Somebody to Love

I just don't want you to get hurt.

What if she leaves you and the girls?

You've only known her for 5 months. You knew Zawe for 2 years before getting engaged.

Tom shakes his head and tries to get rid of his sister's voice racing through his mind. A notification comes through and Tom checks it while at a red light.

Tom Hiddleston With a New Love? Is Marriage Near?

"Oh piss off." he whispers and swipes the article away.

He continues driving while thoughts go through his mind. It's no one else's business but his and Bethany's. They're not the ones living with the decision so why do they care?

She might leave you, Tom.

Just please think this through.

You're using our mother's ring?

Tom pulls up in the parking lot and waits in the car while looking for Bethany's car. His heart is beating fast and he feels light headed.

Tom carefully takes the ring out of the velvet box and holds it in his sweaty hands. "You love her, Tom. This is the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with." he says, almost having to convince himself of this. He repeats the words in the mirror.

Two beams of light come across his car. He looks up and sees Bethany pulling up next to him. He fumbles with the box and stuffs it in his suit jacket.

"Hi!" Bethany smiles while getting out of the car. "You got all dressed up."

"You said you were snagging a dress from set so I thought I should look nice." Tom smiles back.

Bethany jogs in her heels over to Tom and kisses him on the lips. Her face is glowing. "Hi."

"Hello," Tom says with a chuckle. "You look happy. What's going on?"

"Nothing." She knew what he was doing. She ordering dinner on his phone and a text from Diana popped up about the ring. "Come on! Let's go sit. This place is beautiful."

"Is the lake too much? I know it's a little... rustic, but..."

"It's perfect." Bethany whispers. "Absolutely perfect."

"Well how was filming?"

"It was fine. Let's not talk about me. What'd you do today?"

"Um, I saw my mum." Tom says. "We just sat and talked for a bit. My sister came over to pick up biscuits and we talked for a bit."

"How's she doing?"

"Same as always... judgmental."

"It doesn't matter, honey. I told you about my brother. We love each other and that's all that matters. I love you so much."

"I love you too, darling."

Tom and Bethany hold each other's hands.

"What are you nervous or something?" she teases. "Your hands are really sweaty."

Tom quickly pulls them away and sets them on his lap. Bethany reaches across the table and grabs his hands. "I don't care."

Tom sighs and bounces his leg to try and calm himself down. "I forgot something in the car. I'll be right back."

"Sure."

Bethany sits at the table a she watches Tom digging in the back of his car. A large smile paints her pale face. She can't wait until he's officially hers.
