Chapter 1
Y/N’s P.O.V
“No! No. No. No” I said into the phone walking down the stairs, juggling folders, and my shoes which I still hadn’t had a chance to put on yet. “Jackson. No. You have been telling me for two weeks now, that the article is almost done.” I sighed “Jackson, listen” I groaned this man is being a pain in the ass and it’s much too early for this shit. I walked into the kitchen and saw Tom getting breakfast ready for him, and Suri. When he saw me, he gave me a bright smile.
“Morning” He said
“No. No. I’m tired of this, Jackson I need to have a rough draft of that article by noon today, or you will lose the right to print it at all.” I listened as he tried to babble some threat back to me “Jackson, the article was supposed to be printed a week after the interview, which was 2 months ago”
“Coffee?” Tom asked, I gave him a kiss on the cheek as a thank you, and grabbed the cup walking around the kitchen
“Jackson, I’m done with your excuses noon today, or I will have the whole interview retracted and we will take it to literally any other magazine” I said and hung up the phone. I threw my phone on the counter and let out a groan
“Wow, He must of made you really mad Y/N” Suri said in an adorable voice and I giggled
“Don’t worry I’m not mad Suri”
“Nope, I’ve known Y/N for over 20 years… she’s not mad, you’ll know when she’s mad” Tom said with a chuckle, I threw a towel at him which he easily dodged and went back to making breakfast
“Ready for school?” I asked her, as I took another sip of my coffee
“Yup, I got to take lots, and lots of notes today there’s a math test on Friday and today is the test review”
“You’ll do great sweetheart” Tom said, he placed some eggs on her plate, and kissed the top of her head.
“Y/N?” she asked
“Yes?” I asked with a smile
“Will, you help me study for my test tonight” she said with a pouty face, that was very difficult to say no to.
“Sweetheart I would love to, but I have something to do tonight…” I looked at Tom and I didn’t miss the confusion that crossed his face before he went back to making breakfast for himself.
“Please, please… just a few minutes… you always help me study”
“Ok, fine… but only for a little while” she gave me a hug
“Thank you, thank you” she jumped up and started to run for the door
“Sweetie sit down, you haven’t finished breakfast”
“Dad I’m going to miss the bus” she said
“I was hoping I could take you to school today” he said
“Dad” she gave him a look, and I couldn’t help but giggle. She is only 8 years old, but she is a sassy girl… can’t even imagine what’s she’s going to be like as a teenager.
“Ok, I surrender go on” he said, she ran over and gave him a hug before running out the door. He turned back to the stove grabbed the pan and put some eggs on his plate. “I would offer you some, but I know how you hate eating breakfast” I rolled my eyes
“Someone is grumpy this morning” I said
“I just don’t like the idea of her riding the bus” he said
“Tom…”
“She’s only 8”
“Tom, she’s going to be ok. I know you have security following that bus”
“What?” he asked
“Tom, when are you going to learn I know all” I said with a smirk “I have access to your email, texts, phone calls, bank accounts… I see who you call, email, text, and pay… hell I know your social security number… could have stolen your identity years ago, and be living alone on an island” he rolled his eyes
“Very funny, you would miss me” he said
“No, you would miss me, you might be the extraordinary, bad ass actor/stunt man… but you wouldn’t be able to function day to day without me”
“Please” he said with a scoff
“Ok, what’s your social security number?” I asked with a smirk, he glared at me “I’ll try one easier what’s your phone number?” I continued to smirk as I took a sip of my coffee
“Ok, fine you win… jeez you are on a rampage this morning”
“Ok, save the dramatics for the screen Mr. Reacher” I said with a smile.
“That’s Jack Reacher” he said
“Ok, Jack Reacher get ready to go to work”
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I am sitting in Tom’s chair staring at my lap top going through email after email, making appointments, and working my way through Tom’s schedule when my phone dinged
Can’t wait to see you tonight.
I smiled when I read the message from David. I’ve been seeing David in secret for a few months now… and when I say secret I mean secret to Tom. I know if I told him I was seeing someone he will go into all protective mode. It always annoys the shit out of me.
“What’s got you smiling?” he asked, I looked up I didn’t even realize they cut
“Oh, this pathetic excuse of an article Jackson sent me” I said giggling
“So what are we doing tonight?”
“Huh?” I asked
“You said you couldn’t help Suri tonight because we had plans, I didn’t realize we did”
“No… I said I had plans”
“You have plans?” he asked
“Yeah, isn’t that strange? I have a life outside of you”
“So what are Your plans?” he asked
“My plans are none of your business” I said, he smirked
“I’ll figure out your plans”
“What?”
