As he stepped into the warm little shop he couldn't stop himself from smiling a little, as the soft jazz music reached his ears, and the smell of freshly made coffee reached his nose.

Just like last time, he felt as though he stepped into a small living room that someone had opened for public use.

He took off his coat and made his way over the counter , checking if that girl Melissa was there. He frowned when he didn't see her behind the counter as usual.

He checked his watch, and was surprised to see it was already five past five. He shouldn't be surprised, it was already quite late, and from what he gathered she didn't work evenings. He ordered a cappuccino and had just taken a seat near one of the big windows, when he made eye contact with a guy sitting on the opposite booth to him. He was oddly dressed, with a baseball cap and leather jacket, and most peculiar the sunglasses on top of his nose. It had been a horrible day as far as weather went, not a ray of sunshine, so the decision to wear the sunglasses today seemed odd to Loki.

The guy broke eye contact first, and took a small black notebook from his pocket. He write something down swiftly and then put it away again, looking straight at Loki again. It was well getting awkward when suddenly the front door was swung open with force, and Loki's head snapped up to the maniac who had thrown open the door like that. Hardly to his surprise it was Mel, who stepped inside with a sheepish look on her face and ran straight to the counter, grabbing something mumbling a quick 'forgot my phone' to her co-worker, who just rolled her eyes.

She was already outside again before Loki could react, and he quickly gathered his stuff and ran out after her without thinking about it.

"Melissa!" He called out, stopping her and catching up to her. She was quite fast for such a small mortal.

Melissa smiled and met him halfway, stopping in front of the window to the coffee shop.

" Hi there Tom!" She greeted with a smile, wiping the hair out of her face.

"Hi, I saw you running in and eh, just thought I'd say hi." He stammered. Truth was he didn't really know why he went after her. She was about the only person he knew here.

Melissa laughed and quickly focused on his hair.

"I love what you've done with your hair." She said, reaching out to touch a small curl on top of his head. She had to stand on her toes to even reach his hair, and Loki smiled at her short height.

"Thank you, so how have you been?" he asked, trying to keep the conversation going.

"Great! Not much has happened since you saw me two days ago." She said with a smirk.

Loki laughed and shook his head, looking at his shoes.

"Yes we do seem to run into each other a lot. Don't we?" he agreed.

"So where we you off to in such a hurry?" he continued.

"Oh Shit! I was off to my apartment, my niece is waiting for me, I'd promised to take her out today!"

She said, already turning around again to leave.

She stopped halfway, and turned to Tom again.

"Would you like to join us?" She asked, giving him a smile.

Tom didn't have to think long about that, and started following her to her apartment, away from the coffee shop. Unaware of the piercing gaze of the man with the sunglasses, who had been staring at the couple the whole time.
