New to the Neighborhood: A Tom Holland Story

Part 8

Y/N POV:
     "Tom, Y/n, dinner is ready," Sam shouted from the downstairs.
     "Race you down," Tom challenged as he started to sit up.
     "You're on," you responded jumping up from the bean bag and sprinting out the door.
     "Hey! I didn't say go yet," Tom whined as he ran behind you. You dashed downstairs as the boys came into sight. Once your feet hit the hardwood floor, your socks caused you to slide across the floor. As you lost your balance, you started to fall backwards until you felt a pair of arms catch you. You get lifted up and realized that Sam was the one who caught you.
     "Thanks Sam," you uttered in gratitude.
     "No problem Y/n," Sam replied as he released you from his arms. You turned around to see Tom standing at the end of the stairs, jaws clenched. He gave a death stare towards Sam as to say 'back off.' When he realized that you noticed his expression, he immediately tried to disguise his jealousy with a smile.
     As he tried to play it off, he casually asked, "What's for dinner?"
     "Steak and vegetables," Sam answered.
     "Looks delicious," you remarked.
     "I made it myself," Sam added with a smile. You follow Tom and Sam as they guide you towards the table. The table was nicely set up with all the utensils perfectly in place. As you approached your chair, Tom kindly pulled out the chair from under the table and allowed you to sit in the chair.
     He pushed your chair in as you blushed and thanked, "Why thank you."
     Tom responded, "Anytime darling." When he said, "darling," your heart fluttered and butterflies filled your stomach.
     Tom grabbed your glass and questioned, "What would you like to drink?"
     You answered, "Just some water please." He nodded as he walked over to the fridge to get you some water. After a couple of seconds, he returned with your cold iced water and seated himself next to you. Across from you sat Sam and next to him, Harrison. Harry was at the head of the table.
     Once you were all sitting at the table, Sam inquired, "I cooked the steak medium, if that's okay with you."
     "It's perfect," you reply smiling. As you eat, you wondered what Tom was doing here and not in England.
     "So what brings you here to California as you guys are obviously not from here," you chuckled.
     "Well, I'm here for work for a couple months, so I decided to bring my brothers and best friend along," Tom declared. You wanted to ask more about the job, but chose not to let your curiosity take over.
     Instead you questioned, "That's nice, so where are you originally from?" You already knew the answer, but you asked anyway.
     "We're from England," Harry proclaimed.
     "Oh, that explains the accents," you remarked.
     "So what about you? What brings you to California," Harrison inquired.
     "I've actually lived in California my whole life," you explain.
     Sam comments, "That's cool, California seems like an amazing place to live."
     You sigh, "Yeah I guess, it's not really what everyone thinks it's like, but I love the warm weather."
     "I know what you mean. If we were back in England, we would probably be freezing our tits off," Tom laughed.
     Trying to create conversation, Harrison questioned, "So what are some of your interests?"
     "Well, I enjoy photography. I mainly photograph landscapes and people," you declared.
     "Oh that's cool I love photography too," Harry added with excitement.
     "I'll have to show you some of my favorite places to take photos," you said.
     "Sure, that would be fun," Harry remarked. After we finished dinner, we went up to the movie room. In addition to the bean bags, they had a large couch. You were positioned in between Tom and Harrison. Sam and Harry were seated on the other side of Harrison.     
     Breaking the silence, Sam asked, "So what should we watch?"
