Right now, I'm writing this story down so that I can calm down my fast beating heart. The reason behind my non-stop twitching muscle? The the magnificent, Tom Hiddleston. I just can't get him out of my head!

I obviously don't own anything besides my own characters...

Chapter 3

As the days went on, the more anxious Tom felt. Yes, he couldn't wait to see Selena again, but he was afraid of what she would think of him once they got to actually know each other. Their coffee 'date' was all that was on his mind. That, and the mysterious woman herself.

I wonder what she's doing? Tom thought for the thousandth time that day.

"Tom."

...

"Tom."

"Hmm?" He replied to the bodiless voice.

"Are you okay?" Tom finally looked up to see it was Luke who was talking to him. He could also see that everyone in the room was looking at him. Everyone being; Tom Holland. Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans and Robert Downy Jr. Tom could feel his cheeks heat up from all the stares directed towards him. He cleared his throat and looked down to his hands in his lap.

"I'm fine." He said clearing his throat again.

"Let's just get back to the script, shall we?"

After saying that, everyone went back to their work, but still stole glances his way every once and a while.

Later that day, Tom got home and immediately took a beer from the fridge and sat down on the couch.

Ding!

Tom fished out his phone from his pocket to see he got a few messages. One from Luke asking how he was faring. One from his mother, and one from her. Tom felt his lips tug up into a smile. His heart rapidly beating against his chest from happiness, add suddenly he couldn't believe how happy this woman was already making him feel.

xx Hey you :) how was your day? xx

Without even thinking, his thumbs started typing a reply.

xx It was fine, thank you for asking. How was yours? xx

A couple minutes passed before his phone rung, indicating he got another message. He found himself rushing towards the small thing like a school girl and ended up chuckling at himself, glad no one was there to see him.

xx It was okay. Some rude customers, but I'm used to them by now xx

Tom raised his brow in question, realizing he never asked Selena what her profession was.

There's so much he doesn't know about her. He thought to himself.

xx Rude customers? What did they do? xx

Another couple minutes pass by before the familiar 'ding' of his phone went off.

xx Just the usual. Pig-headed men asking for my phone number, then getting mad when I reject them. An old woman yelled at me today, accusing me that I got her order wrong when really, she just accidentally grabbed someone else's order mistaking it for being hers. Another woman also snapped at me because she got exactly what she wanted. She just didn't ask for extra caramel on her drink when she wanted extra caramel. Which is really boujee.

Tom felt angry and confused while he was reading her little paragraph. Angry, because of the man who dared to ask for Selena's phone number.

Calm down Tom, she isn't even yours.

...

Well, not yet she isn't. The corner of his lips tilted upwards at that thought and he continued.

He felt confusion because of the strange word she used towards the end.

Boujee? What in God's name did that mean? But still, he continued on with her text.

There were also this woman that came in today that got really upset about the milk being left on the counter. Here's the thing, if it wasn't being in constant use, then I would have seen why she would be upset, but it was! It was being in constant use! I just don't understand. Then, she demanded to speak to the manager!

The message stopped there, but Tom felt that it didn't stop there. Just then, his phone 'dinged'.

xx You know what, I shouldn't ruin your day with stories of rude customers xx

The man felt himself smile at her selflessness.

xx There's also just too much to write down -_- XD xx

Tom thought to himself for a moment. He did want to hear more, but he loved that Selena was thinking about him before her. He didn't know what to say, what should he say? Before he thought of anything, his thumbs started moving on their own.

xx Would you like to talk on the phone tonight? I'd like to hear about your day. It sounds very interesting ;) xx

What have I done!? Tom thought to himself frantically.

A couple minutes passed and he thought he blew it. He put his phone down sadly and angry at himself.

Ding

Tom's heart jumped to his throat and he pounced onto the couch making his phone go into the air before he expertly caught it. He looked at it, hoping it was the girl he could NOT get off his mind. After reading the message, the actor put down his phone again. It wasn't her.

xx Avengers assemble. xx

It was Chris Evans trying to gather his co-workers who were in town.

