Chapter Eight (Confessing My Love…. Kind Of)
I was awaken by the ear splitting sound of my alarm. My head was pounding with a hangover, but I still felt slightly buzzed. Slowly getting out of bed I went over to my closet and picked out my outfit for today. I walked into the bathroom, locked the door, and changed. I wore my usual outfit consisting of skinny jeans, a plaid button up shirt, and my favorite deep burgundy Dr. Martens. My hair look absolutely disgusting since I slept with it wet. I pulled it up into a messy bun, brushed my teeth, and turned the bathroom light off.
"Loki, where are you?" I asked suddenly afraid he may have escaped.
"In the living room." He answered. Thank god. "Aubree why won't you tell me about your 'ability'?" he asked me as I walked into the living room. I sat down next to him on my black leather couch, the fabric crunching underneath my weight.
"I will sooner or later, now isn't the right time though Loki. After you've answered the questions and shit S.H.I.E.L.D. is making me ask you then we can start with some 'training' as they call it. It's supposed to benefit the both of us, and trust me if you pay enough attention you might be able to figure it out." I stated. Loki looked at me solemnly and nodded.
"We better go shouldn't we?" he asked
"Yes sir, c'mon let's get this day finished!" I said standing up. I got instantly dizzy and wobbled a bit on my feet. Loki grabbed my shoulder to steady me.
"Well look who has a hangover…. You are probably going to want to disguise it a little bit. I do not believe S.H.I.E.L.D. would be happy with one of their agents not one hundred percent sane on the job: especially a minor." Loki said laughing a little.
"Shut up and let's go." Today was going to be a bad day, I can tell already. We got into my car and drove to the S.H.I.E.L.D. building. "C'mon Loki, we have to stop by my desk to see if I have any paperwork and then we're going to the same room as yesterday."
"Okay. Lead the way." We got out of my car and walked into the building. Weaving through hallways and desks we eventually reached mine. There wasn't anything new so we continued walking to the conference room that we first met in.
"Loki stay here, and be good. I have to go talk to someone…. If you even try to do something I swear to god I don't even know what I will do with you." I said.
"So that means I cannot—"he started but I cut him off.
"No, just sit here and wait until I come back. I won't be gone that long." I opened the door and walked out of the room. I walked into the bathroom and pulled out my cell phone, finding my dad's contact, and calling him.
"Hello?" I heard my dad say.
"Dad I need to tell you something." I told him quietly.
"Aubree, are you okay?" he asked concerned.
"Yes dad, now I seriously need you to listen to me. It's really important."
"What's wrong kiddo?"
"I- I think I'm…. I think I'm…. I'm in love." I almost whispered into the phone.
