Chapter 5 - You Really Are Something

----

"Alright, well here's a good question. How would you rate your partner as a lover?"

"Pass! And I'm sorry, how has that got anything to do with reading my fortune?" I shake my head in embarrassment and pick up a medium sized box, moving it to the side and placing it down.

"It just does. Now come on! How would you rate Derek as your lover? How would you describe his love making?"

I feel my cheeks flush and I stumble on my words for a second, unsure of how to respond to his question. My hand rubs the back of my neck and I let out an awkward laugh.

"I guess, oh I don't know. I guess, I'd say like sweet and, I don't know, gentle." I place my hand over my eyes and drop my head to the floor.

"Alright. Now how often-"

"No! No, pass! I'm not answering that!" I spin around, almost crashing into a pile of boxes.

"Look if this is to work-"

I cut Loki off abruptly and tilt my head to the side, "Wait, that song. I know that song! It's The Chain by Fleetwood Mac. It's from here on Earth."

"Yeah I know. My brother Thor showed it to me one day. I must admit I quite like it."

"Well then turn it up!" I yell out to him, then begin to sway my body to the music.

Loki turns up the volume and stands from his chair, swaying his own body to the beat. He laughs and flicks his head back, jigging his leg around.

I move my shoulders and throw my hips side to side, also laughing with Loki. The pair of us bust out in lyrics along with the song.

"And if you don't love me now!"

"You will never love me again!"

"I can still hear you saying!"

"You would never break the chain!"

"And if you don't love me now!"

"You will never love me again!"

"I can still hear you saying!"

"You would never break the chain!"

We both laugh and dance around the room, a strong feeling as if we were both really there with each other overcomes me. Suddenly Derek clears his throat behind me, startling me and making me turn around. I can't help but slightly laugh at the ridiculous situation.

"Hey. Hi." Derek raises his brow at me as he stands in the doorway.

"Hi." I smile back at him, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Is this some more shedding going on?" He laughs but pulls a face.

"No, this is called dancing." I wink at him and step closer, taking his hand in mine and swishing it about.

"Uh huh, yeah I see that." He twirls me around but continues to keep his brows drawn together.

"Talk later." Loki throws in and promptly cuts off our connection.

"So why are you dancing around in here?" Derek licks his lips whilst narrowing his eyes down on me.

I spin around and take a few steps back before facing my husband once more, "Oh I was just looking for my photo albums. I thought I'd left them on the top shelf up there." I point towards the shelves fixed onto the wall.
