The Professors assistant (Tom Hiddleston x Reader)

I want my money

After he went to the motel and got his suitcase, Tom did as she said and went to her apartment to take a shower. After said shower, he waited on the couch for her.

Her soon heard the door unlock and open, so he turned his head to meet her tired eyes. He stood up and tried to catch her eyes, but she turned and headed towards the bathroom.

Once she exited, she walked towards the kitchen and made some tea. The apartment was quiet. And Tom sill stood in place waiting for them to lock eyes.
She made her tea, and walked into the living room, sitting down on the couch. He joined her. But didn't sit so close as he didn't want to make her uncomfortable.
She took her time, blowing on her tea then taking sips. Then she sat the mug down, and looked up at him finally.

A delicate smile rose on his face as he said "hi"

"You wanted to talk. Go on." She said, a sad tang to her voice.

He clicked his tongue and let out a dry sigh "I'm sorry. Truly from the bottom of my heart. I was overwhelmed with confusing feelings and I didn't know how to react..I didn't mean to grab you the way that I did..I didn't even notice I was doing it.."

She looked down into her lap "I forgive you" she said quietly

"And..Athena I- I never meant to bring this conflict onto you..And I know you are confused about the situation...and so was I, but I remember now..I remember that night at the bar and...I know that someone killed her."

She looked up "who?"

"I..I don't know his name but...I assume it was a hitman.. I supposedly paid him money-"

"What?!"

"No no no" he shook his head rapidly "I was absolutely smashed..I didn't understand a thing that he was talking about-"

"How much money?"

"40,000-"

"40,000!? Are you kidding me?!" She shouted

"I didn't pay him though! I didn't! My-my bank account is the same as it was. No money was withdrawn."

"So you didn't pay him?..."

He shook his head

"Tom...that's worrisome...what if he tries find you and demands the money?"

"Well I'm sure he'll understand if I just explain-"

"You think he'll understand?? He's a fucking hitman. Money is what keeps him going"

"..right..well, he doesn't know my name...or where I live...he doesn't know anything about me."

She sighed "but that's his job..to find out.." she put her hands on her face and groaned "god this is my fault...I should have never started that argument with you that night.."

He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her towards him "it's not your fault, Athena. Never say that. I went out as my own choice and should never had let him buy me drinks.."

A king moment of silence passed through the two as they sat in an embrace.
She raised her head "I'm sorry...for kicking you out.."

"I'm sorry for hurting you.." his voice was soft

She gave him a weak smile then lifted her head more, connecting their lips. He sighed into the kiss and pulled her closer. He moved to kiss down her cheek and she let out a giggle. He moved down her neck, not missing an inch of her skin. She laid back onto the couch with him on top of her.
She ran her hands through his hair and pulled a bit, causing him to let out a small groan.

Pulling back, he looked into her eyes. Lust filled them both as she looked back up at him, and licked her lips. "Athena..you are absolute perfection.." he whispered.
Her eyes brightened as she went to speak, but was cut off by a loud knocking on the door. Their heads turned in surprise.

"Did you order anything?" Tom asked, his eyes on the door.

"Uhm..I don't think so.." she whispered

He looked down at her and smirked "maybe they'll go away"

She chuckled and pulled him closer "hopefully-"

The door was banged on again. Causing a breathy groan to escape her lips. Tom shifted of of her "I'll see who it is.."

He looked out of the peep hole then turned towards her "no one's there.."

She shrugged and stood up. "Are you sure?"

He slowly unlocked the door and looked out. Looking left, then right, then down.. a white paper bag sat at her door. He chuckled and picked it up "you said you didn't order anything" he shut the door.

"I didn't" she said

He held up the bag "then ohh I wonder what this is" he said playfully, setting it in the kitchen counter.

She gasped "a surprise? Maybe it's from Gregory. I haven't heard from him in a while."

"Right. Where did he go again? Jamaica with his very wealthy lover?" He chuckled. And so did she as she walked into the kitchen. She sat on the stool "Greg and Dan are madly in love for your information. Okay. Let's see. Open it."

He began to open it when a smell oozed from the bag . She covered her nose and hopped off the stool "what the hell is that?"

He covered his nose as well and quickly looked inside. He yelped and tossed the bag across the kitchen "oh god!" He exclaimed.

"What is it?!" She asked frantically

His eyes were wide as he kept his nose covered "it's a fucking rat! A dead bloody rat!"

"Oh my god.." she hesitantly moved across the kitchen and grabbed a broom, pulling the bag towards her and looking inside from a distance "what the fuck...there's something else in there.." she used the other end of the broom stick to pull out from the bag a small piece of paper. With words that read:

"...I want my money.." Tom read out.
