Emily
I need coffee. Taking care of crying twins all night is so hard! "Goodmorning, ma'am! I'm Jenny! What would you want for today?" She asked smiling. "Coffee, grande." I replied yawning. I was wearing shades, sweatpants and a sweater over my muscle tee. "Miss?" She asked. "Emily, please. Thank you." I replied smiling. She smiled back and gave my slip. I sighed walking towards a table by the window. I closed my eyes for a few minutes then I left a slight tap on my shoulder. I frowned opening my eyes to see a familiar light brown headed girl. She smirked holding me a coffee. I raised a brow confused. "My, my, Emily. Have you forgotten who I am?" She asked smiling. Holy shit! "No way! Brianna Dimitrova!" I exclaimed gently getting the coffee from her and hugging her tightly. "Can't... breathe..." She mumbled tapping my arm. "Sorry!" I exclaimed lowering my shades a little. "You've gotten stronger." She commented taking a sip of her drink. "How'd you even know it was me?" I asked confused. "You're the only girl I know who would wear stuff like that to be her disguise." She replied smiling. I rolled my eyes taking a sip. "How'd you end up here at this time of day?" She asked gently putting her drink on the table. "My twins kept crying last night." I replied yawning. "Twins!?" She asked whispering. I nodded smiling. "Y-You're a mother!?" She asked wide-eyed. I nodded again smiling. "Whose the father?" She said raising a brow. I frowned remembering Chris. Someone blew on my ear as I gave out a shriek. I turned to see Tom Freaking Hiddleston! "What are you doing here?" I asked frowning. "Your disguise doesn't work at all, darling. Teens are tweeting about being here." He replied putting an arm around him. Brianna's jaw dropped and I smirked. "Is he..." She trailed off crossing her arms. "I'm what?" He asked smirking at me. I felt my ears heat up. "No, he's not the father of my twins." I replied smiling. "But he called you..." She trailed off confused. We laughed. "He just calls me that." I replied noticing that Tom was wearing a cap and shades. "As if your disguise doesn't throw you off." I retorted raising a brow. "No one recognized me when I got in." He replied smirking. I rolled my eyes as we spent a whole three hours fooling around until the staff kicked us out. It was freezing and I was shivering.
"You're adorable." Tom whispered as Brianna smirked. I blushed as we walked towards Bradley's house. "So this is where you're staying." Tom said admiring the house. I smiled proudly. "EM..ily, Brianna? TOM HIDDLESTONE!?" Sebastian asked blinking. "Oh! You're brother is Sebastian Stan! Now I remember why your family was so familiar." He said smiling. "You guys can come in. Emily." He motioned for me to come with him. Brianna and Tom went in to be met by Arthur, Kieren, and Naomi. "Tell me why those two are with you." He said crossing his arms. I sighed smiling. "I met Brianna and Tom at Starbucks." I replied smirking. He rolled his eyes and pulled me back in the house. Tom was with the kids, but Brianna was missing. "Bradley's room." Tom stated playing with Naomi. I smiled walking up the stairs towards Bradley's room. Brianna came out smiling at me and pulling me towards my room. I frowned confused. She locked door and sighed in relief. "What is it?" I asked raising a brow. "Chris Evans is the father of your children!" She exclaimed in happiness. I smiled lightly thinking all his done to me. "Hey, what's wrong?" She asked as we sat on my bean bags.
