Meeting Tom

The Meeting

*Wow, his house is pretty big..- Do I hear the shower running? Oh, dear god, is he taking a shower? Ok, if he comes out without a shirt and nothing but a towel, you need to be strong, Cassandra, no more fainting. Keep it together. The shower stopped. Ok, ok. Calm.* 

"Oh, hello darling. Sorry about this..- awkward situation. Let me get dressed and I will get back to you."

*10 minutes later*

"Hey, sorry about earlier, I bet that was awkward. Uh..- Oh, wow, I didn't realize what time it was. I'm sorry, love, but I gotta run. I have a meeting to get to and it appears I'm a tad late. What day is best for you to come back?"

"Oh, yeah, I'll get out of your way. It's fine, it's my fault for coming over so late. Any day that is ok with you. I don't have anything planned at all this week, so it's up to your choosing, sir."

"Great. Uh..- Friday evening? Is it ok if it's in the evening, or would you prefer to meet up in the morning or afternoon?"

"Evening is fine. I'll see you then. Bye, Mr. Hiddleston. Good luck with your meeting. I hope I didn't get you in trouble."

"No, of course not, I'm sure she'll understand."

*phone rings* 

"Oh, excuse me, Cassandra. I gotta take this. Hello? Yes, hello. I'm on my way. *whispers* I'll see you Friday evening, love. Bye. Take care. *normal voice* Yeah, sorry, I met up with the new intern, I'll be there. What? Oh, can we not do this now? I'll be there shortly, just calm down." 

*muffled shouting coming from phone*

" Bye, Mr. Hiddleston."

*Geez, whoever that is needs to calm their tits. I'm sure I didn't make him THAT late. Poor Tom. I hope I didn't get him in trouble...-*

*20 minutes later*

*I want to call him to see if everything is ok..- but I don't think that's a good idea. Maybe he's busy with whoever called him earlier and I'd be interrupting..- I'll ask him tomorrow, I guess. Better to wait. I have a voicemail?"

"You have one missed call from Matthew"

*Oh, fuck me, what does he want."

"Hey, Cassandra, it's Matthew again. Can you call me back? I really want to talk to you. I miss you, babe. Please please call me back. I want to fix things between us. I still love you."

"End of voicemail."

*Ugh. What the hell is he thinking calling me and calling me "babe" after what he did. Dumbass prick, thinks he can get me back. Why do I have to deal with the assholes? What did I ever do to deserve this shit?"

*Speed dial and ringing*

*Hailey, I need you to answer. Please.*

"Hey, what's up."

"You won't believe who just called me."

"....- Tom?"

"No, Matthew. He left me a voicemail saying that he wants me to call him and that he wants to fix things between us. I can't believe he has the guts to even think that that's a possibility."

"Are you fucking kidding me? Fucking asshole, after what he did he has no right to even have your number. Want me to call him and see what the fuck is going on? Because if you do, you know he will pull the suicide card again and you'll end up going back to him just because you don't want him to do it."

"No, I think I'll handle this. But thank you. If something happens, I will call you and let you know. Thank you for being there when this shit happens."

"Alright, but please don't even think about going back with him just because he threatens to kill himself. You know he won't do it and is just guilt tripping you. If you need me, I'm here, love."

"I won't. I'm not that stupid anymore. I'm just going to talk to him and see what's up. Thank you. I'll call you to let you know how things go. Bye, hon."

"Bye, gorgeous."

*Ok, here we go, Be strong Cassandra. You cannot be weak again. I don't want to deal with him again. Ever. It's not good. Especially now that I have an amazing job with the sexiest man alive."

*Dialing and ringing*

*Come on asshole, pick up.*

"Cassandra! Hey. Thank you for calling m..-"

"Yeah, yeah, what do you want, Matthew?"

"Ok, straight to the point. I always liked that about you."

"Matthew, shut up and tell me what the fuck you want. I don't have time for your shit. I have to wake up early tomorrow to go to work."

"Oh, you got a job! That's great. I just wanted to talk about us. I really miss you. I just want to know if there is at least a small chance of you taking me back. I've been really lonely and I need you. You're the only person that has been able to make me happy and I haven't been able to smile since you left. I want my angel back."

"Ok, Matthew, I'm going to have to stop you right there. I left because you were a complete prick to me and I don't need more of those in my life. I know you're going to pull the suicide stunt again like you always do to get me to take you back. I don't want you back Matthew, I'm done with whatever we had. I don't love you anymore. You ruined that yourself by not telling me the truth and kept lying the whole time. I never want to be with you again. You're far too needy and can't seem to handle things alone. So no thank you, I'll pass."

"Cassandra..-"

"Goodbye, Matthew. Don't ever call me again."

*Hangs up*

 *Thank god that's over with. Oh, Hailey is calling,,-*

"Hey, what's up?"

"You finally told that fucker the truth. He called me to ask what was wrong with you and why you were being so rude. I told him that you told him to fuck off and to never call either of us again. I'm proud of you Cassandra, I really am."

"Oh, well, at least I won't have to deal with him anymore. Thank you. I'm goung to go to bed, work tomorrow. I'll call you tomorrow after. Sleep well, love. Bye."

"You too, hon. Bye."
