I, um. I. Yes, I do. But a lot of women all over the world like him". Emilie shrugged, slightly embarrassed.
"Yes. But a lot of women all over the world don't get the chance to work with him. Do they?" Joanne reasoned as Emilie poked her fork at her lunch.
"Em, I've worked with Tom for years now. I know when he's flirting. And believe me Lady, he's flirting." Karen smiled as Emilie looked up at her, finally able to leave her lunch.
"Stop being so shy Em. Go for it." Karen encourages her.
Emilie smiled at them both as she gathered up their empty lunch trays and put them in the rubbish.
"Right ladies, back to work." Karen said before standing up.
The rest of the day was spent on set, doing touch-ups on the cast. Emilie was loving every minute of it.
It rolled around to 5:45pm and Emilie and Joanne were done for the day and were packing up their trailer. Joanne told Emilie to leave her kit in the trailer, to save carrying it back and forth every day. Just after 6pm, Emilie said goodbye to Joanne and headed for the gate. "See you tomorrow Joanne, thanks for the great first day". Joanne smiled and gave Emilie a hug. "No problem, Em. See you tomorrow. And get your flirt on tomorrow, huh?" Emilie laughed and shook her head slightly. "Bye, Jo". She called, not waiting to hear anything else she has to say.
She headed her way towards the gates and saw a lone figure leaning against the wall, one foot bent up behind them on the wall. Emilie walked towards the car that was waiting for her and her driver Dave got out to open the door for her. "Good evening, Dave." Emilie smiled. "Hello Miss." Emilie was about climb into the car when she heard a figure softly say her name. "Emilie?" She turned around to see where the voice was coming from to see Tom moving from his place against the wall.
"Hi Tom, what are you doing out here? Joanne said all the cast had left".
"Well, um. Yeah, we did." Tom replied, rubbing the back of his neck with his hand. "But my driver's never turned up. I tried phoning but nothing."
Emilie took in his appearance. He was wearing a black jeans and shows a plain white t-shirt and a smart bright blue blazer. His sunglasses hung from the neck of his t-shirt. 'Mapsosa, jal saeng-gyeoss-eo. {God, he looks good}'. She thought. She composed herself before speaking.
"Well we're going to the same place, I assume. Want to join me?" Emilie offered, nodding her head towards the car.
"Oh, I couldn't impose darling". Tom replied. "I'll just wait on my car". Just as he finished his reply. The rain started to fall.
"Come on, Tom. I bet we're both heading to the hotel, anyway." Emilie tried to reason with him.
"Only if you're sure, Emilie."
"Yes, I'm sure. And please, call me Em." She smiled at Tom. "Now get in the car!" she ordered him, giggling.
"Yes, ma'am". He smiled and Emilie nearly melted. "After you". He made sure Emilie was safely in the car before he shut the door and walked around to the other side before climbing in to join her.
The car ride was quiet for the first few minutes before Tom broke the silence.
"So, how was your first day darling?"
Emilie looked up at him, trying not to grin at what he's just called her. "It was so, so amazing. This is what I've dreamed of doing. I never I would get here."
"Karen was talking about you earlier, she did say you were very talented." He smiled at her, turning his body in his seat to face her slightly.
"Really?" Emilie blushed, again taking interest in her feet.
"Yes darling, she was impressed by you. As was I." He winked at her, smiling.
Emilie threw head down in a small laughter, before composing yourself. "Well I'm glad I made a good impression." She smiled looking him in the eye.
Those eyes. She nearly melted. She slowly blinked before breaking an eye contact.
Emilie was staring out of the window in the silent car, taking in the speeding landscape as it passed. Not believing her life right now. Working on a Marvel movie. Sharing a car and chatting with Tom Hiddleston. How did she get here? She felt Tom touch her hand, bringing her out of her daydream.
"You ok, Emilie? I was speaking but you were in your own little world darling". He laughed slightly.
"Oh! I'm so sorry, Tom. What were you saying?" Emilie turned to face him, making sure her full attention was now on him. 'Geuga geuleohge boil ttae eolyeobji anhseubnida {It's not hard when he looks like that}'. She thought, giving him a quick look up and down, blushing when he caught her doing it.
