Forever| Tom Hiddleston (Republishing)

Walking into him

  ■■■  

At the third floor I turned left, then right and kept walking until I reached my door.

The apartment next door has been empty since I moved in.
I opened the door to my apartment with my keycard, got dinner ready and fed Han, we sat on the couch and turned on the tv. My dog curls up next to me as I start flipping through channels, I quickly came across a movie I liked.

I found myself falling asleep on the couch, the remote slipped from my hand and landed on the floor with a thud that jolted me awake. i groaned, rubbed my face, and got to my feet. I switched the tv off and got ready for bed.

I woke up early and got dressed for my morning run, I put on my leggings, running jacket and got a harness on Han.

I closed the door and slipped they key card in my pocket, we headed down the stairs and into the lobby; to my surprise, there is still a crowd of girls.
They look up excitedly as I approached but quickly lost interest when they see it's me. I shrug it off and push the glass door open. It was a cool crisp morning, I've always loved the cold.

I complete my twelve miles and head back, I push through the glass door, trying to avoid the crowd, which has now moved to the elevators waiting for someone to come down.
I took the stairs up once more, I turn left on my floor when my phone beeped with a text. I shove my hand in my pocket and take out my phone and key.

I slide my phone unlocked and read the text from my costar, Drew. 

I keep my eyes on my phone's screen as I go to turn right. I walked right smack into the wall, making me fall right on my butt.

"Dammnit." I hiss as I rub my face. I looked up in surprise when I heard the wall exclaim as well. 

I hadn't walked into a wall, I had walked straight into someone.

I saw the other person on the floor as well, papers scattered all around us. 

"Woah," The man chuckled, "Down boy." Han starts licking the man's face. 

"Han, stop!" I got to my knees, embarrassed, "I am so, so sorry" I pulled Han from the man.

The man laughs, stands up and says 

"It's alright, it's my fault, I wasn't paying attention." The man chuckled as he got to his feet, and offered a hand to help me up.

"You're Tom Hiddleston." I said in shock as I took his hand.

"Indeed I am." He laughed.

"I am so sorry!" I apologized. 

"Don't worry," He assures me, "I should be apologizing to you, are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm okay." I answered as I helped him pick up the papers.I hand him the stack I had collected and he handed me my phone and key.

"I don't believe I caught your name." He smiled. 

"Oh sorry, I'm y/n. And this is Han." I smiled as I shook his hand. 

"Han?" He asked raising an eyebrow. 

"As in Solo... " I said as he chuckled, petting my dog.

"Do you live in the building?" he asked me. 

"Yeah I do." I held up my  key, "They don't just give these away you know.". He laughs and says 

"Well, I'll see you around, y/n." He chuckled before he turned to leave.

"They don't just give these away?" I said to myself as I unlocked my door," Ugh how stupid!"

I walked to bathroom to take a shower, I look in the mirror and see a mess staring back at me, 'no wonder he was laughing so much, I'm a mess'
