Advertisement
When we finish Lunch we say our goodbyes to Tom.
"Can you not join us for the rest of our day around London" my sister asks.
" I would love to but I am afraid I have an unchangeable meeting. It was a pleasure to meet you all" Tom says.
" I will see you on Tuesday then, the royal, isn't it?" he say to me.
" Yes" I say. my family did not know about that.
He kisses my cheek. "Well goodbye" he says leaving the restaurant.
I am left blushing.
my sister's walks with me while we walk to our cars.
" He totally likes you and he's hot. You should totally go for it". she says to me.
" Do you really think he likes me?" I ask her.
"Yes, I could see the way he kept looking at you".
"No, your talking nonsense he could never like someone like me" I tell her.
"He would be lucky to have you little sis, your beautiful and smart". she says to me.
"Thank you but he's not really my type, I like to stay away from big film stars". I say.
" you keep telling yourself that" She smirks.
----
"Follow me, it isn't long from here" I say getting into my car.
before long we are at my house.
It is a small bungalow, two bedrooms each with their own bathroom, a Large Living room and a Large Kitchen.
"What a lovely place you have" my sister says after looking around every room.
"Thanks, I like it" I say.
" And its tidy. I was quite surprised you were always a messy child" my mother says.
"Well I am not a child anymore" I say.
" Well do you have any beer?" my father asks.
" You bet" I grin at him.
I go to the kitchen and get my dad a beer.
" Well make yourselves at my home, I just need to check my phone" I say disappearing into the kitchen.
I turn on my phone to find one message from Tom;
It was great to see you and your family today, your some lady. I look forward to Tuesday. I can tell we will be great friends. Tom x.
I smile at his text. I begin to Write my reply;
Tom, thank you for bearing my peculiar family. it was nice to see you too. Filming is going going to be great fun.
I press send and then go back to the living room.
"So how is he?" my sister asks.
"Who?" I ask her.
"Tom, I guess that's what you were doing on your phone texting him" she smirks.
"No, I was just texting my boss actually" I lie.
"Yeah yeah"
"Well we better be heading back. you've seen my house, I don't think there is anything else left of my life for you guys to see". I suggest.

" Yes probably better" my father says.
The drive back seems like twice as long as usual and to be honest I am really tired.
When I get in I tell them all I just want to go to sleep.
"No!, you can't " my sister says quickly.
"Why not?" I ask.
"Because....it's a surprise, Jim is going to the supermarket for his vodka, why don't you join him?".
"Ugh...do I have too".
"Yes, don't moan" she says.
"Come on Sar, you haven't let me ride in our car yet" Jeff says.
"Fine" I sigh.
"Great let's go" he says practically dragging me out the door.
As we are driving I start asking Jeff questions.
"Jeff, you better tell me what's going on?" I say to him.
"Its one of your sister's ideas, she would kill me if I told you" he shrugs.
"Oh come on, you have known me for years, I hate surprises. just tell me I won't let her know I know" I say.
"I can't".
"Oh well then we can't go home" I say.
"But we need to" he says.
"But why?"I ask.
".Your sister will kill me I can't".
"Well you go home but I ain't" I say to him.
He sighs. "I have no choice do I ?".
"nope" I say.
"We are holding a party as part of the reunion".
"and?, there must be more than that if I am not aloud to be told".
" and it is invite only and Sarah has invited Jim".
"She did what!, oh no" I say shaking my head.
"That isn't just it is it?"I say by the look of his face.
"No,she also got Tom's mobile number off your phone and invited him".
"I- I am going to kill her!" I say.
"She is only thinking of you. She wants to find you a nice man" he smirks.
"Please tell me they both can't make it" I ask desperately.
"Actually, they both can" he says.
I sigh.
When we get back to the house,I can't help but say something of my sister.
"Are you crazy!" I say it her.
"What do you mean?" she asks.
Inviting Jim and Tom to your silly Party" I say annoyed.
"Jeffrey!, you told her" she says to him.
he holds up his hands. "I had no choice, she wouldn't let us come back until I told her".
"you silly man, your too soft" she says shaking her head.
"Well I won't be coming down to this party" I say.
"Oh but you must, this is all for you" my sister moans.
I sigh. "Fine but I will stay for an hour max".
"Yay!, this is going to be great!".
"Are you sure your the older sister" I laugh.
" I may be older than you but I am not old, 28 is not old" she,says