"I was asking a bit about you."
"What did you want to know?" She smiled. 'Geuneun na-e daehae algo sip-eohani? {He's interested in knowing about me?}' She thought in disbelief.
"Where you're from, family, friends, that kind of thing." He said, looking at her gently.
"Alright, well I'm from a small town in South Korea where the town's cherry blossom trees are in full bloom for a short 10-day period before the petals start to fall. I lived with my parents and my big sister. I moved out 4 years ago when I was accepted into going abroad at the university in Edinburgh. I share a small flat with my friend Viv and I work in Starbucks to pay my way." She smiled and shrugged when she'd finished. "That's me, really. Nothing exciting."
"I beg to differ darling. You seem to be like you could be very exciting". He replied, looking at her directly in the eye. Neither of them wanting to break eye contact.
Dave coughed from the front seat to break the silence between them. "Sorry to interrupt Miss, we're here."
Emilie broke away from Tom's eyes and cleared her throat to speak to Dave. "Thank you very much, Dave." She said as the hotel doorman open her door. "See you tomorrow".
"Same time miss, I'll be here. Goodnight." He turned to Tom as he got out of the car. "Night, sir." Dave said, nodding his head to Tom.
Tom mirrored the gesture, smiling. "Good night Dave, thanks so much for the lift".
"Anytime Sir".
Emilie waited for Tom to catch up to her walked around from his side of the car. They walked into the hotel together and headed to the lifts.
"So, what's your plans for tonight, Emilie?" Tom asked as he held the lift door until she was in before following her.
"Um, checking in with my family, and Viv. And then, well I have a night FULL of excitement ahead of Me." she replied.
"Oh yes?" Tom questioned, wanting to know more, hitting the button for their floor.
"Mhm. It's me and the TV tonight." She laughed and Tom laughed with her, enjoying her sarcasm. "Yes, I don't really know anyone outside the set. They all have families to see and I'd feel horrible to ask them to something for one night. I wouldn't want to take them away from their families." Emilie shrugged.
Tom smiled down at her. "That is one of the most selfless things I've heard in a long time, You're a very sweet person, Emilie". He puts his arms around her shoulder and gave her a quick hug, slightly squeezing her as he did so.
Emilie's arm automatically rested on the bottom of Tom's back as she leaned in. 'Geuneun aju joh-eun naemsaega nanda. {He smells so good}'. She gushed internally, remembering not to say anything out loud.
The lift reached their floor and pinged as the doors opened. Tom held his hand out in front of him and looked at Emilie "Ladies first" she smiled. She had always been a sucker for chivalry.
"Well, I'm free this evening." Tom started, Emilie imagining where this was going, trying not to get too excited in front of him. "I'd like to take you out to dinner, if you'd care to join me. I've enjoyed spending time with you Emilie." He said, looking at her in the eye as she stopped outside her door.
'Uwa, ige siljelo il-eonaneungeoya?! {Wow, is this ACTUALLY happening?!}' she screamed inside her head.
"Are you sure you don't have any plans though?"
"No, I promise. And I really would love to spend more time with you".
"Um, yes. That would be lovely, Tom." She smiled. Her grin stretching from ear to ear.
"That's great." He smiled back. "Well, you go phone you family and friends and I'll meet you downstairs in the foyer at 9? That ok?" He asked, looking at Emilie with hope.
"Sounds perfect, Tom. Thank you."
"Great. I look forward to it." He smiled before leaning down and lowering his voice. "I look forward to hearing that gorgeous accent of yours some more too."
Emilie blushed, not believing what she was hearing.
She looked down shyly for a moment then looks up at him. "I'm looking forward to it too." She smiled. She was feeling brave, boosted by what he'd just said. She stood on her tip toes and gave him a little peck on the cheek. Tom was taken aback by this and smiled.
"See you soon darling." He replied before turning to walk away.
"Wait!" Emilie said. "Where are we going? I don't know anywhere around Here."
"Don't worry." Tom smirked. "I've got it sorted. See you at 9."