Tom wasn't really in the mood to go out and drink.

Well, not anymore.

Ring, ring, ring!

Sighing, he picked up his phone.

"Chris, I'm sorry mate, but I'm not really in the mood to go-"

"I'm assuming from you just calling me 'Chris' that you thought I was someone else? Hahaha!" Tom knew those rings of laughter anywhere by now. His heart literally soared into the sky at the sound of her voice.

"Selena!" He accidentally yelled out in excitement. He could hear Selena pull the phone away from her ear because of his sudden loud burst.

"Whoa, Tom!" She yelled back making Tom let out a low chuckle.

"Hi.." He sighed out, not wanting to let the other party know just how excited he was. Selena let out another giggle, letting out a sweet sigh that sounded from Heaven.

"Hey there, handsome. How was your day?" Her voice was just music to his ears. He didn't answer right away.

"It was quite alright. Thank you for asking. How was yours, darling?" She let out another sigh, this time it was much longer.

"Customers are customers. Even the rude ones. However, the ridiculous ones... Sigh.. They just need Jesus!" Tom barked out a laugh, almost spitting his beer out. Selena laughed along with him.

"Haha, oh my goodness. Thomas, it wasn't that funny."

"On the contrary, miss Selena. It was very funny."

"Hah, okay then. Lolololololol." The actor scrunched his nose in being left out on the joke, but let it go.

"Did you swoon me just to entertain you, mister Hiddleston?" He could hear the smile in her voice. She was teasing him.

He can tease back if she wanted to play this game.

He felt his lips pull into a smirk at his last thought.

"I don't plan to give away my secrets, my lady." He could hear her let out a chuckle at his little tease.

"What are you doing now, darling?"

"Oooh, nothing at the moment. Just trying to fix my glasses and re-watching Orange is the new black."

Orange is the new black? Tom heard of the show, but never really watched it.

"Your glasses? What happened to your glasses?"

"They were smashed in the name of Jesus." Tom would have laughed at Selena's southern accent, but he was now worried and curious about the situation the woman got herself into.

"Someone smashed your glasses in the name of the Lord's son?"

"I'm guessing you never watched the show the show if you don't get that reference." She ended her statement with a sweet chuckle.

Tom gave out a low grumble of a laugh.

Of course she doesn't wear glasses, I would have seen them by now.

"I'm afraid I have not seen it, darling." He heard some shuffling on the other line, indicating Selena was moving to get more comfortable.

"Oh, boy. That's a bummer. I'm afraid we have to stop talking now, hah." Even though Tom knew that the young woman was joking, he couldn't help the sinking feeling in his stomach.

"Oh, darling. Is there anything I could do to change your mind?"

"Hmm..." After a few silent seconds of fake thinking, Selena finally spoke.

"I'll forgive you." Tom began to smile.

"Only! If you watch all 6 seasons with me."

"Deal, darling." Selena chuckled.

"Thomas, you're so endearing." His heart soared into the sky at her words and felt his cheeks heat up.

"I may be endearing, but you love, are beautiful."

"Tom, you already wooed me. You' don't have to try and flatter me anymore."

"Oh, but my darling. I plan to make you feel like no other has made you feel before." There was a pause and Tom like he went too far.

"You already do, love." Those words spoke volumes to the young actor.

"Good." He heard the woman sigh. Wether in happiness, or contentment. He didn't know, but he was glad he was the reason she made that sound.

"Any plans for tonight, Mr. Hiddleston?" Tom sat back and rested his beer on his knee. The cold of the glass reminding him this was no dream. This was real.

"I plan on talking to you all night. Does that sound good enough for you?"

"Ha, ha. I meant actual plans. Like, going out with friends, partying. All that jazz."

"Darling, you're younger than me. Shouldn't you be at that stage where you go out every night with your friends, partying?" Deep inside, Tom hoped she didn't. He didn't like the idea of her being out and about, surrounded by strange men.