“By refusing to tell me, you have given me a challenge… I’ll figure it out”
“You’re an idiot, go back to set” he kissed my cheek
“I’ll figure it out” he said walking off, I bit my lip and gently touched where he kissed me… even though we kissed each other on the cheek very often it always made me want to blush whenever he kissed mine. I walked closer to the set, and watched Tom. He is an incredible actor, and no matter how hard I try I can’t help but fall in love with him over and over again. It might sound strange but I have loved him since I was 17, the moment I locked eyes with him… I was done for
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
20 years ago
I am sitting reading my book for English class, as always I am drawn in by the beautiful literature before me. Shakespeare is my favorite author… so far, I know as I get older I will be exposed to more and more authors that are equally as good… maybe even better.
I am currently sitting outside on the bleachers away from everyone, not one you would call popular. I keep to myself that’s how I like it, since I live in a time where liking to read is known as a loser thing to do, I just accepted that fate and stay away from everyone.
“Excuse me” I looked up and locked eyes with Tom Cruise… he’s one of the popular boys in school. I looked around trying to figure out who he was talking to. This gorgeous man can’t be talking to the weirdo who likes to read, and wears glasses.
“Me?” I asked, and he chuckled
“Yeah, I mean there’s no one else here” he said, and I blushed “Y/N, right?” he asked
“Yeah… um that’s my name” I said hesitantly
“Well, we’re in the same English class, and I forgot to write down the assignment I was hoping you could tell me what it is”
“Oh, sure. One second” I put the book down, and reached for my bag to pull out my binder
“Romeo and Juliet?” he asked “Didn’t we read this one already?” he asked
“Um yeah… but the assignment is to pick one of the Shakespeare plays and write about it, and as clique as it is, this is my favorite… I think I’ve read it 10 times” I said, I blushed and reached for my binder again and he chuckled. Great now he’s going to start making fun of me.
“But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the sun! Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou her maid art far more fair than she.” I looked at him expecting him to be looking at the book but to my surprise we was looking at me
“You know Romeo and Juliet?” I asked
“Yeah, we already read it” he said with a chuckle
“But you know it by memory” I said, he just smirked
“I may have read it a few times myself”
“You like to read?” I asked
“Why do you seem so shocked?” he asked confused
“Well… I mean… um… I’m just going to let you copy the assignment and not say anything else” I said
“Is it because I’m popular?” I shrugged my shoulders
“Well, yeah”
“Eh, it’s not all its cracked up to be… I’m not really sure how I got wrapped up with them. We really don’t have much in common”
“Well, you dating the cheer captain probably has something to do with it… and the fact you are ridiculously good looking”
“Really?” he said smirking
“Did I say that out loud?” I said, and he just kept smirking “Well, now that I just made a complete fool out of myself, I’m going to leave…” I ripped out the paper in my notebook with the assignment. “Take it, I don’t need it”
“Hey, hey… you don’t have to leave… I’m sorry for embarrassing you. It’s ok, many people tell me I’m good looking”
“Now you’re just being arrogant” I said
“Well, I think you’re very beautiful” he said, and I’m sure my heart stopped “I think your glasses are adorable, and your hair is really pretty” suddenly I got angry, this is got to be a joke. One of the popular guys coming over here to complement me?
“You’re just here to make fun of me aren’t you?” I stood up, to walk away but he grabbed my hand
“I’m not making fun of you” he said, but I couldn’t ignore the feeling running through my body as he held onto my hand “I’m not lying, I’m not an asshole”
“Why?” he laughed
“Why, do I think you’re pretty?”
“Why, are you here talking to me? I’m a nobody”
“Everybody is somebody… social status means nothing… and I like you, you seem really nice. You never give me the chance to talk to you, you always run out of class before I can reach you”
“I don’t understand why you want to get to know me”
“Because you don’t care about me”
“What?”
“You are the only person in the school who doesn’t run to my side and want to talk to me”
“So you’re making it your mission to talk to me?”
