walked out, leaving me still in the warm and loving embrace with Tom.

I could feel my eyes starting to droop shut as I started to doze off against his chest. Tom must have noticed because before I can protest, he has lifted me into his arms and carried me into my room.
