Hello! This is my first fanfic to upload to this website. I must admit i am used to writing screenplays so bear with me. This story is set before The Avengers. -All Marvel characters belong to, well Marvel- It does contain adult humour so you have been warned. Also rated M for future sexual scenes. Please Review, i'd really appreciate the feedback. I hope this is an enjoyable read.
The first thing you should know about me is that i'm human. An ordinary, tax paying human being of planet Earth who just happened to get herself mixed up in bad situations. Well, i'd say i'm normal, appearance and intellect wise. Everyone has a past, and everyone has a future, it's the decisions you make that's just one more step towards that main goal you want in life whether it's a career you enjoy, that country cottage you've always wanted or a partner who loves and adores you that you end up spending the rest of your life with, with the company of a dozen bouncing babies of course.
I envy every single person who has pursued their dreams, saved for that cottage and found that great love, and most of all found their self. I wish i could feel the way they do. Love. I have no idea what it means or what it feels like. Until now, i may just be getting somewhere and today is the day that may just change my life, for the better or the worse.
...
It was just another day in that slow city that no one seemed to like but no one ever made any effort to leave either. I sat back in my chair taking in the scenery of the cafe' i have come to love, the books surrounding it, the people indulging in their own conversations and the smell of coffee brewing, then my eyes landed on my 3 best friends. I was going to miss them so much, they were my family. My attention was suddenly brought back to our conversation. -
"All i'm saying is, if having a baby is so hard, how do you explain all the crying children on planes?", Ah Amber, she was the first friend i made when i came to this city and one of the most intelligent women i have ever met. Her fiery personality goes with her burning red hair. What i loved most about her was that she spoke her mind, something i wish i did more often.
"It's the mothers, have you seen them, they are not even of age, and there's people like me, consulting adults with adequate homes and well-paid jobs who have been trying for years to have children with not luck and these underage girls are popping them out all over the place. It's just not fair". Shannon wasn't even in a relationship at the moment but she saw it as her life's ambition to become a mother. She had such a big and good heart that believed there is such a thing as love and to live 'Happily Ever After' with our 'Soul mates' surrounded by the 'perfect children'.
"Can we stop with the discussion about babies and bring our attention to that lovely security guard in those magnificently tight pants. I'm gonna shoplift just so he can feel me up". Where do i even start with Lisa. Well, we met in college and we have been the best of friends since. She's a little older than all of us and unlike Shannon believes that 'women are for friendship and men are for sex'. Over everything she cares for her friends and would do anything for us, even if it's just to make us smile, which she never failed to do.
"Guys, guys. There is a reason why i asked you to meet me you know. Although Lisa's got a point", i said while leaning slightly to get a better view of the security guards plump rear.
They let out a little laugh and gave me their full attention.
"Look, i wanted you all here to tell you that i'm going away for a while", I said giving an individual look at each of them.
"A while? Like 2, 3 weeks?", Amber asked.
"Well, i'm not exactly sure, remember i told you about that guy i met?," i replied shyly looking up through my lashes.
"How could we forget", Shannon smirked, "What's his name again?"
I took a gulp, "Thor"
"Thor? Thor...Thor...Th...orrrr... what an odd name", Amber said letting the name roll off her tongue.
"Well, i'm going to meet his family and they don't exactly live...here", they all looked at me strange until Shannon questioned, "What, like a different country?"
"Ummm, yeah Yeah they live in...ummm, Greece. They retired there", close enough, "I'm so nervous, what if they don't like me? What if his friends hate me, and his brother, i have to meet his brother! They're probably gonna get together and talk about me-"
"You're thinking this over way too much, just enjoy yourself", Lisa stopped me mid-sentence with a raised hand and a calming voice. But what she didn't know was who exactly his family and friends were.
"Wait a minute", Amber interrupted, "You've only known this guy for like what, a month?"
Lisa looked up, "It's slim pickings out there, you can't swing your purse without knocking over five losers. Catch him while you can"
"Look, i like him he's a good guy, he's brave, righteous and makes me happy. I've never met anyone like him", I gave a small smile.
"And honey, you should see him. Show them the picture of you both", Lisa says turning from Amber to me with a grin. I laughed and took out my phone, getting up the picture i had taken of us just before Thor went home.
"Ohhhhhh", Amber and Shannon sighed in unison.
"Are you sure you don't just like him because he's the size of two men?," Amber said raising an eyebrow.
