Maid to Honor (Loki Love Story)

Part 4

Quite a bit of cussing ran through her head as she made her way down the halls and to level 5 where the pool room way. Frickin Stark had practically everything in this tower. However in her rebellious state, and she knew she'd probably regret it later, she didn't put on a bathing suit. The leash she did was a simple rank top and shorts, which she still felt unprofessional and uncomfortable in; this was her job for norns sake!

The elevator opened and she stepped out with hesitation, going more into the room where practically an Olympic size pool shimmered in the middle, Tony's moto go big or go home representing itself as she looked around for any signs of Loki. Not here.

'aren't I'm the one who needs to worry about arriving on time, not him?' she thought and took a step back to find him somewhere else, her back coming on contact with something tall and solid, making her jump forward and turning around to see Loki smirking as always.

''looking for me?'' he said innocently, his grin getting wider once her eye contact left him when she realized he was only in his black swim trunks and nothing else.

''can you tell me the point of this?'' she asked with a sigh, wanting to get it over with as her wings gave a fluff.

Loki merely shrugged a fine and walked around her to the pool, looking over it as if for inspection. ''Asgard mainly has lengthy tubs, lakes and its oceans. I wish to know more about this type of swim area the Midgardian's seem to enjoy so much. What is its purpose when its stripped away from sunshine and waves?''

His voice seemed to be like he was genuinely curious.. then again it sounded like that earlier before the shower met her. She merely kept a distance away from him.. and the pool. ''..some people use it to learn how to swim.. others I suppose would use it because they don't wish to make the drive to the ocean or because their location is to far from it.'' She explained as Loki bent down and ran his hand through the cool water, watching as the droplets fell from his fingertips.

''and the joy itself in it?''

Rose gave a small shrug as she stayed where she was by the bench a few steps from the pool as he stood back up to look at her. ''..i guess move around, exercise or something..''

His nod was slow as he looked from her, to the water in a repeated process, all the while making his way over to her which made her grip the edges of the bench in hidden nervousness. He stalked until he was right in front of her, bending down to be eye to eye with her with his fingers laced behind him. ''show me.''

''..what?''

''show me the enjoyment out of it.''

Rose blinked up at him, almost forgetting his half naked and rather muscular chest before her as she tried to process what he was asking of her. ''its not exactly for everyone- so you'd have to try it yourself and se if you're one of those few-''

''I am not a Midgardian, I wouldn't fall in any of those few.''

''neither am i.'' she pointed out with a raised brow, stubbornness battling each other but with hidden amusement for each if they dared to admit it.

With a sigh, Loki straightened himself out, looking dramatically defeated as his eyes went over to the diving board across the way. ''fine, but you might want to retrieve your phone. I had hoped it would be motivation because I here any would be to... what's the word? Chicken to get on.''

Rose's eyes quickly snapped wide as she shot to her feet with her sight over to the diving board where indeed in fact her phone lay all the way at the end of it. The worst part of it all was when she stood up quickly, she accidently lurched forward and bumped into Loki who fell backward at the sudden motion and right into the pool.
