Just An Attempt (Tom Hiddleston x Reader One-Shot)

Just An Attempt

This is the setting: You're an actress in your late twenties. You live in a flat in London with your boyfriend of the last 3 years, Tom Hiddleston (you have made your relationship public from the start). You've known each other since you were born, you were best friends when he finally confessed to you and you realised your feelings were mutual. :)

READER'S P.O.V.:

I was driving in high speed on the broad boulevard, the landscape around me dry and stark. I was outside London, an appointment with the director of the film I will be staring in made me visit Sheffield. It was a three and a half hour ride with the car, let's say four due to the traffic. A bit boring but who said an actor's job is only learning a script and shooting. I knew very well it was a lot more than that and so did Tom.

He was waiting for me. No it doesn't make me nervous thinking of him waiting, if he wasn't he would be working too. So it's better like this. He's taking a rest at home. He needs it for sure.

I didn't rush. After getting inside London the environment became more pleasant. Narrow streets, lights, different sounds I could barely hear because of the music in the car (*insert whatever kind of music you like*). To be honest I really enjoy this. Driving through the city streets, especially at night. And the sky was definitely dark now.

I was gazing out the window as if I was seeing London for the first time. I was relaxed and feeling satisfied since our talk with the director and the all other stuff had gone pretty well, the film seems very promising ..and also very.. spicy! It includes some quite extended love scenes but I really trust the director as well as my co-star (*choose an actor of your preference ;)*). Everything will be okay. Tom will be fine with that too. At least there are no misunderstandings between us regarding this topic since we're both actors.

While I was lost in these thoughts accompanied by the beauty of the city, I suddenly heard a vibration near me together with my ringtone playing loudly (*insert ringtone sound*). My phone placed carelessly on the passenger's seat was ringing. My eyes shot directly on the screen.

'Sweetheart' is calling.

Tom? I had texted him earlier that I'll be home in about an hour. There were.. fourty minutes passed since then. Well, I didn't over analyse it, I picked up and answered the phone, not realizing that my speed had slowed down a bit.

"Hey, Tom!"

"Hey, darling..I..uhm.. ah..Can you talk? I know you're driving right now and..uhm.."

He said with a hesitating yet intense tone on his voice. Made me curious.

"Well I guess I can talk for a while...What is it?"

I had a cheerful tone on purpose, didn't want to stress him up. (Why is he even nervous on the first place???)

"uhm..ok. Where have..oh! Is
everything fine with the trip?"
He said, calmly now.

"Yes sweetheart, everything goes as scheduled, there's traffic as usual but I guess I'll be there in...25 minutes or so."

"oh 25 minutes hmm..ok."

He repeated the time, ..at least that's what I think because I barely heard him.

"Yes, didn't you want to ask something?"

I was even more curious now..
I mean..is there any problem??
My mind immediately started to make some really 'extreme' thoughts which I tried -very hard- to avoid and then he said:

"Sure! Where is the broom? You see, I can't find it, it's not at the balcony where we usually place it."

"The broom? Oh, did you look in the little closet?"
