Twelve Red Roses (a Tom Hiddleston fanfic)

Chapter 20- Midnight in Paris

Okay, so, I feel as if this chapter is sort of just junk. And the next one, too. I apologize. Please bare with me.

I was crying by the end of The Deep Blue Sea. I was crying, and I was more sexually attracted to Tom than ever. How could he keep something that big from he? He was... Incredible. Phenomenal. And his body. His naked body in that bed with that woman. His lips against hers as they passionately kissed. As they had an affair. I just loved everything. I couldn't believe that my Tom was this big. In a movie this important with such a role. He seemed so different, and so far away. I thought for a moment that maybe I had just dreamed meeting him, and I had to check our message history to reassure myself that he was, in fact, real.

I was about to put in Thor when Ruby and Phil came in, telling us it was time for the family dinner. And I didn't want to go. But I do, anyways. I follow Tori out, grabbing my purse and phone. Tom still hasn't seen the message I sent him. I desperately need to talk to him. I need to tell him I'm watching all of his movies.

We all four pile into a cab, miraculously fitting, and go to a restaurant of some sort. Tori has suddenly taken a liking in me, probably because I'm a 'fan' of Tom, so she actually talks to me instead of her parents. I remember being a teenager. It was hard. Well, more boring than hard, really.

Anyways, we come to a restaurant that looks rather good, and we are soon seated inside.

"Get anything you like, dear," Ruby tells me with a smile as she looks through her menu.

I smile and pick my my own menu. This feels nice, to be honest. I can't remember the last time I've even eaten with my family. Since I was young, I suppose. My mother and father rarely ate together after their divorce. Not even for my sake.

My phone buzzes in my pocket and I pull it out, keeping it under the table. That's what Tori was doing. Texting very discreetly. So I do the same.

That was a little random, love. Are you okay? You know I trust you. xT

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. -Cass

I wanted nothing more than to just call him and vent. Just to talk to him about how incredible I think he is in his movie. I want to be able to laugh and tease about the intense scene with his co-worker he had to have. I don't want to have to go behind his back. Perhaps I vould just give subtle hints?

Good. This place reminds me a lot of our joint back in Missouri. Except the music here isn't as awesome :) xxT

I'm glad you're having fun. I'm sort of busy, though. Dinner. Eating. Restaurant. I'll text you after, love xx -Cass

I quickly put my phone away, hearing it buzz once more. But I ignore it, figuring it's just him saying goodbye. I don't have much time to think about Tom, though, before Phil and Ruby start to interact with me and ask questions.

And I answer all of their questions, not even caring that sometimes I don't like to talk about myself. It felt nice to interact with someone other than Tom, and I have them actually be interested in where I'm from and what I'm doing in Illinois. Sure, Ruby and Phil were a little older with a teenage daughter of their own, but they were nice company. I enjoyed meeting new people to talk to. So this was certainly nice. We ate, talked, and I even convinced them to let me pay for my meal.

I finally returned to the hotel, and, even though I was exhausted, I put in Thor. I need to watch all of these. I shouldn't, but I will. And that's when I check my phone again.

Dinner where? With who? xT

Sorry, I didn't mean to ask so many questions. Just curious. Have fun, darling xT
