Chapter 1
It's Saturday mid morning in July and you are standing at the back of a very crowded room. You have brought your sister and daughter to San Diego for a convention for the weekend. They are currently seated up in the middle of the room in the only 2 seats you could find open, raptly listening to the question and answers of the panel for the current Avengers movie.
As you stand there watching the panel someone beside you clears their throat and you look up.
"Hi!" he says all smiles. A handsome young man with light brown hair and glasses, you give him a small smile in return.
"Hi," you reply.
"Do you come to a lot of these things?"
"Not really, this is my first time. Been wanting to come for years, but this was the first time I was able to," Is your answer.
He smiles again and extends his hand, "I'm Luke, nice to meet you."
"I'm Anna."
You stand in silence for a few more moments watching the celebrity cast take more questions from the audience. As you look around the room you see so many girls dressed in revealing outfits, screaming out for the male panelists. You glance back at Luke and realize he is watching you. You offer another small smile.
"Did you come here by yourself?" He asks.
"No, my sister and daughter are up front watching. Couldn't find seats for all of us so I came back here so they could have a better spot."
"So you're not one of those crazy fan girls?"
"No, I'm not" you reply with a little laugh. "But my sister kinda is. Has a thing for Thor."
"Oh? Thor isn't your type?" is his response.
"Not really no." You are starting to wonder where this conversation is going.
"What about Captain America or Iron Man?"
"Well they're both good looking, but again not my type."
"Why not?" he presses.
"Well, Captain American is a little too naïve and good for my taste and Tony Stark is just too full of himself. Of course that and the fact that they are both fictional," you add with another small laugh.
"So what about the actors themselves then? Do you like any of them?"
You think to yourself- what is all this about? Then answer "Well Chris Hemsworth is married, but seems nice, of course you never really can tell until you get to know someone away from all this hype. Don't really know anything about the guy who plays captain America. Robert Downey Jr gets better looking with age but he doesn't have the best history."
"So…. What about Tom Hiddleston?"
"I think he is extremely good looking and seems like a nice person. But again you don't really know until you get to know someone."
"True." He says as the panel is ending.
Your sister Karen and daughter Erica start to head towards you so you look at Luke and say "here comes my sister and kid, I better go. It was nice meeting you Luke."
"Yes it was nice meeting you too Anna, what was your last name again?"
"Scott. It's Scott."
Before he starts to walk toward the front of the room he says "Great, maybe I will see you around this weekend."
Karen and Erica come bounding up. Karen is 5'3", shorter than your 5'7", 10 years younger than you with medium length dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. She is super excited about getting to see her celebrity crush, but right now she has only one thing on her mind. "Soooooooooo, who was that?"
You glance at your 15 year old daughter and take in her short dyed red hair, red dress and black leggings and then immediately look away. You're not sure you want to have this conversation in front of her. "Just some guy who wanted to chat. No biggie."
"Uh huh, right."
"Let's go get lunch, I'm starving," you say changing the subject as you start to lead the way out of the room.
Later that night, after walking back to the hotel room and getting ready for bed, you are laying in bed half listening to Karen and Erica discuss the schedule for Sunday and all the things they want to see on the last day.
"Mom? Mom?"
You startle back to reality. "What? Sorry, I wasn't listening."
"Yeah we know, we asked what you wanted to do tomorrow," Karen says
After thinking for a few seconds you answer "I don't care, I just wanted to stop by that one booth and buy that shirt I was looking at today. You guys can plan out the rest of the time. I'm gonna try to get some sleep. I suggest you do the same. We want to get there early so we don't have to wait in a long line to get in."
Truthfully you had been thinking about your conversation with Luke earlier. Indulging little fantasies about seeing him again. It has been over 6 years since your marriage to Erica's father ended and 2 since your last real relationship. It felt good to have someone pay attention to you.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Luke sits at his computer doing research on Anna. Looking at her social profiles. He finds she is not married, has a college education, lives and works in California a few hours outside of L.A. and seems to center her life around her daughter and a few close friends. There doesn't seem to be anything really negative about her and she seems down to earth, funny and likeable. He prints some screen shots from her accounts that seem to show what she is like, including some with her friends. He would show these to his boss tonight and see what he has to say about this little recon mission.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning as you stand in line waiting to get in at the convention, you think you see Luke heading in a side door marked for invited guests. You shrug it off and go back to people watching with your sister and Erica. Later you are eating lunch alone at a table while Karen and Erica are waiting in line for their food. You chose a chicken salad, while Erica and Karen opted for the burger and fries even though the line was much longer.
