The Professors assistant (Tom Hiddleston x Reader)

Eat the damn food

"Have a great night everyone!" I yelled as the students began to leave the room. I hear Tom mutter something under his breath but I couldn't catch it.

"So" I walk over to him "when did you plan on leaving? I ask

"Well I have to get my things from the hotel. And I have your address in my phone" he said flatly

"Alright. Are you okay?" I ask

"Yes" he answers. His eyes still on some papers on his desk

"..okay then. I'll see you later" I say. I grab my things and walk up the stairs.

After my Uber picked me up and I got home. I walked down the street to a Korean place to grab some dinner. I can't cook for the life of me so this will have to do. Besides..who doesn't like Korean food??

Back home I decided to tidy up and set some blankets out for Tom. I'm not sure how long he'll be. I ate in the small dining room and changed into my pajamas. I was watching..okay don't judge me cause this movie is incredible... Monsters University.
I heard a knock on the door. I got up and slid to the door "who is it?" I yelled just in case

I heard him sigh " it's Tom" 

I opened the door "welcome" I said bowing my head and walking into the apartment.

"It erm. It's smells nice in here" he said

"You said that last time" I chuckled

"I did?"

"Yep. There's some Korean food in the fridge if you wanted to heat it up" I said

"No thank you I ate before I got here" he said walking over with his suitcase to the couch and sitting down

I crossed my arms "did you really?"

"You think I'm lying?"

"Yes" I answer honestly. He doesn't answer so I sigh and walk over to the fridge, take out the food, heat it up in the microwave WHILE giving him my best stare, then bringing the plate over to him

"Eat" I say

"I don't-"

"Eat the damn food, Tom" I demand. He slowly grabs the plate and begins to take bites

I sat in the recliner chair and scrolled on my phone as he ate. "It was a good start ya know.. trying to bring some excitement into the classroom.. even if it was just party hats" I say

"You don't think it was too weird?" He asks

"Oh I think it was weird as hell.. but it's the fact that your trying that makes me happy" I reply

"Makes you happy.." he whispers

I hummed then kept scrolling on my phone

"So erm.. I just uh-"

"- Tom if we're gonna be roomies you can't be all awkward n shit"

"I'm not awkward " he sets his finished plate in the coffee table " it's just an uncomfortable situation"

"This makes you uncomfortable?" I ask looking over at him

"A bit. I mean, I'm staying at my assistants apartment because I left my wife" he states

"Well I guess that makes sense. What would make you less uncomfortable?" I ask more sensually then I intended to

"You looked very nice today" he practically shouted out

"Nice huh?" I chuckle "that outfit wasn't meant for me to look "nice"."

"Why did you wear it if you don't mind me asking?"

"My friend, Gregory. The one you saw at the bar" he nodded "he made me wear it"

"And Why did he make you wear it?" He asked

my cheeks flushed I could feel it. Damn it

"And this is when I go to bed" I say standing up from the chair

"Ahh a secret is it?" He taunts

" no..it's.. just none of your concern" god what am I saying? "Goodnight, Thomas. Sleep well" I turn on my heel and slide down the hallway into my room. Thomas? I've never called him that. What the hell.

TOMS POV

Thomas? She's never called me that..

I hate to admit that I am uncomfortable here. I have to share an apartment with my assistant...that I'm honestly quite attracted to in more ways than one..
But I can't let her know that..I can't believe I almost let myself kiss her in that damned closet today... how bloody humiliating.
