Chapter 9

Pietro's eyes snapped open and he bolted upright. His eyes darted around frantically searching the surroundings. He got to his feet and sighed. He remembered where he was now and why he was drenched. He turned to wake Kitty but stopped. WHERE WAS SHE!? He gave his surroundings a brief scan before breaking into a fit of panic. She had been right next to him when he had passed out and now she was gone! He cursed himself for being so stupid and not staying awake to watch her. Tears of frustration filled his eyes and he laughed a bit. He was getting so worked up sad she was probably out taking a walk. Pietro stood up and cupped his hands around his mouth.

"Kitty!!!!!!" he shouted and birds flew from their perches in trees, squawking angrily. Kitty stumbled into the clearing smiling, her arms full of apples.

"Hi!" she said cheerfully. Pietro's heart melted at the beautiful sight in front of him. Kitty was holding two apples in both hands, smiling cheerfully, her damp cloths clinging beautifully to her full figure. Her wet hair hung loosely on her shoulders, glistening in the sun. He smiled and barely withheld himself from almost taking her into his arms. She tossed him an apple and he caught it, smiling. She sat down on the ground, and looked up at Pietro expectantly, who immediately took a seat beside her.

"I see your ankles better," he said conversationally. (AN: I totally forgot about that^-^;) Kitty nodded.

"It's kinda sore still but at least I can walk on it," Kitty replied. There was an odd moment of silence before Kitty spoke again.

"It's kind of funny how we were both dumb enough to fall in," Kitty said taking a bite out of her apple. Pietro looked at her quizzically.

"Oh, I didn't fall in," he said nonchalantly, taking bite from his apple as well. Kitty stared at him a moment, blinking rapidly.

"Oh my god," she gasped, throwing herself on him and burying her face in his shoulder. She began to sob into his shoulder, her body trembling violently. Pietro looked at her concernedly. Pietro fell backward, bracing himself with his hands. He stared down at the beautiful girl.

"What's wrong?" he asked, wrapping an arm around her. She was clinging to him, and sobbing wildly.

"What's wrong Kitty?" he persisted sternly.

"Y-you," she said looking up at him with teary eyes. Pietro blinked.

"Me? What did I do?" he asked. She sniffled.

"You-you jumped in after me didn't you?" she asked, a small tear slipping out of her eye. Pietro wiped it away, frowning in frustration. Why was she crying? She was looking at him so fondly and it took every ounce of self control to not take her into his arms and kiss her.

"Yeah," he said softly. Kitty was only a few inches from his face.

"Why?" she whispered softly, drawing back a bit as his face drew nearer.

"I couldn't just let you drown ya know?" he said smiling and laughing a bit. She sniffled again and wiped a hand across both eyes before her vulnerable gaze transformed into an angry glare.

"What's so funny?" she asked huffily. He smiled and shook his head.

"Nothing. . ." he whispered. She eyed him curiously then stood up.

"Well, we best be going," she said brushing the dirt off of herself. Pietro could tell that she was embarrassed and trying to avoid the subject so he gave in. He stood taking her shoulders, making her face him.

"Kitty. . . ." he was at loss for words. What could he possibly say? Instead of using words he decided to use action. Slowly he lowered his face until they were just inches apart. She was staring up at him and making no struggle. Softly he pressed his lips to hers. Fireworks erupted inside of him and he smiled through the kiss. Never had he felt this deeply for a girl.

He drew back, smiling like an idiot. She blushed and walked in the other direction.
