Not A Mistake ~ Tom Hiddleston

OO5 ~ The Tour

You're excited and you cannot wait any longer for Tom to pick you up. Although there are a lot of nerves coursing through your body since it's not everyday that this is happening to you. Besides, Tom is your absolute favourite human being ever so being nervous is quite normal around him.

When it's around twelve fifteen, you hear a knock on your door. All excited you open the door, greeting Tom with a big smile on your face. You tell him you're almost done, you just need to grab the final things. You get a hand through your purse to check if everything is in it. Sunglasses, lipstick, perfume (In case you're going to smell), same goes for deodorant, phone and of course, the key to your room. Tom looks at you intently as he follows your every step, smiling at you when you approach him. 'I'm ready' You say, following him out of the room and pulling the door shut behind you. 'I'm really looking forward to hanging out with you, Tom' You shyly say once you walk beside him. He replies with a smirk, answering you with a soft me too.

He first takes you to see the Big Ben although that is the one thing you've already seen on your first day. But you react in awe, not letting him know that. He is taking the time for you and you should appreciate that. After the Big Ben, he takes you towards the London Eye, where you get into a cabin together. There are a few other people in it but no one seems to care about the celebrity in their presence. Bonus for you of course because they don't interrupt you now with questions for autographs and pictures. The view is incredible and you believe you could see all of London when you reach the top. 'Wow' You let out, causing Tom to chuckle. 'It's stunning, isn't it?' He gazes at the London skyline with you and sighs. 'I love it here, although very populair to tourists, the view is just so amazing! I'd like to come here often when it's not so busy. Just like now' He laughs while saying the last sentence.

Stepping out of the cabin, several people approach the two of you, asking for an autograph and a picture. It had to come sometime. He is a celebrity after all. And quite the populair one. He smiles at the fans, granting them their requests and saying goodbye with a hug, even waving at them when they leave. 'You must get that all the time' You say but he shakes his head. 'No, not at all. I live a rather normal life which I'm very blessed with. Occasionally something like this happens and then I also feel blessed' He chuckles and you two start moving again. 'It's a nice life, really. And it has its peaks with fans coming towards me. Like, when a new Thor movie comes out. Then there are fans all over me for at least three months. I'm just really glad they haven't found my home' He says, frowning a little. 'Yet' He then adds. It makes you laugh and you're happy he sees the humour in all of it. You can tell that he truly loves his fans. 'And like I said before, I'm very blessed with my life. And I owe a lot to fans. Without them, I wouldn't be where I was today' He guides you towards a small café where you two take a seat. 'You know that directors, producers, casting agency's etc. They all look at your popularity. You have to start small of course but once someone notices you, it can go up really fast. You gain fans within months and you start to attract the big names' You listen intently at him. You can hardly imagine that Tom was once a simple actor, at the bottom of the ranks. 'So, popularity and fans are the key to success' You let out a sigh and frown. 'Sounds difficult' You say and he nods. 'It is, and then you have to keep all of it. One wrong move and you throw your whole career down the drain' Oh shit.. Being famous is not easy. To switch topics, he asks some more questions about you and your life. He is really interested in you and although that makes you nervous with excitement, you also find it so incredibly sweet that he shows so much interest.

A waiter comes at your table and both of you order some drinks. Eating is the last thing you think about now. You're not hungry at all and you know that's because of the adrenaline that's coursing through your body but you also know that if you would eat something now, it would only make you nauseous.
It doesn't take long before the waiter comes back with your drinks.

The day goes by smoothly and you're having such a great time but it's time for you to go back towards the hotel and go pack your things. You have a plane home to catch tonight and you want to be on time. Although you tell Tom that it's fine, he insists on helping you pack. Within the hour you're done and Tom offers to take you towards the airport. You couldn't deny even if you wanted to.

'Thank you' You say as it's really time for you to leave. 'Thank you for everything in these past few days! Your letter back to me, the meet&greet, the surpise visit in my hotel room and our date. I don't know if I may call it that, perhaps it's only the tour of the city you live in but thank you either way! You truly are one of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting' You smile and look at him closely while saying your thanks. You want to take in every feature of his face now that you still can. Of course you can just look him up on the internet but you mean his real life features, not his "good side" on a photograph. 'You're welcome, {y/n}. It was really nice to meet you and I really hope to see you again' He smiles, getting his hands out of the pocket of his pants before beckoning you over to embrace you. He wraps his arms tightly around you and you curl yours around him. 'I'll miss your cheery laughter, love' He whispers in your ear before pressing a soft kiss on your cheek and slipping something in the back pocket of your jeans, accidentally touching your butt in the process. Your face turns hot red within seconds and he quickly apologizes and lets you go. All is forgiven when you also see the embarrassment on his face but a small smirk is visible. Besides, who can say that Tom Hiddleston touched their butt?

'Alright, love. You're going to miss your flight' You quickly snap out of your thoughts, hastily grab your boarding pass and bag before walking off. You wave at Tom and quickly turn the corner. You know that if you keep standing there, that you'll never want to leave.

Getting on the plane was easy and you exhale with a loud sigh, thinking about today. What a wild ride these past few days were and it's sad to go home again. You know it was going to end sooner or later but you'd wsh you could stay a little longer in this short moment of bliss. You just hope he remembers you when a play from Shakespeare comes to town. You close your eyes and wait for the plane to leave. Within fourtyfive minutes you'll be back in your own country and that will be the very end of your short but fantastic adventure.

Halfway through the flight you remember that Tom slipped something in your pocket. You feel a note and you gently pull it out, afraid it might rip in half on accident. You open the neatly folded peace of paper and read the messy handwriting.

Call me if you're still interested to see Hamlet. (;

Oh. My. God. The Janice in your mind speaks. Did he just.. What.. No.. Huh? He gave you his number? His actual phone number? Fuck me! You can't stop the gasp that is leaving your lips, making the other passengers stare at you. Some in amusement and others in annoyance. You quickly push the note back in your pocket. You can't wait for the plane to land so you can use your phone again. My gosh, if you're still interested? Please! You were born interested!
You hold in your squeal. You'll let it out once you have some more privacy and where no one in particular can hear you. The light of the seatbelts go on. You can almost call him. Or perhaps tomorrow since it's already quite late.
