Chapter ten (Drunken Sex…. Almost)
"C'mon, Loki, let's go get something to drink." We walked; fairly close I might add which I wasn't complaining about, to my dad's kitchen. I grabbed two beers and handed one to Loki.
"Hey there kiddo, and Loki!" my dad shouted.
"Hey dad," I said smiling. I elbowed Loki to make sure he got the hint to say something back.
"Hello the Man of Iron." Loki stated coldly. I glared at him and then turned back to my dad.
"Nice party!" I complimented him.
"Thanks Aubree, hope you guys enjoy yourselves." He said walking off. Loki and I drank our beers without saying a word.
"You wanna dance?" I asked him. He nodded and we walked into the crowd of people. I was starting to get a somewhat small buzz from my beer and when you're you usually do dumb shit. So, me being me, I started grinding on Loki. He looked at me somewhat confused and frightened at my sudden change of mood, but soon got the hint that this was supposed enjoyable for the both of us. Loki didn't dance much…. he mostly just stood there, with his hands placed on either side of my hips, and let me grind against him. After a while I walked back into the kitchen and got another beer. I drank a total of six before Loki forced me to stop.
"Why don't you want me have fun?" I asked, slurring every single word that came out of my drunken mouth.
"I want you to have fun, but I don't want you to regret anything…. Like you are always telling me, be good and don't do anything stupid." He said laughing a little. I couldn't take it any longer, so I grabbed his hand and pulled him behind me through the hallways and into a guest room. We walked inside and I locked the door. Just because I was drunk didn't mean I couldn't comprehend what was happening, let's just say the alcohol made me a little braver.
"So Loki, are you enjoying yourself?" I asked him. I placed my hands on his chest and pushed him backwards. His legs hit the bed frame, causing him to fall on the bed: even better!
"What are you doing Aubree?" he asked me. At this point I couldn't tell whether or not he was scared or confused, and honestly I didn't care.
"Something you know the both of us wanted: very badly. Loki Laufeyson…. Kiss me." I stated boldly.
"You are drunk, and I refuse to do anything with, or to, you while you are intoxicated. I do not want to be blamed for anything." Loki said staring straight back into my eyes.
"Trust me, Loki, I won't blame you for anything…. I'll only blame you if you choose not to do anything with me." I winked at him and leaned in closer to his ear. "If you don't want to, I will not force you. But I swear to god Loki I will kiss you, and more, sooner or later."
"Aubree, you are very drunk…. Please let's just go home, I think it's safer if we do." He said gently pushing me off of him. I was pissed, yes, but I tried not to let it show. We walked over to Pepper Pots, my "mom" even though I honestly don't believe she's my mom, and asked her to drive us home. Pepper didn't drink much whenever I came over to my dad's parties because she knew I'd always need a ride home. She gladly agreed to drive us and about fifteen minutes later Loki and I were back at my apartment.
"Loki, why won't you kiss me?" I asked him, sitting on my bed. He joined me, yet sat somewhat of a distance away from me.
"I do not want you to fall for me, Aubree, I only want to keep you safe." He replied simply.
"I am safe! All I want is for you to kiss me."
"Aubree, let's go to sleep…. We can talk about this in the morning." I nodded, still very pissed off, and got up from the bed to change my clothes. I put on a pair of baggy sweatpants and a tee shirt, not caring that Loki was in the same room as me while I was changing. I climbed back into bed and got under the covers. Loki left for a couple minutes and when he returned he was in the same sweatpants I gave him to wear yesterday, but had no shirt on. He climbed in bed with me and I snuggled up against his chest.
"Loki I have a question….." I said trailing off.
"Let's get some sleep, you can ask me in the morning. Good night Aubree." He said soothingly.
"Night Loki." I said trailing off and falling into a deep, peaceful slumber.