“Not a mission… I just want to talk to someone who likes things other than popularity” I looked at him confused “I like school, I love reading, history, and drama. I love it all. I want to talk to someone who also like learning things, my favorite thing to do it learn new things” I opened my mouth to speak, when Jessica appeared
“Tom” she said in her annoying voice “Tom, why are you here, you’re supposed to walk me to practice” she said
“I was just talking to Y/N… we were talking about Romeo and Juliet” she looked at me with disgust
“You sit with my boyfriend for 2 minutes, and you already infected him with your nerdiness” she said with disgust “Tom, let’s go before she turns you into a complete nerd” she said giggling
“Hey, don’t talk to her like that”
“What?” she asked him
“You can’t talk to her like that”
“Why not? She’s a loser”
“No, she’s a person like everyone else… and no one deserves to be spoken to like that”
“Tom, let’s go”
“No, I’m going to stay here and talk to my friend, you can take yourself to cheer practice”
“Tom, if you don’t walk me to cheer practice then we are done” she said
“Ok, fine” he said standing up, I sighed he was doing so well then she threatened him with a break up and he followed her. I watched as she leaned in to kiss him, but he stepped back. “Ok, fine I’m breaking up with you.”
“You’re breaking up with me, because of this loser?” she asked
“No, I’m breaking up with you, because I’m tired of you being so controlling, being a bitch to everyone… oh, you having sex with the quarter back in the locker room”
“That only happened one time” she said, wow she wasn’t even going to deny it
“I know for a fact it happened 4 times” she looked shocked “So, goodbye” he said
“You’re going to regret this Tom, no one breaks up with me” she stormed off, and he walked back over to me and sat down.
“Are you ok?” I asked
“Yeah, I honestly feel free” he said with a smile
“So, what do you say… you wanna be my friend? I know for a fact she’s going to turn the whole school against me… I need someone on my side” he said with a chuckle. I smiled
“Sure”
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I looked at myself in the mirror, putting the finishing touches on my makeup getting ready for my date.
“So I guess you going to the spa is not your plans for the night” I jumped
“Tom, you can’t just walk in here” I said
“It’s my house” he said
“Yeah, but this is my room. Which I pay you rent for” he rolled his eyes
“Please, that money you give me every month goes into your next paycheck… I would never let you pay me to live here” I groaned
“What, do you want?”
“Where are you going?” he asked, I pushed past him and went downstairs to get my purse
“Tom, you don’t need to know everything I do” I said as he followed behind me
“I don’t need to know, but as your best friend I want to know” I sighed he is never going to give this up
“I’m going on a date” he gave me a blank stare, after a few seconds he finally said “anyone I know?”
“No.”
“How, did you meet?”
“Through a friend” I said
“What’s his name?”
“David”
“David…”
“You don’t get his last name, because I know you’re going to do a back ground check and tell me all the reasons I can’t date him” he looked shocked
“No, I…”
“Tom, you’ve done that for every guy I have ever dated. Trust me, we’ve been seeing each other for a few months… he’s a nice guy” I said with a smile
“I just worry about you, You and Suri are the most important people in my life. If anything happened to you…”
“Tom, I’m going to be fine… now go help Suri study. I’ll see you later” I said walking out the door.
“Wait” I turned around
“He’s um… he’s a lucky guy, you look beautiful” he said. I walked over and kissed his cheek
“Thank you for not being over bearing about this” I said
“Go have fun” he said with a fake smile. as I reached the door, I heard “Just be careful, and be sure he treats you with the respect you deserve”
“I will” I turned around to look at him, but he was already headed up the stairs. David a really nice guy, and I really like him… but why am I so heart broken? When will I stop loving Tom?
So what did you think?
Next Chapter will talk more about Tom’s upcoming divorce.

Claire Headley, ex-top scientology executive and member of the Religious Technology Center (David Miscavage's personal organization) on Top Gun and Tom Cruise:
Transcript: "Glad all you Top Gun fans are enjoying the new movie.
Personally, recent posts about this new movie only serve to remind me of Tom Cruise and his crimes against humanity.
Extreme, you may think?
Destroying families is a crime against humanity. My opinion.
Ask yourself: When is the last time Tom talked to his biological daughter, Suri?
Remember Katie Holmes and her extreme efforts to break free of his and Scientology's control?
Tom Cruise promotes a dangerous cult that destroyed my family too, the same cult that almost cost me my marriage and my life. The same cult that forced me to have two abortions, and which I fled from in 2005 with the clothes on my back and $200 in my pocket, to which they tracked me down, across state lines, to attempt to prevent my escape. Thank God they failed.
So no, I will not watch the movie, nor will I ever support or approve of this scam of a man. Trust me, Tom Cruise knows exactly who he is supporting and the abuses that organization perpetrates. I worked with him while I was there.
