The New Girl

31.

"You guys are dating?!" Laura - Tom's publicist - screamed through speaker phone at us.

"It just happened, okay? But there are now pictures of us on the internet and a statement from me given my an anonymous source!" I explained to her.

We were back in our hotel room sitting on our couch with Harry next to us and Sam cooking in the kitchen.

Laura sighed, "I'm going to have to talk to you two about your relationship or whatever it is but for now, we need to find out who gave that information out."

"I only told the girls today. They wouldn't say anything." I held my head in my hands.

"I told Mark and some executives but they wouldn't say anything. We've been really careful, Laura." Tom exhaled in frustration.

"I know but...clearly not enough."

We were all silent, thinking about who could have given the information out and why.

"Read the statement out to me again." Laura asked.

I sighed and went onto my phone, pulling up the article form the Daily Mail and read it out.

"Spiderman star Tom Holland rumoured to be dating his assistant, Collette Bright, a sports therapist from Kingston, London. She has been working with Tom since the start of his shooting in Berlin for the movie 'Uncharted'. They were recently seen together on what seems like a date last night." I read out.

"They have the picture-"

"What's the picture of?" Laura asked.

"It's us coming out of our hotel with Tom's hand on my back and me sort of nuzzling into him with a bodyguard covering me. I'm wearing a see-through-ish black dress."

She sighed, "Okay...continue."

"An anonymous source has given a direct statement; 'They told me they were dating and were in love. I overheard Cole talking out their sex life and Tom later joking about it as well. They had always seemed close right from the start of shooting and Tom seemed very keen of her and very jealous if another guy talked to her. I'm not that surprised they're together, honestly. But they're a good couple. An attractive couple. But they'll probably not last.'. A statement from an anonymous source who seems close to the newly found couple." I read out with gritting teeth and an angry undertone.

"Jesus christ." Laura groaned through the phone.

"You guys need to go through everyone you've told and do the chain, okay? I don't have time to do that, you guys do. If we don't figure out who this is soon then everything you say or do will be on the internet. Both of you. Take care guys." She spoke before hanging up abruptly.

"She's pissed." Harry scoffed.

"Not surprised." I groaned, leaning back and putting my feet on the coffee table.

"Foods up!" Sam called.

"All the girls say they didn't tell anyone." I sighed, sitting my phone down on the kitchen island.

"All the guys said they never told anyone." Tom sighed too, equally as annoyed and exhausted.

"You guys didn't say anything, right?" I asked the twins.

"Of course not." They spoke in unison.

I nodded and raked my mind for a person. Silence was in the room but everyone's minds were far from quiet, thinking endlessly about the people that could know.
