Unscripted Love • A Tom Hardy fanfic

Chapter 13

Fiona's mom sent her a text at about 5pm to see if she was back to the dorm. Her nephew Nolan wanted to webcam and say hi. Fiona was his favorite person and he preferred her to his mom whenever she was around. She hadn't seen him face to face over webcam in a few weeks and she definitely missed him.

"Hey would you mind if I used your laptop in a little bit? To webcam my nephew?" She asked Tom as he sat down on the couch with a glass of unsweetened iced tea. He had so many options now that Fiona took him shopping.

"Not at all, love," he reached under the glass coffee table and pulled it out. Fiona kissed his cheek and sat at the end of the coffee table on the floor. He opened it and pressed the on button before passing it over to her. She sat staring at the windows loading screen before it opened up to the user screen. She clicked his icon and another window popped up waiting for a password.

"Your password," she turned it back to him for him to enter it.

"Oh, it's londonfalling77, all lowercase," he replied without hesitation. She entered it and the screen opened up to an artistic black and white photo of London's skyline. Several icons loaded on the screen, she waited until it seemed to be finished. "I have Skype already, if that's what you use. It should be on the start menu."

She double clicked the S icon and it automatically logged him into his account. She waited for it to load so she could log out and into hers. Several messages popped up one by one, dating back to late August.

"You have some messages," she turned the computer to him again. She had seen a few of them but didn't know who they were from.

He leaned forward, and read them as he closed them out. A few from one screen name with messages from August 15th, August 30th, September 3rd, and September 4th, the final one she caught was in all caps, "GROW UP TOM!"

"I was going to sign into my account, but it just automatically signed you in," she said hesitant, feeling awkward for seeing his messages.

"It's ok," he laughed and turned the computer back to her, "They're from no one important."

He left himself signed in and she clicked down the menu to log off. She switched to her account and signed in. She had tried 2 passwords before she got one to work. When she logged in there was a messaging from her sister waiting for her.

"Just call us when you're on, we're here," the message said.

"This might be embarrassing..." she warned him she clicked 'call'. The screen rang loudly and she adjusted the volume quickly. Her mom answered, with her thick New York accent. Fiona didn't notice it that much but it was very noticeable to Tom. They spent about 3 minutes confirming they could hear and see each other fine. Her mom tried with a light off and a light on, it made no difference in the screen but her mom opted to turn it back off. She looked up over the screen to see Tom laughing at the transaction.

"Where's my baby?" Fiona asked. She could see the back of Nolan's head, his blond hair had been cut short; he was playing with his wooden toy trains.

"Nolan, come say hi to Zia," her mom yelled. Fiona looked over the screen and flashed eyes at Tom. She knew he had questions about her name, Zia. She shook her head slightly and looked back at the screen. Her nephew had walked over and was showing her his new green train. He was wearing a long sleeve Mickey Mouse shirt with Elmo undies. Nolan showed his Zia all of his toys, new and old alike. She saw only a few as he held them out of view but she pretended she could see them, he didn't know the difference.

"Fiona, did you see Twilight was on last night?" Her mother asked.

"Oh no, but I do have the DVD. I can watch it without commercials" she said with a laugh.
