The groom and the maid of honor (a Tom Hiddleston story)

Explanations

4 days later:
*Bree*
I hear the doorbell, but it isn't my house, so I kind of just ignore it, until I hear my cousin, who is home for a holiday, screaming at someone, her voice could cut through steel.

And I start wondering who the hell it is she reacts like that to, actually I could only imagine one person she hates that much. I jump up from the bed, oh shit, it can't be him.

I open my door and walk out, now clearly hearing her voice. "No, I don't want you in my parents house, and I am sure Bree don't want to talk to you".

"Missy listen, I know you still hate me, even though I did nothing you didn't do yourself... actually I did a lot less, but let that be. I need to talk to Bree". I hear Tom's voice.

What are he talking about ? What did Missy do ? I hear her again, now her voice is lower, but I am now close enough to hear. "But luckily for me no one knows how many times I cheated on you, everyone thinks I am the victim here".

"Missy I really don't care.. I am actually glad for what happened, or I might still have been married to you, and now please move aside". His voice is calm but cold.

Missy cheated on him, several times, and here she has made herself out to be the victim. "I said no Tom, get lost and stay away from Bree".

"Move Missy or I am going to move you, let Bree decide for herself". His voice suddenly very much demanding, and I hear Missy curse, I better get out there.

As I reach the door to the hallway it is thrown open by a very angry looking Missy. "Oh there you are Bree, my jerk ex husband wants to talk to you for some reason".

"Oh". Is all I manage to say, then she pushes by me and I look out in the hallway, seeing Tom waiting there.

"Tom, what are you doing here ?" I stare at him, a bit shocked that he has actually come all the way to Canada.

He looks at me, his eyes soft, almost begging. "I need to talk to you Bree, to step up and be honest".

"I am not sure there is anything to talk about, what do your girlfriend think about you being here ?" I say, trying to keep a distance, I know how he works like a magnet if I get to close.

He sighs and shakes his head. "I am so sorry about that Bree.. I listened to a stupid advice. She isn't my girlfriend, never has been, I was just trying to.. Well make you jealous".

"Why would you try and make me jealous ? And why would I be jealous ? I don't care who you date". I bite my teeth hard together not to give away any emotions.

This time he steps up to me and grabs one of my hands in his big hand, looking at me. "Because I hoped you were pushing your feelings away, that you actually cared, don't you care just a little bit ?"

"I.. Well.. Oh damn you". I stomp my food stubbornly, he can't just come here and intrude on how I had decided thing were going to be.

He narrows his eyes at me, his voice sounds like he is suppressing a laughter. "Tell me, did you really just stomp your foot at me ?"

"Yeah, because you can't just come her an throttle all my arguments down. I want to hate you, damned, can't you just let me hate you". I glare up at him.

His arms slides around my waist and he is stepping closer, now actually chuckling, slightly shaking his head. "No I am afraid I can't do that.. I much rather make you love me".

"Ha you can't do that". I say quite triumphant, probably looking rather pleased with myself.

He arches one eyebrow, pulling me flushed against him. "Oh and why can't I do that Bree ?"

"Because I already love you all on my own". I say biting my lip, he blinks a couple of times, then a smile spreads across his face, before his lips catches mine, demanding their surrender.

After the kiss I push him slightly away. "Is it really true ? That she is not your girlfriend ? So you didn't ..you know.. just a little ?"

"Are you asking me if I slept with her ? No we didn't have sex.. we didn't kiss.. we held hands a couple of times for the cameras and I kissed her cheek, that's it. She is a friend of Ben's". He says looking a bit sheepish.

I slap his shoulder. "That was the stupidest idea ever, you do know that, don't you ?"

"Well I thought so, but now I am actually not sure, I mean it actually got me what I really wanted, you". He says with a cheeky grin.

I glare at him. "Oh so you think that, do you ?" He just smile, kissing me again, and I put up no resistance, letting me get swept away by the feeling.

"What the fuck !" I suddenly hear Missy's voice behind me, and I break the kiss, turning around, she is glaring at us. "God Bree, are you really that stupid ?"

"Missy stay out of this okay ? This is none of your concern". Tom has his arm around my waist, pulling me close to his side.

She huffs at him. "Oh yes it does, Bree really ? You know how he is, he just cheat on you to".

"Oh like you cheated on him ? Several times. Yes, I heard you Missy". Know I am the one glaring at her.

She rolls her eyes, her voice icy. "So I cheated ? I only ever wanted him for his fame and connection, that doesn't make what he did okay".

I don't even care to answer, I just shake my head at her, sad for her that she has become like this, she used to be a nice girl and I wonder were and when she got so lost.

She stalks of looking very angry and Tom looks at me. "So does this mean that you are coming back home with me ?"

"Yeah I better call Luke and ask if I still have a job". I say with a sigh, and he pulls me into him again, kissing me like there is no tomorrow.
