The Girl in the gilded cage (A Tom Hiddleston story)

An awkward conversation

*Tom*
I just lay there watching her. She is truly the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. And I love her more each day. Sometimes it feels like I almost can't contain it and that I am going to burst with love. I am more than ready to move on and I know that she feels she is. She showed that trying to take of my pants. But I am so scared I could hurt her, she is such a tiny little thing and well not to sound boastfull, but I am not.
When I am certain that she is sleeping soundly I untangle myself from her and walks out on the deck sitting down . I pull out my phone and call my sister.
"Hi Tom. How are you doing ? Were are you now ?" My sisters happy voice sound when she pics up the phone. "Hi sis. I am fine. We are in Ohio. What about you ?"
I know she is rolling her eyes. "We are all fine. So were you just missing your sister or did you have a reason to call ?"
"I kind of need you advise. It is kind of very embarrassing to talk about, but I need a womans perspective". I might be studdering slightly. I am not to fond about talking to my sister about these things. But she is the woman I trust the most and I need a womanly advice.
"Oh". My sister suddenly sounds very interested. "And what is it that you need my advice on ? I shouldn't be so lucky that is has to do with a woman ?"
"Yeah Emma, it has to do with a woman. I kind of met someone". I tell her and her her squeal happily in the other and of the line. "Oh God Tom. I am so happy to hear that. Who is she ? And is it serious ?"
I smile to myself. Me and my sister has always been very close. "Yeah it is serious. Very serious to be honest. I know it sounds like I am getting ahead of myself, but I am sure she is the one.. my soulmate. Her name is Malina and she works in the circus".
"Let me guess, she was the one working on the tightrope right ? Does she know you are this serious about her ?" She says softly.
I might have gasped in surprise. "How do you know ? And well I am not sure she know how serious. But she knows that I am serious".
"Oh but Tom, you are my brother.It is my job to know everything. I hear she is very beautiful. But.. I kind of hate to ask, but isn't she very young". She sounds a bit worried.
I take a deep breath. This is were the hard part starts. "So Sophie told you. She is 22. I know she is young but it doesn't matter to us. She is very mature".
"I trust you Tom. If you two are happy and it works for you, the age isn't a problem. And she is an adult just ignore it if anyone has a problem with it". She says.
"Thanks sis. I am happy that you are okay with it. But well the isn't easy. Her family is very old fashioned and she isn't allowed to date so we are keeping it a secret for now. Her father want to see her married of to someone from the cirkus". I tell.
I can feel her sympathy through the phone. "Oh sweetie. That I am sorry to hear. But be strong. Let her family get to know you. I never met someone who disliked you when they knew you".
"Thanks.. I hope you are right". I swallow nervously. "Well this is really awkward, believe me it is for me too. Emma, she is a virgin.. I am scared shitless that I could hurt her".
She giggles. "Oh God you are so sweet Tom. I love that you are given it so much thought. Not many men would. But don't overthink it sweetie. Does she seems to want to ?"
"Uhh yeah I think so.. I mean.. uh .. I shit this is the weirdest conversation I ever had.. okay well we've done other stuff.. or I have. And well she seems to enjoy it quite a lot. We are staying alone in a cabin for the night and well.. she tried taking of my pants when we were making out". My face is beet red.
My sister blows out a breathe. "Well yes it is a bit weird but hey if you can't ask your sister for help.. But sound like you are right. That she wants more too. And she is old enough to make that decision. Why is it that you are scared you might hurt her ?"
"God Emma I can't believe you are making me say this.. to be very blunt, she is very small, like 155 cm tops and maybe 40-45 kg. She is like half my size. That alone would make me scared I could hurt her. But well the rest of her fits you know.." I almost whisper it.
There is a bit of silence. I can almost hear the gears click into place in my sisters head. "oh.. oh .. OOOHH.. well it would be logical that she is uhmm small being such a tiny thing and a virgin.. but believe me women are quite flexible. Don't worry so much Tom and please stop this conversation okay".
I can hear Malina softly calling my name. "Thanks sis.. and sorry again for putting you through this. I need to go she is awake. Talk to you soon".
"Talk to you Tom and well.. good luck". She says, before hanging up.
