The moment I walked into my apartment, Melanie bomb'd me with questions. "So how was it? Did you like it? What did he offer you? Tell me everything!" she exclaimed excitedly, gripping my arms as she does so.

"Ouch!" I said as her nails dug deep into my skin, "First, settle down." I stated and she quickly took her bird sharp nails and hands off of me. "Secondly," I let out a breathe. Man, am I stressed. "Let's relax and talk about this over lunch?" She nodded her head and quickly went into the kitchen to make something. Melanie loved to cook, it calmed her down a lot. I cook also, but Melanie is the chef in this house. Mostly because she would rather cook than I would.

I took a seat down in the grey colored couch and sighed again. I placed my hand on my head and rubbed an area in circles. The only thought that was running through my head was, What am I getting myself into? I mean, Is this the best decision?

I closed my eyes for a bit when I heard the infamous bing, indicating that I received a text message.

(XXX)-XXX-XXXX: Hey Brianna! It's Mike, There's some information I forgot to tell you. You'll need to give Luke a call, and set up everything with him. Here's his number: +VVVVVVVVVVVV You'll do great! lots of love, Uncle Mike.

Great, Just what I needed. I debated if I should text Mike and tell him to rip the contract up, that I didn't want to participate in this anymore, but part of me wanted to give Luke a call. I wanted to try this in a way. What if I meet an incredible person that we become best friends? Life is giving me lemons and I'm going to make lemonade out of them.

"Lunch is ready!" A now calmed voice yelled from the kitchen. I stood up slowly and walked to the kitchen, dreading about talking about the deal with Melanie. I know she wants the best for me but is this the best for me? I feel like a prostitute giving myself to a man for what pleasure? Happiness? If it was happiness than he's my sugar daddy. That leaves a distaste on my tongue.

I took a deep breathe and smell the left over of the grilled chicken and see a bowl of Caesar Salad on the middle of the table. I sat down and she quickly sat down after.

"Okay Spill."

Tom

I laughed as Sophia told another one of her stories. My life has been a rollercoaster lately, with the release of Only Lovers Left Alive in the US and the filming of Thor: A Dark World, I barely have a breather. I'm only glad that I've been able to spend time with Sophia.

Sophia is one of my friends girlfriend's best friend or something like that. We met a small get together in London, and since I'm back home for a small break, I decided to hang out with her. Things aren't serious between me and her but I do take a liking in her.

Finding a girl is hard, especially since I've been traveling, filming and well, I am a celebrity. I was about to mention something to Sophia when my phone rang. I looked down at the I.D and it was Like, my amazingly cool manager.

"Hey love, I gotta take this." I apologize as I stand up to walk outside to the balcony of her home. "Oh no worries!" She smiles brightly and I flash her a small smile. Her smile was beautiful, it brightens up her face and can make any person's mood better.

I sighed as I took the phone call, "Hey Luke."

"Tom! I have some very exciting news for you!" he claimed happily over the phone.

"Well spit it out, mate!" I laughed, he was never really this happy. Must be a new film that he managed for me to get an audition for.

"But we have to discuss this in person, there's some documents that you need to sign and things like that. I'll be at your flat in 30 minutes tops." He started and ended the call.

Documents for me to sign? That's a bit odd. I never really have to sign documents. I was baffled, and a bit suspicious. I don't recall ever doing a deal or talking about a deal with Luke. I looked at the time, 11:30am. Guess I have to go to to my flat so I can meet Luke.

I walked back to where Sophia was and put my hand on my neck. It's a habit of mine, I usually do it when I'm nervous, or guilty of something.

"I have to go." I said, biting my lip slightly. I didn't want her to think I wasn't having a good time because I was. Sophia is a nice person to be around, she's great.

"Oh." she pouted slightly, disappointment clear on her face. She masked it quickly with a smile as she stood up and hugged me. "It was great seeing you again! We have to do this again some time." She looked me in the eyes.

My heart tugged a bit knowing that I might not be the man that she needs in her life but also because who knows when the next time we see each other. "Yes, I would love that." I replied. I hugged her back and placed a small kiss on her cheek. "I'll call you." She nodded her head and I was out the door.

Oh Sophia.

I reached my flat in 20 minutes, I had 10 minutes to spare before Luke came. Or so I thought. As soon as I reached the elevator, I saw Luke waiting for me at the door. "Bloody hell Tom! Where were you?"

"Erm. I was at a friend's house, nevermind that. Let's see what documents I have to sign." I smile weakly as I walk into my own flat. It's been awhile since i've been here really. I'm never really here and If I am, I'm rarely ever alone.

"So, Remember when you were filming Only Lovers Left alive, I told you that you had to find a girlfriend in order to bump up ratings for yourself?" Luke stated as soon as we both sat on the comfy grey couch. I nodded my head, placing on my of long legs on top of my knee and relaxing a bit. My right arm was placed on the couch, while my hand rubbed my temple. This is what I call the Tom Hiddleston Is Paying Attention posture. Quite a beautiful posture, might I say so myself.

"Well. Since you obviously haven't found any ladies," He scoff and I was about to protest saying that I found Sophia and that we can work out, but he cut my thoughts off.

"I found you one. Her name is Brianna Katherine Morello, lives in the states, born and raised there actually. Is 25 years old, single, works at a Law Firm as an assistant to Mark James Curtis, a lawyer based from Brooklyn, is going to UCLA for her PHD. Did I mention she's single?" He raised his eyebrows and handed me her documents.

I feel like I'm in a really weird episode of Law and Order. I chuckled at the thought of it. I looked at photos of her; Wow, she's breathtaking. Absolutely stunning. Has beautiful curves and full lips, my I think i'm getting a bit excited. I put the photos down and looked back at Luke. "She's beautiful." I say, and then a contract comes to view. "A contract?" I asked, my eyebrows raising.

"Erm. Yes, you see. She signed a contract that agreed that she'll be your girlfriend for the next year, and now you have the final decision. " He said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

I licked my bottom lip and bit it. I really had to think this through.

"So practically she's a prostitute?" I blurted out without thinking. My eyes widen at what just left my mouth. Luke's eyes widen too, don't think I've ever seen them this wide. "Tom, She's not a prostitute nor an escort, she is an employee. Trust me, we would never hire a woman who isn't fit for the credentials. She's a good woman, give her a shot."

"I want to have a skype call with her first, before I do anything." I said, not knowing that It'll all be like this.
