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

Meeting His Family

Its been 6 months since I found out about my grandfather I still haven't been home but papaw said for me to not make any special trips home to see him. So I haven't but it still bugs me that I havent been home in 18 months. I do miss it so and I think Tom has started to notice. I try not to let my home sickness get in the way of our dates but there are times that I can't help it. Tom is a very loving compassionate person he understands. So its been over 6 months so let me fill you in on more recent matters

Tom bought a house and now stays there I go home with him after filming quit a bit and we go hang out there. Tom has been dropping hints that he wants me to move in with him. How do I know you ask? Well he will say things like "What this place needs is a woman's touch" or "I can't decide where things should go. But I know you know so could you help me?' and one of my personal favorites 'Darling what do you like in a quality home?' I love that last one cause it is the sneakiest.

Then the other day he came out and said "Darling I want you to move in with me. I dont like the idea of you staying in that trailer by yourself. All alone and so far away from me. I cant protect you when your there and i'm not." He knows as well as I that I don't need protecting but I love the fact that he wants to protect me. That shows me that who ever the lucky woman who is to marry him (although I hope its me) is going to be protected and feel safe like I do when im around him.

Incase your wondering I did not move in with him. You might think im crazy but I have my reasons. I have been keeping in touch with my family via phone email, and Skype. Papaw says he is doing fine but I see right through that I know he is in pain but he wont admit to it. My papaw is just so strong.

I hear a soft but familiar knock on my door. "Come in Tom" He comes in and I look up and smile. He smiles and comes and sits next to me.

"Darling? You know I want to meet your family right?" He begins.

"Yes?"

"Well we have never really discussed it but....Would you like to meet mine?" I smile.

"Of cource sweety and I was kinda hoping I could meet them soon."

"Thats good because they are flying in for the next week and they are staying with me. And my mother is dying to meet you as well as my sisters." I smile.

"Great! When will they be in?"

"Sometime tomorrow." He says.

"Good I will come by tomorrow and help you clean and cook dinner." He smiles.

"Your the greatest you know that? How did I get so lucky?" I smile and blush and he grabs my hand and gently kisses it.

"Ok so when does their flight get in?"

"In about two hours." I crinkle my nose and bite the inside of my lower lip like I do when i'm thinking.

"Ok and how long does it take for us to get to the airport from here?"

"30 minutes more or less."

"Hmmm." I crinckle my nose again.

"We're gonna need help." I goto my bag and phone a friend. 'Please pick up please pick up.'

"Hello?" She answers.

"Hey Lindsey its Ally." I say.

"Hey girl whats up?" Lindsey asks.

"Not much. Hey listen are you and Jeff gonna be doing anything for the next hour and twenty minutes to an hour and thirty minutes?" I ask.

"Nope. We are at your disposal what do you need?" She says.
