Finding Eternity in Your Arms
Chapter One
When we set off that morning myself, Frigga and Sadie we were so excited. We had been planning this for months between us. Frigga had found out the shooting times of Thor Two in London and that they needed volunteer extras for some scenes. Tom and Chris in London filming and we weren't going to go? Are you insane!
Even when we had to be up at 5am to get there in time! We bundled ourselves into Frigga's car and myself, and Sadie dozed most of the way. I was so excited to be meeting the guy I found the most sexy in the whole wide world. Mixed with a dose with a bone crushing terror that I was gonna freak out or faint or do something to make a fool out of myself. Frigga had already told me if I passed out she would leave me there. Sadie was talking about kiss raping the guy. My plan was simple, hide behind them, enjoy the body work and not say a single word. The rock music blared out of the car windows, we were chatting, and laughing, I felt so amazingly free.
Three months had passed since I had started my new life, walked away from my boyfriend of nearly eight years. Once I would have died for him, now I only felt hatred at how he had trapped me. Sadie and I had moved in together as friends, it was only a tiny place, but it was ours and ours alone. No one would ever hurt me again like he had.
Finally I was starting to feel more like me again. Happier, more carefree, with the help of some good friends I was finally starting to heal. I took the candy bar I'd had thrown at me from the back seat and ate it slowly turning my blackberry on to view my fb pages.
It was such a simple perfect day. How was I to know that it would change my life forever.
My phone beeped as I logged on, an invite to group chat. Two of my favourite roleplay partners were online, Loki Odinson and Thor of Asgard. I smiled dispite myself, I should have known they would check in on me today.
Loki messaged me, "I am so jealous, have a great time today!"
"I will " I typed back, "Here's hoping I don't faint in his arms or throw up!"
"Lady Justine, you are of Asgard nothing should frighten you princess?" Thor wrote.
"I wish Thor," I answered, "Sighs, I am going to be feet away from the sexiest man alive. I know damn well I am going to freak out."
"What about me sister?" Thor pouted.
"Sorry I don't do blondes." I typed back.
"So if I was the huntsman?" He asked.
I laughed, "Yes if you were the huntsman I would really have a hard time knowing where to look!"
"Justine just imagine him naked." Loki suggested.
I spluttered out the drink I was sipping, "THAT IS NOT HELPING!"
Loki laughed, "I am the God of Mischief! What else would you expect?"
"Git!" I typed back, looking up I realised we were nearly there. "I have to go." I messaged quickly.
"Are you there?" Thor asked.
"About five minutes away, I swear I'm shaking." I answered.
Loki sent a heart shape, "You are strong my love, you have been through worse then this. Just remember to be yourself and he will love you like I do!"
"I agree be that wonderful charming sister of mine." Thor wrote.
"Thanks boys, will send pictures later!" I promised logging off.
How was I to know that they were not whom they appeared to be? I'd known them both for over a year, was falling hard for the sweet talking Loki. Although I had promised the blackened husk of my heart that I would never date again. Somehow he was worming his way inside. We text each other now and then, but he worked long hours truck driving. Part of me longed to ask him to drop by when he was passing.
Then again on second look, were they exactly who they said they were? It depended how you looked at things, but wait I'm getting ahead of myself.
I climbed out of the car and followed the others. Dreamily taking in the wonderous sights around of me. The lights, camera, half built buildings. It was a different world, breath taking and exciting. I lingered behind the girls trying to take everything in. I must have looked like a kid in a candy store, for I certainly felt like one.
Frigga and Sadie were talking to some people and I bounced over to them, freezing in my tracks when I realised exactly who those people were. Frigga dragged me forwards as I drew back silently. "And this is my very good friend Justine. This is Tom and Chris, I am sure you will all get along fine."
Chris shook my hand and smiled, "Greetings Lady Justine of Asgard, my sister."
I couldn't say a word, was too much in shock to even realise there was only one person who ever greeted me like that. I just smiled weakly trying not to stare. I couldn't believe I was meer inches away from these sexy pieces of ass.
Tom smiled warmly and greeted me as well. "Welcome my sweet lady.". That smile, I could have died right then and there.
Frigga pinched me, "She's a little nervous, perhaps a tour around might loosen her tongue."
"That is an exellent idea." Chris answered, "Lady Frigga please come this way."
"Your guide is over there Sadie." Frigga commented pointing to Chris Evans standing waiting nearby.
"Oh goodie, see ya!" Sadie said running off leaving me and Tom alone together.
"HEY!" I complained as Sadie winked a goodbye at me.
"So you can actually speak my dear?" Tom joked.
"Erm yeah I do." I said blushing, looking at the floor or anywhere he wasn't. How could they run off and leave me here!
"I'm not going to bite." He promised, "Well not unless you ask me to."
I burst out laughing, "Maybe later?"
He smiled and took my arm to lead me around. Pointing out the sights, filling in the awkward silence by telling me all about the scenes and the out takes they had filmed. Keeping close by me at all times, slowly I started to relax and chat back. Asking little questions and trying to engage in the conversation.
I saw Sadie in the distance with her guide watching me and I waved. My phone beeped and I sneakily read the text. "Get a room you two." I scowled at her and followed Tom as he brought me to the weapons tent.
I was in sheer heavon looking at the wracks and wracks of weapons. Running my hands over the swords and maces. Adoring the bows, and quarter staffs, oh I could happily stay in here forever! I had always had a love for old weapons, spending a lot of my youth at reinactment fairs.
Tom watched my beaming smile as I explored the shelves, he'd finally broken through the ice to find the passionate girl underneath and for that he was truely greatful. He knew that she was shy, and she didn't trust easily, so he was trying to take it really slowly and carefully. "Sadie said you would enjoy it in here." He said smiling happily.
"Its wonderful!" I said bouncing around to the next shelf of 'toys', "All this history, all these wonderous pieces!". I picked up one of the Loki daggers and traced the delicate pattern on its hilt. A fine detail you couldn't see on the big screen.
"Do you like it?" He asked.
"I've never seen anything so wonderful in all my life!" I answered.
"Then keep it my dear, we have plenty." He promised.
"Oh I couldn't, its part of the film." I placed it back on the table respectfully. Then a small dark thought crossed my mind. "When did you speak to Sadie about me? You barely had a few minutes before I came over?"
Tom actually blushed, "I messed this up didn't I?"
"What's going on here? Why do I feel like I am being set up here?" I demanded, getting angrier. I didn't like to be played, and this was sounding way too fishy now for my liking.
