Chris

I chocked after I heard that Tom and Emily were having a date. I also dropped a plate and quickly, gently picked up the shards of the plate and put it in the trash bin. Son of a bitch what am I doing? "Bro, you ok?" Seb asked as we walked towards me. "I'm fine. Just... shocked." I replied rubbing my face. "Yeah, I know. Me too, I was actually on your side, but it's really hard to forgive you since my sister as been crying some nights about you." He stated yawning. "Tapping was tiring. Can I crash on the couch?" He asked yawning. "Yeah. Get anything you want from the fridge too." I said walking towards my room. I sighed getting a photo album kept in a secret compartment under the bed. I smiled opening it to see photos of me and Emily on our dates. I smiled feeling really happy seeing Emily's smile again. I reached the last page of the photos to see it was taken days before I broke it off. What am I going to do now? It seems like I lost to Tom already. I would stand a chance if she still loves me like I her. I sighed keeping the photo album back in its place. I laid back in bed ad stared at the ceiling. I hated Valentine's day every since I broke up with her. I have so much to ask her. My eyes slowly closed as I feel asleep.

I smiled feeling myself blush. I rushed down fixing my hair and slowed down in front of the door. I sighed opening it to see Tom with flowers behind him. "Hey." He said smiling. "Hi." I replied opening the door wider for him. He smiled and walked in as I closed it behind him. "These are for you." He said handing me flowers and a box of dark chocolate. "Thank you." I stated walking towards the vase and gently unwrapped the flowers and put it in a vase. "Do you want anything to eat?" I asked turning around. "You cook?" He asked raising a brow. "Depends which dish." I replied smirking. "Can you teach me how to cook?" He asked offering his hand. I smiled and took it, pulling him towards the kitchen. "Mom! Can you cook dinner!?" Naomi hollered. "What do you want?" I asked as Tom looked through the fridge. "CHAO FAN WITH EGG ROLLS!" Kieren replied for them. "What about you Art?" I asked as he yawned coming in. "Fried chicken." He replied drinking a glass for water. "You've been playing since you woke up. Clean your room." I ordered smirking. "No, why would I do that? And how would you know?" He asked frowning. "Boots behind the door, unfinished homework lying under the bed, boxer and briefs scattered on the floor beside you closet, books half finished lying beside the nightstand, your AC⚡DC shirt is crumpled hanging on the door knob, brown leather jacket hanging on the side of the tv... Shall I continue?" I asked raising a brow.

"H-How..." He trailed off blinking. "It's called being a psychic." I replied smirking. "Haha, as if. Fine, I'll go clean my room." He mumbled walking away. "Help Naomi and Kieren clean their room to!" I hollered. "Fuck you, I'm not doing jack squat." He mumbled. "I heard that young man! Clean both rooms or I'm pulling the wifi out of your room and confiscating your console!" I exclaimed as Tom laughed. "Alright! Shesh!" He yelled. I smiled seeing Tom laugh harder. "You're adorable when you're mad." He commented as we washed the veggies and chicken. "Chicken, egg rolls or Chao Fan?" Tom asked folding his sleeves. "Egg rolls." I replied smiling. He nodded and we started to cook. He was so concentrated, it was adorable, like Chris. Shit! Stop it! "You're comparing, aren't you?" He asked smiling. I blushed nodding. "Tom I'm so so-" He cut me off by cupping my cheek and he placed his thumb on my lips. "Your lips are soft." He whispered smiling. I blushed losing my words. What are you doing to me, Tom? "I know you're comparing me to the father of your children and I know you can't help it. You're an open book you know. Your reactions show through your gestures and face." He whispered nearing his face to mine. I blushed staying put. "May I kiss you again?" He asked as our noses touched. I blushed leaning in so our lips touched. He smiled as we kissed and I wrapped my arms around his neck. He wrapped his other arm around my waist pulling us closer. I smiled as we continued to kiss. We pulled away for air and made our foreheads touch. "We better start cooking." I whispered playing with his hair. "You're right." He whispered not moving. "Tom?" I asked smiling. "Yeah, sorry. I like admiring your eyes." He whispered pulling away and we started to cook again. I prepared the plates and helped him prepare the food. "Aw, aren't you two adorable."Arthur teased. "Art, you really want to play that card?" I asked as the twins came running towards us. Tom caught them and carried them around. I smiled as we sat at the table. "Art!" I hollered as he yawned walking down again. I smiled catching him as he fell asleep in my arms. I chuckled kissing his head. I seated him at the table and gently shook him awake. He yawned again smiling at me. Tom said grace and we started to eat. The twins played with Tom after and Arthur fell asleep on the table. I washed the dishes and dried them. I dried my hands and carried Arthur on my back.

