Chp 7
Annabeth had distanced herself a bit from me in our last week together. But I was only at college another three months then I come home. But I really wanted to try think of a future for us.
So when I caught her walking down the passage my way, I knew I needed to talk to her. I had just come up the big staircase and she was just closing her door. She quickly turned and opened her door again.
I quickly went into her room with her and closed the door, locking it behind me. "Ever heard of privacy?" She asked, running her fingers through as she walked toward her big window.
"Annabeth, why are you avoiding me?" I asked, coming up behind her. She turned and said, "Percy." She walked towards her bed side, but I followed her. "And turn when you see me coming your direction?" I asked.
She squeezed past me and stood in front of he closed bathroom door. "Annabeth." I said, standing in front of her and closing off all pathways of escape. She sighed, staring into my eyes. I quickly cupped her cheek and pulled her lips to mine.
I waited for her to kiss back, and soon she did. She kissed back, cupping my cheek. She had her back against the door and I had my one hand holding me up by the side of her head.
She put her hand behind my head, pulling me closer to her. I pulled her up, so her legs were wrapped around my waist. I held her up, and moved to her double bed. I lay her down on her back, her legs still around my waist.
We kicked our shoes off as we continued to kiss. I kissed her neck, my one hand on her thigh and the other behind her head. She kissed me again, and I fell even more in love with her.
Her dress's skirt had hitched up to her hips now and my top was all rumpled. I felt her move her head to catch her breath. I did the same. When we had recovered, she looked up at me. I tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.
"See how easily you make me fall under you." She said, making me smile. "And you know why I love you? Because you are so you. Not somebody else." I said.
"Percy." She said, sitting up and pulling her legs to her chest. "I don't want you to stick with me. If you do, I'll be sad." She said, sighing. "You say that like it hurts to love me." I said, furrowing my eyebrows.
"Look, I want to be with you but were both still young. Maybe you'll meet some big socialite that fits with you and I'll meet a guy that is studying teaching or whatever and then one of us will have to say something to the other." She said.
I sighed and looked her in the eyes. "I'm breaking inside right now. Really bad." I said, biting my lip. She chuckled and smiled at me. "And if in a couple years, you still wanna be with me, then we'll find each other and make this work." I sighed but agreed to her terms, although it hurt so much.
