A Second Chance

All over the news!

Tom and I had managed to keep our engagement a secret from the public for a surprisingly long time. It was the night of the Avengers premier in London and we'd decided to have a lazy day at home before the long evening ahead. Tom had cooked me breakfast in bed, which he ended up eating half of. It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when I had started to become very nervous about the evening. My hands were shaking and I couldn't get any sort of work done around the house without dropping things and making more of a mess.

Tom noticed how shaky I was and couldn't help but laugh behind his hand at me while he sat on the sofa watching.

"Stop laughing at me and help tidy this place up Hiddleston!" I snapped, narrowing my eyes and glaring at him and his pure laziness. Tom poked his tongue out at me as he pushed himself off the sofa, I couldn't help but smile. I could never keep a straight, serious face around him when he was in a good mood.

"I can't help laughing at how nervous you are, when you really don't need to be darling" he poked my sides causing me to giggle.

"What do you mean I don't need to be nervous?! Tonight I'm going to be walking down a red carpet with you, in front of hundreds.. possibly thousands of your fans. Did I mention those fans are women who also want to marry you and have your babies?! I won't be suprised that they try to kill me once they find out we're engaged!" I tried not to let my nerves get the better of me but clearly I wasn't trying hard enough.

Tom wrapped his arms around me and held me tight in his arms, kissing my neck. I groaned softly and melted into his body.

"You are a strong, beautiful woman Piper. And no matter what my fans say or what happens tonight, I will still love you, as long as you are by my side, I don't care what everyone else has to say." He whispered into my ear making my heart skip a beat.

I twisted myself around in Tom's arms and planted a gentle kiss on his lips.

"Now I understand why I'm marrying you." I teased before biting his bottom lip playfully.

"You're such a little minx you know that?" Tom chuckled before picking me up and flinging me over his shoulder. I let out a high pitched squeal as he tightened his grip around my thighs. I threw my arms and legs around trying to wriggle out of his hold, all the while, Tom just laughed at me.

I started smacking his bum with my hands in protest and a growl rumbled in his chest.

"You're going to regret that Watson" he said as he threw me onto the sofa and laid himself on top of me. His lips were suddenly on my neck, kissing their way up, down and across my skin. I let out a gentle moan when his tongue began to trace my collar bone and up towards my jaw. All of a sudden Tom just relaxed, so that all of his body weight was pressed onto me. He pretended to snore into my ear making me laugh at the same time as groaning for him to get off me. I poked him in his side and he laughed a little "ehehe" into my ear. I poked him again but this time it was harder, he flinched and rolled onto the floor laughing much more this time.

"I do believe I've found your ticklish spot Thomas" I giggled as I flopped off the sofa and on top of him, attacking his face with kisses and continuously prodding his sides until he was almost crying with laughter.

I stopped tickling him and leant down pressing my lips onto his neck and rubbing my hand up and down his thigh. Once he had finally got his breath back, his chest rumbled with a low tone and Tom wrapped his arms around my shoulders pulling me back up so our lips met passionately. He ran one hand down my back and squeezed my ass, pushing me closer to his body. His tongue lingered on my lips, begging for entry. I opened my mouth and let him slide his tongue over mine softly and brought my hand up to his cheek as they danced over each other during our kiss.
