From the Day We Met (A Tom Hiddleston fan fic)

Getting to Know You

Tom takes me to a wonderful restaurant on the way to there I sit quietly and I have butterflies in my stomach. I'm very nervous because this is like a date even though we are "just friends" its still like a date which is a bit nerve racking because i've never been on a date. If the truth be told I would like to date Tom he's sweet, kind, and so considerate. I'm sitting quietly when he says. "Ally, are you alright?"

"Huh?"

"Are you alright? Your very quiet, you seem nervous."

"Yeah i'm ok....its just...."

"Just what dear?"

"Well I know you said we are just friends but it seems to me like this is a bit more....like a date maybe?"

He smirks. "Well not much gets past you does it?" He chuckles. "I would have liked to call it that but I don't think that if I had asked you on a date you would have said 'yes' so I kinda want to view it as a 'get to know you' dinner." I start to chuckle.

"That's cute, Tom."

He smiles. "Yea so are you still nervous?"

"No...after all its only a 'get to know you dinner.'" We start laughing and after about 15 minutes we get to the restaurant and he gets out and before I can open the door he comes and opens it for me and offers me his hand. Where I come from men don't do this unless its your brother or father and even this was rare.

He helps me out of the car and offers me his arm like a true gentleman and I take it. We walk into the restaurant and are seated. Now this is a very beautiful restaurant it has soft music playing, a marvelous garden, the dinning area is gorgeous and on the wall they have several paintings from different countries and times.

"This is beautiful Tom"

"Yes it is." The place is absolutely breath taking.

"'Just getting to know you' dinner?" I say raising my eyebrow.

He chuckles. "Yes I like this place. I bring all my new friends here."

"Ah." He smiles then the waiter comes and asks us for our order. I have no idea so Tom orders for the both of us which is fine by me. The waiter leaves, leaving me and Tom by ourselves. We sit in quite for a bit when Tom starts the conversation.

"So is this your first movie?"

"Yes, yes it is . I've done some commercials before but never a movie."

"Oh....you nervous?"

"Definitely." He laughs.

"Well there's no reason to be you'll be great."

"How do you know?"

"Call it actors intuition.....that and i've seen your commercials. Your really good." I giggle and he continues. "I actually recommend you for the part."

"Really? Why?"

"Because you seem to have a lot of raw talent and I think you could go places." I smile and we continue talking, laughing and cutting up. I think to myself 'I'm really glad I came.' After dinner he took me to a park and we took a walk laughing and getting to know each other the entire time and at some point in the walk I grabbed his hand. He looked down and smiled and grabbed mine back and we walked for the rest of the time hand in hand.
