Chapter 4
After yesterdays incident, you and Daniels shifts where spaced furthest apart. He would do the night shift for about 6 hours with his partner (12am – 6am) then another pair (6am to 12pm) then you (12pm to 6pm) then another couple (6pm to 12am). The shifts are supposed to be done in pairs but you managed to persuade your instructor that they could 'trigger you' . Your winning argument was that Loki's cage is sound proof unless you turn on the communicator.
Today would also be the first proper start to your job, it was easy enough just sit there for 6 hours and make sure he doesn't do anything and if he does, just report it! You thought about bringing your iPod with you but if you got caught you would be fired, anyway you always just watch that gorgeous man. Now that you think of it, you have the best job ever! You get paid to look at that man! You checked your watch 11:50am it read. You decided to start to make your move, but you put a bit more lip gloss than you would normal wear… for no clear reason… *cough*
You made your way to Loki's cell, and as it was almost lunchtime, you remembered you had to bring him food as well during your shift. On your way you awkwardly walked past Daniel who was sitting with an ice pack place on his lap. You quickened your pace but you let out an audible giggle. You felt his hatred burn but you didn't give a shit.
You finally got to the huge room which inside held Loki's cell. You didn't really take time to notice it yesterday, so you made the effort to analyze the structure now. The room was completely white except from Loki's glass and metal cell. It was truly spectacular; it looked unbreakable and if you had money to spare you would bet on it. You waved at the guards who had the shift before you. One of them said, "Have fun, it's literally sit and do nothing for six hours."
You let out a gentle smile and said your goodbyes. When they left the room you turned round to look at Loki. He sat with his legs crossed facing the other way; he had not noticed you yet.
You made your way to his cell, on the side there was a small speaker labeled 'Microphone' and underneath there was an on and off switch. "Simple enough" you said to yourself as it was only you and the imprisoned prince in the room.
You flicked the switch on,
"Loki?" You said sheepishly
Almost instantaneously he span around and stood up.
"Ah it's you, the kind midgardian."
You blushed at his compliment.
"I was wondering what you would like for lunch."
"You are giving me choice?" Loki asked with a hint of disbelief.
"Yes… It is your lunch." You said matter of fact-ly.
Loki smiled adorably (well you thought it was adorable, well every smile was adorable to you!)
"I knew you were kind. I saw it in your eyes yesterday."
You began blushing even more.
"Are the other guards not kind then?"
"No. They haven't even fed me yet. I thought that was part of my punishment."
"I will bring you some extra food then, but I must ask what would you like? I think Stew is on the menu today."
"I think that is just for the workers."
"Do you like stew?"
Loki just stood there amused.
"Well?"
"Yes I do."
"Then stew it is."
Wait, you are not even supposed to talk to him let alone ask what he wants! You bellowed in your mind. But it was just part of your nature to try to befriend everyone you meet. Well except from horny dick heads like Daniel. "Try and keep in professional" you repeated under your breath.
You made your way to the cafeteria, making sure someone was guarding Loki. You got 2 bowls of stew and managed to smuggle about 6 bread rolls in your pockets. You dashed back to Loki as fast as you could without spilling any. The guard who took over for you asked "Two bowls?!" You simply replied, "I haven't eaten properly since I got here. I'm so hungry!"
"Same! That is a good idea actually."
"Thanks for taken over for me"
"No problem" the female guard replied. You made a mental note to befriend her. You went up to turn his speaker on.
"Quite the talented liar!" Loki commented after the girl guard had left.
"Ha thanks." You said whilst settling your bowl on the ground.
"Oh and I also smuggle some extra rolls"
You went to the hatch next to the speaker to hand Loki his food. You passed the tray though and Loki took it and placed it on his small nailed down table. He came back to retrieve the rolls, his hands stuck out of the hatch like a zombie. You took 3 rolls from your pocket and placed them in Loki's hands, before you could move your hands away a loose grip fastened around the rolls and your finger tips.
"Why do you treat me with such fondness?" Your eyes met once again.
"Because, I have no reason not to. You have been kind towards me and I treat people the way they treat me." You replied coolly.
"Thank you, Mea Cara."
"What does that mean?"
"It means: my dear"
For the billionth time you blushed like a young schoolgirl. Loki let out a small laugh and took one roll at a time. Oh you loved that laugh, the deep chuckle made you feel happy and warm inside. You thought how such a man could do such horrible things, there must be a reason. You left your hands in the hatch waiting for his return. On the last trip to take the last roll you felt Loki's left hand hold your free hand. His thumb lightly brushed over your hand, sending pleasurable shivers through your body.
He leaned his face closer to yours. The glass separating you. Suddenly he kneeled down and placed a small kiss on your hand before taking his roll and sitting down to eat.
"Erm" you mumbled in shock.
Loki just laughed. And said
"Eat. The stew is getting cold." You closed the hatch and did just that.