"That's denial"I smirk.
"Oh away with you, I laid out a dress for you go put it on" she says.
my sister's taste is not the same as mine so this should be interesting.
I walk in to find a bright red mini dress that goes to about my thighs. Really not my thing but at least it gas long sleeves.
I put it on and I have to say it looks amazing on me.
I go back downstairs and my sister gasps.
"You look amazing I knew it would suit you" she smiles.
" Do you need my help with anything?" I ask.
"Oh no, you go into the main room our star guest is already here" She winks.
I know she means Tom.
"If I did not feel so great I would kill you" I say to her.
I walk into the main room and see Tom standing.
He turns round and his eyes brighten.
"You look Beautiful" he says.
"Thank you, I hope my sister hasn't pressured you into coming tonight." I say to him.
"On the contrary, I was thrilled that She asked me. It has been so long since I had been to a party which was not an after film party or an awards one." he smiles.
"Well my families parties never end very well".
"And why's that?" he grins.
Before I can answer someone else walks into the room.
"Long time no see Sar" they say from Behind me.
"Jim" I say turning around.
"How are you Sarah" he says hugging me.
"Good, in fact really good. I don't suppose you have met To hiddleston before?" I ask getting away from his grip and introducing him.
" Gosh, the film star, whatever is he doing here" he asks me.
"I am a friend and now work colleague of Sarah's" Tom says.
Jim turns to Tom. "Ah well nice to meet you" he says with a firm handshake but know smile.
"And you Tom replies".
"Tom is going to be in my new show" I tell Jim.
" Ah, what is it called? he asks.
" Behind the cameras where where we look at his life when..
"Yes yes that is all too interesting,is the toilet still in the same place". he interrupts me.
"Yes".
"Great, one sec". he says walking away
" God, I hate him!" I say when he is out of our distance.
"He was incredibly rude, why does someone as nice as you know him?" Tom smiles.
"He is my first boyfriend".
Tom's face drops. " Do you Still like him?".
"Oh no!, like I said I can't stand the guy". I say.
His face goes back to its normal kind smile.
I decided to stay a lot longer Tom is so kind and has so much too talk about like all his films, how he started and some of his fun with Chris Hemsworth.
I have never laughed so much in my life.
I don't think I left Tom's side at all that night and he did not seem to want to leave mine. He would reject all the people who asked to dance with him and he would be back talking to me within 2 minutes.
It was such a good night. I could see my sister watching me but that didn't bother me. More and more people began to leave before it was just me the family and Tom. Jim didn't stick around for long I guess he got bored but I am glad, I hate him.
"Tom, you must have been drinking how about you stay over the night, Sarah can drive you home tomorrow when she leaves and besides we have a spare room" My sister suggests.
" If I won't be a burden, that would be helpful" he smiles to her.
I can tell she did this on purpose.
"Tom, how about a cup of coffee?" I suggest.
"that would be lovely" he says following me into the kitchen.
Ok make us both a strong cup of coffee and we sit down at the kitchen table.
"So this is your family?" he says.
"Yes, aren't they mad" I laugh.
" Mad families are usually the best kind. You have two sibling, like me?" he asks.
"Yes, well I did have three, a twin in fact but...She died In a car crash when we were 17". I tell him.
" Oh I am very sorry" he says looking sad.
"It was all might fault" I say sadly.
" now darling, how could it have been your fault". He says holding my hand.
" I was the driver, we lost control on some ice. I couldn't stop the car. we collided with another car. I was in hospital for a week and when I woke up she was already gone" I cry.
" It not your fault, you did not put the ice their my darling. it was an accident". He says hugging me.
After the hug we pull away slowly. we look into each others face and before long our lips touch. it feels great, I can feel butterflies in my stomach.
But before long we are interrupted by my sister.
"I knew it!" she says.
We pull away quickly.
I glare at my sister.
" I won't say another word" she laughs as she walk out the room.
"I am sorry-I-I don't know what came over me" I say to him.
"No don't be, I liked it" he smiles getting up and leaving the room.
What did I just start......

