Annabeth's POV
As his lips were moving against mine, I eventually gave in and wrapped my arms around his neck. His strong hands were placed around my petite waist. I couldn't help but feel finally put into the right place. My eyes shut and I felt like everything was complete.
We continued this position for what seemed like eternity, until we stopped and I realized it was way to short. My eyes fluttered when they opened. When everything was clear, I saw his deep green eyes boring into my stormy grey ones. We didn't say anything. We didn't need to. All we could hear was the heavy inconstant breathing between the two of us.
I don't know how long we stared at each other. I think we stayed this way because we both didn't know what to do next. I felt like I should've walked away, but then things would be even more awkward. Percy finally opened his mouth to speak. "I'm sorry. That wasn't necessary." He said clearing his throat. What he didn't know was that it was necessary.
I was really glad he did kiss me. I was really glad he didn't pull back when I kissed him back. I was really glad we stayed like that for a while. I wanted him more than anything. The problem was I don't think he wanted me. The reason he kissed me was because it was just in the moment. It wasn't me. I just happened to be there at the time.
"No Percy. It was necessary." Did I just say that out loud? "Wait-what?" He asked. Confession time, I guess. "Percy, I lied. I still like you, a lot." A smirk was painted across the boy's face. "I don't like you anymore." In that moment, I literally felt something break. Maybe the butterflies in my stomach had flown away or maybe my heart had been hammered in pieces.
"I don't like you, Annabeth. I love you." He stated. I blinked. "You do?" He nodded. Heat pervaded my cheeks and a smile had grown on my lips. "I love you too." I said with out a beat in between. Blissfully, I kissed him smack dab on the lips, and he kissed me back.
For the first time in months, I had my other half back. It was the best feeling. I felt like I was queen of the universe. I was in control of my feelings now that I could admit them. The only downside was that, he was still in a relationship and a player.
I was a slut. I had slept with Luke, kissed another girls boyfriend, and had enjoyed both. Well, enjoyed the second one, I wasn't sober for the first. Still, I felt disgusting. I wanted Percy, but couldn't have him. Just like everything else. I released the kiss. "Percy" I said. He looked at me. "Let's just be friends for now. As much as I want you, and I totally do. I feel like we should connect before we actually get back together." His eyes seemed to get bigger. "We should what?" Heasked obviously knowing the answer. I didn't know why he asked again, he's just torturing himself.
"We should take things slowly this time. We shouldn't rush in to something especially when one of us has a girlfriend." I snapped sounding a little harsh. "Forget Calypso. Forget all those girls. I want you, Annabeth. What is so hard about that?" His voice seemed to get louder and he had grabbed my hands. "Please just let us be together." He said with wide eyes and pouting lip.
Even with him being completely adorable, I had to take all my will power to tell him no. That would be hard especially with him. I took a deep breathe in. "No. You have things to sort out and I have a lot on my mind, and I bet you do too." he frowned and put his head down not locking eyes with me.
"Don't be like this. It's hard for me too. Trust me." He just stayed there in silence, while I waited. So, I got on my tippy toes and planted a kiss on his lips. "C'mon, Perce. We have a story to finish." I said pulling his arm towards the parking lot.
Okay, I know you all extremely hate me, but these last couple of months have been...excruciating. See, my mom has breast cancer and I've been taking care of her. Plus my Best friend and I started dating and yeah...awkward. He was my first boyfriend and stuff. So yeah, I was happy. Then he broke up with me because I'm apparently "extra stress" blah blah blah. Anyways, my old bestie and I started talking again. I've missed her so much! Which is another big thing. Family drama has been exceptional lately. Not that you wanted to hear about my life or anything.
Here is the news you probably want to know. Summer is approaching and updates will be returning. Thank God because I've missed you guys. The thing is though, is that I have changed a lot since the last update so the story might take a change in the writing style or the plot. It will change slightly.
how are you ? I want to hear about everyone's life. Private message or Review about it. Im dying to know how you are.
Please Review! You know how much I love feedback! That hasn't changed. Haha anyway. Bye Darling.
