Meeting Tom

The Day Has Finally Come

"Hailey, I can't do this. What if I say the wrong thing and he hates me? What if my accent comes out?! What if I faint? Dear god, what am I going to do?!"

"Cassandra, calm down. Listen to me, you'll do fine. Just take a deep breath, and close your eyes. Everything will turn out fine, I'm sure of it. And if it doesn't, you can come over and we'll eat all the junk food we can buy and watch Netflix, ok?"

"*sigh* Alright. I'm going to go in there and answer his questions and be calm. Thanks. I'll call you back when it's over. Bye."

"Bye, love."

*Ok, Cassandra, get your shit together. Calm down. You'll do fine, be professional.* How can I keep my cool? I'm finaly meeting Tom! There's no way I'm going to pull this off. But I'm in need of a job and he is looking to hire an assistant. I need this. I need to be able to pull this off and finally make one of my dreams come true.*

*knock knock*

*Ok, deep breaths Cassandra, deep breaths. Inhale and exhale. Inhale and exhale.*

"Oh, hello, darling. You must be Cassandra."

*Oh my god. There he is. Wow. I can't believe it's really him. Ok, shake his hand, go in, answer the questions. Be professional. Wait, what's that feeling? Please don't tell me it is what I think. Goddamn it!*

"Are you alright? Cassandra?"

*I can't believe I fainted. There goes my chance to having this job and meeting him without him thinking I'm a complete idiot. Greeaat. Where am I?*

"You're awake! Great! Are you alright? I couldn't catch you quick enough and you hit your head pretty bad."

*Dear god, I'm in his house. Wait..- he caught me?! Oh my god. Oh my god. Tom Hiddleston carried me in his arms. Oh my god. Ok, keep it together.*

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine, thank you. I'm sorry about that. I don't know what happened. I was fine one second and the next..-"

"Don't worry about it. It's alright. Need anything?"

"No, thank you. I'm sure I already caused enough trouble for you as it is. If anything, I think I should be leaving. I don't want to waste your time."

"It's quite alright, don't worry. I'm not doing anything important. You're here for the assistant position, right?"

"Yes, sir. But I have a feeling I kind of ruined it by what happened earlier."

"Of course not. Don't be foolish. You'd be surprised how often that happens to me."

*Heh, not really.*

"Anyway, on to the interview. I will leave the "interrogation" to my secretary. I'm going to go take a quick shower and I will be back when you are finished. Good luck, Cassandra. I'm sure you'll do great."

"Thank you, Mr. Hiddleston."

"Please, call me Tom. See you in a bit, darling."