No doubt my post will likely "disappear" with Facebook algorithms, I feel better saying it nonetheless. And thank you to my friends who understand. You know who you are."
If anyone is interested on hearing more about Claire and her husband Marc's stories, Marc wrote a book about their experiences called Blown For Good, which you can buy on the book's website.

‘Hey, they're going to be papped at some point anyways. Might as well sell the pics and story to People magazine and earn money off of it. It can go into their college fund'.
You’re saying this about millionaires and billionaires btw. They don’t need more money for a college fund that they might not even use. That’s just greed.
I'm not so sure it's just greed. As you say these people are already set for life money wise. It may be a part of it, but i think it's more narcissism and wanting to be portrayed as a perfect family. It's image rehabilitation for many celebrities. I'm thinking of Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise's baby and name reveal in People magazine. And all these here:
#this discussion have veered off a bit#HL don't have kids yet and we have no idea what they will or won't do#if they end up doing something you don’t like you are free to think so snd you are valid#it's not black and white (that's not the way i see it anyways)#louis image#harry image

Tom Cruise and Daughter 'Suri' Reportedly Have No Relationship Outside of Financial Support
“Suri does not know her father anymore and she has not spent time with him in a decade,” an insider claimed. “She does not go to see his movies and he has no part in her life.”
It feels like yesterday that we saw Suri as a little girl around New York City with her mom, Katie Holmes. Now, the almost-17-year-old is starting to fill out college applications.

Alone Together
#365Movies
Movie: Alone Together (2022)
Starring: Katie Holmes, Jim Sturgess
Genre: Romance, Drama
Movie Synopsis 🎬
A New York lockdown lovestory.
Strangers June (Katie Holmes) and Charlie (Jim Sturgess) have to learn to coexist when they accidentally book the same Airbnb to get away from the pandemic. Alone Together is the ultimate New York lockdown love story.
This charming film was not only directed by Katie Holmes, but she also wrote the screenplay!
The plot is simple and the story is sweet. It's a very authentic look at life in New York during lockdown. I appreciate the way Katie kept the film focused on the dialogue and the dynamics of finding yourself in an awkward situation.
Although this film lacks music or any type of soundtrack, the chemistry of the two leads played by Katie Holmes (Dawson's Creek) and Jim Strugess (21) makes up for it.
Katie does sing in this movie, which is lovely and her daughter Suri performs the song Blue Moon which features in the opening credits of the movie.
I can predict critics will say this movie is slow, however I actually enjoyed this change of pace and it suited the situation and reminded me what life felt liked during the pandemic. And I enjoyed watching Katie's character develop and change as the film progressed.
I really love this little film. It was charming and sweet, including all the elements needed for a nice romantic movie that I know I will watch over and over again. And the film fits into my favourite movie genre — romantic comedies set in New York. (Although this film is definitely more of a romance drama)
If you loved Katie as Joey Potter, you will enjoy Alone Together.
Bravo Katie Holmes! Thank you for creating a truly beautiful film. Thank you for making a romantic comedy.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars

Tom Cruise's Dating Chronicles: From Hollywood Romances to Secret Trysts!
Tom Cruise: a name that has been synonymous with Hollywood for decades. Known for his blockbuster movies and captivating performances, Cruise has also been in the spotlight for his eventful personal life. From highly publicized marriages to secret trysts, his dating chronicles have always fascinated both his fans and the media. In this article, we delve into Tom Cruise's romantic journey, exploring his early romances, the Katie Holmes era, post-Holmes relationships, his connections with Mission: Impossible co-stars, and the complexities of his private life.
Introduction
Tom Cruise, born on July 3, 1962, in Syracuse, New York, is considered one of the most successful actors in the history of cinema. With a career spanning several decades, Cruise has become an iconic figure in the industry. However, alongside his professional achievements, his love life has been a subject of immense interest.
Tom Cruise: A Hollywood Icon
Before delving into Cruise's dating chronicles, it's important to acknowledge his status as a Hollywood icon. From his breakthrough role in "Risky Business" to the unforgettable "Top Gun" and the high-octane "Mission: Impossible" series, Cruise has consistently delivered box office hits. His charming persona and intense dedication to his craft have garnered him a massive fan base around the globe.
The Early Romances
As Cruise's star began to rise, so did the attention on his personal life. In the 1980s, he embarked on a relationship with fellow actress Mimi Rogers. The couple tied the knot in 1987, but their marriage lasted only three years. Despite the brevity of their union, Rogers played a crucial role in Cruise's life, introducing him to the Church of Scientology.
