Illusions | Loki & Jane

8. Breakfast

The God of Mischief had gotten a job in a large company in no time and seemed to be a very talented attorney. He knew when people were lying and he knew for example how to make them sign a document they didn't want to sign. He had more job offers by the end of the month, which didn't interest him at all, he just needed to maintain his illusion, so that his identity would be trustworthy. He had made an arrangement with the company that he only had to be present two days a week, which gave him the opportunity to spend time with Jane and to go to Asgard at least once a week.
He had explained to Jane that he had gone out of town last month, which was why he hadn't been able to go to see her earlier, which she of course understood.
When they weren't working or Loki wasn't visiting his home, they had been doing a lot of human stuff, like going to restaurants, to the cinemas, ice-skating, taking strolls in the evening and all the other things people did to enjoy themselves when they had spare time. The astrophysicist even forced him to watch E.T. with her, which made Loki cry of laughing, because he imagined his father riding a bicycle saying: "Odin phone home."

He had found out a lot about Jane, her history and her parents the past three months, she had told him almost everything.
He had told her that his family died last year, which is why he had decided to move to New York a few months ago. He didn't know what else he could say to make sure, she wouldn't want to visit them one day.

"How did it happen?" Jane asked.

"Airplane crash." He answered pretending being sad about it.

"All of them?"

"Yes they were coming to visit me from Europe and my brother wanted me to come to his graduation-party," he thought about the coronation that was supposed to happen next year, "but I had no time so I didn't and so they came visiting me and the plane crashed."

"That is horrible, I am so sorry." She said almost crying herself, which made the Demigod feel bad about himself lying to her. He decided to quickly change the subject. They were walking through the Central Park on their way to Loki's apartment. He had been enjoying the time with this woman more than he had enjoyed anything in his life. Every time they touched made him feel like he was having shocks even though when it merely was an unintentional brush. It made him get chills and it felt like his stomach was making somersaults. He had been living for so long and still there was nothing comparable to this. Why did she have to be a human? She would be dead in no time.

"John?" When they were standing in front of the skyscraper she looked into his eyes with an anxious oeillade.

"Yes?" He looked down at her, seeing her fiddling with her hair, unsure about what she was going to say. Suddenly he felt his blood stir and his hands started shaking slightly again. Seeing her looking at him like that made him feel dizzy.

"I- I wanted to say that- that -" She stammered shyly.

"That you've fallen in love with me?" He smirked.

"What?" She blushed with widened eyes. How did he know that? This was certainly not the words she would have chosen, but yes it was true. Oh god, this was embarrassing as hell, she wanted to run away immediately.

"I know." He breathed brushing a hair-strain out off her face affectionately, sliding his hand down to her neck. Jane freezed. His slightly cold hands on her skin gave her chills and it felt like her heart wanted to jump out of her chest. Suddenly she couldn't do anything anymore. Her pulse quickened and the heat rushed into her head. Was he in love with her as well?

Loki pulled her head closer to him softly, not breaking the eye-contact. Oh God, Oh God! Jane thought while her breathing wasn't as fluently as normally. She could feel his breath on her skin and wanted nothing but to kiss him this instant. She closed the gap eagerly and pressed her lips onto his. Loki sighed into the kiss, letting his feelings go. He closed his eyes and pulled her closer to him, while she opened her mouth, letting him enter with his tongue. Jane's hands were in his hair, trying to pull him nearer to her. Loki followed her rhythm, which showed that she was thirsty for more. As was he. His hands were holding her waist and head, pressing her onto his body. He broke the kiss unwillingly, yet if they would continue this on the middle of the street it wouldn't end well. They both breathed heavily, still holding each other in their arms. "Shall we go upstairs?" He asked signing to the top of the tower with his eyes, smirking at her naughtily. Jane nodded happily, following him into the building.
