Meeting Tom

Moment Of Truth

                                                                       

*Hailey, come on, answer!* 

*ring, ring*

"Cassandra? What took you so long to call? It's already 8 pm."

"Is it? Jesus, I must've been out for a while...-"

"Wait, what? What do you mean you were 'out for a while'?"

"As soon as he opened the door and I saw him, I fainted. He said he tried to catch me but he wasn't quick enough and I ended up hitting my head pretty hard. He brought me inside and layed me on the couch until I woke up."

"Are you alright? How's your head? Did you mess it up?"

"I'm fine, don't worry. I'll just have a bump on my head for a while. But apparently, that didn't mess anything up. He was completely fine with it and wanted to go on with the interview. He didn't ask the questions himself, he let his secretary do it instead. He went to take a shower. And we talked when he got out. He was dressed, of course. Not too lucky on that one."

"Well, did you get the job? What did he say?"

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about..."

"You didn't get it did you? Oh, honey, I'm sorry. Want to come over?"

"I'll come over. But it's actually for the opposite reason...- I GOT THE JOB!!"

"Holy shit! You lucky bastard! You know what this means?! You actually get to work alongside THE Tom Hiddleston! We have to celebrate tonight."

"I'll come over, but no drinking. I have to get up early tomorrow to go to work. He wants me to go back to his house so we can actually meet properly and get to know each other more."

"Oh, alright. Get your ass over here! I've got everything ready."

"Alright, alright. I'm coming. See you in a bit."

*the next morning*

*Oh, god. My head. What happened? Ugh, I don't feel well. Wait...- SHIT. What time is it?! Goddamn it, I'm late! Thanks Hailey, you have ruined my second chance at meeting him. Now, where is my other shoe? Ah, there it is. I need to go home and clean up at least a bit. Look presentable. I don't want him thinking I'm a slob."

 *I need to call him to tell him that I am coming to meet him*

"Yes, hello, can I speak to Mr. Hiddleston? My name is Cassandra, the new intern. Ok, thank you."

"Cassandra? You alright? I thought we were meeting up an hour ago."

"Yes, I'm really sorry, sir. I was just..- busy. My friend and I just moved here and I was helping her with her apartment and such. I hope I haven't screwed up again."

"Oh, alright. I understand. I'll let it slide this time, since I know what it's like to have to settle into a new place and all, but if this happens again, I'm afraid I'll have no other choice but to let you go, darling. I'll wait here, but please hurry."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Hiddleston. I promise it won't happen again. I'm on my way. See you in a minute. Bye."

"Bye, Cassandra."

*Greatest. Boss. Ever. Ok, I need to brush my teeth and fix my hair and make up. Should only take a couple of minutes.*

*15 minutes later*

*Ok, here we go again.*

*knock knock knock*

"Hello. Come on in."

"Hello, Mr. Hiddleston. Again, I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

"It's alrght, don't worry, you're here now. How are you and your friend liking London so far?"

"Absolutely love it. We needed to get away from the blistering heat of Texas and this is just perfect."

"You love cold weather?"

"Yes, sir. I would rather have a million layers to be warm than to take practically everything off and still be extremely hot."

"*mumble* I sure would love going to Texas in the summer with you then..- Ahem! So, how'd you find out about the opening?"

*Did he just say that?! Oh my god. Ok, calm down.*

"Well, my friend and I have always wanted to move here and work, so we were looking for jobs and I came across the ad and, being a huge fan of yours, I decided to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd make it here, to be honest, but here we are. And I couldn't be happier to work by your side, sir. It truly is a dream come true for me."

"Well, thank you. I didn't think we'd be able to find the right person for the job, kowing that many fans would come in and have no qualification for the job, but I, too, am glad we found the right person and that you are able to join me."

"Thank you, Mr. Hiddleston. So, what did you want me to do today, sir?"

"Well, since today is introducing you to things, I want to show you around. nothing too exciting, I'm sorry. But you will have to excuse me for a couple of minutes, I have to go get ready for a meeting. Feel free to walk around and familiarize yourself with everything since you will be spending most of your time here with me. If you want anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'll see you in a bit, darling. Bye."

" Bye, sir."

*Oh, wow. His house is huge..- Hmm. I wonder where the kitchen is, I really want something to drink and I don't want to bother anyone...-*

"Hello, ma'am, can I help you?" 

"Oh, uh, I'm just looking for the kitchen. Just a bit thirsty, that's all."

"Follow me, ma'am, I'll take you there."

"Ok, thank you. I hope I'm not bothering you."

"Of course not, my job is to assist Mr. Hiddleston and his guests, ma'am."

"Oh, ok. Well, thank you for helping me."

"No problem. What is your name?"

"Cassandra Clark. Yours?"

"Carson Fredickson, ma'am. You have a beautiful name, Ms. Clark."

"Thank you, Carson. Please call me Cassandra."

"Ok, Cassandra. Well, here is the kitchen. I guess I'll see you around. Bye."

"Hopefully I do. Thank you again, Carson. Bye."
