Anxiety. That's what continued to bubble within you, begging for dominance. You kept going over your lines continuously, a tension headache forming at the front of your brain. Pinching the bridge of your nose, you inhaled deeply, trying your best to remain calm in this situation.

It's not like you were about to go up and audition in front of one of the world's greatest theatre directors. You had gone through so much in order to get to this very moment and you just wanted it to go perfect. Not to mention, the director himself happened to be the hottest man you had ever laid eyes on. Pictures surely did not do this man justice. Although you hadn't quite seen him in person yet, you would within the next few minutes.

The show you were auditioning for if receiving a part, would be the biggest production you had ever been showcased in. You had gotten lead roles before, you were ensemble in some shows, extras in others. You adored and had an absolute passion for the life of the theatre, having done it since you were a little girl.

It was your dream to perform in a production directed by none other than Tom Hiddleston himself. The man had it all. He could sing, he could dance, his acting skills were brilliant. You only hoped you could be as successful as he one day in the acting business. He had the skills, the brains, and the breathtaking good looks which made him the perfect person to mold and shape the theatre company. You only wanted to impress him, but isn't that why everyone else was here today, too?

You watched as female after female approached the stage. Their singing skills were incredible and you finally offered yourself a glance of the astonishing director. Seated with a few others, he had a book in his hand to which you knew he was taking notes on each person. Every girl that appeared onstage was going for the lead role of Olivia Jones, a bright-eyed, bubbly girl whose world is suddenly transformed when she meets the likes of Henry Middleton who introduces her to life in royalty, a dashing king looking for his personal queen. The actress who received Olivia's role needed to have the abilities of dance and song, to which you had worked so hard to improve.

You watched as a blonde girl proceeded to the stage, script in hand. You gazed down at yours and sighed.

"He is a literal dream." You heard the blonde squeal. "I have the part." She tossed her hair behind her shoulders and made a point to brush shoulders with you as she walked sassily away. Before you knew it, your name was called. Gearing up, you inhaled deeply and walked from behind the curtain, onto the massive stage.

And there he sat in all of his glory. Tom Hiddleston, script in hand, looked up at you and for a moment, his crystal eyes seemed as if they knew you. Your heart jumped into your throat as his voice sounded within the theatre, echoing, sounding as beautiful as ever.

"Good evening, darling," He smiled formally. "What's your name?"

You stammered but pulled yourself together.

"(Y/N) (Y/L/N)." You smiled. "It's an honor to stand before you, Mr. Hiddleston."

"Please," Tom grinned. "Call me Tom. You're auditioning for the role of Olivia, correct?" He glanced down at his stack of papers.
