Y/n pov
"Tom, I think it's about time we confirmed our relationship? The press is starting to die down and without confirmation this all means nothing." I said after reading a few headlines.

"Yeah your right, we need to do it right thought. Big, flashy, very public." Tom said clearly thinking out loud. "I got invited to this party for a brand that wants me to endorse them, theres going to be loads of stars there which means loads of press, if we show up together there's no way they wouldn't ask if we are dating."

"And if we publicly announce it to the paparazzi it will practically be viral in minutes! That's perfect!" I said staring out the window of the car and thinking about how brilliant of an idea it honestly was while we drove to set on another early morning.

When we pulled up to set I said thanks to Tom for driving me, to which he replied "that's what a good boyfriend does." To which I swooned, I know this isn't real but part of me thinks it is, or I guess wants it to be. I just smiled and tried to not think about it though, that's what I always did when things got complicated.

I started walking to my trailer with my script so I could practice before my first scene and have some time to think by myself.

"Hey y/n! Wait up!" I heard a familiar voice yell from behind, I turned around to see who it was.

"Oh hey Dan! Whats up?" I replied when I saw it was him.

He jogged to meet up with me and we started walking together. "Soo... I saw you rode in with Tom again?"

"Yeah, you know I can't drive... he offers to take me into set so I don't have to sit through a 7 a.m. meeting on the way with the momager. You know how it is."

"Yeah, sweet of him. You know I could take you if you ever need a ride right?" Dan claimed almost defensively.

"I'll keep that in mind." I smiled at him, the vibe had changed again just like it did the other day. It was almost as if He was hurt.

Dan almost started to look nervous before he said what he did next. "Well anyways... I was invited to this pretty big party tonight, and I was wondering if you wanted to come with me?"

"That's really sweet, but Tom is actually going to take me to that party tonight. He asked me in the car. I'll see you there though?"

"Yeah... Yeah for sure definitely." A defeated look showed on his face, breaking my heart.

We kind of stared at each other trying to understand what the other was thinking. Why is it that he cares so much about who I spend time with now? Now that I'm not fawning over his every move? Why now?  It was starting to get really unfair. "Well uh... I better get inside and start rehearsing, I have a scene in an hour. See ya later?" I questioned trying to get him to make eye contact with me.

"Yeah. Bye." Dan said walking away without looking at me. I could tell from that moment things were going to change.

Later that day I had gone home to start getting ready for the party, even though I had no clue what kind of situation I needed to be ready for, I texted Tom see if I could get some details so I could at least dress appropriately.

Tommy Felton

Hey uh what kind
Of party do I need
to beDressed for? ?

Check ur closet I sent
something over ;)

I walked over to my closet, not knowing what to expect, to see a black garment cover that I hadn't seen earlier somehow. I grabbed it and hung it on the door so I could unzip it and see what was inside. To my surprise I saw a gorgeous red floor-length dress, with a high slit and spaghetti straps. It was beautiful. (If yall wanna imagine something else I dont mind hehe)

I quickly grabbed my phone to text Tom back.

Tommy Felton

OMG!! It's beautiful!! Your
the best fake bf ever ;)

I mean yahh ;)
See ya @ 6 😝

If he was picking me up at 6 and it is only 4:45 that means I am right on schedule to be ready! My hair was already curled all that was left was my makeup, which I usually keep pretty simple since I am young and have to wear so much when I am on set. So I had a bit of time to relax before it was crunch time.
——-
Tom pulled up to my house at 6 on the dot. "Man that guy is punctual" I thought to myself when I heard the doorbell ring.

"MOM CAN YOU GET THAT??" I yelled down to hear since I was still trying to get my heels on.

I heard the door open so I knew she had fulfilled my request and I got my black heels and grabbed my small silver colored wallet and walked down stairs to see Tom looking hot in his suit... I mean damn he looks good.

He hadn't seen me yet because he was deep in a conversation about football with my dad. When he finally caught a glimpse of me his jaw dropped and he was speechless. He finally worked up to talking but all he said was "woah."

I blushed and laughed lightly at his reaction. "Woah yourself. You clean up nicely."

"Alright well you two kids better get going. You don't want to be the last one to the red carpet!" My mom joked.

To my surprise I saw a limo outside instead of Tom's normal car. "Uh? Tom where did you park?"

He laughed at my reaction. "You act like you haven't seen a limo before! The company sent it, they said they wanted two of the biggest stars attending to be riding in style."

"I mean you don't have to tell me twice! I love limos!!"

And we were off to the party.

Hope yall like this!!
