I am back with some writing people!  I am super motivated to get through my current works in order to get to all your requests.  I will post a writing schedule either today or tomorrow.  

But today I have a snippet from Chapter 6 of Should because I finished the first draft!!!  It just needs some editing before being beta’d.

“You look ridiculous,” Emma sighed as she picked him up in a car she borrowed from Mary.

“Nonsense! I am going incognito.” Tom grinned as he slid into the passenger seat. Emma scrunched her nose up. “What you don’t like it?”

“If this is you going incognito, then you might as well wear fluorescent and shout into a megaphone ‘I AM TOM HIDDLESTON’.”

Tom just continued to grin as he input an address into the navigation system.

“Where are you taking me?”

“Somewhere sinful.”

“Sounds tawdry.”

Tom wiggled his eyebrows. “You know me. Just a sex-crazed actor, destroying relationships.”

As with a lot of my other weekly posts, I found this one off of @ao3commentoftheday  Thank you for the wonderful idea.  

So for today’s little bit of trivia about my fics, I will talk about my latest series and my current obsession, Should... It was originally inspired by the Closer by the Chainsmokers featuring Halsey.  It was going to be a one-shot with Tom meeting his old flame, the reader, at an awards event or party or something.  They are both get a little drunk and a one night stand happens.  The next morning, they discover one of them in a relationship and the other is engaged.  And you can guess from there.  

And it evolved in my mind to what we have now.  And chaptered fic with Emma and Tom and only person is in a relationship (although how committed that is we shall see!)

So I finally started writing Chapter 5 of Should...  Here is a snippet of the rough draft. Enjoy!

-

“I would love to.” Tom replied, his cheery mood unmistakable over the phone.

“Great. Here’s the address.” Emma recited it off and Tom wrote it down in his hurried writing.

“I will be right over.”

“Thanks.” Emma hung up the phone and took a big gulp of the wine. The swig burned her throat which helped her fight back tears.

Hello cats and kittens!  I don’t think I have done a six sentence Sunday in a bit. I have lots of things going on, but I am back. It is from the next chapter of Should...  Enjoy!  And I will be posting something fun tomorrow!!

“Then tell me what it is like. Tell why Tom Hiddleston has such a hold on you.”

Emma lifted her glass to her lips.

“We slept together.” she mumbled into the glass as she took a drink.

Corrinne’s eyes widened.

“Excuse me?! Did you say you slept with Tom “I’m carved from marble” Hiddleston?”

So I don’t have a ton of new stuff written, lots of ideas though! I will share a part of the next chapter of Should... After Chapter 3 posts, there will be 3 more chapters!  Spoiler-free sharing today!

“Is it hot in here?” she asked, shaking her shirt to create a breeze.

“Feel fine to me. Perhaps you just need something to drink.”

As if on cue, the waiter appeared.

“Bullitt Whiskey, neat. Please.” Tom ordered.

“I… I will take a seltzer with lime.” Emma responded.

What she wanted was a margarita.

Tom grimaced at Emma.

“That doesn’t sound like the girl I met five years ago. I half expected you to order one of those fishbowl margaritas.”

Emma chuckled at drinking a half a bottle of tequila as she sipped her water.

“Tequila is off limits. Makes me bloat.”

“Says who?” Tom countered, his brows knitted above his nose. Emma changed from the girl he met in New York.

“My trainer.” she snapped back. “He keeps my nutrition pretty dialed in.”

Emma hated the diet Bryce kept her on. No gluten, no dairy, no refined sugar, no alcohol, and no fun. She realized the importance to keep in shape for roles but every so often she wanted to let loose and eat a cupcake.

“That sounds dreadful.” Tom scrunched his nose up at restricting a diet.

Emma shrugged.

“It’s not bad once you get used to it.” She lied. She never got used to it.

“I can’t imagine going through life without eating a cookie once in a while.”

Emma chuckled at the memory off Tom and Cookie Monster.

“Me want cookie.” she giggled.
