Real Life

Tom's Point of Veiw: First Person

            I walked into the interview for my Spider-Man movie, shook hands with the man interviewing me, grabbed some water, and sat down in my arm chair. The make up lady came in again and dabbed a little more powered on my nose which only made me sneeze. She kept apologizing and eventually went back stage again. I looked down at my phone and opened my messages and tried hiding my smile. 

Rainy Darling;)

I then notices the host coming towards me and i send one last text.

When do i not? dont answer that lmao

           "Tom! So glad you could make it!" the Good Morning talk host greets me, shaking my hand enthusiastically.   Her New York accent was thick but she had too much tan to be a new yorker meaning a) she does tanning beds/ spray tans or b) she just got back from somewhere warm. I slip my phone into my back pocket turning it on silent.  

"Of course!" I smile back. "Thank you for having me"

"Jennifer, we're live in 5.." the producer then counts down.

"Good morning America!" Jennifer beams at the camera. I try to hold back an eye roll and slump down in my arm chair. "And here with us is Tom Holland! Hey Tom!!" she giggles. "Hey, happy you could have me this morning. The coffee is definitely working." I throw in the joke. Jennifer laughs.

little longer into the interview, Jennifer then switches up the questions.  Out of no where she brings up Rainy. I wasn't expecting this so I sit up. "Tell us about you and this Maddie-Ray." she's very eager to get answers.

"Rai- Maddie-Ray" I correct myself "is a friend. We hang out occasionally," I say. "Friends huh?" she asks looking for more. "Tell me about the Gala." she says. I think back at how pretty she looked in that dress and her eyes in the candle light. I smile thinking about it, Jennifer notices and smirks.

"Well, it was successful-" I start.

"Yes, of course! But why have Maddie as your stunning date?" she interrupts.

I laugh "Simply because we were hoping to set our best mates up. And well Maddie enjoys those kind of things." I answer. All these questions were starting to piss me off a little.
