When I woke up, I thought it all was just a dream. But then I saw messages on my phone and I couldn't believe in my luck. I started getting dressed. It wasn't easy. Finally I decided to wear a black dress and shoes with heels, because Tom is really tall. I told my parents I was going out and went to the Big Ben by subway. When I got there, Tom was already waiting even though it was early. "Hey Tom!" I said.

"Hi! Ready to go to a fancy cafe?" he answered. A cute smile appeared on his face.

"Of course!"

We headed to the cafe. We talked about all kinds of acting stuff, like how do the auditions look like or how did he become such a famous actor. We laughed a lot and I felt like I have known him since forever. When we arrived to the cafe he opened the door and let me in. "A real gentleman" I thought. We went inside. It looked like a really expensive coffee house. We sat down.
"Latte please" I said to the waiter.
"Same for me" said Tom.
"So... how old are you Raven?" asked Tom.
"17" I replied not sure how would he react. Did I just crash my chance to be with him?
"I've never been to a cafe with such a young girl. You're special" he winked at me. My heart stopped. Oh my god he said I was special!
"Are you okay? Raven?"
I must have looked really weird at that moment.
"Yeah, yeah, sorry"
I have to control myself!
Some fans came by and asked for Tom's autographs. He was really nice to them. I patiently waited. Our coffees were ready.
"Mmm it's really tasty" I said smiling.
"It is, isn't it? I love this cafe. It's so cozy here"
"I completely agree with you"
After a visit in the coffee house, we went to the subway. His stop was further than mine, but he insisted to walk me to my hotel.
"Come on Tom, you don't have to, really" I withstanded.

"I don't have to, but I will" he said with his little rakish smile.

I looked him in the eyes - they were the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. His eyes were so full of joy and kindness. He looked into my eyes to and I immediately blushed.

"Is everything alright?" he asked with concern.

"More than alright. Thank you, Tom, for everything. I had the best time"

"Me too" he replied with a smile.

"Oh, that's my stop"

"Let's go then"

We got out of the underground. My hotel was visible.

"That's my hotel, Tom."

"See you tomorrow then" he said.

We hugged. He smelled so good! And despite of my heels, he was still so tall.

"Thanks again, Tom"

"We should do this again! How about tomorrow after the play?" he asked.

"It would be my pleasure"

"Great! For how long are you in London?"

"A week" I answered.

"Perfect. We'll have a lot of time" he smiled again.

"Bye, Tom!"

"Goodbye, Raven!"

I was so excited. After this day I loved him even more, if that is possible.
