Chapter 4
The previous night
Sheila has agreed to meet her boyfriend Roger at the bar for drinks. She has been seeing him for a few weeks, ever since he approached her in the grocery store. He asked for her number and called her the next day to ask her out. He had told her he was divorced and just starting to date again. After a few weeks of dating Shelia is considering taking the relationship to the next level and sleeping with him. She hasn't been with anyone in over a year and although she is nervous, she felt this could be the night. This past year has been lonely, but she needed the time to heal, physically and emotionally.
At the bar, she has a couple drinks and is chatting with Roger and the bar tender when suddenly she is yanked off her stool from behind and thrown to the ground. "Fucking whore! Keep your dirty hands off my husband!" Screams a blonde a few inches shorter than Shelia's 5 foot 9 inches, but about 20 pounds heavier. From the floor Shelia looks to Roger for an explanation. "Don't even look at him," the woman screams and lunges for Shelia again. Scrambling to her feet Shelia pushes her away only to have to ward off several punches. One connects squarely with her cheek, splitting it open and causing her eye to sting. Reflexively Shelia reaches out with her right hand and grabs the woman's arm as she is swinging at her again. Being much stronger, Shelia stops the strike from coming and counters with a blow to the woman's stomach, followed up by two quick punches in succession to her face. Then Roger is on her. Throwing her to the ground and pinning her there. Before anything else can happen, the bar tender comes around the counter and shoves Roger and the blonde woman towards the door.
"Out! Both of you, before I call the cops!" he yells.
As she is picking herself up off the ground Shelia hears Roger say, "C'mon Corina. Let's go home. Seeing you fight for me gets me going."
They both climb into his truck and they leave. Shelia is left at the bar wondering exactly what just happened. This went from a date that could end up with some romance to a bar fight with her boyfriend's wife. She sits at the bar and tries not to shake as the adrenaline begins to wear off. The bar tender sets a shot glass down in front of her which she quickly empties and then indicates for another. That one is gone just as quickly after paying for her drinks, she walks out to her car to go home.
"So he is married and courts other women?" Loki asks startling her out of her recollections.
"Yes and says she doesn't care unless she has been drinking. He told me he was divorced and had no contact with her and I believed him. I'm such an idiot," she chastises herself.
"No, his flaws are not a reflection on you. He is unworthy of your attention," Loki responds.
Looking into his eyes Shelia is surprised by this, "Thank you Loki," she says feeling a little uncomfortable under the intensity of his gaze... "So we probably need to get you some normal clothes. Do you have any money?"
"I have only what I was wearing. Odin was not so kind as to provide me with anything else," he answers.
"Ok well, I can run into town and pick you up something real quick. So at least you won't be so conspicuous."
"You don't have to do that. You owe me nothing," he tells her.
"Loki, I hit you with my car. Some clothes are the least I can do," she responds with a grin.
"Alright. Thank you," he relents and then looks embarrassed as his stomach growls loudly.
"I'll make breakfast before I go," Shelia laughs and heads into the kitchen.
Loki watches her from the couch while absent mindedly rubbing Kings ears. He told her the truth about Odin's visit, but he left out some details.
"Loki my son, I did not foresee this event. Your human body has sustained great damage and if I do not intervene now, you will die before you get a chance to redeem yourself. I will grant you three days to heal and at that time you will go back to being human. Do not squander your chance. I have no doubt you were placed in this woman's path for a reason. She can help you and I believe you can help her."
Loki is startled out of his thoughts as Shelia announces, "breakfast is ready."
He gets up and takes a seat at the kitchen table as Shelia sets a plate down in front of him and sits down to eat her own breakfast. When they are done eating Shelia asks, "I don't suppose you can tell me what size you are?"
"Size of what?" he asks.
"Clothes. Pants. Anything?"
"Afraid not," he answers.
"That's ok, I'll figure it out," she says. "I'm gonna go take a shower and then I'll go."
An hour later Shelia is at the store looking for clothes for Loki. Even though she tried to cover her black eye with make up and big sunglasses she can see the glances being directed her way and can hear the whispers as she browses the men’s department. The town isn’t that big and news of the fight at the bar probably spread fast. She picks out a couple pairs of jeans and some t-shirts. Then after a quick debate with herself, grabs socks and underwear too. Before heading home she stops at a drug store to pick up some toiletries for him as well. The only thing she couldn't get were some shoes since she had no idea what size, but she figured he could wear the boots she found him in for now.
When she gets home she finds Loki standing in the back yard looking out at the surrounding fields. For a moment she just watches him. He is so still as he gazes out over the fields. Again she feels a twinge of desire as she watches the muscles ripple across his back when he runs a hand through his hair.
"There you are. I got you some stuff. If you want to take a shower you can," Shelia says handing him the bags in a rush so he won’t notice the way she is blushing.
He tips his head towards her in thanks and heads back into the house with King right behind him. He pulls off the pajama pants and stands naked in front of the mirror. The bruises have almost completely faded and his ribs only hurt a little when he moves. As he steps under the warm water he tries to think of a plan. He is grateful for what she has done for him, but knows that as soon as she does some research and figures out who he is, she will throw him out, or worse, report him to the authorities. For some reason this bothers him more than it should. After all, he has only just met this woman and knows little about her, but he cannot stop thinking about Odin’s advice.
