Fallen

Wendy

Chapter 6

Loki
~*~

          She's adorable, however the 'not interested' act is starting to get old. She takes another drink from the middle of the table as a ring of froth lingers upon her upper lip. I smile and can't help but chuckle a little. She's completely unaware that she now has a frothy moustache She turn to face me and narrows her eyes.

          "What's your name?" I ask her. I can't believe I haven't asked for her name yet.

          "An-." She stops, "Wendy. My name is Wendy."

          I narrow my eyes at her. She smiles sweetly and I follow her gaze. Her friend, one of the blondes, I think her name was Taff or something, gives her a confused look but she just ignores her.

          "Well Wendy, would you like another drink?" I try to keep her attention focused on me.

          I see a flicker of something in her eyes before her expression turns hard and she shakes her head, declining the offer.

          "Come on Tiff, let's go to the bar." I hear her say.

          I raise my eyebrows as she gets up and walks off with her blonde friend. I won't stop her of course but I watch her walk away. My eyes linger on her for a bit too long as I feel a body shuffle over to me.

          "So Loki," Penny grins, leaning in. I think I know what's coming. "Not used to being turned down, huh?" Her eyes are alive with amusement, "What's it like?"

          I roll my eyes, ignoring her.

          "Come on, the great Loki not getting a girl. What next? Not being king?" She laughs and Fabian joins in too. Wendy's other friends are deep in conversation with Riley so they can't hear us.

          "Look, I guarantee she will be coming home with me tonight." I smile.

          They both roll their eyes. Penny flicks her pink hair back. "I'll believe that, when I see it." She winks at me and scoots back over to Fabian.

          Wendy walks back over, not seeming that happy about the fact I've spread myself out so much that she only has a small seat left in the corner, just how I planned. Wendy narrows her eyes but seeing her friends aren't planning to leave the table anytime soon, she sighs and sits down in the corner next to me.

          "Here you go, Ana." Taff hands Wendy her drink from the other side of the table.

          "Ana?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. Wendy's eyes widen and so do her friend's.

          "Fine. My name's, Ana." She takes a gulp of her drink and I watch her swallow it down. My mouth turns dry as I try to find words.

          "Any reason why you decided to give me a fake name?" I ask totally oblivious to anyone else around me.

          "Like you haven't given a fake name before?" She sends an accusing look my way and looks over to where her friends are being chatted up by Riley.

          "No." I answer quickly. Maybe once or twice.

          She takes another sip of her drink and it leaves another froth of foam on her upper lip. My lips twitch up at the side but that turns into a frown as Ana is trying her best to ignore me and looks to be more focused on her friends down the table. Is she worried about them sitting with Riley?

          "Well Ana, if that is your actual name. You have a little something on your lip." I smile leaning back against the sofa, momentarily bringing her focus back to me. I bring my knee up and study her.

          "Oh my god!" She looks into a small mirror that she takes from her purse and quickly wipes the froth away.

          I can't help but laugh. She is really cute. Her cheeks go bright red as she continues to ignore me. She wouldn't be going bright red if she didn't have any attraction to me so I take it as she's playing hard to get. Don't get me wrong, I'd never push a girl who I knew wasn't interested, not that that's ever the case, but I know she's attracted to me. For one, she steals glances when she thinking I'm not looking, two she keeps fiddling with things nervously and three, she seems to hitch her breathing when I move slightly closer to her.

          "Say Ana, do you like to dance?" I ask remembering the way she moved the other night. The image of her in that little black dress replays in my mind non stop.

          "No, I don't dance." She raises her head a little and tries to distract herself with anything other than looking at me. I narrow my eyes at her as Penny scoots over, hopefully coming to help matters.

          "Hi, I'm Penny, what's your name?" Penny smiles at Ana.

          "Her name's Ana." I reply.

          "I wasn't asking you." Penny snaps at me. I'm used to her attitude towards me by now and I laugh a little.

          Im saving you Loki, you were slowly losing her. Penny's voice appears in my head, almost a whisper but as clear and crisp. She smiles at me. I roll my eyes at her as she starts talking to Ana. I wish she would back off. I hate when she speaks through my mind like that. That's the annoying thing about hanging out with other Fallen, we can talk to each other through our minds. That's not even the half of what we can do.

          "I hope Loki has told you how amazing I am." Penny has a wide smile and Ana laughs.

          "No, he hasn't." Ana answers turning away from me yet again, and I don't like it. I take the opportunity to take her in.

          "..aye Loki?" Penny and Ana raise their eyebrows at me. Have I just totally zoned out?

          "What?" I reply shaking away my thoughts.

          "We should go to the bar across the street, I'd love to take Ana!" Yeah I'd like to as well.

          Penny bounces on the spot and grabs Ana's arm.

          "Fine." I reply curtly as we all get up off the table.

          She looks even better standing up. I can see her long legs and her interesting choice of shoes. I really can't shake this girl out of my head, even when she's sitting right next to me. I need to get her back to our apartment tonight, somehow. I can't take much more of not being able to touch her.
