I danced around to the music playing off my phone speaker, I just got out of the shower, a towel was wrapped around my body and a smaller towel wrapped around my wet hair. I grabbed the hair brush bringing it towards my mouth singing the lyrics out loud. I checked the time to make sure we wouldn’t get any noise complaints. My boyfriend, Tom and I had just moved into a new apartment complex, the neighbours don’t really know us yet so getting a noise complaint on our first week here would be quite embarrassing. I did my skin care routine calming myself down a bit, getting anxious that the neighbours were going to hate us already. I decided to do a facemask tonight, I bit my lip knowing Tom’s never seen me do a facemask before so his reaction was going to be great.
“Babe!” I called out while applying the cream all over my face.
I heard his footsteps come towards me he knocked on the bathroom door, I adjusted the towel making sure that the towel wouldn’t fall off my body. I looked at my reflection the grey cream all over my face. I opened the door. He checked me out considering how little amount of clothes was on my body right now. He then looked up at my face taking a step back for a moment.
“Darlin’ why is your face cream bubbling up?” He asked staring at me in confusion and a bit of shock.
His hands came close to touching my face but I let out a small scream to get him to stop, “Don’t!” I said while backing away from him.
“Are you getting an allergic reaction. Love, I’m not sure if it’s supposed to get puffy like that, you look like a cloud, well not you but your- ugh,” He pulled on his hair getting nervous that I’d be mad at him for comparing me to a cloud.
I let out a laugh, I knew he would react that way to seeing me using this face mask, “It’s supposed to make me look like a cloud, do you want some?” I asked him grabbing the container it comes in and nudging it towards him, he shook his head like crazy.
“Get that creepy stuff away from me, please,” He said backing up, “When do I get to kiss your super soft cheeks?” He asked, he came closer towards me once I put down the product on the counter. He grabbed my hands pulling me close towards him but not too close, he didn’t want to get any product on his clothes.
“10 minutes,” I told him sticking out my bottom lip in a pout.
“It’s getting more puffy love,” He said while getting his fingers closer towards my face.
“It’s normal,” I told him while shaking my head. I moved away from him taking the towel out of my hair brushing through it with a hairbrush.
Tom grabbed the hairbrush from me combing through my hair for me which made me blush, thankfully I had on the mask so he wasn’t able to see how he could still make me blush and smile so much.
“Your hair is so pretty,” He compliments, once he finished brushing my hair he wrapped his arms around me kissing my neck a few times, “I want to kiss your cheeks so bad,” He said in a small whiny voice. That once again made me blush.
“Fine, I’ll take it off now, just for you,” I rubbed in the facemask which made Tom watch me in pure confusion, it reminded me of when I was younger and I would watch my mom do her makeup, I feel like that is exactly how I would look at her.
“That’s crazy, I want to do it next time, but maybe a less scary face mask,” I let out a small laugh.
“Tommy, they’re all scary,” I said rinsing my face then drying it and looking at Tom as if nothing happened, “Do you mind getting me some clothes please?” I dragged out the please.
“I do mind, you can stay like this or just.. take the towel off,” He said half joking.
I playfully hit his shoulder, he just laughed walking away to go get me some clothes. He came back with one of his t-shirts since he knows I love wearing his clothes and my favourite pair of sweatpants.
“Thank you, I love you!” I said.
While I was getting changed I could hear Tom either talking to someone on the phone or making a video for one of his social medias explaining how crazy it is when girls do facemasks. I walked out of the bathroom glancing towards his phone, he was doing an Instagram video, I smiled at him and ran towards him tackling him down which made him fall down onto the bed.
“You’re crazy,” He said while kissing all over my face which made me scrunch up my face, Tom always said I looked super cute when I did that, “You’re face is so soft, I want a face that’s that soft.” He kept kissing all over my face which made me giggle, I wanted to push him away but I couldn’t lie I was enjoying all the attention and affection.
“We can start my skincare routine on you tomorrow,” I told him and he just shook his head barely paying any attention to what I was saying right now since he was so focused on my skin. I grabbed onto Tom’s phone taking a video of him so he could watch this later and laugh about how crazy we both are.
I guess I should do my skincare more often if he was going to give me this much affection every time I did it.
Special Guests: Benedict Cumberbatch & Chris Hemsworth
Note: This is a rather long chapter ...I couldn´t decide were to stop.
