Author’s Note: The plot twist makes a lot of sense if you think about it. If Loki wanted to rule the world, becoming an actor is a pretty good way to achieve that. *stares at Hiddleston suspiciously*
Chapter Six: In the Green Room
Much to her ward’s protests Lissa managed to usher the God turned actor out of their room and into the ‘Green Room’ to mingle with the other stars that had been invited. At first, ‘Tom’ seemed reluctant to leave her side; no matter how much she begged him to go hang out. It was only the intervention of ‘Chris’ that got him to detach from her side. “Tom! Come on! There’s someone I want to introduce you to,” the dark blonde actor had encouraged before leading him away by the arm. Thanking Odin for the oblivious male, the handler moved to a quiet area where she could keep an eye on things without being noticed. As soon as she sat down, it really hit her. Loki was walking around and talking like a normal person, acting as if he had never been a Norse God and she was the only one that knew his secret.
Sitting back in the couch she had chosen, she tried to absorb that information. The trickster wasn’t even supposed to exist, let alone the things he had told her about. It all seemed so fantastic but the evidence stood a few feet in front of her, talking to a beautiful redhead. Even as she watched, the sly male made a drink appear in the hand he had behind his back and brought it forward like he had just received it from the bartender. Just seeing that made her wonder how many times he had pulled such a simple trick on her. Then she remembered the candles on the night he had tried to seduce her and groaned when she came to the conclusion he couldn’t have pulled it off without magic. “That sneaky little...,” she hissed, smiling despite the annoyance in her voice.
Minutes soon turned into hours and Melissa had been largely left alone by the star she had been sent to babysit, something she didn’t mind. She had meant it when she had told the star he needed to fraternize with people in the industry and she was happy to see he was doing just that. Then, as if her thoughts had reached him somehow, the deity masquerading as a mortal named Tom Hiddleston turned to look at her. Smiling in a way that made her heart stop in her chest, the tall male began to head towards her. ‘Well, shit. I just had to go and think about him,’ she sighed to herself as he stopped in front of her. “What are you doing hiding in this dark corner? Have you been here all night?” he asked, placing a hand on a bony hip as he raised a brow at her.
“Yes Tom. I’m only here to make sure you don’t get into too much trouble,” the brunette replied, giving him a small smile. The thespian only rolled his blue-green eyes before extending his hand to her.
“I simply can’t allow that,” he responded in a playfully exasperated tone as he wiggled his fingers at her.
Lissa looked from his offered hand to his determined face before sighing and placing her hand in his. Giving her a bright smile, the actor pulled her to her feet gently before tugging her against his body and putting his free hand in the small of her back. “Besides, I want to show off the woman who’s going to be my girlfriend,” he rumbled, giving her nose a quick peck.
“That’s a lot to assume,” she whispered, narrowing her eyes as he began to lead her toward the large crowd of famous guests. The star beside her only chuckled before leaning in closer to her. The heat of his body made her nethers pulse despite herself and she very nearly froze when she felt his breath hit the shell of her ear.
“Oh, I don’t thinks so. Besides, I want to introduce you to someone. He’s an old friend of mine,” he continued as he continued to gently push her along. Melissa could only roll her eyes, knowing it was no good to argue with him.
All too soon Tom was introducing her to famous people right and left, still moving them forward in search of the person he wanted to introduce her to. It wasn’t too much longer before the actor found the mysterious person and began to move with a purpose. As they got closer, even though she could only see the man from the back, Lissa began to get a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. All of a sudden she no longer wanted to go anywhere near who her client was going to introduce her to. Before she could even think about trying to run away, the star was tapping the other man on the shoulder; causing him to turn around. As soon as she saw his face, her heart dropped into the pit of her stomach. There, standing in front of her, was Jeremy Irons.
To his credit, Jeremy looked as shell-shocked to see her as she was to see him. Then Tom was introducing him, his voice fading into the panic that was rapidly overtaking her mind. All she could think of was the need to escape, the need to get away from the heartbreak filling her ex’s brown eyes. “Yes, I believe we’ve already met. Haven’t we Lis?” the older male whispered, his voice soft and sad as he held out a hand for her to shake. Ignoring the curious look the man next to her was giving her, Lissa offered her hand to the man that would have been her husband. To her shock, instead of shaking her hand, the taller male pulled her into a tight hug; inhaling her scent deeply.
“I’ve missed you Melissa,” he husked out in an emotion filled voice as his hands roamed on her back. This moment was soon interrupted by a no doubt confused Thomas clearing his throat. Just that simple noise caused the twenty-eight year old to jolt out of Jeremy’s embrace, a miserable, conflicted expression on her pasty face.
