A/N: Hopefully pt2 to this is coming tonight xx

As you wake up this morning, you feel dump. Stupid. Embarrassed.
You can't believe you had been dreaming about Tom. And feeling all these romantic things for him last night. It must have been the alcohol.

You're not naïve. He's a movie star. And you're just some random girl he met in a supermarket. You had been hurt before, you didn't want to risk that again.
So, you decide you wouldn't text Tom today. Get a little distance. From him and your feelings.

Good thing your friend is coming over today. It's your sunday tradition. You make pancakes together and watch a movie.

That's why you stay in bed until the doorbell rings. You usually stay in your pj's when it's her turn to come over to yours.

"Oh my god, hi! I'm so excited to spend our first Sunday at your apartment", she greets you with a big hug and a huge smile on her face.

And so the Sunday begins. You show her your new home, make the pancakes and sit down next to each other on the sofa. You both have a tea by your side and a throw covers your legs.

"I'm in a big marvel mood today. Wanna watch spider-man 2?", she suddenly asks. You stop in your tracks. You contemplate what to do next. You really badly wanted to share what happened to you the past couple days with your best friend.
She stares at you, waiting for an answer. Finally, you sit up a little. "Listen", you start off and then you tell her everything. How you met Tom, how he left you his number and how you two made a Christmas pact.

When you finish, y/f/n stares at you in shock.
"You're kidding, right?"

You shake your head no.

It takes her a couple minutes to process what you just said. Then he starts flooding you with thousands of questions. Both of you completely forget about your pancakes and the movie.

"He's just the most amazing guy I've ever met", you eventually state.

Y/f/n giggles. "You're falling for him."

"No I'm not", you're quick to correct her. "Yeah he's great, but I cannot fall for him."

"When are you gonna see him again?"

"We've not talked about it yet."

As if he knew you were talking about him, your phone lights up. Tom's calling you.

Y/f/n jumps. "That's him, go on, go pick up."

You sigh. This hole conversation about him had made your heart flutter again and you really want to hear his voice. But at the same time you wanted to protect yourself.

"Hi", you say.

"Hey, listen, I've got an idea."

You're distracted by y/f/n who motions for you to put Tom on speaker. You shake your head no but eventually give in.

"What's the idea?", you ask.

"I'm going to Winter Wonderland with a couple of friends tonight. That's on our list too so I thought you should just come too and join us."

You try really hard not to make any noise that would give away how you're feeling right now. You can tell y/f/n is doing the same as she's pressing her hand on her mouth, eyes wide.

She's excited.

You're freaking out. You're not very outgoing. Or, at least not with people you don't know. You can feel some anxiety spreading through your veins.

Y/f/n seems to notice. She knows you too well. So she starts nodding hysterically, putting two thumbs up. She looks ridiculous and you have to stop yourself from laughing.

"What do you think? Are you free tonight?", Tom asks again.

You sigh. But you have to smile too. The thought of going a day without seeing him really did upset you a little before.

"Sounds good, I'm in."

Y/f/n throws her fist in the air, silently cheering.

"Perfect, I'll text you where", he says, before he hangs up.
