2 weeks later
"You haven't heard from him for 5 days now ? Like for real ? But the man used to be all over you right ?" Lulu asked. She was visiting Soraya at the recording studio.
Soraya sighed. "Well yeah. I mean he called when he arrived, and once a day the first week. But now they have started shooting the movie. There is the time difference too and the fact that my phone is turned of when I am at the studio. It's a bit hard to get a hold of each other.
"I told you this would happen darling". Henley said from the couch in the corner, were he was sitting wit his laptop. "I told you he would only break your heart again. I'd bet anything that he is banging that co-star of his, americas sweetheart and every straight mans wet dream Shelby Waters".
Soraya can't help the flash of pain going through her. She still don't know if what Henley told back then was the trurt. Had he cheated on her the first time or maybe it had just been a female friend stopping by. She didn't feel sure what to believe. "I'm sure he isn't Henley, he wouldn't. I'll hear from him soon".
The look Lulu gave her didn't feel entirely convinced. She placed her hand on top of Soraya's on the table, gently squeezing it. "I'm sure you are right sweetheart. Well I need to get out of here now, have to be at work in half an hour".
"You better get going then, we don't want your boss firing you.. again". Soraya said, with a small smile. Her thoughts still mostly on Tom.
Lulu came over to hug her tightly. "He'll hire me back again tomorrow, he always does. Ignore that party pooper in the corner, and let me know when you have heard from lover boy okay ?"
"Yeah when he realises he can't cope without you". Soraya grinned. Lulu had been fired several times, but her boss always realised he couldn't do without her. "And I will, but you better get going anyway".
After Lulu had left, Henley looked up at her. "You know I just don't want to see you hurt sweetie. That man won't stay faithful for 4 months on the other side of the world, not with a sexy co-star who has said publicly that she kind of has a crush on him. If I was his puplicist I would tell him to go for it, se would be great for his image".
"Tom isn't like that". Soraya said, not only trying to convince Henley, but also herself. She decided to try and call Tom when she came home from the studio.

"Tom.. baby. Right now you are one of the most eligible bachelors in Hollywood. Your star is on the rise. Why would you waste your time on one woman ?" His co-star Shelby said. She stood in front of him, running a hand through his hair, as he was waiting for the make-up lady.
He let out a pent up breath and probably sounded a bit annoyed, but he was tired of telling her he wasn't interested. "Shelby.. sweetie, don't you have somewhere else to be ? Something to do ? Like shooting a scene ?"
She tossed her hair behind her shoulder. Clearly loosing patience with him not giving in. "Are you trying to get rid of me babe ? I promise I will make you change you mind, when you realise how much better I would be for you and your image.
"Shelby ! Please run along now. I am not having this conversation with you again. I have a girlfriend and it isn't about what she can or can't do for my image. It's about love". He felt a pang of guilt, he hadn't talked to her for a couple of days. What a great boyfriend he was.
She let out a long drawn sigh, running her finger over his lip, before she turned and walked towards the door. "Well it ain't like she is sidding idle waiting for you sweetie. But I'll see you on the set".
Once she was gone, he sat there, pinching the bridge of his nose, closing his eyes for a moment. This was much harder than expected if he had to be honest. He had been so sure that Soraya was the love of his life. But his own feelings was kind of scaring him. He felt so lonely and the last couple of times they talked Soraya had sounded so distant, like she didn't really cared if he called or not. There was also that tape, the one Henley played to him, that broke them apart the first time. Did she still feel like that ? It was eating at him.
Just then the trailer door opened and in walked the make-up artist. She looked at him strangely. "Are you okay Mr Hiddleston ?" He hadn't even realised that he was crying, and he quickly nodded and dried of his eyes, not really wanting to talk about it.
Once the mak-up artists was finished he had a couple of minutes before he had to be in wardrobe and he decided to try and call Soraya. He needed so badly to hear her voice. It took a few rings before she picked up, sounding slightly out of breath. "Uhhm H.. hallo".
"Hi there my star. Did I catch you at a bad time ?" Hearing her voice made him feel the longing even more, but also all of the insecurity.
He felt like she sounded differently, not like herself and it worried him. "I am still at the studio. It has been a hell of a day so far. Everything that can go wrong, does go wrong".
"Oh I am so sorry to hear that, do you think you have time and energy later so we can talk ?" What he really wanted to do was to hold her in his arms.
She huffed. "I am actually surprised  to hear that you have time to talk to me, since I haven't heard a word for you in almost a week now".
"I'm sorry starlight. I have been very busy and every time I called you phone was of. I promise I call you when I am done shooting". He said softly. He didn't want to bring it up, but she hadn't called him either.
  "Okay talk to you later then doll". She said, sounding very tired.
He softly answer, getting up, ready to go to set. "Goodbye my love". He would just have to push the longing away for a couple of hours and focus on his job.
After a long day on set he was looking forward to going back to his hotel room, ordering some room service and talking to Soraya on the phone for as long as she has energy for. But before he get that far his phone rings and he picks it up. "Hi Luke".
"Hi Tom. Sorry mate, but we need to talk". He sounded like he was actually concerned and Tom sat down on a bench outside the hotel. "It's about Soraya and about your image and your future".
"What now Luke ?" Honestly he was getting tired of constantly having to debate his private life, especially while being away and not being able to really talk to Soraya. "What rumours is it this time ?"
Luke sighed, he knew that Tom was tired of this. Honestly he felt Tom should break it of with Soraya. She was to much trouble. "I have just send you an article Tom. Please think about what you want to do with your future. Your fans are getting tired of Soraya, they think she is wrong for you. They want to see you with someone likable, like Shelby. Honestly you should take her out a couple of times, it would keep your star rising and create more buzz about the movie".
"Luke I don't care about that. I don't care who my fans wants me to be with. I am a human being for Gods sake, not a trained monkey". He rubbed a hand over his face.
"Well you should care more about those thing Tom. This is your time to become a real star. When you are established firmly, the fans are more forgiving". Luke answered. "Just look at what I send and give it a second thought. See you Tom".
"See you Luke". He ended the call and then opened his inbox finding the mail from Luke and opened it. He wish he hadn't. It was an article showing Soraya out on what looked like a date with a man, some high profile rock star. At first he thought it might just be another fake date, not that it wasn't bad enough if she didn't tell him. But the last pictures showed them getting in a limo, looking drunk, hands all over each other, kissing passionately.
So that was why she hadn't called, why she sounded so distant. The pain was pulling him apart. She had finally tired of boring, not hip enough Tom and found someone more suited. Henley was probably clapping his hands. No he needed to give her the benefit of the doubt and call her as he promised, asking her about it.
  He finally got to his room and unlocked the door. Just as he walked inside he saw Shelby standing in the middle of the room wearing nothing but see through lingerie and high heels, making him rub his hand over his face and moan. "Shelby what are you doing here and why are you dressed like that ?"
  She laughed out loud, throwing her head back. Once she recovered from her giggles she looked at him seductively and started to walk towards him. And soon he had forgetten his protests. Finally caving into her advances, forgetting everything about dinner and his phone call to Soraya

Soraya waited most of the night for Tom to call, but of course he never did. She finally turned off the tv and decided to go to bed and once she was in the bed the flood gates opened and she sobbed into her pillow.
What had she been thinking ? Why did she go and fall in love with him ? Why did she go back to a man, who had already made it clear one time that she was nothing but a fling ? She was just a stupid girl who had visited fantasyland, time for her to come back to reality and forget about Tom Hiddleston for good.
