❛ Good news ❜

It was here. Blair had Tom all to herself for two weeks in between his filming. Yes, she was filming D2 but whenever she had even a second to spare she would spend it with her boyfriend of four months. They were very much in love. 

In Blair's trailer, the sun had just peered through the window and the curtains did little to hide the yellow light. However, it was not the light that awoke the two sleeping very comfortably in the bed. An obnoxious ringing disturbed the room and Blair groaned, slapping her hand around the nightstand to try and blindly grab the phone. The man next to her turned over the other direction, taking part of the sheet with him. Blair finally opened her eyes once the sheet had been pulled off of her and she quickly snatched the phone to see what the ringing was about.

There was a number on the screen that she hadn't seen in a while and she stared at it confused. But she didn't get to stare at it long because the person next to her groaned, "Who is it?" he asked groggily. Blair glanced over at him and leaned down, giving him a peck on the cheek and patting his shoulder once. "I'll be a minute," she replied before standing up and putting the phone to her ear. "This is Blair," she spoke into the mic while searching the bedroom to try and find some clothes to throw on.

"Blair! It's been a long time!" the man cheered. Blair smiled and grabbed a large shirt from the ground and threw it over her torso. She then tugged her underwear onto her legs and stepped outside of the bedroom, closing the door softly behind her. "Yes, it certainly has," she laughed. "I didn't think I'd get a call from you for at least a year, maybe two."

"We're wrapping up with Tom," the man on the other line sighed. "He's great, and we'll have our highest anticipated box ratings yet, but we need another movie up on the line ASAP," the man explained. "Where do I fit into this idea?" she wondered, waltzing into her kitchen to pour herself a glass of water. "Is Tom around?"

Blair glanced at the door behind her, "He's sleeping," she responded. She went to the cabinet behind her and grabbed the orange bottle with the white lid down and setting it on the counter. "Okay, well," the person said, "Keep this under wraps because we still have a lot of details to work out, but I have a proposal for you."

"I'm listening," she said with her phone to her ear as she swallowed two pills by throwing her head back quickly. "We've been wanting to explore the idea of a Madame Hydra movie for a while. We used it in AOS but we didn't get the feedback we expected since we used it in an alternate reality situation. The responses with a teenager being M.H. and having a Bucky Barnes backstory have been outstanding and I've talked about it with my brother and we've already got writers planning out a plot. We just want to know if you're willing to continue your role outside of the Avengers movies."

Blair found herself smiling extremely wide and threw a hand up in the air while silently cheering. She just wanted to shout in joy. She had been waiting for this moment for years. She just wanted to tell Tom, but he was a person she couldn't.

"Uh, Blair?" the person asked on the other end as the girl didn't respond for at least a minute. "I'm here!" she quickly replied. "I'm here."

The man chuckled, "Alright, you sound eager. Do I hear good news?"

Blair grinned, "Yeah, Joe."

The girl paused for a moment. "I would love to reprise M.H."

"Yes! I'm so excited! I'll be faxing over information as we get it! This is going to be big, Blair! Keep this a secret, alright? I'll be in touch!"

"Thank you so much! I won't say a word!"

"Can't wait!"

The line clicked on the other end and Blair jumped up and down three times in joy. She knew she had to conceal her excitement from Tom but she was just too overwhelmed by happiness. "Baby?" she heard from the other room in a groggy voice. Blair smiled and placed the phone on the counter on do-not-disturb mode and then made her way back to the bedroom. She opened the door and closed it gently behind her, seeing Tom sitting up in the bed with only a sheet covering him. "Who was it on the phone?" he asked as his beautiful girlfriend approached him. "My director just reminding me of notes from yesterday," she lied so easily. "You look happy," he noticed, seeing the glow on her cheeks. "Why wouldn't I be? My handsome boyfriend is in front of me," she giggled.

Tom  grabbed her hand and pulled her on top of him, then rolling on top of her while peppering his cheek with kisses. Blair was giggling under his touch and he smiled at the love of his life, "Have I ever told you," he said in between kisses, "how much I love you?"

Blair smiled, "Every day," she laughed as he tickled her side. Tom pushed himself up as he hovered above her and pressed his lips to hers passionately. "How much time do we have?" he muttered against her lips. Blair looked into his eyes and breathed out heavily. "We have all morning."