“Lissey?” the man she was here to watch over whispered in a confused voice, that one word asking a million questions.
“Remember when I told you I was engaged to someone,” whispered the distressed female, her panic growing by the second. It was taking everything she had to not run out of the room, embarrasing both herself and the God disguised as a movie star. Thankfully ‘Tom’ nodded, a bit of understanding beginning to come over his face. Jeremy simply watched the exchange silently, his eyes never moving from his former fiance. It almost felt as if he was afraid she would simply disappear, making a thin sliver of guilt rise through the screaming fear roiling inside her.
“Jeremy was that man,” she continued, swallowing the tears that were beginning to clog her throat. Just being this close to him brought back all the memories and feelings as if they had never broken things off in the first place, causing her heart to clench like it was in a vice.
The tall, dark haired man next to her could only stare at them both in shock, looking unsure of what to do. Jeremy, on the other hand, didn’t share his fellow celebrity’s confusion. The older, taller male was again closing the distance, taking his former lover into his arms. “We have a lot to talk about Lis but we can’t do that here. Please, come back to my room with me,” he whispered in her ear urgently, his voice holding a desperate edge. Hiddleston, who was still right beside her, stiffened visibly and narrowed his changing eyes.
“You’re welcome to come as well Tom. I’m sure you would like some answers as well,” Irons offered, pulling away to look in Lissa’s brown eyes.
“Please Jeremy, I just... I can’t...,” the distressed female whispered, her voice far too shaky as tears began to fill her eyes. Both men got identical looks of concern on their faces before they both led her out of the crowded room.
“Let’s go to your room. She’ll be more comfortable there,” the famous voice actor suggested before the pair simply ushered the shaking woman to the elevator. As soon as they were inside, Jeremy was immediately murmuring comforting things to the now openly crying Lissa as he once again took her into a hug.
“I’m not mad darling. I could never be mad at you. I’m just hurt. Come now, no more tears please,” the dark haired man murmured gently, petting her hair in a soothing manner before pressing a kiss to her forehead. An action that made ‘Tom’ bristle visibly. In fact, it looked like he was coming very close to punching the older actor.
As if sensing the hostility, the slightly graying star raised his brow at his current companion. It was at that precise moment that the small, metal box reached their floor, coming to a stop and opening it’s doors. Without hesitation, the two men flanked the still sobbing female as Tom kinda led the way to the room. Soon they were opening the door and bundling her inside, Jeremy making some tea while Tom sat down with Melissa at the table and tried to get her to stop crying. “Shh, please Lissa. It’s okay,” the distraught actor whispered, pulling her into his arms and shooting a glare at Jeremy. After hearing what she had told him, he had a good idea of why she was reacting like this.
The older male, as if sensing his fellow actor’s ire, turned to stare at him. “No, no it’s not okay. Christ Tom, do you have any idea what I did to this man; to his heart?” came a watery voice drawing the attention of both males to the still sobbing handler. The man holding her opened his mouth to respond when Irons quickly closed the distance and took her chin in his hands to force her to look him in the eyes.
“I hold no grudges for that. I only want to know why. Why did you leave me without an explanation? Why have you been hiding from me?” he whispered, ignoring the glower he was getting from the dark haired star.
Releasing a ragged cry, the brunette flung herself at her former fiance and began to cry into his black tux coat. “I’m sorry, so sorry. It wasn’t that I didn’t love you, it was that I couldn’t stand to see what the paparazzi were doing to you because of me. They were ruining your career, everything you worked so hard for. After leaving, it was just too hard to see you so I avoided you,” she confessed, burrowing her face in his white clad chest. The voice actor holding her only hummed softly, rocking her back and forth in an effort to calm her.
“Oh Lis... please don’t cry anymore love. It hurts me to hear you like this. Now come on, give us a smile,” he urged gently, lifting her chin so she was looking up at him. Tom, who had been watching the exchange, only gritted his teeth as his hands curled into fists on his lap. He didn’t like seeing how close the two still were and he had to fight with himself to not tear her from the other celebrity’s arms.
Sniffling loudly, Melissa offered Jeremy a shaky smile before she backed out of his hold. The slightly graying man only gave her a smile in return before going to the teapot and pulling it off the stove just as it was going to start whistling. Releasing a sigh, the young woman turned to give her client an apologetic glance; startling slightly at the fury she saw in his now mostly green eyes. A fury that was quickly replaced by his normal gentle demeanor as he gave her a small, reassuring grin. “Come sit down,” he offered, a slight tenseness to his frame despite his neutral tone. Figuring he was angry about the drama, the twenty-eight year old only sighed before taking her previous spot beside the God disguised as a man.
