Collide

Nine

Astrid made sure to bump into him, after conjuring a new look for herself. She knew he would be the best one out of them all. Sitting opposite him in the coffee shop, she pulled out her book, and sat back, knowing that her summer dress rode up a little. She made sure it was a book that would interest him, to gain his attention.

This had to be a normal meet thing, and she would make sure to be a regular here, until he made the move. She couldn't deny it, he was handsome, appealing. She didn't want to form a relationship with any of the human men, but she could certainly enjoy the company. She did not want to reach a millenia without at least experiencing the wild passions of sexual relations.

Glancing up, she caught his eye and smiled, making sure the illusion she had on, blushed at his gaze. She saw him quickly look down at her book and then back up at her. Smiling to herself, this might be easier than she thought.

Two months of 'dating', and she had him hooked. Tonight would be her losing her purity, but it would be worth it. Astrid had relented, knowing she had started to have romantic feelings for him, cared for him. She couldn't let that get in the way of her revenge, but maybe one day, she would tell him the truth.

'This view is amazing..'.. He said, looking out her window, and she smiled across at him, as she dished up dinner.

'The view in here is better..'... She winked at him, and sucked the sauce from her thumb. She saw his eyes flicker at her movement and she grinned... 'Don't tell me you're nervous?..'

He walked over, setting his glass down, standing opposite her at the kitchen island... 'Its just, you said you're still a virgin. I mean, what woman holds onto that at your age?..'.. She chuckled. As far as he knew, she was only 27... 'Its kind of daunting..'

'I wanted to wait until I found the right person..'.. Astrid leaned on the island, closer to him... 'And I have..'.. She saw his eyes darken, and he sucked in a breath... 'I know you're nervous, and that's ok, I am too. But I really like you, and I think this could be something, right?..'

'Yeah, yeah I think so too..'.. He leaned forward, closing the gap and kissing her softly. Astrid giggled into the kiss and pulled back.

'Then whenever it happens, it happens. Come on, I'm starving and I'm sure you are too, after a long day like that..'.. She picked up the lasagne, and he grabbed their drinks. The two quickly set the table and sat down.

She could see it in his eyes, he was falling for her, and Astrid knew she would have to compartmentalise her feelings from her plan. Nothing and no one was stopping her from revenge.

------------------------------------------------------------

Over the past year and a half, Astrid had perfected her plan. It had taken a long time, but she had made sure, thst nothing could go wrong. She stepped back, looking at the walls around her, seeing that it was ready. When Thor would return, he would lose.

Smirking proudly, she moved to her laptop, and tracked Jane Foster. She knew where the woman was, and it was time to go and play nice. Closing the laptop, she slipped it into its bag, and picked it up, heading out to the living room.

'You know, a responsible parent doesn't leave their child home alone for so long. Haven't you seen what happens in the movies?..'.. She rolled her eyes, ignoring Wade as he laid on her couch, one leg up and the other on the floor, and a huge bowl of nachos on his chest.
