Forever| Tom Hiddleston (Republishing)

Casseroles

I got to his apartment and knocked on the door and waited.
No answer.

I hit the door with the palm of my hand "Tom, it's me open the door".
Seconds later the door opened, he didn't say anything, he just hugged me. "Are you okay?" I asked as I rubbed my hand on his back, "No," he said, moments later he let go of me and looked at my face, I could see the sadness in his blue eyes. I walked in and he closed the door behind me,

"Holy casserole" I said as I saw the kitchen in front of me filled with casseroles. I heard him chuckle softly behind me, "I needed to keep busy." he said. "So you decided to open a restaurant in your apartment?" I asked hoping to make him laugh, he just let out a sad chuckle.
I turned to face him " Do you want to talk about it?" I asked him. "There's not really anything to talk about. We hardly ever saw each other, it wasn't working, and she found someone else." he said.
"It'll be okay" I said as I went to hug him again, I'm not tall enough to rest my chin on his shoulder so I just buried my face in his chest, I feel his chin on my head.
"You smell delicious" I say muffled by his shirt.

I feel him shaking as he laughs "Well I have been cooking all day" he says, I let go and open a drawer closest to me and take out a fork, "These look so good" look at him and he's still smiling, "Help yourself to as much as you want".
"Oh I will" I say as I jump up to sit on the counter, pick up a tray and try it.
"Do you want me to go kick her ass? I'm pissed, I'll go kick her ass." I say to him with my mouth full.
"Oh no, that wont be necessary" he chuckles.
I swallow my food, "Are you sure?" I ask.
"Trust me, I'm sure" he says.

I try hard to keep a serious face,

"Trust my rage" I say and he actually laughs.
"See.. There's that smile I know and love" I say teasingly, he leans on the counter next to me and looks at the wooden floor.
"She didn't deserve you Tom, you're such a great guy. Seriously, you are amazing, and she couldn't see that, she just wasn't the right one." he kept his eyes on the floor and didn't say a word, I can't stand to see him like this. I set the tray beside me and put my arm over his shoulder furthest from me and rested my chin on his other shoulder, "Please don't be sad" I say.

I poke both of his cheeks with my index fingers, "Come oooonnnn, Smile" he laughs and turns to face me, his face inches close to mine, I get nervous and drop my arms back to my side.
"Alright, how about a movie?" he says, "Sure" I say. He ducks his head and hugs my stomach, picking me up off the counter and throwing me over his shoulder.

"No! Tom!" I yell laughing as he starts walking to the couch,

"At least let me get my casserole!" I say. He laughs and walks back to the kitchen, he turns so I can grab it from the counter while I'm still over his shoulder.
I reach over and grab it,
"Alright, carry on" I say.
He laughs and continues walking back to the living room "If this tray gets dumped on your head, it's not my fault" I tell him, "Understood" he chuckles. He stops and leans forward to put me down, I sit on the couch and eat while Tom takes out his collection of dvds.

I sit on the couch with my back leaning on the arm rest and my legs taking up the rest of the couch.
I don't pay attention to what Tom is doing, I'm far too distracted by this glorious plate of food.
I take a big spoonful and shove it all in my mouth; I get the feeling I'm being watched. I look up and see him standing infront of the tv staring at me with a huge smile on his face. "Whaa?" I mumble through the food, which makes him laugh.

"Oh nothing, I didn't say a thing" he says fighting a smile, he picks up the remote and turns on the tv, "Shut up, Tom." I say to him as he walks over to me, he picks up my legs, sits down and leaves my legs on his lap. The movie starts playing, I eat untill I've had my fill then put the tray on the coffee table.
I'm paying attention to the movie when Tom drops his hand on my thigh just above my knee which makes me jump and him laugh. I can't even say how nervous it makes me when he touches me sometimes, I smile and move my legs so I'm sitting normally on the couch. "Are you excited to get started on this movie?" he asks, "Of course I am, I never in a million years thought I would get a shot like this" I say.

Just then my phone started ringing (my ringtone is I Love It by Icona Pop, I've heard it a million times but I dont care I love it lol) I sing along to it as I pull it from my pocket.

'Thor. Crap, I forgot to text him'

"Hello?" I answer as I get up from the couch, "Hey what happened?" Chris asks, "Don't worry about it," I said not trying to sound as if I'm talking about Tom.
"The place is full of casseroles isn't it?" Chris asks, I look at Tom who's staring at me.
"Yup." I say. Chris laughs and says "That's Tom for you, alright, I'll catch you later".
"Kay kay, bye" I say and hang up, I look at my phone and realize how late it is, I bite my lip before I speak, "It's late, I should probably get going". I look up at Tom his expression looks slightly dissapointed, he gets up and walks me to the door.

I turn to look at him before I open the door, "Call me if you need anything." I said. "I will" he says as he pulls me in for a hug, he leans down and I feel his breath on my cheek which send shivers down my spine, "I'm so lucky to have you..." he lets go slightly but keeps his arms around me, he looks into my eyes and glances down at my lips, but quickly looks back up to my eyes, he frowns slightly, and drops his hands to his sides and looks at the floor. "Umm... I-I'll see you tomorrow?" I ask not knowing what to do. "Yeah" he smiles returning to his old slef. "Text me when you get home safely" he says, "I will" I say as I open the door and close it softly behind me.