Shortly after divorcing Rogers, Cruise became involved with Spanish actress Penelope Cruz while filming "Vanilla Sky." Their romance captured the media's attention, but it too fizzled out after a few years.
The Katie Holmes Era
One of the most significant chapters in Cruise's dating chronicles was his relationship with actress Katie Holmes. The pair began dating in 2005, and their courtship quickly became the center of media attention. Cruise's extravagant declaration of love on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" only heightened the public fascination.
In 2006, Cruise and Holmes welcomed their daughter, Suri Cruise, into the world. However, the couple's relationship was not without controversy. Cruise's affiliation with the Church of Scientology, known for its secrecy and unconventional practices, raised eyebrows and fueled speculation about the influence of the organization on their relationship.
Post-Katie Holmes Relationships
After the highly publicized end of his relationship with Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise ventured into new romantic territories. Let's explore some of the noteworthy relationships that followed:
The Cynthia Jorge Flirtation: In 2013, rumors began to circulate about Cruise's involvement with Cynthia Jorge, a New York City restaurant manager. The pair was spotted together on several occasions, sparking speculation about a potential romance. However, their connection seemed to fizzle out as quickly as it had begun, leaving fans wondering about the true nature of their relationship.
The Olivia Attwood Encounter: In 2019, reports emerged of Cruise's brief encounter with reality TV star Olivia Attwood. The two crossed paths at a private event and were seen engaging in friendly conversation. While the encounter did not result in a full-fledged relationship, it fueled speculation about Cruise's love life and his interactions with women in the industry.
The Mission: Impossible Co-stars
Throughout his career, Cruise has worked closely with numerous talented actresses, leading to speculation about romantic connections. Let's take a closer look at some of the Mission: Impossible co-stars who have been linked to Cruise:
Nicole Kidman: Tom Cruise's marriage to actress Nicole Kidman was a highly publicized union. The couple met while filming the movie "Days of Thunder" in 1989 and married later that year. Their relationship, both on and off-screen, captivated the public's attention. However, after eleven years of marriage, Cruise and Kidman divorced in 2001. Despite the end of their romantic partnership, they remain respected colleagues in the entertainment industry.
Rebecca Ferguson: Cruise's on-screen chemistry with Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson in the "Mission: Impossible" films sparked rumors of a real-life romance. The two actors have consistently shared a strong bond while portraying their characters, leading fans to speculate about a potential off-screen relationship. However, both Cruise and Ferguson have maintained that their connection is purely professional.
Hayley Atwell: In recent years, Cruise has been working closely with British actress Hayley Atwell on the set of "Mission: Impossible 7" and "Mission: Impossible 8." Their on-screen partnership has garnered attention, and rumors have circulated about a possible romantic involvement. However, as with previous co-stars, Cruise and Atwell have remained tight-lipped about the nature of their relationship.
Tom Cruise's Private Life
The intense scrutiny surrounding Cruise's dating life brings to light the challenges of maintaining personal relationships in the public eye. The combination of fame, paparazzi, and invasive media coverage can put a strain on even the strongest connections. For Cruise, preserving his privacy has become a crucial aspect of his personal life.
The actor has often emphasized the importance of separating his public persona from his private life. He values his personal space and guards his relationships against excessive intrusion. While the curiosity surrounding his romantic endeavors persists, Cruise remains steadfast in his commitment to protecting his personal boundaries.
Conclusion
Tom Cruise's dating chronicles showcase the intricacies of love and relationships in the context of fame and Hollywood stardom. From his early romances to the highly publicized Katie Holmes era and subsequent relationships, Cruise's personal life has been a subject of fascination. Despite the challenges of maintaining privacy, he continues to captivate audiences with his remarkable talent and dedication to his craft.
As Tom Cruise's journey unfolds, it's important to remember that behind the glitz and glamour lies a man seeking genuine connections while navigating the complexities of fame and the demands of an illustrious career.

I Wouldn’t Be Complete Without You 3
This time for Tom’s P.O.V
Read Chapter 4 HERE
I Wouldn’t Be Complete Without You One-Shot Masterlist HERE
Chapter 3
Tom’s P.O.V
It’s been two days since Y/N left. I’ve sent her a couple of messages with no response, I called her and as expected she didn’t answer it went straight to voicemail where I left an apology, but I doubt she will listen to it. I’ve never cried this much in my life, Y/N walking out has broken my heart in a way I never thought possible.