"A lot has happened since you last saw me, Brie. I... I lost my first kiss and virginity to him, but he didn't exactly take the kids in very well and he has been hurting me for the past five years now. And what's worst is that I still love him despite all his done to me." I whispered sobbing. She hugged me tightly and rubbed my back like she used to when I had my first fight with Sebastian, my first fist fight on the streets, my first heartache. She has always been there for me until she had to go back to Bulgaria for her mother. "Shhh, Emily, if you really love him... You need to let him go." She whispered hugging tighter as I hugged her tighter as well. "I-It just h-hurts, Brie-e." I whispered hearing a light knock on the door. I sniffed and we pulled away and I saw her crying as well. I smiled wiping her tears too. I sighed taking a look at the mirror to see I can't hide the swelling eyes. I walked towards the door and opened it to see Tom. "Emily... What happened?" He asked worried. I smiled shaking my head. "It's no-" I was cut off by him hugging me. I blinked my eyes as he tightened his hug. I missed someone hugging me protectively. I smiled feeling tears go down again. I clutched his polo and cried silently on his chest. He was awfully tall! Chris was smaller... Son of a bitch! Stop thinking about him! Brianna is right, I have to let him go. Tom and I fell to the floor as I leaned on his chest and he rubbed my back. Brianna gave us a moment and made sure no on interrupted us. "You don't have to tell me, but understand that I'm going to be free anytime to talk of you want to." He whispered smoothening my hair. I chuckled at how adorable that was. "Thank you, Tom." I whispered kissing his cheek. I looked up to see him covering his blush. I smiled at how adorable he was!
"Emily!" Sebastian hollered. We froze for a moment, but moved quickly. Tom went to sit at bean bag with the book I was reading. I quickly rushed into the bathroom and cleaned my face from the tears. I smiled as I looked normal. I walked to see Sebastian laughing at Tom who was blushing again. "Seb?" I asked raising a brow. "S-sorry *laugh* I couldn't help *laugh* teasing him with you! *laugh*" He replied laughing harder. "What did you do?" I asked narrowing my eyes. He smiled innocently. "I teased him about how crumpled his polo became so I teased him about it and said that you had a fierce make-out session." He teased. I had wide eyes and felt my cheeks heat up. Sebastian paused then started laughing again. "Aw, sis do you l-" I cut him off by pushing him out the door an locking it behind me. "So sorry for my asshole for a brother. He really loves te-" I cut myself off to see Tom hovering over me. "W-What are you d-doing?" I asked nervously. "I just wanted to see if what Sebastian stated was true. I have my answer." He replied smiling brightly. "Yes, actually, quite satisfied with the answer too." He replied smirking. I frowned confused. He neared my ear and breathed on my neck which made me shiver."See you around, Emily." He whispered pulling away and I felt my phone in my back pocket. I frowned taking it out to see his number punched in my contacts.
He was already halfway down the hall when I caught up to him lightly tugged on his sleeve. He stopped and turned to me as I looked down feeling embarrassed. What was I doing here!? He chuckled gently taking my hand off his sleeve and he put it around his neck. I looked up confused, but saw his face inches from me and I smiled as he inched closer pinning me on the wall. "I'm not going to make any advances on you, but I will tease you." He whispered staring into my eyes. We heard foot steps and quickly pulled away to see Brianna smirking. "Sebastian is calling Tom to go down." Brianna said smilng. She's lying. "See you around, Emily." Tom said waving and walking down the stairs. "What is it?' I asked worriedly. "He's going to tell Tom to stay away from you." She replied hugging me tightly. I sighed hugging her back. "Go get him." She whispered pushing me towards the stairs. I frowned turning back. "I'm going to go check Emily's twins! They're so adorable!" She hollered motioning for me to move. I smiled and nodded quietly running down the stairs.
"Tom, I know you like my sister, but she has been through a lot for these past years. The father of her children has been leaving them every damn time she wasn't there. I don't want her hurt so could you pl-
I know, Sebastian. I won't do anything to her... not yet. I know you don't approve me since I'm practically three years older, but I really want to try.
You don't really get it do you? I'm asking you to stay away from her. She's my little sister and I don't want seeing her hurt every damned time.
Sebastian Stan, I am not going to give up on your sister, but I won't be talking to her or making contact with her until the Avengers movie, is that alright? It's me giving both of you time to sort out your thoughts about me."
