A/N: Sorry it has taken so long. I own nothing. Read and Review(:
Aphrodite's POV
I was caressing her hand when she awoke. I wanted to open my eyes, but decided not too. It'd be best to wait and see what she does first. I could her emotions. She was questioning eveything. Then she did something totally unexpecting. She intertwined our fingers together. I slightly shook and opened my eyes. She looked weak. So weak. I had no idea how to approach. I just said what came to mind, "do you trust me?" She met my eyes then. Her green eyes were burning holes right through me. "Yes." She replied. It felt good sitting like that. Looking into each others eyes, fingers intertwined. "What the hell am I thinking?" I mentally screamed.
Darius had instructed that if she awoke to check her wound. Ahhh, Darius. Why do I not feel bad for sitting here holding Stevie Rae's hands, looking into her eyes so passiontely? Ugh. It took a lot to pull away from her gaze, but I managed. I started to check her wound, moving the covers and pulling her shirt back when she blurted "what are you doing?"
Trying to hold in my laughter (not working very well) I said "chill bumpkin, I'm looking at your wound, not trying to make a move." She mumbled an okay and sneered at me. The wound still looked terrible. She should have healed now, but apparently there was some type of poisen on the knife Rephiam stabbed her with. Just the thought of him made my blood boil. Before I could conjure up another creative way to kill Rephiam, Stevie Rae murmered "You should get some sleep."
"I can't, your in my bed." I replied.
Her eyes wandered across my room until they found mine and scrunched up. "Why am I in your bed and not my own?" She asked looking so confused that is made her look adorable.
Shaking off the thought, I replied "everyone kept trying to go in yours and bother you. But since I'm not the nicest, they won't try to come in here and bother you." Chuckling she said, "yeah that works."
I finished looking at her wound and just sat there. Uhmm can anyway say awkward silence?
She broke the silence by asking where everyone was. I told where and then she tried to sit up by herself. Bad idea. She winced from the pain and I got on the bed to help hold her up. Goddess, seeing her wince like that tugged at my heart. I sent a silent prayer to Nyx to help heal Stevie Rae. When I looked back at her, there was a stray curl infront of her eyes. I gently took it and tucked it behind her ear. I could feel that she was confused. Very confused. And she sure as hell wasn't the only one. "Why are you being so nice to me?" She pretty much snarled at me. Uhh.. What do I say? Hestitantly and not meeting her eyes, I answered "were imprinted again.. I feel what you feel and I didn't want to feel your pain." Before either of us could say anything else, Zoey and the nerd herd came in. I let go of Stevie Rae and moved away.
Damn it..
