Reasons to love older men (Tom Hardy x reader)

10 • Day of the premier

It was the day of the Legend premier. I was feeling nervous already and we had only just begun to get ready.

I had decided to wear a simple black dress, one that stopped at my thigh and had a deep v, showing of my cleavage. My mum had even convinced me to do my makeup, something I rarely did.

I had applied as much concealer under my eyes as possible but my eye bags were still visible. I'd been stressed from university, many deadlines coming up so I was quite thankful when the premier date came round, have a couple days off studying to hang out with Tom.

I had a suspicion my mum had realised the mysterious man I was dating was Tom, gladly though she never asked, even after I had sent them the tickets for the premier. She didn't exactly agree with age gap relationships calling Leonardo DiCaprio a 'weirdo' for exclusively dating under twenty fives.

Tom had to go to Canada to film The Revenant, a film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Paul Anderson, who I'd met last summer. We'd been FaceTiming nearly every day but it wasn't the same, and especially with the time difference it was usually late at night or early in the morning. The first time I'd be seeing him in two months he'd be dressed in a suit and tie, I was for sure about to pass away.

I was outside the hotel, smoking, while my parents got ready inside. As I took in a long puff, my eyes closed in annoyance at myself.

I wasn't ready for the questions. It took Tom two weeks to convince me to come, which just basically consisted of him saying he would keep the beard and wear less clothing around me.

The urge to let the man to do anything to me was strong. It had been three months already and I was still a fucking pathetic virgin. The only reason I've not had sex with him yet was because he'd been away, it wasn't even like I was waiting for anything.

I heard a ring.

I pulled my phone out and saw it was Tom calling me. I clicked the button to answer.

"Hellooo."

"Hiya love," familiar soft voice said on the other line.

"I can't wait to see you," I said.

"Me too, I'm sorry I've been busy the past couple months, but I have good news for you."

"I have good news as well."

"Can you tell me now?" He asked.

"No, you're gonna have to wait," I chuckled.

I heard a laugh, "It was worth a shot."

I shook my head, trying to hide my smile. "I'll see you later bubs."

"See you later love. I can't wait to see you, you have no idea..."

"What you smiling about?" My mum asked.

We were in the taxi on the way to the premier. My parents were both dressed up, my dad in a suit that still fit him from a wedding a couple years ago, and my mum in a freshly bought dress, cream with florals and leaves across it.

"Just excited about the movie."

"Me too, it was really nice of Tom to invite us," she said.

"Well yeah, he really wanted to meet you both."

"You two are quite close, aren't you?" My dad noted. He was a little clueless when it came to this stuff.

"Yeah I mean... he's just being nice."

My mum laughed.

When we arrived at the premier, it was already at full steam, a couple of the cast members were there but Tom as usual was a little late.

"Right you guys go inside, I'm gonna see if I can say hello to a couple people," I said, trying to be as vague as possible.

It was about twenty minutes later of me just hanging around, avoiding cameras and press, when Tom arrived. My jaw pretty much dropped when I saw his exit the limousine. He was dressed in a three piece suit and a tie.

*Tom's POV*

I got out the limo and waved to the cameras that were already clicking and flashing.

All I could think about was Y/n, I couldn't see her and after looking for a minute or two I began my interviews with reporters. I walked over to a lady with blonde hair and a microphone ready for me.

The good news was about the script she had sent me and I couldn't wait to tell her. Maybe this was her way into the industry, she said if she ever became respectable we'd be able to live freely.

"Tom, how are you doing?" "Are you excited to see the movie?" "How did you get ready for the role or Ron and Reggie?" Questions like that continued to come up until a balled man asked about Y/n. "So I've seen on set you've become quite close with a young lady of the name Y/n Y/l/n."

"Yeah I have, she's incredibly talented," I replied.

"In what sense? She's just a runner isn't she?"

I just ignored the question. I was the kind of person to speak back at questions like this, but Y/n had told me specifically to not answer questions about her role on set or our relationship, "Speaking of Y/n, where is she?"

I looked around once more, searching for her signature smile. It wasn't long before I saw her, her gaze looking me up and down like I was the most attractive person she'd ever met.

I couldn't help but smile at her, she was so ducking beautiful and I couldn't wait to tell her the good news. Maybe it was a step in the right direction for us, it could convince her to go public maybe.

"Thank you so much Tom it's been amazing speaking to you," the interviewer said, although I was fully transfixed on Y/n and her outfit I didn't even fully realise what he had said.

"Yeah you too," I said nodding, trying to act as normal as possible.
