The Love Of Mischief

Chapter 11

"So that actually happened?" I panted as Loki pulled the quilt over us. I still can't believe that I just slept with the God Of Mischief "Please tell me I am not dreaming"
"Yeah, it did happen" Loki put one arm around me and one arm behind his head "I have never felt like that before"
"What do you mean?" I laid my head on Loki's chest. The arm that covered me, Ran circles over my skin.
"Whenever I have been with someone, I couldn't wait to get the deed over and done with and get rid of them. This time. It felt right and I don't want you to ever leave me"
"Loki, I do understand that. Even if it was my first time, It felt like... " I clicked my fingers as I tried to think of the words "I can't explain it"
"It felt like why haven't we been doing this the whole time" Loki sighed "At least it did for me"
"And me. I wish I agreed to this sooner" I smiled.
"Any regrets?" Loki pulled me closer to him.
"No, No regrets" I lifted my head, Leaning my chin on his chest "You?"
"Only that I wished we did this sooner" Loki laid on his back, pulling me to his chest. This doesn't help my rising feeling of awkwardness, though "Never before have I seen such beauty laying beneath me"
"Loki, -" I went to speak but Loki kissed me. I tried to pull him closer to me but he held back a little "What's wrong?"
"Trust me when I say that I want to have you more but, I'm afraid that I may lose myself completely"
"I wouldn't be complaining" I laughed. I shuffled a little. I let out a little hiss.
"Are you alright my darling?" I stared at Loki's softened and relaxed features. I put my hand on his chest.
"Other than I ache in places that I wasn't aware could ache" I wiggled a little. This brought a smile to my man's face "How are you feeling darling" I asked before Loki placed another kiss on my forehead.
"I feel great. A bit tired. But mainly happy that you are here with me" I felt how Loki carefully embraced me, not that I minded. Loki was so warm. This was surprising, considering that he is a Frost Giant "I feel like I should have been more gentle with you"
"I may have a broken arm but I am not glass. No need to be so delicate"
"No, You are much like a crystal. One of a kind, unique and special. A piece of the universe, Vibrating to your own unique frequency. Given the right light, You are your own universe. Capable of shining bright amount the dark and infinite sky" I blushed at his poetic words. Unable to say anything. My mouth flapped open like a fish out of water "Cat got your tongue?"
"You really know how to flatter a girl" I rolled my eyes after I finally stuttered out the sentence. Loki couldn't help but chuckle. His fingers made their way to my hair and started playing with it.
"Your hair is so soft, I love playing with it."
"Yeah, I've noticed that. Please do not stop." It was oddly soothing for Loki to play with my hair.
"I won't"

After another week. I was finally allowed to check up on the maids. (And make sure Thor and the Warriors three wasn't destroying the place. Would you believe that Thor has even kept his room clean) I still couldn't work till my armed was healed but that wouldn't stop me. However, Things seem to be running smoothly without me. Charlotte was doing so well. Though she did admit that she was counting down the weeks till I could come back. Which was only 5 at most.

Loki sitting at his desk with his head propped up on his hand. He was sat at his desk reading through some of the books he had yet to finish. He flipped through the pages, skimming the text for any pages he might have missed. I slowly walked into the room toward Loki. He turned his head toward the soft sounds.
"Oh, Hello, my sweet," He said with a smile. He then turned his attention back to the books.
"Hey, Loki. What are you doing?" I asked. I placed both hands on his broad shoulders.
"Boring paperwork. I am trying to go through it all" He started and I quickly cut him off.
"Yeah, I bet that's interesting. So, do you wanna take a break?" I smiled.
"I guess, so" He turned his chair away from his desk and faced me "What did you have in mind?"
"I was thinking I would go for a nap. Would you care to join me?" I asked.
"Of course, I would!" Loki smiled as I grabbed his hand and pulled him from the chair towards the bed.

At some point during the nap, Loki went back to his desk. I wondered around the house. I had ordered some food from the kitchen which wasn't going to be here for another hour. I felt sorry for Loki. He has been cooped up in the room all day. I heard that there was going to be a meteor shower tonight and it was starting in 5..ish minutes. I smiled. I climbed off the bed and Loki spun around to face me.
"Hey, Amelia. What's up?"
"Come stand outside with me"
"Okay, Let me finish this and I will" Loki points to an envelope "I'm nearly done with all this paperwork"
"No now. I wanna show you something" I grabbed Loki's hand "Come on, Loki! You can stop whatever grown-up stuff you're doing, and come with me" I pleaded, tugging on The God's sleeve.
"Fine, but as soon as you're done with whatever you're doing, I'm finishing this" Loki sighed.
"I promise you won't regret this!" I smiled.