I have no one to blame but myself, I let my ego, and jealousy blind me. I knew better than to invade her privacy like that. That line I pulled about trying to protect her from the heartbreak… was such bullshit. I may have lost my best friend and the love of my life because, I was being a jealous idiot.
“Daddy?” my head snapped up to Suri standing in the doorway of my office
“Hey, sweetheart. How was school?” I asked
“Why are you sad?” she asked, my face changed
“Come here angel” I said, she walked over and climbed on my lap
“I don’t like seeing you sad” she said
“I’m ok” she gave me a yeah right look. She really is a sassy thing, she learned it from Y/N “Ok, I am a little sad”
“Is it because Y/N isn’t here?”
“Yeah, sweetie” I said pushing her hair out of her face
“When is she coming back?” she asked
“I don’t know if she is coming back” I saw confusion in her face
“Ever?” she asked
“I don’t think so sweet heart”
“Why?” I sighed
“Because, daddy was a jerk”
“What’s that mean?”
“It means I hurt her feelings”
“Why did you do that?”
“Well sweetie… I didn’t mean to hurt her… but I did something that I can’t undo… and I don’t know if she will ever forgive me”
“Why?” I chuckled
“Wow you’re just full of questions, huh?” I looked down at her “Sweetheart, I know you want to know… but this is an adult situation and you’re not old enough to hear it”
“When will I be old enough?” I made a face like I was thinking and then jokingly said
“When you’re 100 years old”
“What? That’s not fair… that’s like forever” I chuckled
“That’s the deal” I said with a smirk
“I want Y/N to come back”
“Me too honey” I said
“Do you love Y/N, like you loved mommy?” I looked at her
“Honey, let’s get something straight. I will always love mommy, ok? Your mommy will always have a very special place in my heart, because without her you wouldn’t be here, and you are my angel.” She looked confused
“Then why don’t you want to be together anymore?” I sigh damn shes really coming in with the hard questions
“Mommy and I weren’t happy. We love each other, but we weren’t in love anymore… does that make any sense?” she shook her head no “You want mommy and daddy to be happy right?”
“Yeah!”
“Well in order for that to happen, we needed to be apart. We weren’t meant to be” I said
“I think you love Y/N” she said
“I do sweetheart” I mumbled
“Took you long enough to admit it” I looked up to see Katie standing in the doorway of my office
“Katie?”
“Hey mommy”
“Suri sweetie, can you let me talk to daddy for a minute?” she nodded and ran off “I still have the key, I’m sorry for just letting myself in” she handed it to me
“No, um keep it. In case you ever need to get in, you know if I’m not here and Suri needs something” she nodded and put it in her purse “Is Y/N with you?” I asked
“Yeah, she’s been crying for two days straight. Won’t leave the guest room. She won’t tell me what happened”
“I was a jerk is what happened, I let my jealousy get in the way… and in a moment of anger I told her I loved her… I kissed her, and then told her we can’t be together”
“Wow, I wondered how long it was going to take you to tell her you love her” I looked at her shocked
“You knew?” I asked confused, she laughed
“How could I not? Tom, she is the woman of your dreams… literally, there were times you said her name in your sleep”
“Then why don’t you hate me… and how are you still friends with her? I mean that seems weird for my wife to know I’m in love with my assistant/best friend… and is still friends with her… that seems like a lifetime movie waiting to happen” she laughed
“I was upset a first when It really clicked, I knew from the moment I saw you two interact with each other there was a special bond there, but through the years you notice things. It clicked when I set her up with that producer? You remember him?” I sighed and nodded “You stayed up all night waiting for her to come home, and when he broke her heart what did you do?”
“I fired him, and made sure he couldn’t get another job in Hollywood” I mumbled
“And…”
“And I broke his nose”
“That’s beyond friendship protection… that’s when I knew”
“Why didn’t you say anything?
“Because you and I weren’t in love” she said and I looked shocked
“What do you mean? Of course I…”
“Tom, I know you love me, I’ll always love you too… but we were never in love we got married because I got pregnant. It’s the unspoken truth. That’s why I wanted a divorce. I never hated you, and I don’t hate you now… but I stayed with you for Suri. We were so unhappy… and I hoped that if we divorced you would finally get over yourself and tell Y/N how you feel… so you would be happy. So she would be happy”
“I’m sorry” her face softened
“Never be sorry for being In love” she said
“I’ve always loved her” Katie smiled
“I know. I think you should tell her”
“I did… you know what happened”
“Why do you think you can’t be together?” she asked
“She deserves better than me” I said with no hesitation
“Tom, when you’re in love… there is no better than. Your heart tells you what you want. Listen to your heart. What does it say?”
