A Leap of Faith
Tom POV.
Fuck you fucking idiot how did you think he would react it you said you shouldn’t have kissed him. OMG you bloody moron. I had tried to chase after him to tell him that I wasn’t sorry over the kiss but that I was sorry over the fact I am basically lying to him about who I am. After losing him I had no clue what to do so I just headed back to my hotel I feel so dumb cause I don’t even have his number or any of his social media so I can’t even contact him. Once I reached the hotel I headed straight up to my room and collapsed on my bed not really sure what to do so I showered and tried my hardest to sleep hopping that tomorrow that maybe I might be able to save whatever it is that’s between us.
I woke up the next morning feeling crap but I got dressed quickly anyway and left as fast as I could I first went to the café looking for Daniel but he wasn’t there I then ran to school but couldn’t find him anywhere and what sucked even more was that today was the only day I didn’t have any classes with him and I knew I wouldn’t be able to find him at recess and lunch not matter how hard I would try. It wasn’t until last class that I really started stressing I mean what if he doesn’t even want anything to do with me what if he hates me now. The second the siren ringed I ran out of class and out the front doors before anyone else but I couldn’t find him anywhere and he would have to come this way, wouldn’t he?
“Oi Jacob.”
“Oh, are hi Sam.” It was the guy from earlier this week who gave me the tour. I felt a bit bad as I wasn’t really looking at him but trying to spot Daniel.
“Um Daniel said to meet him at the park to talk about the thing he said you should understand he just wanted me to pass on the message.” At the mention of his name my eyes snapped back to Sam’s and I started running to the park yelling thank you over my shoulder. When I had reached the park, I saw Daniel over by the tree sitting underneath it and I ran over to him…
Daniel POV.
It didn’t take him long to get to the park, I don’t really know why I had been avoiding him today but I think mainly I didn’t want to cry in front of everyone I mean I had only been there three days that was honestly the last thing I needed to do right now. Anyway he started coming over and felt a catch form in my throat and my knees began to feel week. Once he was close enough he gave me a small smile but I couldn’t bring myself to return it.
“Daniel I’m sorry about yesterday you have to underst-“
“Was it a mistake do you regret it?” I couldn’t help but cut him off that question had been playing in my mind for the last day and I couldn’t help putting it off anymore.
“No, it wasn’t a mistake honestly it wasn’t but I feel bad because I’m lying to you about who I am.” As he said this he grabbed my hand and put the other under my chin so I would look at him.
“Huh yeah that’s original let me guess your straight.” As I say this I turn my back to him forcing him to let go off my hand. I turned away from him as well so he didn’t have to see the tears in my eyes.
“no nothing like that I’m not too sure what I am really but I know I like you but right now that’s not what I meant I’m lying to you about who I am.”
“Wait did you mean that?” I turned back to look at him see a small glimmer of hope in his eyes
“Mean what.”
“T-Th-That you like me.” I try not to look in his eyes as I ask this.
“Yes of course I meant it but I’m worried that you will hate me after I tell you this.”
“Please just tell me all ready.” He takes my hand and sits me down on the grass.
“Okay look this is going to sound crazy but just hear me out please, so have you heard how marvel is casting for a new Spiderman.” For some reason his voiced had changed and now he had a British accent all of the sudden.
“Yeah, my friend in Australia was going crazy about this, but what’s this got to do with me and you.” I could see he was nervous as he went on.
“Well I auditioned for the role and got it and they are making a solo movie soon that is set in an American school so I joked about going to any America school to see what it was like but they didn’t get my British sarcasm and took it completely seriously so they changed my name and I have to practise my American accent oh and my real name is Tom Holland.” I just stared at him in complete shook I mean I don’t hate him or anything but I’m just taken back I mean I guess he is still the same person personality wise but like his name his Tom and he’s about to become famous.
“Okay let me get this right you name is Tom you’re an actor from England that is gonna be Spiderman.”
“You hate me don’t you.” He looked away from me at this point and I don’t know what made me do this but I just leaned forward and kissed him I didn’t really care who saw what we were doing and honestly, I don’t think Ja-Tom did ether. I separated from him which was harder then I expected it to be but when I sat back he was smiling the biggest cutest smile I had ever seen.
“No actually I don’t hate you.” Was all I managed to say.
“You promise you’re not made with me.” He looked at me again with a flame of hope dancing in his eyes
“Yes, I’m sure I’m not mad at you hone-” I never got the chance to finish what I was saying because he slammed me up against the tree and kissed with me so much more passion and heat but I mean hey I’m not complaining. I honestly could have got lost in that moment forever and god he tasted so good like mint and candy. He stopped kissing me and honestly it finished too fast for my liking. He looked at me with nervous eyes and I was so worried I had done something wrong when he said.
“Daniel do you want to go on a uh date with me tonight maybe go to the movies.” This time it was my turn to smile.
“Yes, Tom I would love to.”
“I was thinking maybe around 7:00.”
“Sure, that’s fine by me but could you do me a favour and walk me to my hotel.”
“Hotel? I thought exchange students stay with a family in the area.”
“Look that’s a long story for another day but please could you walk me.”
“Daniel, I would love to.” Tom stood up and grabbed my hand and pulled me up to and he walked me back to my hotel we talked about his acting career in the past and I learnt about how he had started off in the theatre and then moved on to movies such as Impossible and How I Live Now but mainly I was just concentrating on the fact the somehow, I had got this extremely cute, hot, amazing, kind, loving boy to like me.
“Okay well this is me I guess I will see you at 7:00.” I say as I turn to face him.
“Wait your staying here this is where I’m staying as well.” I couldn’t help but do a mental fist bump.
“Well aren’t we lucky.” I say standing on my tippy toes to kiss him. We took the lift up to my floor and he walked me to my door.
“Well I will see you at seven then.” I say turning to face him.
“Yep I will come here to get you.”
“Well aren’t you a gentleman.” I turn to open the door but before I can he turns me around.
“One last kiss for the road.” As he says this he taps on his cheek and I got to peck his check he turns at the last second and gives me a kiss.
“See you at seven.” I say this after I part our kiss and open the door to my hotel room
“See you at seven Daniel.” He says as I close the door. Once I was sure he was gone I went a little nuts I was so over the moon that you couldn’t help it I was going on a date with Tom!!!