"You've gotten heavier." I commented as I took the steps one by one. I slipped and prepared of the impact, but Tom caught us. "Be careful. You shouldn't be carrying him to bed." He stated smiling. I smiled back as he got Arthur from me and carried him. We reached his room and Tom gently laid him on the bed. "You and your late hours of playing." I mumbled shaking my head. I gently removed his shoes and changed his socks. It was freezing! I gently kissed his forehead and Tom went out. Arthur caught my hand and smiled. "Emily... Do you love him?" He asked. I smiled sadly. "Arthur, I know I can't love anyone else, but Chris... I like Tom a lot and I'm hoping he's going to save me from heart ache." I whispered as he gripped my hand. He smiled brightly. "I hope so too." He replied. "Emily, may you sing me a song?" He asked hopeful. I smiled chuckling. "But my voice isn't good." I replied sitting on the bed. "Liar, you know it is." He retorted. "Fine, shesh. What do you want me to sing?" I asked smiling. "Angel with a Shotgun." He replied smirking. I rolled my eyes smiling. "I'm an angel with a shotgun fighting till the wars gone. Heaven won't take me back. I'd throw away my faith babe just to keep you safe. Don't know you know you're everything I have. And I want live not just survive... tonight." I whispered kissing his forehead. He fell asleep. I gently pulled my hand away from his and quietly walked out the room, closing the door behind me. Tom was grinning. "What?" I asked confused. "You can sing." He commented smirking. I blushed looking anywhere, but him. "Come on. I saw your console downstairs." He said taking my hand we went down the stairs. "What about my twins?" I asked worried. "Tucked in." He replied as I watched him turn on the console and tv. "What are we going to play?" I asked raising a brow. He smirked as he put Dance Central in the console. "You want to challenge me with a dance off?" I asked smirking. "Yes, Emily. I am." He replied smirking. Oh my gosh! "I'm going to the toilet." I stated walking up the stairs. I know it's a late birthday gift, but I wasn't able to see him on his birthday so I'm giving him a new polo. He wears polos to his interviews, it was adorable!

I walked down with polo in hand. I reached the leaving room to see him enjoying his game. He was an amazing dancer! "Tom." I called as his game ended. He looked up smiling. "I know it's late, but Happy Birthday!" I exclaimed giving him the wrapped polo. He smiled brightly and hugged me tightly. "Thank you." He whispered kissing my head. I smiled hugging him back. "I didn't think you knew when my birthday was." He whispered pulling away. "Well, I didn't. My notifications were really loud last February 9." I replied blushing. He smiled and pulled me towards him and we played a slow song on the xbox. "You're a pretty good dancer yourself." He whispered as the dance ended and he turned off the tv and console. "Come with me?" He asked smiling. "Where?" I asked. "Out." He replied smiling. "But the kids..." I trailed off as the doorbell rang. He motioned for me to go. I frowned confused and opened the door to see Luke grinning. "Luke!" I exclaimed hugging him tightly. "I thought you left." I whispered sadly. "As if I'd leave my older sister from another mother behind. Well, Tom asked me to take care of the kids for your date... Go!" He whispered as we pulled away. I blushed hitting his arm. He chuckled and walked in. "Evening." He stated waving. "Evening, Luke." Tom replied smiling. "I'll go get my coat." I said skipping up the stairs. I got my coat and tip-toed towards the kids room. I smiled kissing their foreheads. I went out to be mer by Tom offering his arm. I smiled and took it. "Have fun you two!" Luke hollered as Tom wrapped an arm around me and we stepped into the cold. "Mother-!" I cut myself off because of the cold. He chuckled pulling me closer. He was hot. Literally alright! Don't tease me! Body heat was radiating from him.

