" She walks in beauty " ( Tom Hiddleston fanfic )

5 ~ A last scene

Jane pushed him away , breaking the kiss , and felt her chest beating insanely, like a drum as she gasped for air.

- I'm so so sorry ! It's not usual of me doing this... - Tom felt the need to explain.

She grinned a bit, still looking for that air missing.

- It's ok. It's my fault as well. 

- The thing is... that I couldn't forget your kiss in the auditions. 

Jane looked quickly at his eyes, burning for her.

- Aham... I think we should get going... it's getting late. 

- That is all that you're going to say about this, Jane?

The truth was that neither she could forget that kiss. If it wasn't for their brief encounter in Paris, they probably wouldn't see each other again. 

She was heading to the door but stopped to look at him .

- I don't know what you want me to say, Tom - Jane opened the door and walked out, while Tom followed her.

- I want you to say what's in your mind, sincerely.

Closing the door and locking it, the girl looked again to him, that was waiting for something.

- I'm engaged, I'm going to marry in five months.  - She dropped the bomb and left, leaving Tom there, all by himself, holding to that mischief of her. Playing with his little heart.

 - So, you didn't told me how the date was yesterday?  - Natalie asked the day after, while they were filling the shelves of the Health Section.

The day was sunny and a little warm, so the book shop was more empty than usual.

- It was normal... - Jane shrugged her shoulders and Natalie gave her a little smack on the arm with a book.

- I know you. What happened? Don't lie to me, I can tell that. 

- We... we kissed - she said, remembering with a little smirk. 

Natalie shrieked, but quickly took her hand to the mouth.

- What?! Where? Oh lord, he's so hot ! He's a good kisser? Oh god, I bet that is ! You lucky cow ! I can't believe this ! 

- In the restricted section... you know, in the Shakespeare collection...

- You dirty little skank ! 

- And yes, he's a great kisser... but I won't see him again.

- Why not? That's rubbish ! He's amazing, are you insane?

- I told him that I was engaged...

Natalie opened her mouth in disbelief  of she had just heard.

- Why bloody hell did you said that?! Are you just... mental?!?! You don't even have a boyfriend...

Jane sighed, knowing that that would be her friend reaction. She closed her eyes for a second, before explaining.

- I know that, Natalie. I just was terrified. You know my luck with men. And I barely know Tom. It was just stupid of me , inviting him to come here. I shouldn't have done that.
