*Tom POV*
"Hiiiidddlees".
So.. Fucking.. Close.. I reluctantly pull a bit away from her and turn my head to see who called for me. I keep my hands in the same place, hoping this person will get the jist of what is going on.
Unfortunately and to my very big surprise, that person turns out to be a very drunk and very unaware Benedict Cumberbatch, I grunt, what the hell is Benny doing here ?
Oh Ben you daft fucker, can't you see I was about to kiss the woman of my dreams, I take my hands away from Ginny with a sigh, hugging him. "Ben, what on earth are you doing here ?"
"I am in town doing a play just like you, remember ? India called me and asked if I would come by, Oh I need to come see your play tomorrow mate". He answers, slurring his words a bit.
I take a deep breath, wondering how Ben knows India, but not really caring right now, I just want him to go away. "I make sure there is a ticket for you Ben, but if you will excuse me..".
Ben suddenly seems to notice Ginny, trying to focus his eyes. "Ginny darling.. Oh shit Hiddles, is Ginny the woman you are madly in love with ?"
I freeze and my eyes go wide, I can see Ginny staring at me out the corner of my eye, I don't think I have ever felt this embarrassed or humiliated, actually I feel like crying. I had been so close to finally kissing her, but things just keeps getting in the way and I am starting to feel frustrated.
Luckily India shows up, dragging Ben with her, and I close my eyes, I just can't look at her right now. But I have to know what she is thinking, how she is reacting, so I force myself to open my eyes, but Ginny is gone.
I go into a panic, reminding myself to kill Ben slowly when he is sober, as I start to seach frantically for Ginny, calling her name over the music. I am pushing through people, ignoring the glares I get, I am on a mission, I need to find her.
I search everywhere, but there is no sign of her, then I see Laura, hoping she saw were Ginny went, I ran to her. "Laura !"
Laura lets out a breath and says. "There you are. Look Ginny is in her bedroom. What Ben said kind of ... freaked her out a bit. You should go talk to her".
I nod and hurries down the hallway, to the door India said, knocking gently on the door asking. "Can I come in ?"
I hear her muffled consent and opens the door, finding her sitting on the edge of the bed, her head low and a blanket over her legs. I close the door behind me asking. "Can we talk ?"

*Ginny POV*
I look up at him, I know there is confusion all over my face. "Why ?" I ask. "Why do you like me in that way ? I am nothing, just a soon to be middle-aged divorced housewife, and you are.. You".
"I don't even know what that is supposed to mean, but didn't you hear what Ben said ?" He says softly and I look at him. "I don't LIKE you in that way". Ouch, I think. "I am in love with you".
"What ?" My eyes widens, and I swallow before asking. "You are in love with me ?"
Tom breathes in deeply, his cheeks flushed and he is looking down, like he is feeling stupid, his hands fiddling with something. "I am". He croaks out. "I am sorry, I know it is a bit fast, and I didn't mean to tell you so soon".
He still isn't looking at me, just at his hand, turning a coin over and over between his fingers, and I know he has put a big part of himself out here, risking to be hurt.
He sighs and says. "I'll just.. I'll just go now". And without a second glance he turns to open the door, but as he puts his hand on the handle I call out. "Tom ?"
When he slowly turns, I stand by the end of the bed, my hands wringing in front of me. "Is that really true ?"
He nods and takes a step closer. "Yes, every word. I understand if you don't feel the same and I was planning on waiting to tell you, bit then Ben came and..".
"Tom !" He stops when he sees me giggle. "I think I felt something already the first day I met you in the park, but it scared me, I wasn't sure I was ready, I couldn't imagine you could be interested in me".
Tom gulps and bite his lips, asking timidly. "So you.. Do you.. Do you feel the same ?"
"You know.. Well.. Yeah I do, I know we haven't known each other for long, but I do, you seems to keep doing things that just sweeps me of my feet". I say blushing.
Tom lets out a huge breath and smiles widely, the coin in his hand falling to the floor, as he walks up to me, his hands cupping my face and his lips gracing across mine, whispering. "I'm aching to kiss you".
And I smile at him, asking. "What are you waiting for then ?"
And with that he is kissing me, slowly and sensually, like he is trying to savour the feeling and taste, but I can feel he wants more, I want more, so much more.
Seeking my permission, his tongue is grazing over my bottom lip, and I gladly accept, his tongue swirling around mine, and he taste like some kind of alcohol mixed with the unfamiliar taste of him, and it just higtens my arousal.
He moans into my mouth, then slowly pulls back, gracing his teeth on my bottom lip. "Ginny". He is panting, his hands caressing my back. "I need you, I need you so badly".
I ran my fingers into his hair, giving him a sly smile, saying cheekily. "What are you waiting for then ?"
A low growl rises from deep in his chest and he lifts me by my thighs, making me wrap my legs around his waist and I relish in the feeling of his mouth on my neck and collarbone.
Tom pushes me against the wall, trapping me with his body, and continuing to ravish my neck, his hands moving up under my dress, grabbing my ass and I close my eyes with pleasure.
He starts trailing his kisses down to the swell of my breasts, tugging at the material of my top with his teeth, clearly wanting it of, so I reach on my back, unclasping it and pulling it off, leaving me in a strapless black lacy bra.
"Fuck". Tom breathes. "You are so gorgeous". His hands are moving up my sides, running over my skin, leaving burning trails, cupping my breasts.
He lowers his head to let his tongue flick over my nipple through the material of the bra, making me gasp. "Oh Tom".
He groans hearing me moan his name, grinding his pelvis into mine, to try and ease the building tension. Quickly and with fumbling hands he unhooks my bra, throwing it somewhere in the room.
His mouth immediately latches on to my breast, flicking his tongue on my pink bud, earning more gasps and his name on my lips.
I grasp his hair, twisting it in my fingers and pulling it slightly, making him let out a long deep groan. "Oh Ginny". He mumbles against my breast. "Do that again please".
"You like that ?" I ask, clearly knowing the answer, and he grips my hips, pressing his very pronounced erection agains my pelvis, his voice almost a growl. "You know I do, every time you do that I get a massive hard-on, do you know how difficult it is to go on stage with the most painful erection in all of fucking history".
He continues his assault on my neck and breast and I continue to play with his hair. Just as he has moved to the second breast, the bedroom door fly open, making the both of us jump, when it crashes against the wall.
"Tooom are you in here, I.. Oh". Tom don't have to turn around to see who it is. "God dammit, Ben !" He shouts, as he tries to cover me up the best he can from Ben's wide and wandering eyes.
