Summary : A complicated story in which Y/N and Tom already know each other from work.
Y/N : Your Name
Y/L/N : Your Last Name
LIE TO ME MASTERLIST
Y/N's heart had stopped beating.
All she could hear was Tom's manager repetitively calling her name as she walked to the backstage.
For a moment, Y/N had to sit down.
This wasn't good. What was going to happen now ? Was she... fired ?
Her stomach became a ball of knots as she fidgeted with her fingers. Until she felt a strong hand gripping her shoulder.
"Y/N."
Oh god.
Swallowing the lump in her throat, Y/N looked up at Tom's publicist,
"Luke, I-I don't know wha-why it happened, it was completely..."
"Brilliant !" he exclaimed, finishing your sentence.
Behind him stood Tom, arms crossed against his chest. He didn't seem very proud and Y/N suddenly wondered why. After all, he’d gotten his revenge.
"What are you talking about ?" she asked, absentmindedly glaring at Tom.
"First of all, you’re definitely an artist on the rise, and... Well, a highly public relationship would only help bring more attention to all your amazing on-going projects, right Y/N ?"
Ah. Sweet Hell, no.
"Second," Luke continued, "Tom's career always get a bit of a boost when he's in a relationship. But if he was with someone like you, someone who is not a celebrity... It would be the Notting hill story of the year, do you understand ?"
Y/N did her best to remain calm,
"What are you suggesting ?" she scoffed, and after a moment, she finally spluttered, "Seriously ? You want us to... pretend we're together ? Luke, you know me, it’s so... not me."
Luke slowly nodded, causing her to make a face,
"Well, no." she promptly said.
"Everybody would love it ! Come on Y/N. At least, think about it. For one minute straight, just... think about it."
Y/N's wide eyes crossed Tom's exasperated gaze. Of course, Tom didn't want that to happen. It was clear on his face, Y/N knew him too well. But if she was being honest, the simple fact that Tom had lost control over the situation was very satisfying. Playing with her career and her dreams like they were kids was completely immature. So didn’t he deserve it, after all ?
"Luke, can I have a word with Tom in private, please ?" Y/N finally asked.
As soon as she did, Luke walked away.
Tom looked down at his feet, releasing a long sigh through his nose. Y/N stared at him, waiting for an explanation. When the slightest smirk crossed his lips, she threw her fist across his chest.
Before he could even talk, she growled,
"Now you listen to me, Hiddleston. How dare you ? You humiliated me in front of thousands of people, with no valid reason..."
"Humiliated ? I had a feeling you were enjoying it."
Again her fist landed across his strong chest, harder this time and Tom groaned,
"Fine, fine. I'm sorry, alright ? I know I went too far this time. Look, you were insufferable, Y/N. I was just trying to..."
"To what, Tom ? Destroy my career ? Because my heart wasn't enough, you had to mess up with everything." she uttered, drawing attention to them.
Tom froze, an unreadable expression on his face.
Y/N blinked in confusion, lowering the tone of her voice and avoiding his feral gaze.
"No more excuses." she said as calmly as she could, "Now, you're going to take responsibility for your actions, Tom."
It was his turn to be confused,
"What do you mean ?"
"What Luke said, we're doing it."
Tom chuckled, shifting his weight on one leg,
"You can't be serious." he shook his head, looking for a sign that she was just trying to scare him, but to the look on her face he understood it wasn’t a joke.
"You owe me that. I won’t let you screw my dreams and hopes. You should have thought about this before you kissed me on TV, babe."
Tom frowned, clearly distraught,
"Don't... Don't call me that."
"Oh, really ? How about... baby boo ?"
Oh, she knew how he despised these little names. Right now, Tom was boiling.
"Y/N, we can talk about this. I'll make it up to you, I swear. I didn't realize what I was doing."
The young woman took a step toward him and without the shadow of a doubt, she wrapped her arms around his neck,
"Oh, but I like it this way, my sweet little boo."
"I'm not sleeping on your couch again."
Her body was now dangerously close to his. While mocking Tom was very funny, when Y/N saw the fire in his eyes, she almost melted. He hadn't moved a finger, he didn't need to. Electricity was already coursing through their bodies. Y/N felt her heart stutter, then stop. What was that ? How could she be so thirsty for revenge, yet into him at the same time, after all he'd done to piss her off ?
Tom looked deep into her eyes and they fell silent. Little by little, she noticed tiny details she hadn’t paid attention to before. The warmth emanating from his chest. His body and hers fitting so perfectly together. And he looked so serious now that...
"Amazing." Luke sighed behind their back, "I didn't know you were such a good actress, Y/N."
Y/N came back to her senses and noticed Tom's publicist was staring at them,
"Just..." Luke grabbed Tom's arm and pulled it around Y/N's waist, "here you go... Oh, and..." he pushed her even closer, just so her chest was pressing against Tom's.
Y/N blushed, avoiding Tom's gaze, but before she could protest, she heard the click of an iPhone camera.
"And this goes right to Tom's Instagram account."
Almost instantly, Tom took a step back, his eyes still on you. Sensing his reluctance, Luke patted his shoulder.
"You guys will thank me later. Oh, and Y/N, Abe wants to see you."
Shit, Abe.
Luke knew how to tame her. He just had to say the boss’ name.
"Great..." she muttered, a whole new ball of knots forming in her stomach.
Tom seemed to realize he'd gone way too far this time and he gave her an apologetic look.
"Y/N..." he whispered.
But she'd already turned her back to him.
