Chapter 3

The next morning Loki woke up and took a quick shower and got dressed. He wore a green V neck t-shirt, sleek black pants, and a leather jacket, with a baseball cap on. He put on some Black cologne and walked out the door. He knew exactly where he was going; he had asked Luke the night before where Elizabeth lived.

Loki walked up what seemed like never ending stairs to the fourth floor. Elizabeth's door was the first door on the left. It had tape on it where someone had stuck something on it. There was a piece of paper still stuck on one of pieces of tape. Loki peeled it off wondering what people put on their doors. He then raised his hand to knock on the door when it opened.

A girl in dark blue scrubs was standing there looking up. She had shoulder length hair that was dark brown almost black. She was two inches shorter than Elizabeth with glasses. She looked a little surprised but unfazed. Loki looked a little more surprised.

"Well hello there." The girl said.

"Hello, does this happen often?" Loki said

"No, but there's always a first time for everything." The girl answered.

"I just came by to see if Elizabeth is here. My name is Lo- gan by the way." Loki said

"Are you sure? You paused there." The girl said sarcastically

"Ha, yeah I'm sure." Said Loki, "You know how it is sometimes you forget your name."

"Yeah, I do." The girl said, "Oh to answer your question yes, she is."

"Thank you." Said Loki

"But she's asleep." Said the girl

Elizabeth turned in her bed smiling. She had dreamed about the night before and instead of walking away from Loki when he leaned down to kiss her she kissed him back. It felt as if he were there saying "Elizabeth wake up" in her dreams. Then she snapped her eyes open knowing it was too loud to just be in her head. But it was in her head Loki just wasn't right there in front of her. Elizabeth sat up in bed hitting her head on the top bunk above her.

"Ow!" Loki and Elizabeth's roommate heard her yell.

"Not anymore." Loki smirked

The roommate looked quizzically at Loki and then said "I have to go before I'm late for work." Loki then moved out of the way and let her pass. Then he stepped in and shut the door. He looked down and smiled at himself waiting for what was to come. He then looked up right as Elizabeth came storming out of her room with malice in her eyes.

"Loki!" she screamed as she rushed at him.

"And good morning to you; how were your dreams? Loki laughed

"I don't think I need to tell you that!" Elizabeth growled at him.

"Are we always going to start like this?" Loki asked as he cocked his head at her.

Before Elizabeth could answer two of her roommates came out to see what the racket was about. She turned to look at them turning redder than a tomato. They stopped in their bleary eyed wake when they saw the tall black haired man standing in the middle of their kitchen. And then they saw Elizabeth standing by him. They looked from one to the other. Finally one of them piped up.

"What's going on, who is this? She asked.

"Oh, this is Logan. Logan this is Jane and Olivia. We have two others Lacey and Jin Tei. You probably saw Lacey leaving." Elizabeth said once her composure came back.

"Hi." Said Jane; she was the one who had asked the questions.

"Hello." Replied Loki

Olivia waved tiredly. Loki nodded back. Olivia then went back to bed. Jane stayed out and looked at Elizabeth and Loki still wondering what was going on. She wasn't going to probe though she wasn't that type of person. She knew Elizabeth would talk when she was ready. And Jane knew it never took long for Elizabeth to tell her. Although when she was acting strange last night she didn't say anything; which wasn't like her. But Jane was pretty sure it had something to do with Logan.

"I didn't answer your first question. Logan is here because we're looking for an apartment he can live in." Elizabeth said. "It's just that I woke up and I didn't notice he was here when I came in to get breakfast."

"Oh, that's why you were screaming; but I thought I heard you say Loki." Said Jane.

"No, I said Logan, I just said it really fast." Elizabeth said

"That makes sense considering you talk really fast." Contemplated Jane

"Yep." Elizabeth smiled.

Jane then went back to her room and shut the door. Elizabeth then turned and gave Loki the death stare. Loki just gave her an innocent look and shrugged at her. He had taken a seat at the table.

"That was too close; they heard me say your name." Elizabeth hissed

"It's a good thing you're a good liar then." Said Loki

"But I don't lie…"

"Ah, ah, ah, you're lying again. I should know I am the master of lies." Loki sneered.

Elizabeth just looked at him with frustration. She hated being wrong and right now she was. She couldn't think of anything to do but stick her tongue out at Loki. It was childish but Elizabeth didn't care right now. Loki had once again won out and this time he really had surprised her. One thing he was right about was the fact that Elizabeth did hate surprises.

"You really don't take defeat well. Just like your friend Luke." Loki pointed out.

"Oh, and you do? At least I don't pout like Luke though; I have to laugh every time he does." Elizabeth smiled.

"What is it with you and Luke anyways? Are you together or something?" Loki ignored the accusation.

"Why do you ask that?" asked Elizabeth quizzically

"He just seemed a little discouraged yesterday." Loki said. "I asked him where you lived and he was reluctant to say."

"Oh, he was still just peeved that we beat him at his own game; isn't hard to do. And he is protective sometimes; plus he didn't trust our story." Elizabeth said, "We have a rocky friendship. We are literally like brother and sister and we fight like siblings too."

"Ah, the love - hate relationship. Sometimes you get along just fine other times you can't stand each other." Loki said.

"Yeah, and we both know what that's like." Elizabeth said.

Loki nodded and put his fore fingers on his lips. He just sat there staring straight ahead. He looked sad and hurt. Elizabeth was going to bring the question about being a bad loser but thought otherwise. She walked over to Loki and rubbed his back. He looked up and smiled at her.

"I'm sorry I was just thinking. You're right I'm a poor sport too." Loki said

"It's alright, you were thinking about home and everything that's happened to you. I just wish you would let it go. You need to learn to forgive." Elizabeth said

"It's not that simple." Retorted Loki

"I know I have a hard time with it too. We can work on it together." Elizabeth comforted him.

Loki's mood changed immediately. He stood up and took Elizabeth by the shoulders smiling down at her. Elizabeth trembled inside. She didn't know what was going on and she didn't know what to do about it. All she could do was look into Loki's beautiful forest green eyes. He was about to give her a hug when both their stomachs growled.

"Would you like to join me for breakfast?" Elizabeth asked

"I would love to." Loki smiled his brilliant, glittering, white smile.
