Somewhere Along the Way... (Loki x Reader)

Girls Night...

After making a quick list of things I needed I headed out of the compound and into the bustling city to stop at the shops.

An hour later I had successfully got Loki a selection of clothes, formal, casual, some pyjamas, boxers, shoes and toiletries.

With that I set off to my favourite bookstore before heading home.

As I entered the bell above the door chimed announcing my arrival.

"Sarah?" I called out.

"Dear? Is that you? Oh it is! Where have you been, it's been a while!" Sarah made her way out from behind the counter, she was an older lady. Her grey hair pulled back into a neat little bun, she pushed her glasses up her nose blinking at me a few times as she reached me.

"I know, I know. I've been very busy recently Sarah, between work and the horses. You know me. I thought I better stop in and see how you were keeping and pick out some books for a friend coming to visit." I hugged her now she had reached me.

"Oh dear, I'm good, it's funny you should call in, you know. Jacob is home from his travels! He would love you! Have you anyone special yet?" She questioned me.

Every time I visited she talked to me about her son, I was pretty adamant she was trying to set us up.

"Oh no! No man Sarah. I wouldn't have time for one! You know me a workaholic!" I laughed nervously at her.

"Oh dear, you can't work all the time. You need to take time out for yourself and let your hair down every once in a while you know. Now this friend of yours? What do they like?" She was making her way over towards the shelves.

"I...ummm. I'm not really sure. I would imagine some of the classics? Probably some factual books too. Perhaps astrology?" Sarah was studying me now, then she proceeded to lift books from random shelves.

"Well there should be something there they might like? Take your pick."

"Keep them there, I will take them all!" I pointed to the books on the counter, I picked out a few myself for him hoping he might like them. "There, that should do."

I left ladened with 15 books, I had lifted two for myself if I ever got time to sit down and read them that is. I bailed them into the car before I grabbed a coffee from the cafe next door, after all it had been a stressful day. With that I set off.

Half an hour later I pulled up at the house, stepping out of my black Mustang.

When I got everything brought in from the car I kicked my heels off and headed upstairs.

I made my way into the spare room beside my own room and left the toiletries in the en-suite. Folded the clothes and put them in the drawers neatly, before changing the bed clothes quickly.

No one had stayed over in a while but I still wanted him to be as comfortable as possible. Tony and Thor where to bring him over later, although I warned Thor he had to stay tonight as I was still going out to the club with Nat and Wanda.

With that I sorted the other room for Thor, I had made sure to grab a stash of pop tarts in the grocery store for him. Hoping it might help to keep him sweet owing to the fact he would likely have to carry me up the stairs in the early hours of the morning.

I giggled at that thought.

After sorting Thor's room I ran downstairs and put a chicken in the oven and left it to roast while I went upstairs and got showered and washed my hair. When I got out I dried my hair and curled it, putting a small braid at each side and securing them at the back of my head with a dainty clip.