“Y/N” is all I mumbled
“I know her hearts beats for you Tom” I stared at her “Go get your girl Cruise, I’ll stay here with Suri” I leaned down and kissed her head
“Thank you”
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Katie gave me her key to get in, since we both knew Y/N wasn’t going to leave the guestroom to answer the door. I walked upstairs, and walked to down the hall till I found the only bedroom door that was closed, and I knocked gently
“Katie I told you I’m not hungry” she said, I knocked again “Katie, please I want to be alone” I knew if I said anything she wouldn’t open the door, so I simply knocked again “Katie what?” she said opening the door “Tom?” she asked
“Uh, yeah”
“What, could you possibly want?” she said
“I want to talk to you”
“I don’t want to talk to you” she mumbled
“Y/N, please listen.” I followed her into the room and she sat on the edge of the bed wrapped in her blanket. I kneeled down in front of her “I am so sorry” I said with tears in my eyes “I am so fucking sorry, I was a complete dick. I did what I did and I can’t take it back… but I did it because I was so fucking jealous.”
“You told me we can’t be together you don’t have the right to pull the jealousy card”
“I love you Y/N, I’ve always loved you. Before we even spoke for the first time in high school I use to look at you and think how fucking beautiful you were.” She let out a laugh
“I wasn’t beautiful in high school… I’m not even that beautiful now… I know I’m not ugly but I’m not beautiful”
“You were then and you still are. So fucking beautiful, I love you, and I’m sorry I said we can’t be together… I thought you deserved better than me”
“Tom, there is no one better than you. You are the only person I have ever wanted. Ever, I love you. I want to be with you” She got up and started to walk to the door “Just leave, I can’t hear you say you love me” I stood up and walked over and brought my lips to hers again.
“Be mine” I said when I broke away
“What?” she asked
“I love you, and I’m sorry I said we can’t be together… but I fucking love you, please be mine” she stared up at me, wrapped her arms around my neck and played with my hair.
“Tom, I’ve always been yours” I brought my lips to hers again, and it is all I have ever dreamed of “Tom make love to me” she whispered in my ear
“Not here” I said before kissing her again
“Why?”
“I always imagined our first time together would be in my bed… I want you in my bed the first time I make you mine” she giggled
“That’s some cave man logic”
“Yeah, well you know me” she giggled again “Come home please” I said
“Yes, of course I’ll come home.” She kissed me again
“I love you so much baby”
“I love you too”
Ok so the next chapter will be the final chapter and then we begin with the one-shot series! I have so many ideas! if you have any suggestions or requests for those let me know!

Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise remains estranged from his daughter Suri, born in 2006 when he was married to actress Katie Holmes.
A new report on Page Six quotes a source as saying Suri now 16 lives with her mother in New York after their separation in 2011. According to The Daily Mail, Suri has started applying to colleges and plans on studying fashion.
"Suri is applying to schools across the country," an insider revealed. "Katie really wants her to stay in New York so they can be close," they continued, noting how Katie takes great pride in her but is also overprotective."
Additionally, reports have said Cruise and Suri have been estranged since 2013, with Cruise expected to pay for Suri's higher education - at which point, according to reports $400,000 annually until Suri turns 18.

As Katie put it: "Growing up as a single mom in New York has made Suri into who she is today; raised by a single mom with love and respect from Katie before anything else," they added that Suri "is turning into an intelligent mature woman with loyal friends who love her more than anything."
After his divorce from Holmes, Cruise admitted that he no longer had any involvement in Suri's life; even noting in a deposition that he hadn't seen her in three months. When facing off in court against a media publication, the actor had stated, "Divorce is never easy... things change.

It's never an ideal setting or scenario." "When asked about his split from Holmes, whom he seemed infatuated with at one point, Cruise acknowledged his involvement with Scientology might have contributed to it," reported Page Six. When lawyers had inquired if Holmes had gone her own way "in part to protect Suri from Scientology," Cruise replied that this had indeed been one of her assertions - yes."
The Church of Scientology forbids members from associating with non-believers, known as'suppressive persons'.
Former Scientologist Leah Remini had revealed to The Post in 2020 that Holmes is considered an enemy by Scientology since she doesn't subscribe to its practices; as a result, their daughter Suri cannot form any meaningful connection with her dad:
"I'm sure his master plan is to wait until Suri gets older so he can draw her away from her mother and into Scientology."
