Summary: Short drabble of what might have been going on in Simone's mind after the near-kiss with Annabelle

Author's note: I haven't seen Loving Annabelle yet, so I don't know the characters all that well. This little piece (which I wrote at work, by the way… we had a calm moment so I squeezed this in) is just something that came up in my mind, there's a pretty good chance that 'my' Simone is WAY off-base here.

"Do I make you nervous?" Her words keep echoing through my ears while my skin is still burning from her lingering touch. Is it really the question whether she makes me nervous or not? She knows the answer just as well as I do. She's everything I ever wanted, at the same time everything I'm not supposed to have. But I don't know how much longer I can deny my feelings. My resolve is wavering, the walls breaking and crumbling at my feet, falling apart into tiny little pieces that can never be put together again. Yes, she's altered my every being, changed my life the moment we first met. And each time I see her, speak to her or am near her, she takes a little bit more of my soul to claim as her own. She's in charge of me now. It feels as if the world would be nothing without her. As if the sun would never shine again, if she wasn't around to shine on. As if the air would be poison, unless she'd be there to breathe it.

So does she make me nervous? I would think so. Nervous as never before, scared to death even. But more than anything else she makes me feel alive, and that's a feeling I'm holding on to. If we will get together or not isn't a question. It's merely a case of 'when.' Fact is that I won't be able to resist her forever. But for now, I will try and that's okay. We have enough time.

The End.