Sturmblitz Kunst: Becoming a Dissident for Martial Arts
"I don't care what you read in some old, dusty tome. You can spend decades chasing an outmoded cultivation method that'll probably lead to a faux-breakthrough trap from the Emperor that turns you into a walking impurity tumor, or you can give me a couple months and I'll teach you how to punch through someone's head." - Zelsys "Sevenfold Storm-conqueror" Newman, Founder of the Newman Family The world at large has just begun its recovery from the nigh-apocalyptic War of Fog. Catastrophic environmental damage and gaping power vacuums stir the cogs of history into motion in the absence of open war, eternally greased by the blood and sweat of ambition. A small duchy in the North of the country now stands at the precipice of upheaval as the burgeoning powers of the new era clash within its borders... Meanwhile, as the survivor of a now-extinct cultivator family struggles for survival in a world that cares not about his social status, the very embodiment of his escapist coping mechanisms forces him to pursue the fantasies of self-determination he had never dared act upon.

The Tower Must Fall - Combat Gardener
If you're interested in a conceptual, ground-up rewrite leave a comment and tell me what you loved about it. I've got a pretty good idea of what everyone hated so there's no need for expounding on that. Gardener? A support class? This can't be! What was all my hard work for? Forget this world. Forget the System. Even if I'm a lowly support class, I'll take on the Tower and take them all down! Since the System appeared one hundred years ago, humanity has been divided into three: combat classes, intellectual classes, and support classes. Assigned at the moment of high school graduation, one's class determines their future. Rowan wanted the most out of life. A combat class, an intellectual class, either would be fine. When he is instead assigned a support class, Gardener, he notices the System is completely rigged against support classes. Refusing to give up on his dream of realizing his future by his own terms, Rowan challenges the Tower, the seat of the System and home of the Hero-King, in hopes of bringing the entire System to its knees. Season One complete. Permanent Hiatus, Pending Rewrite. Important notes: -LitRPG fantasy -Rowan is not perfect. He's got flaws, emotions, and personal issues to work through. If you want a perfect, overpowered MC who makes the right decision every time, this is NOT the work for you. -This story opens with a negative situation and an emotional growth arc for the main character. Please don't review until chapter 30 because the arc is not complete until that chapter. (Chapters are short, that's an average RR book's chapter 10) -No harem, no rape, no isekai, no romance -Questions? Please ask!

Whispers of Long Lost Voices
When all hope is gone, the crew of Hestia’s Hearth will make their own.What You Can Expect: * A Dark Yet Hopeful Universe* Kick Ass Found Families* Hero Moms* Dancers, Musicians and Space Shanties * Disabled MCs* Space Nazis Getting Punched in the Face (Sometimes Literally) * Folks who actually deal with trauma and griefThe Known Universe has been at peace for almost 100 years, but for most of Brenn’s life, trapped on an Earth controlled by the genetically superior Aesir Empire, it hasn’t felt like it. The Aesir took her peace, they took her parents, and then they took her wife. Three years after her wife’s murder, she’s found a new life light years away from Earth. A happy one, most days, with a best friend and captain who understands her, and a shared mission to undo some of the damage the Aesir have done to the Universe and offer relief to anyone who needs it. But the past has a way of rising again. A surprise rescue mission brings Brenn face to face with her wife; delirious, ill, and scarred from the bullets Brenn thought had killed her, but very much alive with a newborn at her breast. A newborn whose very existence could mean intergalactic war. Now Brenn must balance her wife’s delicate mental health, new motherhood, and her own complicated feelings while working with her Captain and their odd bunch of friends and allies to protect her tiny family from a small, but influential group within the Aesir government who will stop at nothing to take back Brenn’s wife and child. All the while, there are whispers of a greater and more ancient power coming to life. A power Brenn’s wife knows more about than she wants to let on. It’s a good thing Brenn is used to fighting. CW: Contains mildly graphic scenes of violence/death, topics of unwanted pregnancy/abortion, scientific experimentation on sapient beings, depression/suicide, grief, and trauma. The tone of this fiction is often dark and distinctly dystopian in lighter shades of Margaret Atwood, though where there is darkness there is always hope and light. On Hiatus Until September When the School Year Begins and Mom This story takes a considerable amount of time and mental energy to complete. I thought I had enough backlog and time to post it as a serial while COVID kept my child home from school, but it turns out while I can quickly write other pieces, I cannot produce the quality I need with this one at an acceptable rate. We'll resume in September when my days are much freer. Thank you for your patience and stay tuned for a different storytelling romp more suited for a serial platform in the meantime.
