Never Go To Sleep ( a Tom Hiddleston fanfic )

Chapter 3

Bright lights shone as I open my eyes. And someone was patting on my shoulder continuously, which is really getting on my nerves.

What a weird dream, I thought

" Wake up. Wake up. Wake up," It was Taylor. Her voice is so special that you can recognize it the first time you hear it.

" Hhmm..."

" Geez.. wake up. No more dreaming. Did you stay up late last night?"

" Wha-- What, no way,"

" Liar,"

" What are you doing here? Your desk is like, four levels above mine." I asked curiously.

" You're kidding me, right? It's break time, sleepy head!"

" HECK?"

How long have I been sleeping? 4 hours? 5 hours? I asked myself.

" Oh and you promised to tell me what happened this morning! Come on! Get your ass up!" Taylor reminded me.

" Okay."

We walked side by side down the hallway to the lunch room, but I still feel a bit strange from the bad dream I had.

I got my tray of food and placed it at an empty table with four chairs. When Taylor came and sat, Logan came, too. And so I started telling them both about this morning, except for the dream I had.

" Look who's the lucky girl today," Taylor singsonged.

" Nobody," Logan replied not very happily.

Taylor shot him a killer glare. "You're just jealous. I can see it in your eyes," Lana shrugged.

" Hell no!" Logan said half angry half embarrassed.

" You are,"

" Am not,"

" You are,"

" Am n--,"

Someone behind me cut them off.

" Would you mind if I sit with you guys?" there's no mistaken it is Tom's voice.

That soft but clear, smooth and polite British accent. You'd notice it even if you've heard only once.

" Um, y-y-yes of course you c-can," Oh great. Now I'm stuttering. Nice try, Lana.

" So...," Tom cleared his throat first. "May I introduce myself?" He asked.

" Okay." we all said simultaneously.

" My name's Tom Hiddleston, and I'm new here as you all know. And I work in the accounts department," then it's Taylor and Logan's turn.

After they finished introducing, Tom asked, " What about you, Lana?"

I can't help but freak out a bit because I don't know what to say. But I got over it and pulled myself together.

Say where you work! I screamed in my head.

" W-well, I work at the accounts department, too," I said and forced myself a nervous smile.

Tom cocked his head and said," Oh, great! So I guess we'll be seeing each other very often. And maybe we could have lunch together,".

" Okay. That's great, you know," I tried fidgeting for some better things to say but couldn't, because I'm too nervous.

" Look, I apologize that I can't stay any longer as I'm going to meet the boss, so I'll be sure to see you guys next time!" He got up, took his tray and walked away.

" Wow. Just wow. He's gorgeous. I'd definitely ship the two of you," Taylor exclaimed.

" What? You don't think he likes me, right?" I asked, pretending like I don't know he likes me.

" Of course he does! I can see it. After all, I am a love expert," Taylor said proudly.

Lunch break is over. And we headed back to our desk and continue working, while I secretly smile at the thought of him.

Sorry I haven't been updating for so long, I've been really busy lately. I apologize. But I'll try my best. 😊

LOL,
