Annie Walker sat at a table across from her best friend, Auggie Anderson. They were at Allen's, their favorite meeting place. Her finger traced the line of her beer glass and she sighed.
"I know it's time for me to move on", she said suddenly.
Auggie knew who she was talking about. Ben Mercer. Just the thought of him angered Auggie, so much that he had to count to ten to calm down.
"I thought I loved him, but I realized I only love one person", she continued.
"And who is that?", asked Auggie, tapping her hand gently.
"Oh Auggie, you'd just love him", Annie gushed, ignoring his question. "He's smart, funny, handsome, caring and perfect."
Auggie gritted his teeth together, trying to control his anger. He felt his face get red.
"Are you okay, Aug?", asked Annie, frowning.
"Yeah, just fine", lied Auggie. "Now, go on."
"Oh", she drew out the word, smiling. "I think I fell in love with him."
Auggie drew in a breath, clentching his fists together. Many thoughts ran through his head.
Oh Annie, can't you see what's right in front of you? I love you so much, but you just don't notice. I should be your shoulder to cry on, your strong and steady.
"Who is he?", he all but growled out the question. This guy must be something to have stolen Annie Walker's heart. She was a badass, smart, beautiful (from what he could tell) and perfect CIA Agent.
"Auggie, your jealous", it wasn't a question, it was a statement.
Her pretty face broke into a big smile and she leaned forward so he could feel her hot breath on his face and a whoosh of her prefume.
"He's you, silly", she whispered.
Auggie couldn't believe his ears.
"Oh", he breathed.
Annie leaned in some more and their lips connected, triggering a spark. It truly was a a breathtaking kiss.
A kiss that could last forever.
