Soulmates: Tomdaya One Shots

Oscars

Tom was running back and forth in the hotel room in Beverly Hills. It was the day of the Oscars and he was going to present an award. He was extremely nervous and stressed out. There were about 1000 different ways of how he could mess it up.

„Stop walking around an just sit down" Z said who was sitting in a chair in front of a mirror getting her hair and make-up done by her stylists, „you are making me go crazy".

„Well I am already going crazy" Tom said stressed „so there you go". He sat down on the big king sized bed in the middle of the room.

Z looked around the room where about ten people, stylists, make-up artists and assistants, were running around doing their job. She raised her voice a bit and said: „Everybody, can we just have a moment please!" Without a comment they all stopped what they were doing and went into the hotel room next door, because technically Tom and Z had two hotel rooms available because they were both guests at the Oscars but they obviously shared a room.

As soon as they were alone she got up and sat down next to Tom on the bed. She put a hand on his chin and turned his face towards her so he had to look into her eyes. She gently kissed him on the cheek and said: „You are gonna do a great, my love. And remember whenever you feel like everything is getting too much, I am always here for you, I m always in your corner....I love you."

He smiled a little „I love you too"

„And if that doesn't help, just imagine the whole audience in underwear...because that always works." They both laugh to relax the atmosphere a little bit and then Tom leans in to kiss her. He tries to deepen the kiss and push her back on the the bed but she slowly pulls back.

She smiles apologetically „Sorry, they already started doing my hair and everything, I don't wanna mess it up"

He sighs and puts his head down on her shoulder in the little mole between her neck and her collarbone. She strokes his hair.
Then they hear a knock on the door from the room next door. Darnell puts his head through the doorframe, Tom and Z look up.
„Sorry guys, but we have to get on with getting you both ready so that we can stay on schedule."

So they both sat down next to each other in front of the big mirror and while Toms hairstylist was working on him and Z was getting her make-up done, Jennifer their shared publicist sat behind them giving instructions for the evening.

„And the most important thing" she said „ is that you guys are just friends tonight. I don't wanna have any touching, looking at each other or even worse. You won't be walking the carpet together but you will be sitting next to each other during the ceremony and attending the Vanity Party together but as FRIENDS. Because let me remind you, it was the two of you who made it clear from the very beginning that this relationship is supposed to stay private. Now I know you guys usually do a great job at keeping your „thing" out of the public eye but this is your first award show together in a while and there is gonna be cameras EVERYWHERE. I don't want any heart eyes like at the MTV awards. So keep your hands off of each other for the whole night, I mean it!"

„Got it" Tom says and Z just nods her head. They look at each other. This was going to be a long night.

The Oscars went great. Tom didn't mess anything up while he was presenting neither did Z when she introduced the music act. They also managed to keep their hands off of each other but it wasn't the easiest thing for both of them. Afterwards they attended the Vanity Fair party where they both slayed with their looks.

At the Vanity Fair party you always have to talk to ten thousand different important people and everywhere are photographers taking pictures. So Tom and Z stayed as long as required and then quickly left to go to a more „humbled" night club.
