I Knew it was Love-A Tom Hiddleston One
Shot
A/N: A one shot based
on the prompt `And then Tom said her name and I knew it was love`. It is also
partly based around my video message from Tom Hiddleston where he says my name
which can be found here. http://iamtheseany.tumblr.com/post/37155089491/tom-hiddleston-signing-and-chatting-also-him
I’ve changed the name of the OC as I felt I tend to use my own name in most of
my fics. For Catherine Wilson @CJMacBeathW
Never in my entire life did I think I would be marrying an
actor, let alone Tom Hiddleston, an actor I had admired for so many years.
I remember when me and my best friend Catherine first met
him. Catherine was a journalist for one of the biggest film magazines in the
country: Total Film and had invited me along to the premiere of The Avengers as
her plus one as she knew I was a fan of many of the actors going, one in
particular, one that went by the name of Tom Hiddleston.
As soon as I saw him butterflies began to form in the pit of
my stomach and my heartbeat increased by 100bpm. Tom Hiddleston stood about a
meter away dressed in black trousers, slacks and blazer accompanied by a white
dress shirt and black bow tie, his hair a gingery brown upon his gorgeous head.
Very James Bond.
He worked his way down the press pen smiling and answering
all the interviewers’ questions. So polite. Such a gentleman. It took all of my
strength to not fangirl as he slowly worked his way down the pen and nearer to
where we were standing, well where Catherine was standing, I was stood just to
the left of her as to not get in the shot whilst she interviewed him.
He soon came over to where were we standing, Catherine just
infront of me so he knew she was the one interviewing him. He smiled extending
his hand to her. `Tom Hiddleston`. Catherine took it and shook it `Catherine
Wilson: Total Film, pleasure to meet you Mr Hiddleston` he smiled his pearly
whites. I stood there trying so hard not to speak, my mouth a jar. Tom laughed
his ehehe as he looked straight into my eyes. `And who is this beautiful young woman?
` Tom asked extending his hand. `Rachel` I stuttered taking his hand. `Rachel` Tom repeated. The way his name rolled
off my tongue was pure poetry. Tom turned the back of my hand over in his and
placed a kiss on my knuckles. A spark of electricity ran through me. Was this
really happening? Catherine coughed bringing us out of our daze. Tom let go of
my hand.
`Forgive me, Tom I don’t mean to intrude on you meeting my
friend here, she’s a huge fan but I really need to interview you otherwise I’ll
get in trouble with my boss.` Tom smiled an apologetic look on his face.
`Sorry, where were we? `
Catherine began her interview. Tom answered all of her
questions stealing casual glances at me in the process. I smiled at him trying
not to stare for too long. Once Catherine had finished interviewing him she
thanked him and shook his hand. He then came over to me kissing my knuckles and
slipping a piece of paper into my hand before saying it was a pleasure and
continuing his way back down the press pen to continue his interviews.
Catherine continued hers too, interviewing the rest of the cast including Chris
Hemsworth and director Joss Whedon.
It wasn’t long before the interviews were done and all the
actors and journalists piled there way into the cinema to watch The Avengers. I
was so excited to see it as I loved Tom`s portrayal of Loki in Thor and
couldn’t wait to see how he developed. Before I went into the cinema I took the
piece of paper Tom had given me out from inside my pocket. My hands were
shaking when I opened it. It read:
Rachel, Darling,
It was a pleasure to
meet you. I would love to see you again. If you wish to see me again please
meet me outside the back entrance of the theatre after the film. If not then
feel free to call or text me anytime on the number below.

I wonder when he could possibly have had the time to write
that, maybe he had a note already written out to give to one of the journalists
he would chat up. No, no, he wasn’t like that. He must have gotten Luke to
write it or something.
I pushed the thought out of my mind and walked into the
theatre. I watched the film in complete awe, wondering where the hell you would
even begin with making a film like that. When Tom came on screen it took
everything for me not to shout infront of the whole entire cinema that I had
just met him. Instead I leaned over to Catherine `Oh my god, I can’t believe
I’ve just met him` I whispered to her. She looked over at me and smiled before
whispering back `And you’ve got a date with him after the film` I squealed
quietly.
After the film had finished we made our way out of the front
of the cinema, Catherine to the after party, not before telling me to text her
if I needed her whilst I went and met Tom at the back entrance.
I started to have doubts that the note wasn’t for me when he
wasn’t there when I arrived. I assumed that he had just been held up what with
his cast mates and groups of journalists waiting to interview him again.
About ten minutes later Tom came out of the back entrance
apologising. As soon as he saw me his face lit up, a wide smile appearing on
his gorgeous face, a smile that reached his gorgeous shiny blue eyes.
“I didn’t think you was going to show for a minute” I
laughed.
“I am so sorry to have kept you waiting, darling I got
caught up with press and then Joss wanted to talk to the cast and congratulate
us on our performances.” He smiled an apologetic smile. I smiled back.
“I have to say it was an absolutely phenomenal performance”
I said
“Bless you for saying that, darling. Forgive me if you
wanted to attend the after party but I would much rather take you to dinner and
get to know you” I smiled. “Shall we?” he offered me his arm. I took it without
hesitation.
