Are you following me Mr Hiddleston? (A Tom Hiddleston Fanfiction)

Margot and Marcus| The date - cute scene

A/N: Similarly to the last scene, this scene involves Margot's sex life, which obviously was pretty much nonexistent and got cut from the original storyline. Although it was something that I was constantly trying to work around and figure out how to add it into the story...I just didn't know how to make it work, but at least I'm sharing it with you all now.

Summary: Margot agreed to go out on a date with Marcus to his utter surprise. Yet their evening turned out to be a success, considering everything that Jeff her stalker had put her through, and the fear that coursed through her veins still. However, after their date ended Margot couldn't fall asleep, so she turned to her friend for comfort.

Marcus was still shocked...in disbelief that Margot had actually agreed to go on a date with him, despite how hesitant he was when he tried to ask her the question. And yet, she in fact ended up finishing the question for him by agreeing instantly to his half asked question. Of course he told Zac shortly thereafter, not that he looked at all happy for him, which pissed him off and rightfully so too. Although Zac did try to explain, tried to cover up his true feelings about the date by warning him to at least be cautious around her, while adding the fact she's still very vulnerable and perhaps a little fragile too. Marcus simply laughed at Zac's warning after all he wasn't naive nor was he oblivious to Margot's situation either. Not that his laugh was very reassuring to Zac.

When the time arrived for the date Margot had borrowed a red dress from Elouise for the occasion. It was an easier choice than having to drag herself through endless shops on the high-street with all the Christmas shoppers. Anyway her final choice actually turned out to be simple, but with a bit of skin showing too, as it has a thigh high slit and just below the collarbone neckline. Although once she had the dress on she did have second thoughts about it, however, her time seemed to have run out as Marcus entered her shared bedroom.

"Wow, you look...sensational!" Marcus said, as he peered at her reflection in the mirror from a few steps behind her.

"Thank you...you look very handsome too!" Margot replied with a half smile as she turned around to face him.

Marcus soon closed the distance and held out his arm to her, which she took slowly but willingly. Then he escorted her downstairs where they put on their coats then he escorted her outside to his car. The darkness around them once they were outside caused Margot's body to become a little rigged and she felt a little on edge. He couldn't blame her, the constant fear that Jeff subjected her to was still very much present and at times unbearable. However his reassuring smile helped a great deal, because she knew deep down that she was safe with him, and with her brain reminding her that Jeff was behind bars too. It really was just down to the matter of time when she'd be comfortable again with being outside in the dark.

It wasn't long until they arrived at the pub that they frequently went to with the others. Albeit, for a first time date with Marcus it wasn't anywhere fancy like it had been with Tom, or even the extravagant hotel restaurants that Charlie took her to. In fact right now it was perfect, it was familiar and less nerve wracking, especially compared to how it could have been if it were somewhere else.

As they sat in their booth they chatted away just like the friends they are. Actually for a while Margot even forgot the fact that this was a date and not just a normal friend's hangout. Nevertheless the reality of the evening soon reared its head, as Marcus turned on his flirtatious behaviour and his constant need to touch her hand. Then again ever since Margot has known Marcus he'd been flirty with her, so you'd think it would be the norm, but no in actuality it reminded her that this was a real date. Despite his unreciprocated feelings she had said yes to their date and she still couldn't understand it fully, she couldn't understand why she agreed to go out with him. Perhaps she needed something good to happen, something different with someone?