My mouth dropped in shock, "Of course not, you know that's not me. I'm just glad he likes me back", although his handsome good looks were something not to be overlooked.
"Why wouldn't he like you back?", Lisa asked confused, "You're a total catch, you're gorgeous, funny, intelligent and very sexy", she winked.
"Try telling that to my ex", I responded looking down.
"It's time to forget your past and put him in your review mirror. This guy could be you're knight in shining armour", Shannon inquired while putting her hand over mine. I let a smirk escape my lips to what she had said. The truth is, Thor literally was my knight in shining armour. He was a Prince, a God from another world, and he saved my life. You see about a month ago, Thor was sent to Earth to retrieve this thing called 'The Tesseract'. I had been working with this company that held this so called threatening weapon that holds the energy to destroy planets. Well, long story short, the people wouldn't hand it over to him so he had to take it by force, i helped him out seeing as i didn't trust the people i worked with and didn't want them messing with it ending in them making the Earth implode on itself. With my help Thor didn't have to harm anyone...too badly. I let him stay with me while on Earth and we came up with strategies on how we could get it back and after time i kind of, well, fell for him. I've never met anyone like him and my life was going nowhere I feel like my life is just starting and it's going to be an exciting one.
My names Carmen. I'm 21 years old, 5"7, brown hair, brown eyes and unemployed. When i joined college i was forced by my father to take Physics, which i had only a little interest in, that's why my first ever job (which was over before i new it) was in electro-optics. Sure i enjoyed learning and working with scientists, it's all fascinating; however my heart lies in writing. Since i was a little kid I've been writing short stories and being with Thor feels like i'm living a fantasy, which is the best thing in the world in my mind, although i'd sound a lunatic if i ever told anyone about him. The truth anyway.
"Wait, wait, WAIT!", my attention was once again brought back by Shannon flailing her arms about, "Does this mean you're not going to be my date anymore to that dinner party you promised you'd go to?"
"I don't know. It's two weeks away so i may be back. I really don't know, i'm sorry Amber"
"It's fine, just try and get back if you can. Knowing my luck i'll be the only one their without a date"
"I hate it when you're the only single at a dinner party and they all look at you like you´re a- "
I interrupted Shannon, "Loser?"
"Leper", Amber added.
"Whore", Lisa ended.
We all laughed out loud until i caught a glance at the clock and sprung from my chair, "Jesus is that the time? I've got to get going, i haven't even packed. Look girls i'll try to be back as soon as i can. I love you all", i said bending down to each of my friends to plant a kiss on their cheek. They all waved and wished me luck giving me wink as i left the cafe'.
After spending the afternoon packing i took one last look around my small flat, not knowing the next time i'll be back here again. I was a little sad but even more excited, i was going to Asgard, going to meet my boyfriend's family...who were Gods...i'm dating a God. I stood there as a million thoughts went through my head like i was being told for the first time. I shook my head briskly and picked up my suitcase to make my way outside to hail a cab.
After a short ride the cab dropped me just off the main road, just a short walk to where i said goodbye to Thor the first time he was here. I made my way to the circular engravings in the dirt and stood beside it waiting for a sign of his arrival. After a few minutes of sitting on top of my suitcase the sun started to disappear and the blue sky was replaced with dark grey clouds that started to swirl together as thunder roared and light flickered in the sky. I stepped back and covered my eyes with my arm to stop dirt getting at me as the wind started to blow heavier. I heard a thud as it went silent. I took my arm from my face to see Thor.
There he was, all 6"5 of him dressed in his Asgardian armour. In his hand he held his trusty hammer by his side, his golden blonde hair was still swaying as the wind slowed landing on his broad shoulders, his large red cape did the same as it settle down by his ankles. A wide smile spread across his face and i returned it just before running up to him flinging my arms around his neck. His giant arms wrapped around me picking me off the ground.
"I've missed you", I whispered into his ear. He brought my face in front of his and gently placed a kiss on my lips.
"And i you, my lady Carmen", he replied in his deep, humble voice. I blushed, still not used to being addressed as such, "Are you ready to leave and see Asgard?"
"I've never been more ready", I beamed as i quickly grabbed my suitcase and ran back into his arms. The storm started again, dirt swirled around us as Thor held his hammer up in the air. I shut my eyes, burying my face in Thor's chest as i felt myself go weightless.
