Change of plans.

Chapter 10.

"Still fascinated by these eyes after all the years?"
Loki gave her a charming smile, " What do you think?, but don't put all the blame on me you're looking pretty fascinated yourself."
Alayra returns a smile and starts to blush slightly, "You could say that, but I'm actually looking for answers."
Loki gives as smirk, " You're gonna have to look closer than that."
" Well maybe if  you let me go,I can come closer."
"I could let you go, but your holding me as well."
" Good point, alright, we'll let each other go on the count of 3."
"Okay."
They start to count. 1...2...3...
They both start to laugh.😅
" Loki, why didn't you let go?"
" I don't know, why didn't you let go."
They both stood in silence and just stared into each other's eyes.

Loki's pov.
I know the answer to her question, but I don't want to admit it, not even to myself, but since the day I left Okaydo , I couldn't stop thinking about her. Her blood red eyes kept me awake at night, I couldn't get them out of my dreams, the dreams what soon turned into nightmares for leaving her without telling her how I feel. The feeling was ripping into me, I was about to lose my mind....

When I saw her today, I was surprised to she her, I wasn't expecting the King to give her the mission,but a part of me was so happy she was the one who got the mission . Although I felt happy , the first thought that came to my mind, was I can't lose her,
I can't let go again.

Alayra's pov.
I know the answer to his question, I can admit. I was secretly heart broken when he left our planet. I thought about him during training every day. I missed the way he could beat everyone but me. The smile he gave me when he knew I would win him, again. I thought about him every night, those beautiful eyes like diamonds in the sky 🌌 of my dreams. I would do anything to have him back, but I am afraid that what I am about to do to this Kingdom will ruin everything between us.
I really wish there was another way.
*****************
Alayra slowly starts to let go of Loki's neck, but Loki couldn't, he was to afraid to lose her again.
" Loki, please let go of my neck."
" I can't."
Alayra's gave a small smile and says joking," Why not, you don't want me to go?"
Loki kept silent for a moment, should  he tell her or keep quiet? " Yes."
Alayra's smile turned brighter by the second. She took both her hands and used her strength to take his hand of her neck , but she didn't let go of his hand, " I don't want to go either."
Loki turned back to his normal appearance and placed his other hand on her cheek,
" Then don't."

Their getting there, jayyy!
Sorry is so short, but hope you enjoyed it.