"Well Hello again! What a coincidence." You jump and look up into Luke's smiling face. You offer a smile in return.
"Are you here alone today?" he inquires.
"No, my sister and kid are getting food, they should be right back," you reply.
"Oh, ok. Do you mind if I ask you something?"
Your interest is piqued now "sure, have a seat."
As he sits down on the seat opposite you, he begins "It wasn't really a coincidence that I ran into you here today."
"Oh?"
"Yeah", he continues, "My boss sent me to find you. He would like to meet you."
"What?" you ask starting to get a little worried.
"My boss saw you yesterday and is interested in meeting you."
"Um, Ok?" you reply skeptically.
"He is here in one of the meeting halls if you have a few minutes?"
"My sister and kid will be right back, so……. I'm not really sure this is a good idea."
"Are you sure? They can come too if it will make you feel better. My boss really wants to meet you."
You look him square in the eye and say "you know this is how girls get murdered right?"
He chuckles "Yeah I know how this sounds, but this is really legit and I promise you won't regret it."
"Ok," you relent, "I'll come with Karen and Erica as soon as they are done eating lunch. Which room and how do I get there?"
He smiles and proceeds to tell you to go to meeting hall C on Level 2 in 30 minutes, then walks away just as Erica and Karen walk up.
"I see you were talking to your new friend again," Karen says.
"Yeah, it's really kinda weird." You proceed to tell her what happened. "So you guys are going with me so I don't get kidnapped and murdered by some freak." You laugh, even though you are a little nervous about it all.
"Fine, we'll go, but that means we get to go to the Avengers panel today too." Says Erica.
"Alright, when is it and where?"
Erica checks her schedule and says "In about an hour and a half, meeting hall C, level 2."
Well isn't that convenient you think to yourself while you wait for the girls to finish their lunch.
____________________________________________________
Luke heads up to level 2 congratulating himself on getting Anna to agree to come meet his boss. She seems nice and hopefully they will hit it off. His boss can have any woman he chose. His wealth, his looks, his celebrity, but he seemed to always have issues with women. Too many fan girls. Too many industry snobs. But maybe this one would be different.
__________________________________________________
You make your way up to meeting Hall C with Erica and Karen in tow. The door is slightly open so you peak your head in and look around. You think you see Luke talking to someone up by the stage and so you walk in. Luke turns around as he hears you approaching. He smiles and waves you over. You walk up with the girls and shyly say "Hi."
"So glad you came! This is my boss" he gestures as his boss turns around, "Tom….."
"Hiddleston! Oh my god!" Karen squeals.
Erica says nothing, but her eyes are huge. You turn red with embarrassment and look down at his offered hand. After a moment you reach up, shake his hand, look into his eyes and say "Nice to meet you Mr. Hiddleston." Wow, you think to yourself, how lame did that sound?
"Please call me Tom. Can we talk in private? We only have a few minutes before they start letting the crowds in."
"Suuuuure." Is all you can say, still not sure what is going on and trying not to melt hearing his voice.
Tom glances at Luke and catches his eye. Luke turns to Erica and Karen and asks "would you like to see the stage where the actors will be set up?"
Karen glances at you and you nod your approval. "Sure let's go!" She tells Luke.
You walk over to the side of the hall with Tom. He smiles at you shyly and begins "I saw you several times yesterday in the morning and again at the panel in the afternoon. I know it sounds strange, but I asked Luke to speak to you and decided I wanted to meet you."
"Wow, Ok, not sure what to do with that." You mumble.
"I don't have much time; can I call you or text you sometime?" He asks as he pulls out his phone.
"Sure"
"What's your number? I'll send you a text right now so you'll have mine."
You tell him and he taps out a quick message with a smiley face on it. You look down at your phone in shock when it beeps as you realize you have Tom Hiddleston's number.
"It was great meeting you Anna; I have to go get ready for the panel. Will you stay and watch?"
"Yeah, the girls wanted to see it," Is your shocked response.
"Ok, well thanks again for meeting me." He beams at you and turns to walk back stage.
Right about then Luke comes back with Erica and Karen. He looks at you and says "Thank you for coming. It really means a lot to him."
You are shocked again and can't respond other than a small nod and half smile.
