Daisy chains - A Tom Hiddleston love story

Dusk 'till dawn. Chapter 10

Tom's pov:

I can't believe that we've been back in London for two weeks already, the time has just flown by. Carla is practising almost every day for her's and Jay's dance performance in a few weeks, and I have every faith in her that she will get first place.

I sighed and looked up from my phone out the window of the taxi, I was almost home from a rather boring meeting with one of my publicist, but at least it was over now. Five minutes later I paid the fare, thanked the driver and headed up the stairs to mine and Carla's apartment, every day that went by, I felt even more glad that she lived with me.

I reached the last step and made my way down the hallway until I reached the correct door, but a few seconds before unlocking it I heard music coming from inside, 'just me and you.' I was shocked by the angelic melody that reached my ears, I couldn't belive how well this singer performed the song.

I made out some of the words, 'light it up, on the run, let's make love, tonight, but you'll never be alone.'

I stopped for a moment and closed my eyes listening to the beautiful sounds, before quietly opening the door and entering, "Carla?" I called out.

There was no answer but only more singing, which was so amazing I could hardly belive my ears, 'I'll be with you from dusk till dawn, I'll be with you from dusk till dawn. Baby, I'm right here'.

I made my way into the study and then I saw it.

My darling Carla was standing by the open window, the sun on her face, lighting up her perfect features, she was wearing pink headphones and singing her heart out with her eyes shut. I was even more astounded, she could sing brilliantly, and all this time I never knew. I quickly stepped out of the room and hid by the doorway so I could listen to her.

'I'll hold you when things go wrong, I'll be with you from dusk till dawn, I'll be with you from dusk till dawn. Baby, I'm right here.'

My jaw dropped as she held an amazingly long run on the last word, I was completely in awe of my beautifully talented girlfriend. I stood and listened to her until the song finished before stepping into the room.

"That was astounding darling," I complimented her as she lifted her headphones off.

Upon hearing me speak, she whirled around and blushed, "were you there the whole time?" She asked.

I smiled, "most of it, darling why didn't you tell me you could sing so well?"

She dropped her gaze to the floor, "I didn't think I was that good," she replied quietly, "I was only recording so I could make a video edit."

"What about?" I asked.

She blushed, "Loki," she stated, "I thought the song fit rather well."

"Well, you chose wonderfully my dear," I answered in my Loki voice, making her giggle, before walking closer and wrapping her arms around her.

"Hi," she stated gently, "I missed you all day."

I pulled away just enough to see her face, "I missed you too, but I'm glad to be home now."

"Hmm," she sighed and rested her head on my shoulder.
Thoughts of her voice seeped into my mind a second time and I made up my mind about what I was going to do about it, "darling?" I asked pulling out of the hug.

"Yeah?" She asked, tilting her head to the side slightly, making her look so adorable.

"I'm going to speak to some people and see if I can get you a record deal with a company, your voice is simply too good to go unheard by the world," I stated, "that is, if you want."

She stared at me, "baby I'm not that good," she answered, "you might be a bit too biased, I'd never get far."

"I beg to differ," I stated, "you need to at least try, for me, please?"

She sighed and giggled, "if you want me to, but I don't think-."

"I don't want to hear you say that you aren't talented ever again," I cut in, "because you are, you are the most humble person I know Carla, but you deserve the world."

She blushed, "thank you," she said softly.

I stared into her gorgeous brown eyes for a few moments before pulling her gently towards me by her waist, "come here," I murmured before kissing her tenderly.

Once we broke the kiss she looked up at me with an expression almost like a child about to as for dessert before dinner, "Tom," she started, "can we go out tonight?"

"Of course darling," I replied, "what did you have in mind?"

"I thought we could get some ice cream and then go for a walk on the beach, since the weather is warming up," she explained, playing with the buttons on my shirt.

I watched her for a few seconds before answering, "of course we can," I stated, "but we have a few hours before it's night, how would you like to pas the time?"

She looked deep in thought for a few moments before a smile started to spread over her face, but she quickly stopped it and looked at the floor, "I'm not sure," she answered, in the tone that I could tell she was lying, as she continued to play with my buttons, before undoing the first one.

I shook my head, "oh yes you are," I stated, capturing her lips with mine before leading her to the bedroom.

This is how I imagine Carla's voice to sound similar too.
