Behind the scenes (Tom Hiddleston x reader)

A new life

On the plane I was way too excited to sleep, the adrenaline running through my veins. Just by the thought of living in London with Tom made my heart skip a beat and I felt my hands to get sweaty. Moving to London doesn't only mean living with him . It also means leaving my old life, my friends and my family behind. But thanks to modern tech we are still in touch and we would see each other often. My friends think that I way moving because I got a scholarship for the university. Aside from my mom nobody can know the real reason why I move here.

I gazed out of the small window on the plane and watched the clouds fade from yellow to blue as the time went by. With my music in my ears I slowly fall asleep. I was woken up by a nice stewardess who wanted to know what I wanted for lunch. I ordered a sandwich with ham and cheese, a veggie soup and a Diet Coke. The food was delicious, for plane food, and I ate it all up. After that I continued to stare out of the window and couldn't wait any longer until we arrive at London.

Three hours later the plane had finally landed at the London airport. So when I was out of the security check I started to look for Tom. I secretly hoped that he would pick me up, but I know that it probably wouldn't be the case today. But there he was, well not him exactly. He was wearing a black cap and a matching sun glasses. I recognized him immediately as him, but for strangers who weren't paying attention he was just a random dude waiting for someone. So when I walked up to him I said "hey stranger" with big smile on my face. His eyes immediately lit up when he heard my voice. So together we walked out of the air port and up to his car.

On the ride to his house we talked a bit. He asked me how the flight went and if I was able to pack up everything. During the rest of the ride I gazed out of the window admiring the landscape and the city. He was still surprising me with all his historical knowledge and fun fact about the city. We drove right through the city and ended up in a small and almost hidden part of London with gorgeous little houses lining up on either side of the road.

We stopped right in front of a beautiful house with a red brick front on which a few ivy branches ran high up to the roof and its dark grey chimney. We stepped out of the car, grabbed my luggage and went to the front door. He unlocked the door, snacked the bag out of my hand, smiled at me and said "well ladies first" with a big smile on his face.

When I entered the house I was greeted with the brisk and musky scent of wood from all of his furniture. I was standing in a small entrance area that leads right into the open living room that is connected to the kitchen. The smell of burning wood got caught in my nostrils and I started to look around trying to find the source of it. Small red and orange flames dances inside the fireplace that was right in front of me. In awe I continued to look around, taking in all of the beauty of his with love furnished house.

"This is lovely Tom, it's so you" I smiled in awe turning my face back to him. He smiled sheepishly "well it's now our house my love". I smiled back snugged my arms around his neck, jumped up and I wrapped my legs around his hip kissing him passionately. He immediately kissed me back and gently grabbed my hair making me moan.

The soft and faint sound of paws along with a few barks interrupted our quick make out session. He sat me down and smiled "there is someone else I want you to meet". And with that a brown little dog with long hair and slack ears jumped up on my leg. He was panting heavily and his tail wriggled in excitement. I crouched down to his height and start petting him. "Hello little guy, aren't you the cutest dog I've ever seen. Yeah who's a good boy" I smiled as I sour the sweet spot behind his ears. He used the opportunity and licked me over my face. " Izzy this is Bobby. Bobby meet Izzy, she's living with us from now on. And Izzy look he likes you" he laughs.

The rest of the day was spend with unpacking and cuddling by the fire while I was petting Bobby. " He is so sweet, almost as sweet as his owner" I smiled. "God I love you Izzy" Tom mumbled softly as he planted a soft kiss on my forehead. After so some time I felt my eyelids drop and I dozed off to sleep, feeling the warmth of his body surrounding mine.

It took me about a week to fully get used to live in London. I started to get to know my way around the city, to campus and a few other routes. I felt like a little kid again exploring a new city with lots of new people. I surely miss my old home but not as much as I thought I would.

So like everyday I had to go to university to study, but before that I spend some time with Tom and Bobby. We had our daily work in the early morning with Bobby around the park. I enjoy the time so much because during the day we can't see each other outside of his house,the fear of being seen by paparazzi was all present. On campus nobody seems to know who I am, so I was nothing more than an ordinary student which I absolutely loved.

After I was done with my lectures I opened the chat with Tom and texted him that I'm going to a caffe with a few friends from my class to finish up a presentation. He immediately replied and wished me luck and said that he misses me. I texted back that I miss him too and that I love him. The texted that he is now at the office of his manager Luke Windsor and that they are discussing the details of the upcoming promotion tour for the movie.

On my way to the coffee shop I felt the excitement rising in me as I thought about the tour. For now nobody on campus knows about my acting, but one's the tour and the interview begins they will know and my quiet time on campus will be over. But for now I did my best to focus onto the presentation. It didn't took us too long to finish it and when we were all satisfied we decided to call it a day and went home.

Back home I made myself a hot cup of tea, opened my I pad to go over the last lecture again while I was waiting for Tom to come home. So when he came home I was cuddling with Bobby and rereading my notes from today. Bobby ran up to him and demanded his petting from Tom. We kissed hello and he asked me how the day was.

We talked for a few more hours telling each other about our days. In the end Tom explained the details about the
Reds and promotion tour. Apparently it will take place in one week from now. That gave me just enough time to inform the university about it and that they will send me the papers from the classes.

The next day we went on our daily walk around the park with Bobby. Luckily for us there was nobody us at this time in the morning. It was only 5am and I totally understand the people who don't want to get up so early. So while we were walking the park I used the opportunity to get hold of his hand. He stopped, causing Bobby to whine because he couldn't continue to walk, and looked deep into my eyes. When he started to lean in after looking at my lips I mumbled quietly "we shouldn't doing this here, we could get caught Tom". "I don't care" he whispers right before our lips met. I felt the butterflies in my stomach and we passionately shared a secret moment.

*CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK* these sounds made my heart stopp and we quickly pulled apart. We both started to hectically look around. And then we saw him. About 30 feet away from us was a paparazzi with a camera pointed directly at us and he was beaming in excitement. "Oh shit" Tom and I mumbled at the same time.
