Jane had her arms wrapped around Loki's neck and his hands resting on her waist as they slowly turned at the sound of the soft music playing in the distance, her head rested on his chest, part of her secretly listening for a heartbeat but all she heard was silence in his chest. It kinda unnerved her since she was well, used to being around humans.
She felt as if she was on cloud-nine ever since Loki admitted he loved her too. But something about all of this felt, weird. Jane had being feeling weird ever since she before she met Loki, she felt the same way when she woke up that one morning to meet Darcy.
Not to mention Loki's been going out later than usual, coming back just as she woken up from her little cat-naps she took daily. She usually had dreamless sleeps, but tonight she dreamt about Loki and his smiling face.
"Somethings troubling you." Loki pointed out softly against the top of her head, Jane broke out of her revere and tilted her head to see Loki's worried face. Jane took a deep breath before speaking.
"Kind of, I just have a lot of things on my mind."
"Like?" Loki questioned curiously gently picking Jane off the ground with ease and spinning her around slowly then setting her back down gracefully causing Jane to giggle softly hiding her face in Loki's shirt.
Jane could keep the smile off her face as she looked up at Loki's amused face who looked right back. "Like, When I arrived at Darcy's everything was normal, but she seems off somehow." Jane said her eyebrows furrowed in concentration. Loki swallowed hard and parted his lips. "Perhaps she was suspicious."
"Maybe so.." Jane trailed off in thought, trying to look for a logical reason for why her friend was off. She wondered that if she called Erik would he even recognize her voice?
"You mustn't worry yourself about that now, my dear Jane, for right now lets just enjoy each other." Loki advised gently stroking his fingertip against Jane's cheek making her sigh softly, the worry slowly melting off her. Loki was right, she'll need to figure that out later. Right now she just wanted to be held and relaxed.
Darcy sat at her computer, munching away on a huge chocolate chip muffin she got at this new London shop they had just opened. As she chewed she clicked on various things, what's going on with her favorite celebrities, the weather.
Jane had seemed different when Darcy had saw her, since when did Jane darken her hair? Jane hated doing girly things like that. And even weirder that Jane had missed coming to the house that they shared when she first arrived like they planned, and Jane's messages she texted Darcy did'nt ease her worries any less. Something had happened to Jane, Darcy felt it in her chocolate muffin crumb filled gut.
Darcy frowned while she sipped her sweet tea. She knew Jane would make up an excuse and wouldn't tell her what was really up. Darcy picked up her phone and dialed a number and held it up to ear. "Hey, Erik? it's me, Darcy...I need your help figuring out something, we're gonna play detectives.."
"I know. How was I supposed to know I was gonna fall for her?" Jane heard Loki hiss from the kitchen on the phone that made her stop in her tracks and hide behind a wall, listening intently.
"Just give me alittle more time. yes, I'm well aware we don't have much more time, then we can do it. I pray she won't hate me either, its unlikely though...thank you my friend." Loki said sadly then sighs tiredly leaning the phone away and pressing the 'end' button.
What is he talking about?
"I know you're there. There's not many people who can sneak up on me." Loki said in an amused tone turning around to see Jane with her lips parted, she came out of her hiding place with a small uneasy smile. "Now that I can believe, who was that?"
Loki clenches his jaw and leans against the counter naturally. "Just a friend."
Jane's smile fades and she crosses her arms.
"You mentioned me, you know I heard you...first Darcy now you're acting strange too. Just tell me what's going on.''
"It's none of your concern-" Loki starts but Jane cuts him off.
"My name. My concern." Jane said firmly with no hesitation keeping her eyes on Loki.
Loki noticed her brown eyes lighting up in an unearthly way that he found awfully lovely, even if it's just the vampire effect in her.
Loki couldn't tell her. Even though Loki's always the one to spill the beans and make someone made and upset, in this situation he couldn't.
"Later, I swear to you, Jane Foster." is all Loki says earnestly taking a step toward her. Jane's eyebrows crease into worry, after a few moments of silence, no matter how much she just wants to know what the hell is going on, she lets it go... for now.
"Okay, I trust you, Loki." Jane complies softly with a sigh glancing away. What could he possibly be hiding? she's sure it couldn't be any stranger than what's happened over the course of these three weeks.
Loki smiles but it doesn't quite reach his eyes, murmuring softly. "I'll try and keep those words in mind, Jane."
Jane bites the inside of her cheek, taking in his words and trying to decode what he meant by that, sometimes it feels like Loki always speaks in riddles and metaphors. Loki goes over and takes her hand gently leading her to the living room. "How about I read to you? I have plenty books that will surely peak your interest as they do mine."
Jane follows him and raises her eyebrows up in curiosity following him. "Really? What kind of books do you have?"
Loki smiles fondly and sets her down on the couch and opens his palm and a book suddenly materializes in his hand, Jane's eyes widen in amazement.
"You can make things appear? I thought you were a vampire."
Loki chuckles and sits beside her, then pulls her into his lap in one movement. "Full of questions today are we?"
Jane laughs glancing down shyly and Loki places a soft kiss on her bowed head. "No need to be embarrassed, I like the fact you want to know more."
Jane lifts her head to smile at him wrapping her arm around his neck. "I like alot of things about you."
Loki smirks softly and slowly leans in, not being able to help himself and presses his lips on hers for once, gently. Jane answers back the kiss with her fingers knotting in his hair and her other hand trailing down his chest and down his stomach. Loki breaks the kiss with a breathless chuckle and turns his attention back to the book in his hand.
"Consider this kiss to be continued," Loki gives her a teasing look causing Jane to bite her lip, she can hardly wait.
"Now, vampires have different gifts, mine happens to be trickery and illusions and magic." Loki explains looking away, thinking about the conversation he had with his...friend.
"And as for this book, this is just a copy of Romeo & Juliet. I have other books but I'm afraid you wouldn't take much interest in those."
Jane looks at the read-covered book with the gold tilted words, she remembered seeing that book in stores but never really took the time to read it. She looked up at Loki a bit excitedly as he opens to a random page and starts reading softly.
Loki has an addictive voice, that much is clear. It's smooth and soothing, with a hint of playfulness and oddly arousing all at the same time. His voice could make a hundred babies go to sleep. Jane is practically in a trance as he reads paragraph after paragraph, taking small pauses and starting again to turn the page. She also takes in his face, he's got the whole pale thing down, with a just a tinge of color.
"And now you're staring at me." Loki states just as he finished a sentence his eyes flickering to her.
"You're interesting to look at." Jane counters with a shrug and a wide smile which Loki returns. "Why thank you, but you're more than pleasing to look at yourself." Loki said leaning in and playfully nipping at her lips causing Jane to laugh leaning back.
Loki laughs closing the book and tossing it to his other side then wraps both arms around Jane pulling her ontop of him causing her to yelp making Loki laugh more.
Jane's laughter ceases and she rests her head on Loki's chest slowly closing her eyes. "Thank you Loki.." Jane mumbles, now getting drowsy. Loki furrows his eyebrows, stroking her hair soothingly. "For what, Jane?"
"For, showing me being a blood-sucking demon isn't all bad if you have someone."
Loki slows his movements swallowing hard and nods once, whispering. "You're more than welcome.."
Hmmm, Who is this friend? and I'm sorry if this chapter seemed boring or weird or anything like that!