Cruise is one of the world's most prominent Scientologists, which continues to be a contentious aspect of his personal life. Professionally, Cruise had his most successful year with Top Gun: Maverick last year.

Tom cruise bartender
#TOM CRUISE BARTENDER MOVIE#
– Making Cocktail in Canada was a bit of a homecoming for Cruise. He returned in 1998 to attend the Toronto International Film Festival as producer of Without Limits and popped into the city briefly in the summer of 2010 to visit daughter Suri while his then-wife Katie Holmes was shooting The Kennedys. While his then-wife Nicole Kidman was making 1995’s To Die For in Toronto, Cruise spent time in the city learning learning to fly and earned his pilot’s license.
#TOM CRUISE BARTENDER MOVIE#
– Cocktail is the only movie Cruise ever made in Toronto – but it wasn’t the last time he was in the city. “All of those things are themes that young people are concerned with and definitely identify with… and still do.” What are you going to do with your career? What are you going to do with your love life? How are you going to handle your parents? All of those issues are explored in that movie,” Donaldson said in an interview last year with Movie Fanatic. “It’s a movie that speaks to young people and their lives. With dreams of opening his own bar, Brian takes a job at a beach resort in Jamaica and falls for Jordan Mooney, a girl from a wealthy family (Elisabeth Shue).Ī quarter-century after Cocktail opened in theatres, its director explains why it still resonates with audiences. In today’s dollars, Cocktail was a $300 million blockbuster.Ĭruise was Brian Flanagan, an American soldier returning to civilian life in New York City who meets a veteran bartender (Bryan Brown) and balances college studies and a job behind the bar. It gave Cruise his best opening weekend - beating Top Gun by $3.6 million – and went on to earn $172 million worldwide. and Canada for two weeks before being bumped by Young Guns. The movie earned $11.8 million on its opening weekend and remained in the No. Written by Heywood Gould (previously a writer and producer of TV’s The Equalizer) and directed by Roger Donaldson (who had just made No Way Out starring Kevin Costner ), Cocktail was Cruise’s tenth movie and came hot on the heels of Risky Business, Top Gun and The Color of Money. “But it wasn’t a movie that stood out for me.” “Everybody was in awe of Tom Cruise because he was just ascending and he was definitely in control of the movie,” recalls Stuart Aikins, the movie’s Toronto casting director, from his home in B.C. The simple tale of a bartender who tossed bottles and landed a wife – which opened in theatres on J– was largely filmed in Toronto. TORONTO – Cocktail, the movie that cemented Tom Cruise’s leading man status in Hollywood and made audiences dream of a place called Kokomo, celebrates its 25 th birthday on Monday.

This proved in the ‘80s that all Tom Cruise needed was a ridiculous undertaking. Still, the film did gross over $170 million against a budget of just $20 million. Sure, Roger Ebert wrote, "The more you think about what really happens in “Cocktail”, the more you realize how empty and fabricated it really is." Richard Corliss of TIME wasn’t much kinder saying it was "a bottle of rotgut in a Dom Perignon box."Ĭruise, for his part, admitted, "Cocktail is not my crowning jewel." However, alongside his Oscar nomination for that year’s “Rain Man,” “Cocktail” earned him the distinction as the only actor nominated for an Academy Award and a Razzie in the same year. The star characteristically threw himself into “flair bartending,” while breaking so many bottles, they eventually switched to plastic. The people came to see Tom Cruise flip bottles while preaching about shots called the death rattle and orgasm. It was written by the guy who wrote Fort Apache The Bronx, and it was a much darker movie, but Disney took it, reshot about a third of it, and turned it into flipping the bottles and this and that."Īs it turns out, no one cared about the overarching criticism about ‘80s excess. But it was obviously a really successful movie, if not as good as it could’ve been. With Cruise came inevitable changes as actress Kelly Lynch explained, " was actually a really complicated story about the ’80s and power and money, and it was really re-edited. Eisner says, 'He'll never do this, don't waste your time, he can't play this part.' And then Katzenberg says, 'Well, he's really interested in doing it,' and without skipping a beat, Eisner says, 'He's perfect for it, a perfect fit!' That's the movie business: I hate him, I love him I love him, I hate him!" "Someone mentioned that this might be a good vehicle for Tom Cruise. Despite the long list of potentialities, Gould shared an illuminating story regarding Disney’s head honchos, Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, about how the big decision was made.