I blushed as Tom made Sebastian speechless. I'm really starting to fall for him. I love Chris, but I think I'm starting to feel for Tom. "Alright, just leave her alone for the time being." Sebastian replied walking towards the kitchen. I heard the front door open and close and took that chance to run after him cautiously as not for me to make a sound for Sebastian to hear. Tom was already halfway down the yard. I felt embarrassed, but silently walked after him and tugged on his sleeve. He turned confused. "Emily? Wha-" I know, rash move, but I pulled his collar and crashed our lips. We didn't move for a moment and I pulled away to see Tom blinking with a blush on his cheeks. I smiled pulling away and turning. "See you around, Mr. Hiddleston." I said walking towards our porch and reached the door to be turned around and met by soft lips. I blushed and smiled kissing back. He wrapped his arms around my waist as I wrapped mine around his neck. He was a much softer kisser than Chris, but that's what makes my stomach feel like butterflies are in it.
We pulled away for air and stared at each other. "Your brother is going to kill us." He whispered tucking stray hair behind my ear. I chuckled nodding. "This one will be our little secret until your deal." I whispered playing with his hair. "You eavesdropped?" He asked raising a brow. I blushed looking away. He laughed kissing my head. "You're really adorable." He whispered as we sat on the rocking chair cuddled on porch. I blushed as we kissed again. His phone stared to vibrate and we pulled away a bit to early for my liking. I know! I look like a slut right now, but I need this.
"Yeah?
Alright, I'm on my way.
Sorry, Ben.
Yeah, yeah, I know!
Bye."
He smiled keeping his phone. "I'm sorry, love, but I have to go. Tapping is starting." He whispered kissing my temple. I smiled as we stood up and he kissed me one more time before jogging down the road. I smiled bitting my lip and caressed my lips. I went in leaning on the door as I closed it. "Emily?" Brianna asked raising a brow. I smiled brightly and hugged her. "He kissed me!" I exclaimed whispering. She laughed proudly. My phone vibrated which caused us to pull away. I opened it to see Tom's name on the screen. I had wide eyes and immediately opened the text.
It was nice meeting you, Emily Stan. I'll be talking to you again when we start tapping for the Avengers. Until then, see you around, love.💗
I blushed feeling as if I'm gonna faint. "Let's get you changed. The kids are asking you to bring them to the park." Brie said pushing me towards the stairs. I laughed and did as she told me. We brought the tree to the park and they played as we watched them. "Do you really like Tom?" Brianna asked out of the blue. I chuckled waving at Naomi. "I think so, I won't be hurt anymore and I've admired him for a while now. I wonder how he's doing in the movie he's currently making." I stated watching my twins and Arthur carefully. "I see, I'm really proud of you! Having admirers that aren't only handsome and celebrities, but also your long time crushes!" She exclaimed as I saw Kieren slowly slipping from the monkey bars. I had wide eyes and quickly stood up and ran to catch him. "Mom!" He cried as I caught him just in time causing us to fall. "I got you." I whispered feeling my stomach hurt. "Emily!" Arthur yelled as he, Naomi and Brianna came running. Other kids and parents came running as well. "I'm fine, he's fine." I mumbled leaning in my arms. Kieren hugged me tightly and cried. Brianna smiled and helped me up. "Scram!" She yelled as we heard the other mothers complaining about me not being a good mother. I rolled my eyes as I dusted Kieren. He cried on my shoulder as we walked towards the car. "Mom, I'm so sorry. Mom... Mom..." He whispered crying harder. "Shhh, honey. You didn't do anything. I'm not mad at you." I whispered back as I buckled Kieren in the back seat. Naomi and Arthur sat beside him trying to comfort him. I sat by the passenger's seat when Brianna came with water. "Here, drink this." She handed me water. I smiled and mumbled a thank you. "Don't blame yourself. You didn't do anything. Those women didn't even recognize you, but if they did... Emily be careful with your children. I know I haven't been there for you like I used to, but I'm proud of you for having the balls to kiss Tom Hiddleston, have twins with Chris Evans, be best friends with John Barrowman, have amazing and beautiful children, and lastly, I am proud of you for becoming a stronger woman than I met before. Never ever blame yourself about what happens bad to the people around you." She said hugging me. I smiled and hugged her back. "I'm leaving for Bulgaria again tomorrow. I'll text or call or Skype you, alright?" She asked as we pulled away. I smiled and wiped my tears.
"Come on, I'll drive you to your hotel." I said getting in the driver's seat and drove off. Thank you for giving me a friend like you.
