Chapter Four: A Day of Laughs

I think I'd cried on Sif's shoulder because I woke up with a damp face and her sitting in a chair, still watching me.

"Are you okay?" She asks, hesitantly. I nod.

"Sorry about the shirt." I tell her.

"Don't worry about it. Do you wanna-" she's cut off by the door swinging wide open and Thor stepping in. He takes in the two of us, just sitting there.

"Am I interrupting something?" He asks. Sif smiles a little to herself and looks at me like I should do something about it.

"Yes, you are." I tell him. I can see he hadn't been expecting that.

"What?" He asks.

"This is an A and B conversation so C your way out of it before D jumps over E and F's you up G." I tell him, half of me was surprised I'd remember that, the other was watching Thor trying to hide his laughter.

"What?" He asks. I try to explain.

"It's a play on the music alphabet... It's never mind." I say, trying to shoo him out. He doesn't leave. Shocker.

"Get dressed. I wanna take you somewhere." Thor says, I stare at him, debating if I should fight him or not. I decide on the latter.

"Alright." I answer, waiting for him to leave. He doesn't leave.

"You have to leave for me to change." I tell him. He smiles and leaves. I watch as Sif picks up a golden dress. It went to the floor where it pooled beautifully. The sleeves formed cuffs around the wrist that were open. I grabbed and went into the bathroom. I hurried though my shower and pulled the dress on. It WAS beautiful. The only problem was my hair. It just sat there, limp. I walked out to see Sif playing with a golden ribbon. I stared at it.

"Come here." She says. I walk over and feel her hands yank my hair and then tie it. "Look." She pointed to a mirror and I saw she'd braided my hair back, so it flowed like waves down til above my butt. The ribbon gleamed inside of the pretty braid. It was perfect. I was smiling at myself when I heard a knock on the door. Sif and I walked over and she opened it to Thor. He was standing there, gleaming in blue, gray and red. He smiled as he saw me.

"You look beautiful Esmeralda." Thor says, completely honest. I blushed hard and hid my face.

"Where are we going?" I ask him. He just holds out his hand to me. I stare at it.

"I won't bite." He says, noticing my hesitation.

"You do electrocute." I pointed out. He tried not to laugh.

"I promise to behave. As long as you don't attack me." Thor says to make a point I guess.

"I promise to behave and not curse on your ever waking move as long as your a good guy." I promised back. We shook on it and then we began to fly. What happened to taking a horse or a car? Does no one do that anymore? At least with flying we didn't have to talk. The only bad thing was that I was too close to Thor.

"They're actually watching us." I say to Thor. Little kids were waiting below, even moms with new babies. Babies! "Let's go down."

"What?" Thor says.

"Go down." I say a little harder.

"No." He says all royalty.

"Yes." I say. I could see he was about to say no again. I let go of him. He was in total shock and his hands slipped. I fell maybe four feet before his arms wrapped around me and he fell down with me.

"Are you nuts?" Thor shouted. I payed no attention to him. I went to a mother holding her new born baby girl and a hand on her son's shoulder.

"Hi." I said to the mother.

"Hello." She answered back. I went low to the ground.

"Hi sweetie." I say to the little boy. He looks dazzled.

"Hi." He says.

"I'm Esmeralda. What's your name?" I say to him.

"Avion." He answers excitedly. I smile at him then look at Thor.

"Do you know who that guy is Avion?" I ask. He nods really hard.

"King Thor." He says. I wave Thor over. He comes over quickly.

"Thor meet Avion. Avion meet Thor." I say. Thor smiles at the kid and holds out a hand. The little guy rushes Thor into a hug. I laugh at the shock clearly on Thor.

"Avion let go." His mother scolds him. He let's go with tears in his eyes.

"Hey it's no problem. May I hold the baby?" I say to her. At first the mom hesitates, but then she nods her head and hands over the baby. I hold the little angel close and look down at her. She has gray eyes, and at the moment she was staring straight at me. I smiled down at her and her face went bright with happiness. I laughed and tickled under her chin. She giggled and squirmed a little. I laughed again and then I heard the soft, muscular laughter right at my shoulder. Tingles race down my body and then I couldn't help it. I leaned closer to him and laughed. He reached over my shoulder and tickled the little girls belly. She giggled even more and it was soo adorable! I cooed at her a little more and then handed the precious angel over to her mother.

