Chapter five - Texting

Once the phonecall with Mr West was over I began cleaning up my office. But halfway through that I received a text. I took my phone out if my back and laid on my sofa I had in my office.

Tom 😎 :
Sorry I hvn't texted u yet but I am now.
I had a gr8 time this afternoon. Maybe
you wanna hang out some time soon
if you're not working.

Alana :

Sure, I'd like that. And it's okay.
I'm leaving work in 20 minutes.
Maybe we could hang out then if
you are free..

Tom 😎 :
Yip sounds gr8. How about this time
I pick you up from work? It's storming
outside.

Alana :
Awe, that's so sweet of you, so caring.

Tom 😎 :
So see u in 20.

Alana :
Sure Tommy.

Tom 😎 :
Wht did u jst call me??

Alana :
My nephew loves playing
Talking Tom. Ever heard of
such a game?

Tom 😎 :
Don't try changing the subject now.

I laugh softly to myself and place my phone face down on my chest. I was crushing so hard in this guy, and sadly he was an actor, a famous one. I seriously stand no chance now. Why now, why now does my interest in a boy have to happen. Great going Alana. My phone then begins to buzz none stop.

Tom 😎 :
Hey u still there.

Tom 😎 :
😝 I can see that u R reading the texts.

Tom 😎 :
Did I say something wrong??

Tom 😎 :
ALANA!! ARE YOU OKAY?

I let out a laugh once again. He seriously thinks he's done something wrong. I'm the one that did something wrong and that something was liking a guy a barely knew.

Alana :
Sorry, I got lost in thought.
I've got to finish cleaning my
office and you are a big distraction.

Tom 😎 :
So you are saying that during
the photoshoot you were a bit
distracted because of the sight
of me 😏.

Alana :
HaHaHa, you wish. I'm going to exit
this conversation and finish cleaning
up my office, see you late.

I exit the texts and put my phone in my bag but the buzzing doesn't stop and with each buzz I laugh at Tom's attempts to get me to continue texting him. I quickly clean up my office because I have wasted valuable time I could have used to clean my office on texting with Tom.

Once I'm satisfied with the way my office looks I grabbed my bag and jacket and exited my job. The ran had stopped and a car door opened and out climbed Tom. I smiled at the sight of him and made my way towards him. He kindly opened the passenger door and closed it once I took my seat. The car was warm and cozy inside, something I really liked.

Tom made his way to the driver seat and then off we were driving around the city. It's good to know that there are still gentleman in the world.

"You don't mind if I put in the radio do you?" Tom asks.

"Not at all, I love music." I say and Tom switches in the radio.

"So where are we headed?" I ask.

"I was thinking Starbucks and maybe something after that." Tom says.

"Sounds like a plan." I answer.

The drive was short and sweet filed with laughter. We stopped outside of a Starbucks and tom out in his beanie and I put in my jacket. We ordered ourselves drinks and then later and took a seat. I text Sam and Clary, they lived in the same home I did, I told them that I was out with a friend so they didn't have to worry.

"So Tommy how was your day so far?" I ask.

"Tommy?" Tom questions.

"What I like it. It's cute." I say and stir my drink.

"Well my day was amazing. Filled with surprises, Lana." Tom says.

"Lana? I like it. I'm surprised nobody has ever thought of that everyone calls me either Al or Alana." I say sipping my drink.

"Really. And I finally understood why you saved your phone number with a camera emoji next to it." Tom says.

"And I finally know why you are..." But I'm cut off but a girl running to our table with a smaller girl.

"OH MY...you are Tom Holland. Can I get a selfie with you?" She asks excitedly.

"Sure." Tom says all cool.

If people had to randomly come up like this to me I would be nervous. I don't think I would ever be able to get use to it. Quickly Tom takes a picture of her and her sister. He was cute with both of them. Once the photo is taken the girl both leave us in peace.

"Sorry about that." Tome apologises.

"It's cool. Its part of your job. You were so cute handling that little girl." I say.

"Um...thanks." Tom says.

"You and thanking others for compliments." I say.

"So you were saying, before that girls came over." Tom says wanting me to finish what I had said.

"Oh, I finally know why you are so familiar. You played Spiderman. My friends are obsessed with the comics and dragged me all the way to watch the movie when it came out. I have to say you are great actor." I truthfully say.

"Yeah. And please don't think any different about me, yes I'm known by many people and yes I'm an actor but it's just my job." Tom says and I let out a laugh and Tom gives me a confusing look.

"Sorry. If I thought any different of you I would not even be here hanging out with you." I say.

"So how about I take you out to watch a movie." Tom says.

"Are you asking me out on a date?" I ask.

"Yes, yes I am. So what do you say" Tom confidently says.

Alana you have just dug your grave for your funeral. A DATE. You do not do dates.

"Sorry Tom but I don't do date's. Let's keep it friends. How does that sound."

That is what I was going to say but my mouth said something else instead.

"I'd like that." I say and put a few loose hanging strands of hair behind my ear.

What are you doing!!! My subconscious yelled. Listening to my heart I answered. Right now it felt like I was literally walking in sunshine. The movie we were going to watch would only begin at 8, so Tom and I went to watch the sunset and we drove around before the movie began.