“I’m sorry about this Tom. If I had told you his name, I doubt you would have tried to introduce us,” she whispered, keeping her gaze on the top of the table out of shame and embarrassment. She had completely acted like a fool in the ‘Green Room’ and even more once they had gotten back to the room. Surely she had embarrassed the man she was meant to be watching.
“You have nothing to apologize for. You were probably just trying to protect him. You had no idea he would be at the convention,” the star assured, placing a hand over hers and giving it a squeeze. Lissa gave him a relieved smile before two cups of tea were placed in front of her and her ward. Then Jeremy was sitting across from them, a knowing expression in his eyes as he watched the pair.
“Indeed, there is nothing here to forgive. All I ask is that you allow me to become your friend,” he murmured, not missing the glare Tom shot at him. On the inside, the older actor was amused but also a bit sad. While he knew they couldn’t pick up where they left off, it still smarted a bit to see another man interested in his former fiance.
“I don’t know if that’s a good idea. I still have strong feelings for you, not to mention what would happen if people saw us together again,” Lissa replied, looking torn. Irons only pursed his lips before reaching across the table and taking her hands in his.
“I don’t care about any of that right now. All I know is that being away from you tore me apart. Seeing you at this convention has been the only peace I’ve had for two long years. Please don’t disappear on me again,” the aging actor pleaded, ignoring the anger pouring off his fellow celebrity as he rubbed the tops of her hands with his thumbs.
The torn twenty-eight year old could only nibble her lower lip before turning her gaze to the man beside her. What she saw completely surprised her. Tom looked absolutely livid, his eyes a bright, jade green. Even the temperature was steadily beginning to drop, causing goosebumps to raise on her arms. Then, as if sensing her regard, the dark haired star turned to her to give her a gentle smile; a sharp contrast to the jealousy clear in his vibrant eyes. “I think you should Lissey. I think it would be good for both of you,” he suggested, placing an arm around her shoulders before turning his gaze back to Jeremy. The voice actor only smiled slightly before finishing his tea and getting to his feet.
“I have taken up more than enough of both your times. If you would allow an exchange of numbers, I’ll be more than happy to get out of your hair,” he declared, offering his phone to his former fiance. Giving the tux wearing star a small smile, Lissa took his phone to enter his number into hers and vice versa. Once done, she handed his phone back before getting up, walking around the table and giving him another hug.
Sighing softly, the older male simply wrapped his own arms around her to return the embrace. “I’ll see you soon,” he whispered in a sad voice before he was releasing her to turn around and leave the suite. As soon as the door was shut, the being known as Tom wrapped his arms around her from behind; releasing a low growl as he placed his chin on her left shoulder.
“Tom?” she whispered, forgetting entirely to call him by his true name now that they were alone.
“My name is Loki,” he gritted out in a tense voice before turning her to face him. His eyes were almost like looking into green fire and she only had a few seconds before his mouth covered hers in a possessive kiss. Before she could respond, the deity was breaking the lip lock to stare into her eyes.
“Please try to remember to call me that when we’re alone,” he continued as he released her to run a hand through his shoulder length, ebony hair. Every line in his body looked tense and he looked ready to explode, confusing Lissa slightly. Just as she was about to ask what was wrong, she came to the realization that the man was jealous.
“Loki, are you jealous of Jeremy?” she asked, a bit of humor on her face. The taller God only squared his shoulders as he gave her one of his infamous glares. Giggling the assistant only shook her head.
“There’s nothing to be jealous about. We’re not a couple and are unlikely to become one,” she assured, only getting a glare for her troubles.
Suddenly he was placing his hands on her shoulders, giving her a stern glance. “Don’t say that. You obviously have feelings for me and I obviously have feelings for you. Regardless of your hesitations, I am going to do my best to convince you we can work as a couple,” he snarled, his hands shaking slightly.
“Loki...,” she started, only to have the Norse God shake his head at her.
“No Lissey. I understand why you’re hesitant but don’t give up before we’ve even had a chance,” he rumbled, cupping her cheek with his hand. Then he was taking his other hand off her shoulder, forming a blue rose out of thin air and offering it to her.
“Please, give me the chance to prove to you that we can be a couple despite my fame and the controversy you were involved in,” he pleaded, making sure to maintain eye contact.
Lissa could only stare at him, then the rose before taking the azure bloom. “I can’t promise anything but I’ll let you try,” she sighed, freezing when the star pulled her into a tight hug.
“Thank you,” he whispered, placing a kiss on her cheek before pulling her towards his bed. Then he was laying down, rubbing the sheets to show he wanted her to join him. Rolling her eyes, Lissa cuddled next to him and placed her cheek on his chest.
“What would you say to going out to dinner tomorrow?” he asked, chuckling when she lightly smacked his chest.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