8:30pm

"Where are we going exactly?" I asked as we walked towards his car. "You'll see when we get there. Please wear this." He whispered covering my eyes with a bandana. "Tom, one fact about me... I love surprises so this thing better get off quickly or I'm removing it myself." I stated as he lead me to the door. "This will be fun." He whispered as he helped me in and gently closed the door. I laughed as he came in after. "You're really adorable." He whispered kissing my cheek. I blushed covering my face. "Lets go." I mumbled remembering my third date with Chris. He did something similar and we ended up in the beach. I wonder what this man has in stored for me. "Are we there yet?" I asked smiling. He chuckled taking my hand in his. "Near." He whispered as I smelled moist grass. Where are we!? I can't wait to look! "Emily?" He asked. "Hmm?" I turned towards him. "I just noticed you have a tattoo on the back." He said smiling. I chuckled smiling. "What do you think it is?" I asked smirking. "Give me a clue." He stated as I felt cold air touch my cheeks. "Well, it's going to be easy if I gave a clue. You'll have to guess it without a clue." I replied smirking. He chuckled. "Alright then... Is it a person?" He asked. "Nope." I replied smiling. "A saying?" He asked again. "N-No!" I exclaimed grinning. "Oh! I'm getting close! Is it a thing?" He asked. I nodded smiling. "Gosh, did it have to be so hard?" He asked faking his sadness. "You know you like it." I replied smirking. He chuckled as he let go of my hand and the car stopped. I frowned not hearing anything. "Tom?" I called after a few minutes. Still no answer. I frowned opening my door and tried to feel anything solid. I put my foot out followed by the other causing me to trip. I gasped as someone caught. "You got impatient." Tom commented chuckling. I blushed looking away. "I'm just teasing." He whispered untying the bandana. "For your information mister Hiddleston, I was worried you got lost." I stated still keeping my eyes shut as he removed the bandana entirely. He laughed kissing me. I smiled and we pulled away slowly. His lips were soft. "Come on." He helped me up and closed the door behind me. I opened my eyes and we walked towards the grass with small picnic on it and a telescope. "Star gazing!?" I asked blinking. "Is it that bad?" He asked hurt. "No, Tom! I've been dying to star gaze! Thank you!" I exclaimed hugging him tightly. He laughed as he helped me seat. "You never cease to surprise me." He commented as he sat beside me.

"Well, you never cease to surprise me as well." I whispered kissing his cheek. He smiled as he opened the basket. He handed me a sandwich a glass of soda. I laughed trying to stop. He smiled. "I knew this would make you smile instead of wine." He stated smiling. A star flew by. "Make a wish." He whispered. I closed my eyes and wished. "What did you wish?" He asked as I opened my eyes. "Nope, not going to tell." I replied finishing the sandwich. I peeked in the basket to see it empty. I raised a brow and he smiled. "I only made for you." He explained smiling. I blushed as he adjusted the telescope. "Here, look through." He whispered as he guided me. I peeked and saw Saturn and its rings. "Amazing." I mumbled pulling away. "Isn't it?" Tom asked smiling. "How did you learn to use this?" I asked. "It's a hobby." He replied as we continued to look through the telescope.

10:30pm

My phone started to vibrate. "Hello." I stated leaning on Tom. He kept the basket and telescope in the car minutes before this call. "Naomi is crying. She's looking for you. Luke was ordered to go home an hour ago." Arthur replied from the other line. "Oh my gosh! Just try to keep her distracted. I love you! Byeeee!" I exclaimed pulling away. Tom laughed standing up. I smiled and he helped me up. He got the blanket and we drove home. I got out of the car and ran in to see Naomi crying on Arthur's shoulder. "Shhhh... Mom's here. Mom's here..." I whispered calming her down. She gradually stopped crying and fell asleep in my arms. "Tom, I am truly sorry for ending our date earlier. I had to ta-" He cut me off with his hand cupping my cheek and his thumb on my lips. "It's alright. Go get the kids to bed. I'll fix the kitchen." He whispered pulling away. I smiled and silently went up the stairs into their room. Kier was fast asleep, sucking his thumb. I smiled and laid Nao beside him. They slept peacefully and I went out quietly. Arthur smiled at me and went to his room. What was that about?

Tom

Ah! She's to responsible and kind and beautiful and... and secretly broken. I can't leave her like that. I have to save her from her misery. I cleaned the counter and the plates that were left behind. Arthur seems to have eaten cake. "You really like her." Arthur commented. "Who wouldn't?" I asked smiling. "I guess you're right, but please, you are the third guy she has in her life who she actually has feelings for. Don't mess it up." Arthur stated crossing arms. "I won't until she admits that she loves him more than me." I stated smiling. "You know!?" He asked wide-eyed. "Since the first day I came here. I... I overheard her talking about Chris." l replied sadly. "You really are the man they say you would be." He said smiling. "Nice to finally meet you, Mr. Tom Hiddleston. Take care of my mother." He said walking away. I smiled as Emily came down smiling. She lead us to the living room with a blanket and we cuddled. We talked about everything and anything. I can't even believe that she's heart broken. She sounds so lively and happy. I smiled as she started to fall asleep. She laid her head on my shoulder. "You're adorable." I whispered kissing her forehead and falling asleep as well. I'll save you, Emily Sophia Margaret Stan.