"Thank you." I said to her. She smiled at me and then looked at Thor. One of his big hands had wrapped around my waist. I didn't pull away because everyone was watching... And I actually wanted his hand there.

"You will make lovely parents." The woman said with a wink. It took me a while to get what she said and I only blushed. I turned around so my face was like literally chest level. I looked farther up and he was smiling down at me.

"We can go now." I said to him. He shook his head and started walking. I moved a little away from him, but he just took my right hand in his left and kept walking.

"Where are we going?" I ask him. He smiles.

"There's this artist playing in town soon. I want you to see her. She's amazing." He answers.

"Ok."

When we got to the center of town I could see that this person meant a lot to the people in this town. She was probably the Mariah Carey for all I knew. It was pretty weird.

"Come on, I want you to meet her." He pulls me over to a girl who was just standing there. She was beautiful and I was immediately jealous of her. Why did she have to look like that? She was short, 5'1" and pale. Like a pretty pale with blonde hair. I hated her already.

"Amanda!" Thor shouted at her. She turned around with a huge smile on her face and flew into his arms. He caught her and twirled her around like a doll. Seriously? Did she have to be that tiny?

"Wow, you get stronger by the day Thor!" She said all smiley and flirty. He chuckled and placed a hand on my waist. I was gonna yell at him for that later. 

"Amanda, this is Esmerelda." He said. She turned to me, checked me out and clearly decided I was no competition to her. I gritted my teeth and pulled myself closer to Thor. Two can play this game.

"Hi." She said. It literally dripped boredom.

"HI." My voice was a straight challenge. She smiled, as if accepting that.

"Well, I have to go on stage, but I hope to see you after." The last part was all for Thor. She walked away and I stayed close to Thor. He would be front row, so she would put all her attention on him. I was willing to make her suffer through it as well.

"She better be good." I said and looked straight ahead. He smiled and didn't answer.

A beat started and then got sweeter. She began to sing and I decided I didn't like the song. It was a love song, and she sang the whole thing to Thor. I've never wanted to kill a person in my entire life.

"Wow, all of you showed up for little old me!" She said breathelessly. Lots of the crowd screamed and clapped, I just pretended that she didn't exist.

"Well, looks as if Thor is here as well!" She said again. People roared and Thor smiled and waved. "Why don't you come up here Thor?" she asked. The crowd went nuts and he shrugged.

"Thor." I say before he goes up there. 

"Yeah?" 

"While you're up there, remember this." I said and kissed him. I knew we were in public, I knew I was gonna fight with him over it later, and I knew beyond a doubt my powers would intertwine with his, but it didn't stop me. I was too jealous to care. I wanted to make her angry. He pulled away first with a huge grin on his face.

"I'll be back." He promises and joins her on stage. Amanda is staring at me with daggers, I just smile and wave. 

After the whole performance Thor and I are walking with Amanda, my hand comfortably in his.

"Well thank you for coming here for me. I'm gonna head back." Amanda says and hugs Thor. He smiles.

"Bye kiddo." Ha! He called her kiddo! I knew she was twenty though. She comes and gives me a hug.

"You don't have him, and you never will." She whispers.

"And I'm the one with Thor, going to our palace, and where are you going?" I pull away and watch her walk away, angry and embarassed.

"Well you REALLY are jealous." Thor says. I look at him, astonished that he'd found that out.

"What?" I ask.

"I knew you were jealous. That's the only reason you kissed me back there. Don't worry I can be your kissing man whenever you get jealous." He says. I laugh a little.

"I don't get jealous." I tell him. His smile gets really big.

"You do." He states.

"I do not."

"You do too."

"I do not."

"You do too." 

"Kids." someone scuffs from besides us. We stare at her and then laugh super hard. She was right, we'd been acting like kids. After we were done laughing he decided it was time to go home. I nodded and he flew us all the way there. The whole time I only thought of one thing,

Why wasn't every day with Thor like today?
