Between Brothers (Thor Love Story)

Chapter Nine: The Ritziest Of All The Ritzes

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!! So, I meant to post this on Friday, but... I'm a lazy bum. Yeah... That is also why I haven't posted for the past 2 or 3 weeks, but at least this chapter is longer! Looking on the bright side. Anyway, I want to dedicate this chapter to my friend who I'm not gonna say, but she knows who she is. She moved Friday, and I miss her, so this is kind of my goodbye gift to her. Love you! So, enjoy the chapter!

SAM'S POV

Well. That was interesting. Now I have a new locket and some time to kill. I looked through the movies and decided on Meet Joe Black. I love that movie and have seen it a thousand times. There's just something about a young Brad Pitt.

As I watched it, I thought about my family, and what would happen to them if I never came back. I hate how Death took a young man in the prime of his life just to be shown around the world. Now that I think about it, the young man is kind of like me.

We were both taken because someone else "had need" of us. We had no choice in the matter. I mean, did Loki ask if I wanted to be in this place? Heck no! He just up and decided that I'd make an excellent queen and then BAM! Instant imprisonment.

I eventually decided that I needed to start getting ready, so I went to my closet to look for something to wear. It had to be modest, fancy, comfortable, and easy to run in. I looked through the many dresses until my eyes land on a gorgeous forest green dress with black trim on the sleeves and neckline. It also had a few ridges, and a flower in the neckline. I smiled as I tried it on. It hugged my curves just right and made me look sexier than I ever have before. It came a little below my knees, which made it easy to run in.

I took it off and went to go take a shower. Tonight was going to be very interesting.

2 HOURS LATER

I put on the finishing touches to my makeup. I had my hair up in a simple bun, and I had some silver and green jewelry on. I pulled on my black high heels, grabbed a black clutch, and walked out of my room.

I took off my heels to walk down the stairs. Loki was waiting downstairs for me. His eyes bugged out when he saw me. I giggled a bit when he started blushing. I then noticed that we were wearing the exact shade of green. I started to blush too. He offered me a coat and his arm.

We drove there in silence. He never told me, but I think Loki can read my mind. I keep feeling that something is looking into my mind and seeing my darkest thoughts. So, I try to keep a wall up in my mind.

When we arrived, there was a huge line at the front of the door. I started to worry that we wouldn't be able to get in. We just walked to the front and Loki whispered something to the maître de. When we walked past the maître de started bowing and practically worshipping the ground we walked on.

I raised an eyebrow and looked at Loki. He shrugged and said, "We must look like somebody he admires or something like that."

"Uh-huh, sure. What did you do, Loki? Did you threaten him or something?"

"I told you, we just look like somebody he admires. Now let's sit and order." He pulled out a chair and gestured for me to sit. I did.

I opened the menu and looked over the options. A New York steak sounded really good just then. The waiter came to our table and asked for our orders.

"I'll have a steak, well done, with the side of rosemary potatoes, and a salad."

"I will have the same."

The waiter wrote it down, then bowed. "Your food will be here shortly, your Highnesses."

I looked around distractedly, trying to see if there was anyone I knew here. But of course, there were only wealthy people here. I could see them looking over at our table, with I think jealous looks. Probably because I'm so beautiful. Yeah, no.
