A One in a Million Love

Chapter 11

The next day went the same as before. The whole crew worked hard as some of the trickier scenes were being shot. There was a little bit of rewriting that Ali had to do that day. She thought it went well, considering that it was her first time for doing any of it. Elliot gave her a thumbs' up after she passed out the papers with the new words on them. Tommy ate with her for lunch since he was not in the scene they were working on. They ate in the back of the lot so not to disturb anyone. Towards the end of their meal, Nigel and Ollie joined them. The four of them had a great report together and they almost were always laughing. Tommy was called to the make-up room for a touch up before he went on next. He kissed her cheek as he went past.

Nigel raised an eyebrow at her as Ollie's jaw dropped open.

She looked at them with a smile and said, "Oh stop. Like you have never done anything like it before!"

"Well not with anyone as pretty as you," Ollie said to try and down play the surprise.

"Aye, and never a ginger! Tommy better be careful-I have heard about you gingers and how you lack a soul and have special powers!" Nigel replied.

She laughed, "Well maybe you should raise your standards!" And she kissed both of them on the cheek and went back to her chair to read up on what was next.

They watched her walk away, and then looked at each other.

"Bloody hell, he didn't waste any time did he!"

"Nope, I just hope they both know what they are doing. I desperately need a pint right now!"

Instead they clinked their water bottles and talked among themselves about the newest couple. They weren't the only ones that saw the interaction. CoCo saw it and thought she would have to call Lila and see if she had any thoughts. Eleanor also saw it and wasn't pleased. She had her sights set on Tom and wasn't going to let some American that no one had heard of, sweep in and lay claim what she thought should be hers again.

Elliot stopped filming for the day about 6:45 and Tommy immediately came up to Ali and asked if she wanted to prep together again. She agreed and they collected their belongings and walked to his car again. They enjoyed the short drive to her hotel and walked in again. They went up to her suite and took off their coats. He picked up the menu and the discussed dining options and decided on seafood pasta and salads.

Once he hung up the phone after ordering he turned and went up to her and kissed her again. It was just as amazing as they both remembered. She stood there and just let him explore her mouth with his tongue as his hands went into her hair to run his fingers through it. He had wanted to do that since he saw her in that board room.

She wrapped her arms around his chest and could feel the contours of his muscles through his shirt. She ran her hands up and down his back. She didn't know it, but that was driving him crazy. Everywhere her hands touched left a trail of fire and he loved it. She had no idea how long they stood there, but only pulled away when a knock on the door pulled them out of their haze. She took a few deep breathes as she went to the door and opened it to see the young bellhop with their food. She discovered that his name was Henry. She thanked him and asked if she had any mail or messages at the front desk and he told her not today. She thanked him again and reminded her when they were done with their meal to leave the dishes in the hall way and they would collect it later.

They sat at the table, eating and going over the scenes for tomorrow. They worked for 2 hours before they took a break. He looked at her and tilted his head to the side.

"What? Did I spill on my shirt?"

"No...I was just thinking, how beautiful you are."

"Thank you," she said blushing.

"No really Ali. You are one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. Why don't you believe me?"

"Because with the exception of my parents and grandparents, no one has ever told me that before..."

"Are you serious? Not any guy you dated? Not the arse you were married to?"

"Not really..."

"Well that will have to change, starting now!"

He got up from the table, pulled her up from her chair and wrapped his arms around her. "Alison, you are beautiful..." and he kissed again, making her toes curl.

She felt beautiful at that moment and didn't want that feeling to ever end. He pulled away and looked at her, with desire in his eyes, resting their foreheads together.

"Get used to it; I'm going to be saying it a lot. I better go, you need to sleep. I on the other hand need a cold shower."

She looked at him and could tell he was sincere with his words. She felt his hand reach for hers as she walked him to the door. He turned to her again and pulled her to his body. He grinned at her as he lowered his lips to hers, kissing her. Her heart skipped beats and her breathing was erratic. He pulled away and kissed her nose.

"Good night Ali. I will see you in the morning. Want to do this again tomorrow?"

"Absolutely...Good night Tommy..."

He walked down the hallway to the lift. She watched him walk to the lift, noticing how muscular he was as well as how tall he was. She loved that he was over six foot. Dave was only about five foot ten; and she couldn't wear good heels like she really liked to do. Since she was single, she had been wearing some great ones the last year. It was a habit she could continue with him.

Wait, she thought, don't get ahead of yourself. You have haven't even gone on a date with him. Relax and take it naturally she thought. She went into the bathroom and turned on the shower, thinking about their night. She genuinely enjoyed being around him. They shared a similar work ethic and a love of laughter. She dried her hair after she got on her pajamas and lay down on the comfy bed. She turned the tv on to have some white noise to help drowned out the thoughts in her head. She set the timer, watching the London news and fell asleep.
