Percy POV
It had been four days, and no sign of wise girl. No call, no text. Nothing. She left me with a kiss, that I pondered for the whole four days. I mean that was a good sign right? That was something.
It was sign that she actually felt something for me and I would take it.
Moving here was a tough thing, New York was my home, it still is. But Annabeth made things easier, she made Tennessee my home. Annabeth was my home. Now I just feel lost. Even more lost then I felt before the kiss. before there was nothing to hold onto. There was no faith or hope that, maybe, just maybe she actually still felt something for me. But now, I have something to hold onto, something to grasp and never let go of. But that made it confusing, and goddammit I don't care if I sound like a girl if I say this but, it made me over think things.
After the kiss and a silent car ride, I drove her home which is were i last seen her. My mom isn't coming back anytime soon, so I found the empty house saddening.
It was nice having Annabeth around the house, even if she rarely came out. After going weeks with out evening seeing her, I craved being near here; now that she actually let me.
There had been moments when I wanted to sprint to her house and ask her what we were, if we even were anything. But she had to grieve and if that meant not going to school, then fine.
But I missed her.
Her eyes.
Her hair.
Her lips..
You know what, fuck it.
"Percy...?" She asked, peeking out from the door.
"Hi."
"Hi."
Clearing my throat, I asked, "I just wanted to check on you...If thats okay?"
Stepping away from the door I finally got a good look at her.
She actually looked healthy.
Not happy, but healthy.
"Yeah. Yeah, okay." She said allowing me to walk inside.
I had only been inside Annabeth's house a total of 7 times while we were dating.
Giving me a few glances she lead the way to her room. Shutting the door behind me she gestured for me to sit on my bed.
Standing across from me she crossed her ams. "You look nice." She said.
"Thanks, uh you look nice too. Really nice." I said, rubbing the back of my neck. This awkward conversation was not gonna cut it with me.
I was done with being silent about this.
"Can we just address the elephant in the room." I said, standing up.
"Address away." She said, a smile dancing on her lips.
"We kissed." I said, taking a step towards her which she didn't seem to notice.
"That we did." A step towards me.
"I would like to do that again." I said, another step towards her. She was an arms reach away.
"I'm sure you would." She said taking a step.
There seemed to only be inches that held us apart.
"How do you feel about that?" I asked , grabbing her fingers. I was surprised that she actually let me touch her.
"Worried." She said honestly.
That made me let go of her hand, why was she worried about that?
"Why?"
"It makes me worried if I might want to, too"
"Then don't worry. Just act." I asked, gaining back my confidence.
She angled her face, as if to study me.
"Okay." She said a devilish smirk playing on her lips.
I was worried now.
Putting her hands on my biceps she pushed me back. The back of my knees had hit her bed causing me to fall back. I had he on top on me and it seemed like thats exactly how she wanted it.
Thats exactly how I wanted it.
Grabbing her by the back of her neck I dragged her lips to mine.
And yet again, I was home.
Okay! WOO! Super short and i'm sorry about that but, its really late right now and i'm super sick, but this should be enough to tie you all over for now!
