Four days later

I opened my phone as another buzzing noise sounded. 

"Who is it?" Tracy and Suzy tried to steal my phone.

"No one!" I cried as I tucked my phone in my pocket. 

"Sure." They rolled their eyes. "Come on, you were giggling and smiling into the screen. The last time that happened you were dating -"

"Okay okay." I stopped them. "So maybe I met someone."

"Spill the tea." They plopped me down on a seat in the Starbucks. We were doing a shopping haul for my channel and had gotten thirsty. 

"So like, we met a few days ago." I blushed. 

"Name?" Suzy looked at my face. 

"Uh." I gulped. "He would rather stay a secret." 

"Are we ever gonna meet him?" Tracy asked. 

"Um, dude we are just talking and so maybe." 

"Does he live  in town?" 

"Not exactly." I looked down at my phone again. A small smile played on my features as I saw his Snap pop up on my screen again.

"Oh no, you aren't..." Suzy drew out. "Is he an online boyfriend? Delilah you know how sketchy those sights are." 

"No he's not an online boyfriend." I reasoned. "Well I mean not really an online boyfriend." 

"Uh huh." Tracy nodded. "Well as long as I get to meet him at some point I'm happy for you. I mean you're like technically 17 in two days, I think you're smart enough to make your own decisions."

I smiled. "Thanks guys." I stood and we began our walk again. I opened my phone and snapped Tom a picture of the mall. He responded almost immediately with a picture of the set he was on. I smiled slightly and got a picture of my eye and hair tied up in a high pony and a large sweater. He responded with a smirk and a fire emoji, he also sent a tear face along with it. 

After a long day of shopping I got in my car and drove home. I needed to edit this video and get it up. 

I opened my phone to a video from Tom. 

"Hey love!! On set in London, I'm like almost done filming, so if you wanna Face time me, do it soon!" 

I smiled and tapped to reply. 

"Hey, Wish I could but I need to edit." 

He responded with a selfie and a tear emoji. I laughed and sent him a video of my work space. After a long exchange, I finally began work on the new video. I was not even two minutes into working when a new snap lit my phone. I looked at the name and sighed. That boy. I opened it and laughed at the sad, puckered lipped, Tom Holland. His cute eyes were scrunched up and his arms were crossed and he had a small pout about him. 

I sent a picture of my legs crossed with tight leggings and my Adidas. "Stooopppp... I need to work!!!" I captioned it. "You are making it very difficult." 

I sent it and shut my phone off. Almost instantly I got another snap of him with Haz and Tessa. I sent him another picture and quickly turned my phone all the way off. I edited till late in the night. When I finished and turned my phone back on, I had 16 spam texts from Tom, 15 unopened snaps from him, and about six missed face times. 

I giggled as I read the texts. 

Tom: Delilah.... 
Tom:Answer the snaps
Tom: Pleazzzzzz
Tom: D I'm sorryyyyy talk to meeee plz....
Tom: COme on you know you want to
Tom: Haz is getting boring.. and Tessa just wants to nap... With Haz. So that leaves me alone.
Tom: D
Tom: E
Tom: L
Tom: I
Tom: L
Tom: A
Tom: H
Tom: Clearly you are dead.. or asleep.. Oh bloody hell, babe, I totally forgot about the time change.
Tom: I am so sorry baby.
Tom: Please don't hate me for waking you up!!! 

I laughed as I typed a reply. 

Me: Tommy, I am not mad, I was working. But I am heading to bed. Night. 

Tom: Oh thank goodness! :) 

Me: You get some sleep. Hug Tess for me! 

Tom: Txt and snap tomorrow? 

Me: Yep. 

I turned my phone off and waddled to my bed. I threw my tired body down and mulled over what had happened over the past week. I had followed Tom Holland. He had followed me back, and he or rather his friend (he told me that it had not been him that had done that, and I had told him the same thing happened to me) had DMed me. I had responded. We exchanged Snaps, and started snapping regularly. Then two days ago he had asked for my number. We then exchanged numbers and then we had been unable to stop. 

I fell asleep with a certain young movie star on my mind.