I dragged him outside just as the first meteor fell. Slowly, more meteors began to fall. We stood in silence before Loki spoke up.
"Thanks for dragging me out here for this, Amelia" Loki said "This is a much-needed break"
"No problem. You were holed up in that room all day, I had a feeling you needed a change of pace" I smiled. Loki gently grabbed my hand and gave it a small squeeze.
"You're the best girlfriend a God could ask for" Loki muttered.
"You are the best boyfriend an Asgardian could ask for" I giggled. After this exchange, We stood in silence, watching the meteor shower. Loki glanced over at Me. I was grinning from ear to ear, obviously pleased that I had gotten him out there. He turned back to look at the meteor shower, He had a calm look on his face. I leaned upwards and kissed him on the cheek. His hand flew up to his cheek "Thank you, Loki. For coming out here with me. Makes this night just a bit better" I said softly. He smiled at me and planted a gentle kiss on my lips.
"And this" Loki replied "Just made the night perfect. I love you"
"I love you" I smiled Loki stood in front of me, slipped his hand into mine and dragged me further down the path, despite my giggles and faint protests.
"Dance with me" he murmured.
"You don't dance"
"I do but only for you and where no one can see us" Loki shrugged. I placed my hand that glowed faintly in the moonlight on Loki's shoulder as he slipped his hand around my waist. Holding me close. We waltzed together, whispering memories into one another's ears as the stars twinkled and winked at them. There was nothing to stop us from just letting go, Letting ourselves slip into the shoes of younger children with no worries and just relish this time we had together. There were no arguments "I'm sorry that I have spent all my time doing paperwork"
"It's okay. I don't mind as long I can have these moments" I smiled as we twirled. We barely had time for each other as of late. Lord Odin kept Loki busy and I was healing or dealing with Thor (He's also told me to drop the title now. As long as I don't call him Sparkles, He don't care) When we did get time together, We only talked for a half-hour before Loki crashed out in bed. We had our moments, the odd kiss or brush of the hand, but they were so quick, I had to question if I was imagining it or not.

I was eager to get back to work (And in dire need of something to do), Lady Frigga said that I can help out with laundry. After doing a mini dance, I raced upstairs to a bedroom. I saw a figure jump off the balcony. I did wonder who it was and if they were all right but then I remember that most of the warriors in Asgard jump on buildings for fun. Thor certainly does but he can sort of fly so he can get away with it. I knock as I arrive at Lady Sif's room. A laundry basket was placed on my hip.
"Who is it?" I hear her silky voice speak.
"Room service" I spoke.
"You may enter" I hear her reply. I took a deep breath as I open the door. It was oddly fresh smelling. but then again, I was used to Thor's room.

"Amelia. Good to see you" Lady SIf beamed. I put the basket down on the bed as she patted my good arm. Her hair was sticking up a little at the back.
"How are you doing today?" I insisted.
"Same as always" Lady Sif grinned after she sat back on her bed. It was oddly crumpled. Nothing like what it normally is. This was messy, Even for Lady Sif.
"I see that you have maintained your room while I have been away" I waved my hand around.
"I couldn't risk you breaking a leg. The Lady Frigga would slice me in two" Lady Sif smiled. I went around picking the clothes up "Are you sure you should be working?"
"She said I was fine to help with laundry. I am only allowed to help out with laundry and giving orders out" I walked into the bathroom. Tidying the towels.
"Sounds normal really" She pointed at me. I looked out of her window. Towards the rose bush that he usually sits at "Who are you looking for?"
"What are you talking about?" I sighed.
"Every time you come into my room, You look to the courtyard"
"Do I?" I played dumb "Well I am the head maid. I like to keep the place tidy and make sure the gardener is doing his job"
"Nothing to do with a guy then?"
"I don't know what you mean" I insisted. Lady Sif chuckled.
"Come on, Amelia. It's just us girls. You got your eye on anyone" I stared at Lady Sif
"I don't have the time" I smiled. I started cleaning the bathroom "You?"
"One guy, But he doesn't feel the same way" Lady Sif looked towards the window.
"What sort of idiot would turn you down?"
"You don't have to try and make me feel better" Lady Sif picked at the bed cover "I am a warrior of Asgard. I shouldn't be hiding in my room from a man"
"You slept with him, Didn't you?" my mouth dropped. I walked out of the bathroom "And you are either embarrassed or he left without saying bye"
"How about both. I thought he liked me, Like really like me" Lady Sif covered her face with a pillow.
"Not to sound too judgy but why did you sleep with him?"
"I wanted to and I was a little bit drunk last night" I heard through the pillow.
"You need to speak to... What's his name?"
"I can't tell you his name" Lady Sif denied. Wish I could read minds right now "Look, Amelia. End of the day. I was an idiot for giving in. Even if it was to the man I love"
"You never know, It may work out in time" I picked up the washing basket and placed it on my hip "Now, I have stood around for far too long. Lady Sif, I was you. I would take the day off. Claim lady problems or something"
"I think I will. Thank you Amelia" Lady Sif sat up a little "Thank you for listening"
"Anytime. Now, I shall bid thee good day" I bowed as I walked out the room.
