Two Giants & A Little Lady | Tom Hiddleston, Lee Pace

Surprise!

*

After a week of Tom lying in the hospital bed and fussing about like a little baby, he was finally back at his hotel room. Lee was with him as much as the shooting of the movie allowed him to, and Avery spent much of her days with him. She only wished she could be with him all the time, but she had a house to take care of and surely her uncle wouldn't want her away, now that he finally stopped disappearing.

So when Tom was fully recovered, Orlando had a special surprise for his niece and his two friends. They would know the reason why he was away so much, the only time anyone seeing him was on the set of the film. He arranged a dinner at his house, inviting all three of them as well as the mystery person.

Avery was already prepared, wearing a pale pink dress that reached her knees. To match her, sort of, Lee wore a dark red sweater and as usual, Tom was dressed in blue slacks and a pale blue button-up shirt. Now they were waiting for the person to arrive, the three of them waiting patiently as they sat on the sofa while Orlando ran around the dining area frantically, trying to make sure everything was perfect. After all, this was his first serious date since his wife left him.

''Orlando. Calm down. I am sure things are already perfect.'' Tom tried to calm down his friend, gazing at him from behind the sofa. Lee and Avery were both too busy thinking about the situation with Tom's nurse at the hospital, Jenny.

''No! I still see flaws.'' Orlando whined as he waved around the table, pointing at random things. Tom sighed and got up, walking over to the other male and gave him a gentle slap on the cheek.

''Calm. The fuck. Down.'' He practically growled, which somehow made Orlando do exactly what Tom instructed him to do.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang and all four of them stopped what they were doing. In fact, they even stopped moving as they listened to the doorbell ring again.

''I'll answer!'' Avery called as she got up, fixing her dress to make sure there weren't any wrinkles. Calmly and slowly, she walked to the front door. She plastered a smile on her face after taking a deep breath and opened the front door.

''Hello!'' The woman on the other side of the door greeted, looking at Avery enthusiastically. 

At that moment, Avery paled. She couldn't do anything as she was petrified by fear. If she could, she would go to find the nearest rock and bury herself underneath like Patrick Star does in Bikini bottom.

The woman said nothing to the way Avery as acting towards her as she simply pushed her way in as if she was the owner of the property. It was Jenny. The mystery woman who completely messed with Orlando's head was the same person who tried to take Avery's place in their relationship. Jenny, the demon nurse.

''I.. Hello.'' Avery frowned in confusion as she slowly closed the front door and stood there, absentmindedly staring at the door handle.

''My, my, what a lovely home.'' Jenny sighed with a big, fake as the plants in the living room smile as she looked around the place. 

''Thank you. It's a rental though. My real one is back at London. Twice as big.'' Orlando babbled as he stared at Jenny, Jenny staring back at him. 

She had it all planned out. Using Orlando as a pawn to get closer to Tom and Lee. To ruin Avery's happiness because she had the two men who, in hr mindset, belong to her, not Avery. 

''I'm sure I'll love it.'' Jenny giggled, making Orlando's knees weak as she took off her coat and threw it at his niece as if she was nothing but a maid. 

''In this house, we hang up our own coats.'' Tom glared at the woman as he walked past her, pulling Avery behind him by her hand. Before he did that, he snatched the coat from her frozen arms and swung it in the first corner he saw. 

He pulled out a chair for Avery and waited until she sat down, Lee following suit. Both males sat on either side of her in a protective manner. Clearly, this nurse had something against Avery and they wanted to protect her from the crazy that was sitting at the dining table across from them.

''OKay. That was not weird at all. Let's eat!'' Orlando commented as Jenny sent him a small smile, already a little regretting the whole dinner thing.

The dinner consisted of a big bowl of spaghetti, cooked by Avery. A big bowl of bolognese sauce, provided from the local supermarket. A basket of white bread and another big bowl, containing a simple mixed salad. There were two candles lit in the centre of the table, scented ones, for decoration and good smell purposes.

''Can you pass me the bread, sweetheart?'' Jenny asked Avery, her fake smile still stuck to her face as she stared her down. She knew it made her feel uncomfortable as she saw Avery fidget under her gaze.

Tom and Lee each placed their hand on each of Avery's thighs, silently comforting her. They weren't sure what this woman was getting at, but without any further evidence, they couldn't just tell Orlando about her true nature. Orlando doesn't even know about the incident at the hospital.

Avery nodded briefly as she picked up the basket with sliced bread, her hands shaking slightly while passing the basket. Jenny being Jenny, she smirked at the poor girl and went to grab the basket only to forcefully pull it towards her. The basket clashed into the wine-filled glass, which then spilt all over the table and of course, Jenny's dress. Just as planned.

''Why would you do that?'' Jenny screeched, standing up abruptly as her hands flailed around, the white dress soaking up all the liquid. All Avery could do was sit there totally dumbfounded, staring at the big, red mess.

''She didn't do it. You did.'' Lee frowned as he stood up as well, having a brief staredown with Jenny before she turned towards Orlando.

''Look at what she did! I told you she wouldn't like me!'' She whined as she covered her face with her hands, pretending to cry. You'd think Orlando would notice the fake tears, but no.  Not a chance.

''What is the matter with you?!'' Orlando yelled, his eyes burning into Avery as she continued to just stared at Jenny. She still had no idea what had happened. Whenever she was yelled at, she went into a survival mode. Which meant to stand still, doing and saying nothing.

''Hold up! Avery didn't do shit, okay? Jenny literally yanked the basket out of Avery's hand!'' Tom yelled back, defending his girlfriend. 

''Right, because she would be that stupid!'' Orlando yelled back while furiously pointing at his niece. 

Jenny screeched again as she suddenly stormed off to the kitchen, slamming the door behind her. Tom decided to follow her, to find out exactly what this woman was playing at.

''What are you doing here?'' He asked her in a demanding tone, glaring at her. If looks could kill, he would have killed her at least a hundred times ever since he saw her walk into the house.

''I'm here to get my men.''