"Hah! Lololololol. That's a joke. I'm a homebody. Plus, now that I got my brother to look after, I really don't have time."

"A homebody?" Tom questioned. He was not up to date on American slang.

"Yes, it's a person that loves to stay at home. Watches a lot of t.v. Has no friends."

"You? Have no friends, darling? I doubt that."

"Oh, and why do you say that?" Tom rolled his eyes, and got up to get another beer.

"Have you met yourself, love? You practically bring people in with that aura of yours. I'm sure you have friend." He heard her give out a giggle, and smiled.

"I'm too cool for friends." Tom was about to question about himself, but she spoke again.

"Just kidding! Lololol. I'm not cool. But, I do have friends. They're back home. In the good 'ole states!"

"How long have you been in London, darling?"

There was silence as she counted the time that has passed.

"About... Almost 3 months. Xavier and I moved here in April. We went back to celebrate his birthday in May. We're going back he 25th to celebrate my birthday." Tom was saddened to hear she was leaving. He wanted to be near her at all times. Even now, he wanted to be with her, but hearing her voice was enough.

For now.

"Are you coming back?"

"Awe, Tom. Are you gonna miss me?" The man rolled his eyes, but played along.

"Terribly so, darling."

"Is it me, or the opportunity to flirt with a gorgeous woman?"

...

"Of course I'm going to miss you."

"You waited too long to answer that, sir." Tom let out a laugh while Selena stayed silent.

"It's not that funny, Tom." Selena said with a slight hint of enjoyment in her voice. The actor kept laughing, the whole situation being too funny to calm down. That, and the fact that Tom felt he could actually be himself with this girl.

A simple 'rude' was said and the man laughed more.

"Well, I guess you won't be missing me that much then. We're coming back that following Monday."

"Darling, it's true I do enjoy gaining your favour with sweet words of truth, but I will be calling and texting you every chance I get because I'll be missing you. The thought of not seeing you, your beautiful fave, not hearing you breath taking voice, ugh! I dread the thought." Selena let out a loud chortle.

"Hah! You flatterer!"

"It's the truth, darling." The woman became silent and fear prickled its way into Tom's thoughts again.

"To be honest, I'll miss you too Thomas." Tom could not wait to hear her say his name again. They were both silent for a while until Selena broke it.

"No, but seriously! Do you have any plans for tonight?! Tell me all the deets, girl!" Tom cocked his head to the side and scrunched his brows.

"Did you just refer to me as a'girl'?"

"Yaaas Queen." A snap of the fingers were heard at the end.

She answered that way too quickly.

"Darling." Tom said in a low warning tone, but on the inside was not serious what so ever.

"Come on! Humor me, would you! My girlfriends are all back home, and my sisters are sleeping."

Silence.

"Oh, fine! But you're getting a facial and all the works during our binge watching for 'Orange is the new black'. It's the only way to watch it." Tom let up his act with a sigh, shaking his head.

"I made a deal with the devil, didn't I?"

"You know it, babe." The woman said nonchalantly as if she were talking about the weather. Tom rolled his head.

"To answer your question from earlier, No. I don't have plans." Tom could feel Selena begin roll her eyes, but spoke before she could comment.

"However, I was invited by one of my friends for a night out while they're in town." A long 'mhm' was let out.

"Let me guess. It was your friend 'Chris'. One of the ever famous Chris's." Tom let out a low chuckle.

"You are a witch, darling."

"I learned from the best." Tom straightened in his seat

From who?

"Who would that be?"

Pause.

"Loki."

"Oh god!" The man threw his hands in the air as he slumped back into the couch.

This woman!

While Selena was giggling away, Tom was running his free hand through his hair.

"You are an infuriating woman."

"That may be true, but I seem to recall a certain actor trying to 'gain my favour'."

God, what was this woman doing to him?

"And I shall keep trying to gain your favour, even after I have you by my side."

