In A Movie (Tom Holland)

I felt slightly nervous as Tom knocked on the door after finding it to be locked. He glanced over at me, noticing my agitated state, he took my hand, pressing kisses on it. "Don't worry, darling. They'll love you."

I sighed heavily, not letting him release the grasp he had on my hand. "What if I don't understand what they're saying?" I frown.

"If you don't, just give me a look and blink twice, and I'll cut in for you."

"Thank you," I smiled, glancing into his lovely eyes. Was I actually ready for this?

Before I could decide, the door opened and a beautiful woman stood there, brown eyes identical to Tom's with radiant red hair pulled into a bun. She quickly pulled Tom into a hug. "I'm so glad you're home!" She exclaimed. She set her eyes on me, "You must be Catherine."

"Cat's just fine, ma'am. Tom's told me a lot about you," I reached to shake her hand but she pulled me into a hug.

"We're big huggers here, no need to be shy," she told me, squeezing the life from me.

"Mum, I'd like if Cat would live to visit Buckingham Palace," Tom chuckled.

His mom laughed, pulling back from me, "sorry, I guess I'm a little too friendly. Come on in, you both must be exhausted."

"Actually, we slept the whole flight, and then took a tram to the end of the tracks," Tom shrugged, "and we stopped for coffee."

"Wow, Tom, shes even prettier in person," I heard someone comment.

I looked up, seeing one of the twins, I think it was Harry, sitting on a chair playing on his phone in the kitchen. He drank from a cup of coffee, seeming to be awake even though it was early morning.

"What's up with Catherine's Instagram? I haven't ever seen Tom smile at someone like-oh heyyy tommy," Paddy spoke, causing Tom to turn a bright red, while I laughed.

"Wait are they here?" Another voice said.

A head peeked over the staircase, and I saw the face of Sam, who had a toothbrush in his mouth. "Yeah, Dad, they're here!" He mumbled, and I didn't catch a word he said, "hey, Catherine, I'm Sam!"

I had absolutely no clue what he said, it sounded like gibberish to me. German was the only language I could understand through slurs and broken pieces, but English I definitely could not. I looked at Tom, and I was thankful he was looking at me. I blinked twice, and he looked at his brother. "Sam, why don't you finish getting ready before coming down here?" He shrugged and walked off.

"Why don't you both go put your things down. Tom, your room still has the twin bed and bunk in it if you want to stay in there," Nicola offered.

I almost laughed at Tom's crimson cheeks, but he nodded. "Yeah, we can stay there. Catherine, is that okay with you?"

I smiled and nodded, "it's perfectly, absolutely." The moment I spoke the words, I mentally beat myself up, knowing that I said it wrong. "I mean, it's absolutely fine with me." I turn a shade of pink, myself now.

Tom grabbed my hand. "Come on, love."

We made it up the stairs before I sighed quietly in frustration. "I hate English." Tom didn't say anything, but he rubbed the back of my hand with his thumb.

"She seems nervous," I hear paddy speak.

"She's probably never been to England, and I can only imagine how worried she is meeting us," Nicola spoke to her sons.

"I like your mom, she's really cool," I whisper to Tom, and he smiles.

"She is."

We get our stuff settled into Tom's room, and while he puts his clothes in the closet, I decide to call my sister. It rings for a few seconds before she finally picks up.

"Wow, I get a call from my sister at a decent hour," she says jokingly.

"Oh shut up," Tom looks at me confusedly before seeing I was on the phone, "I'm in England, don't forget that."

She gasps. "You should come to Germany after!"

"Tom doesn't speak German, and none of you speak English," I roll my eyes.

"What did you say about me?" Tom inquires, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Nothing," I blush as he pressed a kiss into my neck, "anyways, I'll think about it. I'm trying to decide wether I want to translate for an entire weekend or not."

"Our brothers speak English and German," Mia says, "they can translate."

"The thing is, I don't want to see Gregory, and Josh hates English, and you know that."

"Ugh! I just want you to come visit me and bring your boyfriend!" She exclaims.

"You know," Tom says in German, "we could go visit your family."

My eyes widen as I try to comprehend what just happened. Did Thomas Stanley Holland just speak perfectly in my language. I nearly dropped the phone. "What did you just say?"

"I said we could go visit your family. I've been studying German ever since you said the only reason we couldn't go was because I don't speak it," he said, saying mostly German, but a few words in English.

"It's been four months since I said that, and you leaned my whole language?" I ask, tears forming in my eyes.

"I thought it was only fair."

I threw my arms around him, forgetting about my phone completely, and I tackled him to the floor. I pressed kisses all over his face, which caused him to laugh uncontrollably. "I love you!" I exclaimed in German.

He grinned wider, and I stopped, realizing what I said. "I love you too," he says in English.

"This has been sweet and all, but mom, dad, and I have been learning English ever since I came back from set," Mia said suddenly in English.

I burst into laughter. "Tom learned German, and you guys learned English, to understand each other?"

"Yeah," Tom and Mia said at the same time.

"This is an amazing day." I grinned.

There was a knock on the door, and Nicola's head peeked in. "Just wanted to see if you guys were okay, I heard a lot of yelling." She looked around the room, seeing my phone on the floor, still FaceTiming Mia, and my discarded suitcase and Tom's clothing. "What do you guys wanna go see today?"

I looked at Tom. "Um, I don't really know what's around that would be fun.."

"What about we just go walk around and visit some things we see along the way?" She suggested.

I grinned. "That'd be great."

"Take some pictures!" Mia told me in German, "I would have said that in English, but I don't know how!"

I laughed, and Tom did, too. "This is going to be one long, exciting week."