-Chapter 12-
The one with a treat and a tease
Tom disappeared of screen for a minute. You heard rustling and the light got dimmer. You started to get nervous. What did he have in mind? You wouldn´t put it past him to tease you and let Loki of his leash, as he had done sometimes while texting you. Getting restless you stood up. Walked to the couch with the tablet and tried to get a bit more comfortable.
Has it gotten even hotter inside your flat?
You were just discarding of your long-sleeved shirt as Tom climbed back on his bed. Your shirt was half way up, revealing the top you had underneath and a little bit of your stomach. But your face was covered for the moment. Tom laughed sexily low and teased.
“Oh darling, I see you are getting the hang of it now!”
Oh please, he couldn´t be serious. Glad your face was covered and he couldn´t see the expression of pure panic you made, you tried to calm yourself down and pulled the shirt of even slower.
“Be good, or I´ll kill the light!” you said as you looked at him with a somewhat stern look.
Tom laughed and ruffled his shorter hair.
“You know…I aim to please!” He retorted.
He was still bare-chested and only half covered. But the new addition was the notebook you had given him.
“Relax darling, I won´t do anything that would make you uncomfortable…tease you on the other hand, I would.” He winked at you and opened up the notebook.
“Please start to record now and get relaxed. Just listen…”
His voice, it was so deep and soothing and the real deep notes made you shiver.
You closed your eyes. “Yes, darling. Just like that” Tom soothed you even more before pausing a moment. You couldn´t see that he was watching you. With a smile on his striking face.
“Sonnet 116. by William Shakespeare“ he started calmly.
You couldn´t help but shiver. This was the Sonnet you had written in the book you´d given him.
It was one of your favourites.
“Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:”
Tom read the whole Sonnet and then looked at you.
He saw you had closed your eyes and had let the words and his voice carry you away.
He smiled and after a little pause read the second one…then the third.
And at last he added his favourite Sonnet. Somewhere in between you had opened your eyes and watched in awe as this handsome bare-chested man on the other side of the world read to you in bed. Tom closed the book and grinned a little self-conscious.
“You can turn of the recording darling. Now you have our favourite Sonnets to listen to…”
This was such a sweet gesture. You smiled and touched the screen in thank you.
“Thank you, Tom. Your voice does make Shakespeare even better.”
He laughed a little shy and tilted his head a notch. “Thank you. For being such a lovely friend. And thank you for looking after Dylan. You really didn´t have to do that.”
The both of you talked for some minutes more before Tom had to sign of and you went into your bedroom on tiptoes. Dylan was fast asleep. You got yourself ready in the bathroom and climbed into bed too. This day’s events had taken a toll on you too. You fell asleep in bare minutes.
The next morning Dylan was a bit homesick. You tried to help him get through the day and were glad that his Father called in the afternoon, telling Dylan that he´d be home later, bringing his mom home too. Sarah had her leg in plaster up to the hip, but was doing fine otherwise. They arrived to pick Dylan up in the evening. You had cooked a little meal for the 4 of you.
Sarah was in tears as she hugged you.
“Thank you (Y/N).”
“You don´t have to thank me, I´m just glad you are ok!”
You ate and talked. It was a very pleasant dinner.
Dylan somewhere in between declared: “I like sleepovers at (Y/N) she is my friend now, you know. Uncle Tom read us a bedtime story I think he is her friend too, but that’s ok we all can have more then one friend!” You all laughed and Sarah said, “That’s right Dylan, (Y/N) is our friend now too!” She clasped your hand and smiled at you.
As you walked them all out Sarah took a grinning look at the frame with Toms drawings but didn´t say anything. Dylan hugged you and waved his goodbyes out of the car. You cleaned up and got yourself a glass of wine when your cell vibrated.
>I so regret not recording your little striptease. How the shirt stuck over your head, blindfolding you…mhhmm this could give a man ideas…
Ah, so you were texting with Loki again. You laughed and typed back
<even Gods have to take a self-respecting woman out on some dates before that, but since you are in another realm…you are out of luck
>one day, my sweet little bird…one day
Loki was such a tease!
Another 2 weeks passed with you and Tom texting or occasionally facetiming each other. It always was easy-going with just a hint of teasing or flirting. But neither of you felt uncomfortable or uneasy. Quite the opposite, as time passed and you got to know each other better and you started to think that your friendship was here to stay. Not being in his physical presence made you almost believe the lie your mind was trying to enforce on your heart. But you couldn´t stop from smiling when a new text arrived, or when he´d be online and called you right after logging in.