"Ahhh, so the truth finally comes out, good sir."

"You caught me." A ring of the sweetest giggles came forth and Tom's heart was hammering so hard in his chest.

"So, what are you doing here? Why aren't you out with your friends tonight?"

"I'd rather spend my days getting to know you."

"You'd be the very few I'm allowing that privilege."

"Why is that, darling?"

"The inner mechanisms of my mind are an enigma." Tom felt that she was dodging his question, but didn't bring it up. He was not about to push her away.

"I'd be happy to unlock all your secrets, darling." A smirk played across Tom's face at Selena's next words.

"Is that a challenge, my dearest Tom?"

"You know it is, darling." He purred out the last words, and he could practically feel the woman on the other line shiver.

"Challenge accepted." Selena said in a low, husky voice. It was Tom's turn to shiver.

For the next couple of hours they talked, mostly flirted, but talked none the less.

Tom learned that she was the oldest of 7. Two older girls, Selena and her sister who lives with her and Xavier, Maria. Three middle children, and two other children. One boy on her mom's side and one on her dad's side. Both children from different parents. Selena and her sister Maria both moved to London to study abroad. Selena sin the English Literature program to become a writer, and Maria... Well, Tom thinks that she was in the medical program-something that has to deal with medical. He wasn't really listening, for he was more interested in what Selena was doing.

Just like him, her parents were separated, but they were never married. They had 5 children together, split up, then had one more child with a different spouse. The first 5 children were all girls, and the last 2 were boys. Selena was the eldest turning 22. Maria turning 20. 15, 13, 12, 7 and 3 were the rest of the children.

Her mother was German, Polish, and English decent. Selena told him how her mother was fair skinned, blonde wavy hair, and green eyes. She also said that her and her mother are always mistaken for each other when they pick up the phone because of how similar they sound alike. While her father was Mexican-Aztec, french and also English decent. Was very dark tanned skin, black hair, and deep brown, almost black eyes. Her, Maria and Xavier take after their father. While the three middle girls and her other brother take after their mother. All three girls live with their mother, while the father gets to see them whenever he wants. He still didn't know the situation with Xavier, the youngest. He wasn't going to put his nose where it didn't belong. Selena will tell him when she finds it necessary.

She was a family person. She treasured all of her family and close friends more than anything. She even dreamed of having a big family of her own one day. Selena also loved reading, writing, playing/hanging with her siblings and family, and singing.

"Really? You sing?"

"I'm no Selena Gomez, but yes. I've been singing since I can remember." Tom sat up close to the edge of his seat, waiting to hear an example.

"Can I hear?" There was a slight pause.

"Is that a 'no', darling?"

"Maybe some other time, hah... I might seem confident, but I'm actually shy of the lime light."

"Okay, I won't push. Whenever you're ready, I'm here."

They kept talking for another couple of hours. This time, Selena was asking Tom questions about his life. How many siblings he had. How his childhood went. What his hobby was.

"You are an interesting man, Mr. Hiddleston."

"I assure you, miss Selena. You're far better interesting than I." A small giggle and a 'mhm' was heard before more shuffling sounded.

"Did we really talk until morning?" Tom checked his watch. Indeed, it was morning.

4 a.m.

I could talk to this woman for ages and it still wouldn't be enough.

"I should probably get to sleep before Xav wakes up at 7."

Only 3 hours of sleep? This woman was truly amazing.

"I'm truly sorry I kept you up all night long, darling."

"Don't be. I'd talk to you till morning again in a heart beat!" Tom smiled and felt himself blush.

"Good night then, Tom."

"Good night, Selena. Sweet dreams, love."

"Sweet dreams." And with that, she hung up and Tom could not wait to see her again...

Sorry for such a long wait and for a short chapter!

I promise I'll get it going! I just need to think of how this story is going to go.

However, I do have another story that is Loki/OC. Please R&R that one while you wait for this one!

Thank you!

As always, I own nothing except for my characters!
