Southern Girl and A Star (a Taron Egerton fanfiction)

Chapter 3 Lazy Day

I was so exhausted from all the excitement over the past two days. Thankfully it was Sunday which means no chores or work and I could sleep in. I found myself dreaming about Taron that night. In my dream we were walking hand in hand on a beautiful beach watching the sun set. When he leaned in to kiss me I woke up. " dang it" I said to myself. When I looked around at the clock it was after twelve p.m. I was surprised my mom didn't come and wake me up sooner. I crawled out of bed went downstairs to the kitchen to make me something to eat.
Mom was doing up the dishes from breakfast she saved me a bowl of my favorite biscuits and gravy on the table. I put the bowl in the microwave to heat it up. I went up to mom and hugged her "good afternoon mom thanks for saving me breakfast. Why didn't you come get me up?" I asked. " I did come to your room to check on you but you were sleeping so peaceful I didn't want to wake you." I ate my biscuits and gravy then went back to my room to watch some tv.
I got on my phone and noticed there was a text from Taron. He texted me really early while I was sleeping and dreaming about him. The message said " I really enjoyed talking to you last night Katie. If you don't have any plans today I would like to talk to you again." I am still overwhelmed just thinking he wants to talk to me again. I sent him a message back. " hey sorry I am just now waking up. I don't have plans today I was just going to watch some movies." Within a few seconds he replied " well then sleeping beauty I would love to watch a movie with you" I began to laugh and messaged back " how are we gonna do that?" Suddenly a FaceTime request came through. I was still in my pajamas thank goodness I at least pulled my hair back so I didn't look to bad. I heisted to answer but I did.
When I saw him I smiled. He smiled back. He was wearing a t shirt and a pair of sweatpants. Which made me feel a little better since I wasn't dressed up. "It looks like you are dressed for a movie marathon. Best thing to wear is pajamas or sweats." He said. " it looks like you got the memo." I said back jokingly. He laughed and smiled. "So how are we gonna do this? I've never had a movie marathon with someone on FaceTime." I asked " well if you pick a movie I own I will watch it on my tv and you can watch yours. We will make sure they both are playing the scenes at the same time so it will be just like we are watching it together." He said.
I thought about it for a little bit. I had a feeling he didn't own a lot of the movies I have. So I went for a obvious chose. " Would it be silly of me to ask if we watch Kingsman the secret service?" I asked. " No of course not! How about this if you have any questions or want to know anything about the scene I will tell you to make it more interesting." He said back. " ok I would love that."
We began to watch the movie together. It came to the first training scene we're the room is filled with water and he is shirtless. I began to blush a little because of how handsome he is in the scene and knowing he was watching it with me. I looked over on my phone and noticed he was staring at me and smiling "what are you looking at?" I asked "you" he answered back. I smiled and continued to watch the movie. It was so nice anytime I had a question for him about the film he didn't mind to answer. To me it felt like we were on a date even though he was thousands of miles away . I wondered if he felt he same way I did but I was to scared to ask.
The end credits came on and I clapped my hands he began to laugh. "What I want to show my appreciation to the actor in the movie" I said with a wink " Well thank you it's always nice to see a fan enjoy my work" he said back. "Even if I consider you more than just a fan now" when he said those words I got really nervous and started to shake my hands while holding the phone "really?" I asked "yes I do that is if you want to be" he replied. "Of course I do Taron. You have no idea how much these past two days have meant to me." I said. " Probably as much as they mean to me" he said back. We decided to watch the second Kingsman movie to finish out our movie marathon. Once we finished the second movie I heard my mom outside my bedroom door.
"Katie dear dinner is ready!" She knocked before coming in. I barely had time to say anything to Taron when she came in. "Oh Katie I'm sorry I didn't know you were on the phone. Just come downstairs when you are done. Love you" she walked out of my room. I was a little embarrassed when I looked at my phone Taron was smiling.
" your mom seems very nice" he said "she is" I replied back. "Well I better go before she comes back" "ok Katie we will talk again later, enjoy your dinner with your family" before I hung up the phone he winked at me, it was so adorable I couldn't help but giggle.
When I went downstairs I was preparing myself for my mother to ask me who I was talking to. I no more than sat down at the table when "Katie the young man you were on the phone with looked very handsome have I seen him before?" My mom asked " yes you have mom his name is Taron Egerton the British actor that will be playing in the movie Rocketman I was taking you to see in May." I replied back. My mother's mouth opened a little and she didn't say anything my father had the same look on his face. I then realized how crazy I sounded. Finally my mother said " Well that explains why you have been smiling non stop for two days. Just promise me Katie you will be careful I don't want my baby to be hurt again." " I will mom I promise." I said back " if things get serious with this young man you know the rules lady I have to meet him." My father demanded. " dad don't worry if we do get serious you will get to meet him for now we have just talked on the phone nothing more."
In my mind I was hoping it would be something more but I was scared too.