At work everything was going smooth. And spring finally made it to London. You couldn´t wait to enjoy your 2 weeks off after finishing on Friday. Sarah and you had gotten to know each other a little better over a cup of tea here and then and your friendship with her was building slowly but steady. On Thursday as she was picking up Dylan, she had a little trouble with her new crutches but was so relieved to get rid of the wheelchair.
“(Y/N) would you like to come to dinner later? I do have a question I need to ask you.”
She told you as you were helping her.
“I´m off in an hour, but don´t trouble yourself making dinner I´m happy to just come over to talk!” She waved with her hand what nearly tilted her over. You caught her just in time.
“I swear I´ll break my other leg too if I can´t get a hang of this soon!” she fussed and hobbled to the door. “Then see you in a bit!” she said her goodbyes and was off with Dylan, who as his gentlemanly uncle would do was helping his mom and holding the door open for her.
You smiled at that sight and went on with your work.
On your way to Sarah´s home your phone battery died as you had forgotten to charge it last night. You weren´t too worried as you could plug it in later at home. Dylan opened the door for you motioning that he´d liked to be picked up by you.
“Hello (Y/N) can I show you my toys, I got a new one in the Livingroom.”
You picked him up and smiled at him.
“Of course, I will take a look.” But then Dylan made a face.
“But it´s not for girls…it´s a big truck, I think you proly…probable..por..probably don´t like it anyway.”
He wiggled to get down and ran further inside.
“We can´t just paint something later…I’ll go play with my truck on my own.”
You laughed and shook your head. “Hey Sarah!” You greeted her as you walked into the kitchen.
It smelled sooo good. “What are you cooking? And can I help?”
“No, already done. Come sit down next to me!” Sarah’s husband smirked as he filled 4 plates.
“You mean, what did I cook. Sarah is enjoying her leg a little too much, bossing me around in the kitchen.” Sarah laughed and looked at you. Can´t help it, watching him cook is sexy as hell!”
The 4 of you ate and it was really delicious. Soon Dylan took of again to play and Sarah and you went so sit in the garden for a while. “What I wanted to ask you…” She started. “…I know that it is interfering, but I…say yes please!”
You laughed quietly “I don´t even know the question yet!”
Sarah grinned. “Yes, but say yes anyway.” The look you gave her made her laugh loudly.
“Ok, now I know what Tom meant when he talked about your stern face.”
Tom and Sarah had talked about you? But before you could ask, Sarah preceded.
“I know my brother is about to ask, if you want to fly out to the wrap party. BUT, I want you to say no.” Ok, now you were totally confused.
“You wanted me to say yes, but now no?” You try to summarize.
“Yes!” Sarah grinned.
“Huh?” “(Y/N), I want you to say NO to Tom, but YES to me! Dylan and myself will fly out to see the last day of filming. Tom said Dylan can watch some child appropriate scenes and meat Thor and Captain America and who knows who on set. And frankly he would love that, but I would need help as my husband can´t come with us.”
You try to process it.
“So if Tom asks me to come to the wrap party I say I can´t and you are now asking me to come with you to…” Now it started to makes sense.
“You want to play the god of mischief!” You laughed a big laugh.
Sarah nodded and laughed “Try to think about his face when he sees you are there anyway. I know it´s bit unfair to you, but the pranks he played on me over the years really allow me to do something like that, belief me! …and he told me you´ve gotten good friends over the last month, so please, help me out to surprise him.”
The plan was made and the two of you confirmed the flight then and there.
As you got home and plugged in your phone you see 3 texts from Tom, asking if you where home and if he could call you. Knowing probably why he wanted to talk to you, thanks to Sarah, you logged in on your tablet and tried to keep a pokerface. It didn´t take long for Tom to call.
His handsome smile made your heart hold out its middle finger in salute to your mind. Take that suspicious thing! Your heartrate increased as he said “Hello Darling!” You smiled back at him and just waved a small wave in hello. Your voice probably would betray you anyways.
As you composed your self you asked “What´s so urgent? Something happened you need to tell me? Met a stunning warrior heroine you are off to great purpose with?”
He looked baffled for a moment but then laughed.
“No, I missed talking to you the last 3 days, so I thought I could give you a call….and….ask you a question?!”
You leaned back on the couch and smiled “Ask away, and I missed talking to you too!”