Karen's eyes are huge as Luke walks away. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. What did he say?"
"He asked if he can text or call me sometime."
"And???"
"And what?" You ask.
"Did you give him your number?" Karen is practically jumping up and down.
"Yes and I got his, but you know he isn't gonna call, don't even know what this was about. Doesn't matter. C'mon lets go."
"Mom, look what Luke gave us." Erica finally interjects and holds up 3 VIP all access passes. "With these we can sit in the front of the audience for the panel!"
You sigh and turn to walk out of the hall. This meeting has left you confused, flustered and even a little upset. You don't know why Tom Hiddleston would want to meet you of all people. You know that you have a nice figure and consider yourself to be kind of pretty with your waist length light brown hair and green eyes, but you certainly don't consider yourself to be someone that would interest Tom Hiddleston. So this meeting has left you wondering what is really going on.
As you reach the door to the hall there is now a guard at the door. He stops you and says "Ms. Scott, you and your group don't have to leave; you can take your seats in the reserved area right now and not have to worry about the crowds."
"Oh, ok, thank you." You respond and turn in the direction he gestures. Erica and Karen bound ahead to the reserve section and pick out 3 seats right up front. You sigh and take your seat, frowning slightly, head still spinning.
You sit playing with your phone mindlessly while Karen and Erica prattle on about how amazing this all is. You tune it out and wait for the panel to begin while the crowd files in.
This is the last panel of the weekend and it is packed. As the actors file in, you see Tom scan the front rows and smile as his eyes settle on you. You blush and look away. The panel seems to go on forever as the crowd asks question after question. Tom is so gracious with everyone and you see him stealing little glances your way during it. You try not to stare, but it is getting hard. The more you watch the more you realize just how handsome he is.
Finally the panel is over and you watch the actors file off the stage. Tom looks directly at you, smiles and gives a small wave. You smile in return and turn to leave with the girls. You hear the fan girl behind you squeal to her friend "Did you see that? He smiled and waved to me! Hurry let's try to catch him and get backstage."
You walk out of the hall smiling to yourself and decide it's time to go buy the shirt you wanted.
_____________________________________________
After the panel is over Tom is riding in the back of an SUV headed back to LA with Luke.
"So, what do you think?"
"About what?" Luke asks teasingly knowing exactly what is on his bosses mind.
"Her, Anna. What do you think?" Tom presses.
"She seems nice. Hard to know until you get to know someone." Luke answers, unconsciously echoing Anna's own words from the day before.
Tom has looked through everything Luke has given him about her and even done some looking of his own. Their conversation was brief, but he left knowing he made the right choice in meeting her. He doesn't understand why he is so drawn to her, but his mind is made up as he scrolls through her profile more.
_____________________________________________________________
It's now 9pm and you are in bed at the hotel scrolling through your phone looking at pictures of Tom and reading about him. You can't get him off your mind. Your phone vibrates in your hand and your heart skips a beat. Could it be? No, he wouldn't text. Stop being stupid. You close out the web browser and open your text app. You are shocked to see it is Tom.
Hey, are you awake? -T
Yeah just playing on my phone.
It was great meeting you today. -T
You too.
Are you going home tomorrow?-T
Yeah checking out as soon as the girls are up and then heading home. About a 6 hour drive from here.
Wow. Wish I had known before I left.-T
Why
I could have gotten you a flight or something-T
Brought my car so have to drive home
Oh yeah. Oops-T
You type out your response Thank for offering though. That is really nice.
And quickly add and unnecessary. Considering you don't know me just to see what he would say
The response doesn't come right away and you think maybe you have pushed a little too much. Then the phone vibrates. But I would like to get to know you.-T
You stare at your phone, mouth hanging open. What does this mean? What is going on? Holy Crap.
Hello?-T
You realize you didn't respond to him. Sorry, got distracted.
Oh Ok-T
I would like to get to know you too. You hit send before you can change your mind.
Goodnight Anna. I will talk to you later. Text me when you get home so I don't worry.-T
Ok I will. Goodnight.
What just happened? You can't even talk as you hand your phone to Karen and Erica to read the texts. Giggling Karen tosses the phone back to you. "Looks like you have an admirer," She says.
"Alright go to sleep you two, long drive tomorrow." Is all you reply.
Erica has been oddly quiet about everything, but you know she will talk to you about it in her own time so you don't push. You roll over in bed and try to sleep and not think about Tom.
