One Step at a Time (An Tom Hiddleston Story)

2 - Will you teach me how to dance?

Tom took me to the cafe just across the road from the studio. He was so very handsome, even though he was in a tracksuit. I was wearing my leggings and a long sweatshirt, my hair was slung back in a ponytail. We got a table in the corner of the cafe. We both ordered some lattes and shared a slice of chocolate cake. 

"So what do you do?" Tom asked asked

"Emm, I'm an actress, well, I want to be an actress, but there's not much work" I didn't want to tell one of my favourite actors that I was a wannabe actress. 

"That's awesome, I'm an actor myself" He said with a warm smile, as if I didn't know who Tom Hiddleston was.

"I loved you in the Deep Blue Sea" I said most likely a bit too quickly, he smiled at me and made a cute giggle noise. 

"Thank you" He then said dropping his eyes to the table, he was looking at my hand, that I had rested on my mug. I noticed that he then did the same. We chatted a bit more about his work and he asked me about roles I would like to play in the future.

"So, fancy teaching me how to dance?" Tom then said when we finished our drinks

"Isn't that why you're taking the lessons?" 

"No, I mean, Yes, but I don't want to look like an eegit"

"OK then" I said giggling

"We could do it at mine"

"OK" I replied, Did Tom Hiddleston really just invite me to his house?

"Great, my car is just down the road" I followed him to his car, it was a lovely BMW.

We drove for a bit then we arrived at his flat, it was massive, bigger than any flat I had ever seen before. He motioned for me to take a seat of the sofa and then he poured out two glasses of wine. "Dutch courage" he said as he handed me a glass. We sat talking for a while, Tom sat closer to me than I expected him to, but I didn't mind, I liked feeling of his leg beside mine.

Quite suddenly he grabbed my hand, pulling me up to my feet, "Lets dance" he said with a massive smile. His hands slipped round my waist, resting at the bottom of my spine. I wrapped my hands around his neck, staring into his beautiful blue eyes. He was looking back into mine, so I dropped my eye contact. "OK so move your left leg first" I said as we began to waltz around the room, for someone who needed dance lessons he was amazing.