That had the effect that Tom smiled so unbelievably handsome that you missed 2 breaths.
“All right Darling. Here it comes. I want you to fly out and accompany me to the wrap party. Everybody brings friends and family and I can´t think of anyone I’d rather have here with me then you. I know you have 2 weeks of…So.. please say yes!”
His statement and his boyish hopeful look made you almost break your promise to Sarah. Almost. “That is so sweet of you Tom, but my vacation got cancelled.” You could almost feel his joy fading away. “Oh..” he answered and it made your heart sink a bit. You didn´t like to lie to him at all, but you hoped he would forgive you when he saw you. You talked a bit more and tried to lighten the mood. He fussed for a bit but talked about how he enjoyed filming with his friends again.
You said your goodbyes as Tom had to leave for set “…and I think there will always be another wrap party.. the next time I ask you, you are NOT allowed to say no darling!”
You laughed and promised him a yes. Hopefully Sarah was right, and he would be happy to see you.
Your first 2 free days were packed with shopping and getting ready to leave for Australia.
You were nervous and the prospect of seeing Tom in person again made you twitchy. But Dylan and Sarah made the long journey pleasant and short-lived. After arriving at the hotel, you unpacked and had a little nap and then some. The next day Sarah and Dylan were taken to the set. Dylan was all in and pledged to hold his mouth shut over you being there and surprisingly enough he stayed true to his word. Probably to excited to meet real superheros.
As the evening came it was time for you to get ready. Sarah had arranged a sleep over for Dylan with Chris Hemsworth kids and they were having a party on their own. You were just done with your hair and makeup as a knock sounded on your door. “Ready?” Sarah asked as you opened it. She looked so beautiful in a glittery top and long flowy skirt hiding the cast.
“I don´t know, you sure I should wear this? “ You asked a little jittery.
This black neckholder jumpsuit was fitting your curves, but the back was cut out and waterfalled it´s way down your sides to were the trousers started. It was modest enough in the front, but sexy in the back. “Are you kidding me, you look awesome” Sarah said as you turned for her like she wanted you to. “Come pretty lady, we are going to pull a leg on Loki!”
That made you laugh and close the hotelroom door with a last sigh in hope that the evening would be a pleasant one. So many stars under one roof. You didn´t know how you would fit in.
The party was in the hotel garden. The pool area and a big ballroom had been decorated in the most stylish way you´d ever seen. A red carpet let to the entrance after you passed security and a check that you were allowed to move forward. The sun was just about to set and you couldn´t imagine how good this would look when it got dark. Even in twilight it was rendering you speechless.
Music was getting louder as you helped Sarah along with her crutches and stopped for her to catch her breath. 2 loud voices came nearer from behind you.
“Sarah!! Oh Dear, Ben, come on let’s help her out!”
You were stunned into silence as suddenly Benedict Cumberbatch and Chris Hemsworth stood in front of you.
“Hi, I´m Chris, this is Ben!” They greeted you and hugged Sarah.
“Hey boys, this is (Y/N)”
“(Y/N)?” Ben asked.
“The (Y/N)? Tom told me she couldn´t come cause her vacation got cancelled.”
Sarah laughed mischievous.
“Yeah, I can´t wait to see the look on his face!”
Both men laughed boomingly and grinned at you.
“Let us help you to make an entrance!” They looked at each other and nodded then took a crutch each out of Sarah’s hand and hoisted her up to carry her in. Sarah laughed giddily.
“Stay close behind us, he won´t see you that way” You could only nod, hoping that your speech would return somewhen along the evening.
Ben and Chris carried Sarah as if she weights nothing. Laughing to each other and stopping just inside the venue where the reception was held before the party got off for real.
“Hey Hiddleston! We´ve got you a wrap present!” Chris boomed.
“And one to unwrap behind us.” Ben added silently making Sarah almost laugh tears.
Tom turned around and laughed “Ehehehe!” Sarah was standing on her own feet again and hobbled over. Tom meeting her half way. They hugged and said their hellos. You were still behind those 2 men who were having more fun then a child on Christmas. Tom started to help Sarah get over to a chair when Chris cleared his throat.
“What are you doing Tom? I said we got you a present!”
Tom stopped, a bit bewildered he turned again
“Oh...where are my manners. Thank you for helping my sister…”
As he spoke Ben and Chris both took a step to the side to reveal you standing behind them.
