The Professors assistant (Tom Hiddleston x Reader)

You let her

"And remember class, we will have a foodday Monday. So if your able to bring your favorite foods or desserts from the 19th century. Or you could just bring anything. You're all dismissed" Tom finishes waving off the class

"Have a great weekend !" Athena yells to the students

As soon as they last person shut the door, she turned towards Tom.

" You really are loosening up."

He walks up to her and wraps his arms around her waist. " I guess I am"

He leans down and gives her a kiss. She pulls away then begins to pack up her stuff "so" she started "what are you hungry for tonight?"

He raises a brow and grins

"Not like that you weirdo" she says chuckling

"Well.. How about Indian? That sound good?" He asks

"Yeah that sounds good to me"

They finish packing up then make there way out to the parking lot, holding hands.

"Thomas?!" A voice yells from behind them

They turn around and it's Monica. And she is furious

"You've blocked me and now you're hiding from me?!" She walks speedily over to them

"Monica? What are you doing here?" He asks

"I've been trying to find you!"

"Well you've found me! So what's the problem?" He removes his hand from a speechless Athena and steps towards Monica

"I need you! That's the problem!"

"No. You need my money. That's all you've been after. Don't lie"

She huffs and points to Athena "so who's this?! You know we're married!"

He steps back and holds Athena by the waist "No. we are separated. I left you."

"I didn't agree to this!"

"Well you sure agreed to having sex with hundreds of other men so let's say we're even!" He's now yelling.

"Thomas" she sighs and steps closer trying to seem more like a victim "I felt alone in the marriage"

"Are you kidding me?!" He yells "I've done everything for you! I threw away my dreams for you, I took a job at this shitty university for you because you just "love this part of town", I pay for everything that involves you! It's always you, you, you! I felt alone! I did! I HATE my life! Are you happy? I hate every single part of it! So stop bullshitting me and leave me be! Your whole family has money but you- you've been sucking ME dry for years?! I'm done!" He turns and grabs Athena's hand "let's go"

They begin to walk closer to the car till Athena was pushed, hitting the back of the car "who the fuck do you think you are?!" Athena yells standing back up

"And you!" Monica gets in her face and slaps her "you little slut!"

Tom grabs Monica and pulls her back. He grips onto her shoulder and shakes her "don't you EVER touch her! Do you hear me?! Now leave! Before I get you arrested!"

He lets her go and she steps back. She points at Athena "you're taking everything away from me! You'll deserve what's coming to you, bitch!"

"I said leave!" Tom shouted.

Monica laughed then turned away, walking back across the parking lot.

In silence he opened the car door for her and she went in. He got in on his side and shut the door before laying his head on the steering wheel. Athena was shaken up, staring ahead of her

He picked his head back up and she turned her attention towards him

"..are..Are you okay, Tom?" She asks quietly

"No. I'm not." He simply answers
He starts the car and begins to drive off. Once he's on the main road, he begins to speed. Faster and faster. Athena grabs on to the dashboard

"Tom! What are you doing?!"

He doesn't answer

"Slow down!" She yells

He goes through a red light and cars start to honk at him "Tom please! Please stop!" She begs, tears beginning to water her eyes

He presses on the gas more, and his breathing escalates

Tears start to flow down her face. She sobbed out her words "Tom please! Let me out or something! You're scaring me please stop!"

And when he hears that. Her sob, her panic.. he comes back from wherever he was, and slows down.
He drives into the apartment complex parking lot and parks the car "Athena.. Damn it I'm so sor-" he reaches for her

"No! Don't touch me!" She gets out and slams the car door.
He gets out of his side and follows her "Athena wait!"

"No!" She yells. She runs up the stairs and unlocked the front door, rushing in. He walks through the door behind her and shuts it. She makes her way to her bedroom

"Can we please just-"

She turns around in her heel "what the fuck was that, Tom?! Why did you do that?!"

"I don't know what came over me..I'm sorry-"

"And you hate your life, huh?! You hate ever single part of it? That's what you said, right?!"

He walks towards her "I didn't mean-"

"She threatened me, Tom! AND you let her hit me?! You never even asked if I was okay!"
Her cheek was red from the slap. Then he looked down to see her knees bleeding from when Monica had pushed her to the ground

"I didn't know she was going to-"

"You. Let. Her. Hit. Me!"

He grows quiet and reaches out for her. She pulls away from him and backs up "you need to do something about that psycho, before I fucking do"

And at that, she turns away to her bedroom and slams the door shut.
