~dreams~

We sit down and I try to hold myself together. Tom has changed so much.In only 3 years.

"I can't believe you're here.Since when are you back?How are you?How was Germany?" He asks quickly and I start to laugh.

"I literally just arrived one hour ago.But I'm happy I can finally leave Germany.It was bad." I say and study his face.His smile lightens his eyes and his freckles seem to really stand out.

"You don't know how happy I am to see you.I don't even know what to ask you. We have a lot to catch up." He says and i laugh. „Well you just asked me three." i say and we laugh.

„But yes.We do.But tell me, did it work out with the acting career?" I ask and lean forward a bit.He laughs.I have never seen him this happy before and that means something.

Tom is the most positive person I have met in my entire life.I really don't know where he gets all that energy from but it doesn't really matter.Being friends with Tom was the best and most joyful time of my life.

„Actually, I have something to tell you.Its not officially yet but I can't hide it from you anyways." he says and leans forward as well. „You probably dont know this since you're not the biggest movie watcher but 2 years ago i got casted for captain America: Civil war.As spider-man."

My heart stops for a second.I look him straight in the eyes and try to find out if he's kidding.

"Are you for real?No.Tom!That's a big deal!" I say a bit too loud.Some people turn to us and Tom presses his finger in his lips.

"Not so loud!" He says and takes out his phone.He presses on it a few times and hands it over to me.

It's a news report.Headline:Tom Holland in the new civil war as Spider-Man. I scroll down a bit to see the picture and it's Tom in a full ass spider-man suit. My chin drops.

"Tom.I swear to god if your fucking with me I will-"

"I am not!This is real. Daliah, I can't even believe this is happening." He puts his phone back in his pocket and drinks from his cup. „But that's not even the best part.This year we are shooting the first spider-man movie."

I pull my hands through my hair and take a deep breath. "Tom.You're going to be a legend.Bye bye normal life."

He laughs "Don't worry.You'll humble me." I smile at him and just study his face for a second.He does the same. For a heartbeat it feels like we're alone in this cafe.It feels like we can just be raw with each other.Like we could do what ever we want.

But as fast as this moment came, it passes.

„Seems like you had more luck than me." i say and take a sip out of his tea.

„So the fashiondesign didn't work out yet?" he asks.

I shake my head and take a bite of my donut. „It didn't. I finished college and now i am trying to find a job and i thought London would be the perfect place to do that.Back home."

He smiles optimistic. „ You will be great, without a doubt. I have seen your stuff."

„I hope so.Because i don't really have a plan b.Anyways.Do you still live in Kingston?" i ask and my thoughts wander over to his family house.We played in their garten for hours and when we were older we just sat in the sun and i made some new designs.

„No.Mum and Dad are still living there but i moved up here to be more mobile.But I'm still down there a lot.Do you already have a flat?" he asks and i sigh.

„No, I don't.It's hard to find a flat downtown.If not impossible.I plan on staying at a small hotel for the next few weeks.Untill I find something." Tom looks thoughtful in cup.

„Yeah, i know it probably wasn't the safest bet to come here without having a own place to stay but believe me when i say i wouldn't have survived another day with my aunt." i say and giggle a little.

Tom looks up and clears his throat. „Actually, i had an idea. My new flat is quite large. I was planning on moving in with Harrison but he found a better place.If you want, you can move into his room." he says slowly, studying my reaction.

I don't know what to say to this.This all seems so surreal. The entire day has felt like a dream and now this?

„You know what.You probably don't even want to move in with me.That was a stupid question." he says laughing nervously and leans back against the bench.

I shake my head fast and lean forward again. „No Tom, you dont even know how much you would help me.That would take a lot of stress from me and we could spend time together." i say smelling at him.he smiles back, clearly relived i didn't deny his offer.

„Great.You can move in whenever you want." he says and my smile get even bigger.

This all is amazing.I mean, i knew moving back to London would be a good thing to do but all of this is just unbelievable.

Tom gives me the address and his new phone number,pays his tea and says goodbye.Now i sit here.In my childhood cafe and just smile.Smile over the fact that i seem to be getting everything back i lost.
