Are you following me Mr Hiddleston? (A Tom Hiddleston Fanfiction)

Chapter 16

Margot sat up abruptly and the blanket they shared fell to the floor around her ankles, when she put her feet down. She even removed Tom's arm from her waist and sat there like a Meerkat, waiting for something to happen, for someone to say something. As for Tom he sat up straighter while awkwardly scratching the back of his neck, trying to avoid looking into Elouise's eyes when she came around the sofa, standing in front of them.

"Holy shit!" Elouise gasped while pointing at Tom, now that she could see Margot's guest properly.

"What?" Mary asked before being stunned herself by Tom's appearance, once she too made her way around the sofa.

Tom glanced over at Margot who was still staring at Elouise and Mary, while remaining in her Meerkat like pose. He raised his right brow as he was captured in thought, trying to figure out if Margot was alright and if she was going to introduce him, or not. After thirty more seconds had past without anyone saying anything Tom thought it was up to him.

"Hello." Tom said cheerfully as he stood up. He was feeling very stiff from being in the same position for so long, but he pushed that feeling aside. "I'm Tom Hiddleston," he added as he extended out his hand towards the girls in front of him.

"Hi!" Elouise excitedly shook Tom's hand first while smiling like a Cheshire Cat. "I'm Elouise Mathews," she introduced herself without her smile wavering.

"H-Hi." Mary shyly shook Tom's hand next and held it a tad longer than she meant to. "S-Sorry." She stuttered in a whisper like voice as she let go of his hand.

"Ehehe, not to worry lovely. Mary right?" Tom said while he smiled at her.

"Y-yeah...Mary Carlyle." Mary blushed a little from being called lovely by the hot celebrity stood before her. "How did you know?" She added.

"I saw the photo montage upstairs and Margot pointed you both out. So given you're the only two other ladies here and you're the last one, it wasn't difficult to work out." Tom winked.

"What photo montage?" Elouise asked but no one answered her question. "Ssssooo..." she continued, "what brings you here, Thomas? Can I call you Thomas?" Elouise's Cheshire Cat like smile changed to a more of a suggestive smirk.

"Sure, you can call my Thomas." Tom replied warmly, then his tongue darted out and wetted his lips, as he folded his arms across his chest. "To answer your other question...I offered Margot a lift, instead of her having to carry all her shopping back last night."

"Mmhumm...I can see that." Elouise said smugly as she looked over Tom's shoulder at Margot, who seemed to have slumped down in her posture, she was also now covering her face from embarrassment.

"Margot then invited me to stick around for Christmas dinner...and evidently we fell asleep after watching some movies." Tom finished up then pressed his lips into a thin line with a slight raise in his right brow again.

"Humm...looks like you two slept well, I might add." Elouise teased and received an elbow jab from Mary into her ribs.

"Alright, enough now!" Margot said after removing her hands from her face and standing up next to Tom. "I'm sure Tom enjoyed meeting you, but he has to go now." Margot added staring at Tom, who quickly understood why.

"Yes, I have to get going. Bobby and I have to do a few things before we go to my Mum's." He says as he redirects his attention to the other two.

"Like what?" Elouise asked shifting her gaze between Tom and Margot, to see if she can read anything else from their faces. However, she was coming up with nothing else, other than the embarrassment of being caught sleeping on the sofa together.
