He's going to ask me to dance, isn't he?
Loki was trying to get through all of the couples dancing the night away, and I can't help but get nervous. Just something about him makes my heart go crazy, and we haven't even said a word to each other.
He's almost made his way to me when a woman grabs his hands and pulls him into the crowd. She places her one hand on his shoulder and the other in his hand and they take off dancing to the fast music playing. What a bikkja!(Old Norse for bitch, I did some research) Wait, why am I so upset? Did I really want him to ask me to dance?
Then I remember that I told my soulmate to meet me at the garden and I wonder if he's still there, even after I told him I couldn't come.
"Darling, are you still at the garden?" I ask. I was a little embarrassed to be talking to my soulmate when my betrothed's brother was sitting right next to me, but he was talking to someone else at the bar.
'I'm afraid not, love, I got a little preoccupied myself. Would you still like to meet there? I can tell this hag to get off of me..' I laugh a little at his comment.
"If you can, I'll make my way over as well."
I thank Thor and get up. Of course the only way over there is through the dancers, I can only hope I don't get interrupted.
And of course, I never get what I want. A noble man grabs my hand and waist and starts dancing with me. So we'll play this game, huh? I dance with the man until we reach a couple closer to where I need to go when I see Loki. He's dancing with a new woman now and I can see he has the same idea.
Switching from man to man, I end up in the arms of Frigga as we dance. She seems nice. Kind eyes, gentle hands and a wicked talent for dancing. She looks at me with a look I get from my own mother a lot, looking over me, trying to see if anything's wrong.
"Darling, is everything alright?" she asks me in a kind tone. It just makes me feel worse for trying to find my soulmate before marrying her son.
"Yes, your majesty, I believe I'm quite alright. Just trying to enjoy myself," I blush a bit, obviously embarrassed.
She smiles and looks in another direction and winks. I look where she's looking and see my mother, talking with Loki. What are they planning? I see my mother wink and once we're close to the other couple, Frigga hands me to Loki and her and my mother start dancing again like best friends.
Loki looks down at me, one hand in mine and the other on my waist, my other hand on his shoulder. It's not like I haven't done this tonight, just something about doing it with him makes my stomach flutter with butterflies. I blush and he chuckles. I shouldn't be feeling this way! I was literally on my way to meet my soulmate. He's about to say something when I let go and walk towards the garden. Which was way easier when people see an upset princess.
Finally at the garden, I find a bench in a small area in the rose bushes that not many people know about. I don't even think father knows.
"I'm here, where are you?" I ask, guilty for feeling.. feelings.. for another man.
'Still on my way, is everything alright?' he asks, and I can tell he's genuinely worried.
"Nothing you need to worry about, my love."
I can hear him sigh and practically hear him shake his head in a playful annoyance to which I giggle at.
'Then I will see you soon,' this makes my heart flutter again and all of the guilty feelings turn into excitement. Let's just hope nothing goes wrong again.
~Loki's POV~
Making my way over to the garden for the third time tonight, I come across an older woman standing and watching the crowd dance. She seems lost in thought, so I attempt to just walk past her but when she sees me she lights up and grabs my wrist. Great, just what I need.
"Oh your majesty, I've been looking for you all night long! Let me buy you a drink. I need to discuss some things with you." she says, already pulling me over to the bar where my oaf of a brother is telling some of his 'greatest' battle stories. Braggart, much?
"I'm deeply sorry but I'm actually trying to-" she cuts me off.
"No worries! It'll only be a second." she replies. I could cast an illusion, but she has her hand on my wrist still and my illusions aren't solids. I roll my eyes and sit with her as she orders me a drink I've never heard of.
"Your highness, I was meaning to talk to you about my daughter. She's a very nice girl and I think you two would be a great-" this time, it's my turn to cut her off. I drink whatever she ordered me in one gulp and get up.
"I'm deeply sorry, but I am already betrothed. I appreciate the drink however." And with that, I make my journey back to the garden.
Underneath the stars and the huge moon, I can see why she would want to meet here. It's truly beautiful. I can hear someone humming from behind a rose bush and I start walking around, hoping to find where she could be. I try to look like I'm simply on a stroll, just in case anyone else comes out here.
~Your POV~
I was sitting on the bench, waiting and humming a song my mother used to sing for me when I hear footsteps. I'm so excited, I can barely contain myself. That must be him!
"Hello?" I ask, trying to seem calm. Coming around the corner, I see a man. I look into his emerald green eyes as he looks into mine. It's just Loki. Is he my soulmate?
"Your majesty, I'm sorry I didn't know you would be here." I tell him. His eyes light up as if he had just met the love of his life and he opens his mouth to say something but no words come out. Great, just what I needed.
"Are you alright?" I ask him, now standing up in front of him. I look over him and realize I probably look like my mother doing her mom check. He nods his head and scoops me up into a hug and I just stand there, confused. What's going on?
He looks at me with such desperation in his eyes and leans in to kiss me but I quickly pull back.
"Excuse me! Just because we are to be betrothed does not mean you can just kiss me. I'm actually here waiting for someone.." I say, blushing hard. He nods his head fast and points towards himself. What is he trying to say?
"Are you waiting for someone as well?" he nods again to my question but this time points to me.
"You're looking for me?" he nods again.
"What for?"
