Chapter 38
In the garden underneath the willow tree Loki began to set everything on the table that he had created with his magic. It was getting dark by the time he finished. He started to create fairy lights with his magic and he began to hang the lights from the tree branches. Then suddenly Loki saw Leah coming over to him and he felt very nervous and also scared. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. It was too late to back out now. He smoothed his dark hair back and put a happy look on his face. Loki also saw that she was still holding his letter in her hand and he also noticed that she had been crying. He felt his heart break and he ran to her. Loki wrapped his arms around her and he held her close. He lifted her chin so he could look at her face and Loki saw that more tears were streaming down her cheeks. He began to wipe away her tears with his thumb. "Leah, my love, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Who hurt you or did I do something to hurt you again? If I did please forgive me my love?" Loki asked sadly for he didn't want to believe that he hurt her again. "Loki, these are happy tears. When I read your letter it was so very sweet and I knew that I had to come and see you my love and my future husband." Leah said happily. Loki kisses her lips and Leah kisses him in return and when they broke the kiss. Loki leaned in and he kissed her gently, Leah wrapped her arms around his neck burying her hands in his silky black hair returning the kiss. They slowly pulled back, "Does that mean I am forgiven?" He asked quietly. Leah tapped her chin, "We shall see love." She grinned as he led her to a chair and sat her down. Loki pours Leah a drink and he hand her the drink. Then he began to fix her a plate of her favorite foods. Loki placed the plate in front of her. He fixed himself a drink and then he fixed himself a plate and he sat down across from her.
"Loki, I talked to your mother." Leah said. Loki looked up from his food. His face fell, "O…oh…what did she say?" He asked. Leah thought for a moment then she remembers what Frigga had said, "Loki, your mother said "Please try and forgive you. You really love me." She said. He gives her a little smile. Loki took her hand in his and pressed a kiss to her palm, "Come. Lay with me here. I want to show you the stars." Leah laughed, "Loki love I can see them from here. And from my room window. Why is out here different?" He clucked, "You will see… you will see." He led her to a spot under a big oak tree and sat down patting the grass next to him for her to sit as well. Leah sighed and she sat down next to Loki and he wrapped his arm around her and he held her close and she lays down next to him. Loki pointed up at the sky, "See love?" Leah saw how bright the night sky was she saw the galaxies spin and the trillions of stars dancing and sparkling like so many diamonds in the night sky. She felt tears streaming down her cheeks. Leah turned around to look at him, "Loki… this is stunning." She whispered as more tears streamed down her cheeks. "Leah, sweetheart, why are you crying? What's wrong my love?" Loki asked.
"Loki, these are happy tears. I have never seen something so beautiful as this it is so amazing." She said. Then Leah hears the song "Stars Fly by: Malumi" playing inside her head and she started to sing the song.
"Lie with me underneath the trees
Quietly and I feel so at ease
Hold my hand and we'll walk by the stream
It's a spell and it feels like a dream
Watch the stars fly over the night sky
Wait for the sunrise over the dark
And your cheek smells musky and sweet
I swallow defeat and listen to your heart
And it beats boom da boom, da doom, boom da boom, da doom
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Boom da boom, da doom, boom da boom, da doom
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
There's a place we can be alone
No-one knows and it's far from home
Hold my hand, wipe the tears from my face
Get me drunk on your eyes, your embrace
Watch the stars fly over the night sky
Wait for the sunrise over the dark
And your cheek smells musky and sweet
I swallow defeat and listen to your heart
And it beats boom da boom, da doom, boom da boom, da doom
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Boom da boom, da doom, boom da boom, da doom
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Watch the stars fly over the night sky
Wait for the sunrise over the dark
And your cheek smells musky and sweet
I swallow defeat and listen to your heart
Watch the stars fly over the night sky
Wait for the sunrise over the dark
And your cheek smells musky and sweet
I swallow defeat and listen to your heart
Watch the stars fly over the night sky
Wait for the sunrise over the dark
And your cheek smells musky and sweet
I swallow defeat and listen to your heart"
Loki pulls her closer and he kisses her again, "Leah…that was beautiful." He said, his eyes welling up with tears. Leah looked down at her hands, "You really like it?" She asked. "Your voice. I fell in love with your voice you sang like an angel. He said softly trying to keep from letting the soft tears fall down his cheeks. Leah looked at Loki and she saw that he was nearly in tears, so she snuggled even closer to him and she wraps her arms around him. Before Loki could say anything he saw that Leah was sound asleep in his arms. He smiled at her and he too fell asleep. They stayed like that until the first rays of the sun began to peak out from behind the trees. Loki woke up early and he looked over at the peacefully sleeping girl in his arms and he decided that this was the best way to wake up every morning. Leah wakes up just after he does and while they are laying there together. "Loki, Leah there you two are the whole palace has been looking all over for you two we were worried that you both were missing. Loki, Mother has been up all night worried sick about you and Leah." Thor said. They scrambled out of each other's arms a little embarrassed that Thor saw them like that then they all go back to the palace so they can eat breakfast together.
