Dusty (Tom Hiddleston /Reader)

NYC Here We Come

It was around 3:30 am when I arrived at Tom's house. Pulling my luggage out of my car I rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

Tom came out of the front door two coffees in his hands and a message bag over his shoulder. All exhaustion leaving his face when he spotted me at the bottom of the steps.

"Morning Darling." He greets.

"Good morning, how are you so perky? " I say in a groggy voice.

"Coffee?" Tom hands me the tall hot cup.

I sip it and instantly feel more awake. He always made the best coffee.

"Ready for an adventure?" He asks.

Eyeing him over my cup."Totally." I smile.

We both get in a taxi and head to the airport.

A long plane ride later.

I open my eyes and realize I had fallen asleep. My head is resting on Tom's shoulder and he starts to lightly play with my hair.

"(y/n) we are here." He whispers.

I sit up, looking puzzled. I was unsure how long I was snuggling my celebrity boss.

I cheek heat up as he looks at me and giggles.

"You were only asleep for an hour, and on my shoulder for about... An hour." Those adorable lines appear by his eyes as he laughs.

"Im so sorry."

Tom shakes his head "no need to apologize."

I try to hide my humiliation and go to the bathroom to fix my hair.

( 1 hour earlier Tom's POV)

We are sitting watching an inflight movie in first-class the coffee is starting to wear off, as i look to my right and see (Y/N's) eyes starting to close. She shifts in her seat trying to get comfortable. She presses her head on the window.

That's not comfortable.

Carefully I put my arm around her guiding her to lean on me instead of the cold window.

She snuggled into my shoulder.

Man, she is stunning, and she has such a heart. Im blessed to have her as a friend... I wish we could be more.

I smile to myself as she lets out a relaxed sigh.

(Your POV)

I get out of the bathroom after freshening up, and we exit the plane.

Walking out into New York I feel like I just walked into one of my favorite movies. The cool fall breeze was just perfect.

I looked over to see Tom with the bags and also Bobby walking at his side.

"Welcome to New York City." He says.

We walk to find the driver that was picking us up. As we shuffle our way through the crowds Tom holds my hand. Im praying I will not lose him in this chaos.

Finally, we find a man holding a sign that just says "Tom" in magic marker.

I glance at his hand in mine, we were away from all the crowd but he was holding on to me.

The man takes our bags and leads us to a taxi.

When we sit down the driver turns to us "Where to?" He asks.

"The Plaza, please."

I look at Tom my eyes growing wide "We are staying at the Plaza?"

This was my childhood dream. I mean, I grew up watching movies about the Plaza Hotel:
Eloise
It Could Happen To You
Bride Wars

This was going to be like living on a movie set.

I try to contain my excitement, but I can't help but fangirl when we pull up to the building.

"This is insane!" I say.

I see Tom looking as I stand in awe. He just smiles and puts his hand on my back guiding me to walk inside.

We check-in and are taken to our rooms, which are right next to each other.

Tom helps me get my suitcases in my room.

"I'll be right next door if you need anything." He says "Oh, and would you join me for dinner? "

I smile brightly as I start to unpack. "Of course."

"Great. See you in an hour?" Tom lays another one of my bags on the bed.

"Ok. Where are we going?"

"One if by Land, Two if by Sea." He answers.

I have never been to New York so I have never heard of this place.

"One question and I hope it doesn't sound stupid. But is it fancy?" I am mentally kicking myself when he lets out a laugh.

"Yea, it's fancy. Is that ok?"

"Yep, I just wanted to know what to wear. Would this work?"
I pull out my floor-length black dress, it was something I was hoping I could wear on this trip but had no idea if he would ask me to something that required such a dress.

Tom's eyes sparkle as I lift the gown so he could see how it fits. "Perfect." He says.
