All I want (Tom Hiddleston FanFiction Story)

No Matter What...Smile

Walking back in the cafe felt strange for Ella. The last time she was here, her head was all over the place. Though she still felt an emptyness course through her, she was more calmer than what she was a few hours ago.

She followed Tom and Ben as they made their way to the back of the cafe, towards a booth. Ella never noticed that yesterday. Mind you, she barely noticed anything yesterday. Ben ushered her first, smiling down at her as she plonked herself down by the window.

Tom sat opposite her while Ben waved at the old woman Betty that Tom had informed Ella about the previous day.

"I'll be back in a moment," informed Ben "I just want to speak to Betty."

Ella smiled and acknowledged him with a nod, watching him, as he walked towards Betty, before glancing at the window, wondering how to contact Molly's friends. She had never taken to Gwen but, she knew Molly and Gwen were best friends since primary school.

She wanted to know everything that happened on the night of Molly's death, even though it would be painful to listen to, she had to know either way

Though Ella had always been close to her sister, even she had secrets that she never revealed to anyone. Molly too was bound to have secrets too, but what if one of these secrets was what started this murder incident in the first place. Something did not feel right, that was for sure. Gwen would know, at least Ella hoped that was the case. If what the papers were saying was true, the murderer had to be caught, before he/she struck again and that worried her.

Thinking about Molly's friend, Ella had always found Gwen to in your face, who took great delight in winding people up the wrong way. She normally tried to stay away from her, knowing she would retaliate with her own catty remark.

"Ella are you alright?"

Ella snapped out of her thoughts and returned her attention back on Tom. He had a concerned look on his face, before he frowned, shaking his head.

"Sorry, you must be getting sick and tired of hearing that by now."

"It's not so bad," replied Ella "but ask me again in a few weeks time, you probably have a different answer!"

Tom couldn't help but smile at her. He was completely stunned when he saw her walking towards Ben and himself a little while ago. When she left with Jude last night, Tom's thoughts always strayed back to Ella and wondered how she was. Seeing her again so soon, was a comfort to him, though he had no idea why that was.

"How do you and Ben know one another?" asked Tom, changing the subject, which Ella was thankful for.

She glanced over to where Ben was and smiled. He had his arm around the lady Betty, laughing at whatever was said betweem them.

"I've known Ben ever since he stole my 'Winnie The Pooh' book." replied Ella, returning her attention on Tom.

"Winne The Pooh?" smiled Tom.

A small smile came across her own face.