Over dinner we found out we had a lot in common including
our love of music and books. I asked him about his life whilst he asked me
about mine. It was as though i`d know him for years. He was ever the gentleman
pulling my chair out and holding the door open for me and when dinner was over
he escorted me back to my flat giving me the softest of kisses on the lips
asking if he could see me again. I agreed and I had seen him pretty much
everyday since. The fangirl inside me soon wore off and I just got know him as
Tom which was much nicer than fangirling over him as Tom Hiddleston the actor.
Not long after that he sold is house in Westminster India
We were still going strong a few years later and on our
third year anniversary Tom proposed to me on a London
rooftop looking over the city, the view of the London
It took about a year to plan the wedding. Tom said he didn’t
mind where we got married as long as he married me and could officially call me
his wife. We decided on Highcleare
Castle
Tom wore a gorgeous grey Armani suit and red tie, his hair a
browny ginger like when I first met him with a few days stubble covering his
chin and bottom lip whilst I wore a simple long white dress with a train and
gorgeous vale.
The ceremony was lovely I walked down the stairs that was
used in the show feeling like Mary Crawley which was quite ironic considering
Michelle Dockery and some of the other cast of Downton were there. Carey
Mulligan and Marcus Mumford were also there along with Benedict Cumberbatch and
the cast of The Avengers. I couldn’t believe that all these famous celebrities
were at my wedding!
At the end of the day none of that mattered, the only thing
that mattered was that Tom was waiting for me at the end of the isle and that
all my friends and close family were there. Catherine was my maid of honour
along with Tom`s sister, Emma and a couple of my cousins.
We said our vows and signed the register. It was weird
signing my name as Mrs Hiddleston but I was so happy. After we had signed the
register friends and family members came over and congratulated us before we
all went outside and posed for photographs outside the castle and on the
grounds before making our way to the Saloon where the reception was going to
take place.
The Saloon was a beautiful building within the castle just
opposite the staircase I walked down before walking into the library to say our
vows. The tables had been set up at one side of the room, with the top table at
the back of the room and smaller rounder tables surrounding it, half of the
room was left clear as the dance floor.
The buffet was laid out on a long table, much like the top
table, to the left side of the room. It was simple but lovely and featured all
the things you could possibly imagine a buffet to have, sausage rolls, cocktail
sausages, a range of sandwiches, the lot. We decided we’d go simple rather than
splashing out lots of money on a fancy three course meal.
Once the buffet had been eaten it was time for the speeches.
My dad got up first saying how happy he was that I’d found someone that had
made me so happy. He welcomed Tom to the family with open arms and said that he
was proud to have such a talented son in law.
Catherine made a speech next as she was my maid of honour.
“I’ve know Rachel all my life, we’ve had our happy moments, our sad moments and
our crazy moments. She’s had many obsessions over the years including one with
Pirates of the Caribbean , Audrey Hepburn and
Downton Abbey- which is most likely why she wanted to get married here.”
Everyone laughed. “I accepted her through all of these and I knew it wouldn’t
be long until she was obsessed with something or someone else. When she first
discovered Tom I knew I wouldn’t hear the last of it and that it would be an
obsession she had forever. She went on about how perfect and gorgeous he was
and so when I became a journalist I invited her to the premiere of The Avengers
as I knew Tom was going to be there. Her face when she saw him was a picture.
She was so starstruck that the man she had admired and been obsessing over for
years was right in front of her and when he said her name for the first time I
knew it was love. Now here we are less than four years later and she’s married
to her favourite actor. Who would have thought it? Everyone laughed again.
“Anyway what I`m trying to say in my own weird way is that I love you and am
glad that you and Tom are so happy and that your fairytale worked out. So if everyone
would be so kind as to raise their glasses to the new happily married Mr and
Mrs Thomas Hiddleston”
“Mr and Mrs Thomas Hiddleston” the crowd cheered and clinked
glasses. In that moment I knew I couldn’t be happier and that I’d married the
man of my dreams.
Tom finished the speeches by thanking everybody for coming,
saying how perfect the day had been and how happy he was to now be married to
be and to be able to call me Mrs Hiddleston.
After the speeches the music began and me and Tom took up
our place of the dance floor for our first dance as man and wife. We decided
that our first dance song would be `You Belong to Me` by Jo Stafford as The
Deep Blue Sea was one of my favourites of Tom`s movies and he liked the song
too.
He guided me on to the dancefloor and we began a slow waltz
along with the song. I was happy and content. I’d finally married the man of my
dreams I was so happy. A group of guests gathered round the two of us taking
photos whilst some others came and joined us on the dancefloor.
Tom spun me around before bringing me in for a long
passionate kiss. “Thankyou for marrying me Mrs Hiddleston today has been the
best day of my life and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you and
have children with you. I love you”
“I’ll never tire of you calling me that” I sighed snuggling
against his shoulder.
“I`m glad darling, because I don’t plan to stop calling you
it anytime soon, Mrs Hiddleston. He kissed my cheek. “Mrs Hiddleston” he kissed
my head. “Mrs Hiddleston. He kissed my neck. “Mrs Hiddleston” he said once more
before placing a kiss on my lips.
“I love you Mrs Hiddleston”
“I love you too, Mr Hiddleston”
We enjoyed the rest of the evening enjoy the evening and
time with our guests it was certainly a day I would never forget.
