Tom immediately got out of bed and wanted to leave the house as quickly as possible. He could hear Elizabeth calling after him. "Tom, wait! At least take the painkiller" Tom ignored her, Elizabeth ran after him and when he got to the front door he turned to Elizabeth. "I just want to know one thing, did something happen between us last night?" Since Tom couldn't remember anything, he had to get the question answered by her and that was very important to him. Her answer could change everything.

Elizabeth was quiet and just looked into Tom's eyes. Tom ran out of patience and interrupted the silence. "Elizabeth, did something happen between us last night? The answer is either yes or no" Elizabeth shook her head. "You were so drunk that you fell asleep straight away, don't worry, nothing happened between us" Tom breathed out in relief. He left the house and made his way to Şeyma's.

When he rang the doorbell, nobody opened the door at first. He spent the whole time looking for his keys, which Şeyma gave him, but couldn't find them anywhere.

Şeyma, who was still asleep, was woken up by the doorbell. When she opened the door, Tom was standing in front of her and she immediately hugged him. "Where have you been? I've been really worried" Tom sighed and didn't know whether he should tell her everything that had happened or not. "I overdid it a bit with alcohol yesterday, so I really can't remember anything"

Şeyma lifted her head up and looked into Tom's eyes. "And where have you been? Where did you spend the night?" Tom wanted to tell her everything, but was afraid of her reaction and losing her. He struggled with his thoughts and didn't know what to say now. "Shall we go inside first? It's cold outside, I don't want you to catch a cold"

They went inside and sat down on the couch. "Şeyma, you trust me, don't you?" Tom said as he took her hands in his and looked deeply into her eyes. Şeyma frowned, not knowing what to expect. "Of course I trust you, otherwise I wouldn't be with you" Without much thought, Tom began to tell her everything. "There were a lot of people at the party yesterday, including Elizabeth" Şeyma already had an idea where the conversation was going and she felt a bad feeling in her chest. "And when I couldn't contact you yesterday, I was worried and I knew you were with Henry, I thought... never mind. That made me lose control of my drinking so I was unresponsive and when I opened my eyes today I found myself at Elizabeth's house. But I swear nothing happened between us" Şeyma looked into the empty space and processed what Tom was saying to her. "Şeyma, please say something" She turned back to Tom and looked directly into his eyes.

"Firstly, did you really think that I was cheating on you with Henry-" Tom interrupted her "No, I just thought-" before Tom could finish his sentence, Şeyma raised her hand. "You've just had the chance to tell your side of the story, now it's my turn. Firstly, you thought I was cheating on you with Henry. Secondly, did you choose to go with her of all people and thirdly, how can you be so sure that nothing happened between you last night, you just said you don't remember anything" Tom tried to hold Şeyma's hand but she pulled it away. "Listen, I just have a bad feeling about Henry, I knew you wouldn't do anything wrong, I was just afraid he'd try to get closer to you than he should. And I was so drunk yesterday that I really can't remember anything, I didn't choose to go home with Elizabeth. Besides, I asked Elizabeth twice this morning if something happened between us last night, she denied it, why would she lie? She has no reason to"

Şeyma got up and was about to leave the room, but suddenly she felt another twinge in her chest and out of reflex she put her hand on her chest. Tom stood up immediately and held her by her arms. "What's happened? Did you feel a twinge in your chest again? Let's go to the doctor right away" Şeyma freed herself from Tom's hands. "Don't touch me! I don't want to see you for a while," said Şeyma in disgust. Tom shook his head. "I'm definitely not going to leave you alone in this state"

He accompanied Şeyma to the bedroom. "Rest now, darling, I'll be downstairs" as Tom was about to leave the room, Şeyma held his arm and stopped him. "Please don't go and leave me alone right now," she said as her eyes filled with tears. Tom pulled Şeyma to him and hugged her tightly. "I will never leave you alone, not just now," as Tom felt her tears on his shirt, he felt incredibly bad and guilty. "I'm so sorry that I'm the reason for your tears, I promise I'll never make you feel like that again, darling" They both lay down in bed and Şeyma fell asleep on his chest.

When she woke up, Tom was no longer there and she looked for him. When she arrived in the kitchen, she found Tom preparing breakfast.
"My beautiful girlfriend finally got up," he said with a broad smile. Şeyma smiled slightly and they ate breakfast together.

"Tom, I'll be honest with you, I can't pretend nothing happened and I'd like to talk to Elizabeth for once. I know you wouldn't do anything wrong and that you love me, but I need to make sure she's telling the truth and to Henry, we really are just friends, we just get on really well and that may lead to a false impression, but you, Thomas William Hiddleston, have stolen my heart, I love you more than anything, and my eyes will only ever look out for you and no one else" Tom smiled at her, these words from her filled his heart with joy. "I understand that you would like to talk to her, you are welcome to do so and about Henry, I'm sorry I overreacted. I just want you only for myself and I don't really like sharing so I just got jealous, I'll work on myself I promise" Tom leant across the table and gave Şeyma a kiss. That afternoon, Şeyma made an appointment with Elizabeth. 

"I just have one question for you, did something happen between you last night or not?"
Şeyma asked very seriously. Elizabeth smiled provocatively. "Didn't Tom already tell you that? Nothing happened between us. But I think you should question your relationship, otherwise why would you bother to meet me and ask if you completely trust your boyfriend?" Şeyma just looked at Elizabeth for a moment and laughed. "Thanks for the answer, oh and one more thing, don't make it so obvious that you still want him, you look very pathetic doing it" with these words Şeyma got up and went back home.

She told Tom how the conversation went and they let the evening fade away quietly.
