After waiting in my room for about 30 or so minutes, I couldn't sit still anymore I had to move around. I was so anxious to get this talk over with and I didn't even know why. I wanted to talk to Percy about this. I want to get past this. I want to actually be with him. If he still wants me. That's another reason why I don't want to be with Percy. What happens when he doesn't want me anymore? What happens when I'm not enough for him because I'm not famous like all the other women he meets? Why should I even be trying to fix what relationship we have? I don't think I should even show up now, but if I don't take the risk of putting my heart out there I'll never know if we could have had something or not.
After deciding I would make an appearance instead of running like I promised not to do, I left for Starbucks early. As I was sitting at Starbucks I realized something, me and Percy could never have a peaceful conversation here let alone any other public place. We would get mobbed by fans!
I called Percy and told him this, thinking that he would have already known but it apparently skipped his mind that he is insanely famous where any and all girls would tackle him if they saw him. We decided to meet in an old bookstore. I bought Percy a coffee so I wouldn't feel bad about drinking mine in front of him. I was looking around the bookstore when I heard the jingle on the door ring alerting me that someone just came in. I walked out of the isle I was in and made myself visible to the person who came in. Percy walked in and looked around for me. I waved to get his attention and ushered him into the isle I was in before. We took seats in the comfy chairs that were seated in the isle. I choose this isle mainly because it's in the back of the bookstore so when people pass by outside they won't see Percy.
"Hey Annabeth, you look nice today." He said with a beautiful smile. I couldn't help but blush at him saying that. I don't know why I even blushed I never ever get embarrassed but it seems like when I'm around him, all my usual rules go out the window.
"Thanks Percy, you do too." I replied. I guess this is where I suck up my pride and stop being a child because it looks like I'm the one that's going to speak first.
"Listen Percy, I want to apologize first for freaking out like I did back there. It was very childish immature thing to do especially to run all the way out here, but I did need to see my family." I added a nervous laugh to the end of this, I didn't like apologizes, I never have. I usually just skip over them unless they are completely necessary, like now. "I realize that I had no reason to be upset for you kissing Rachel-" he started to interrupt me but I held my hand up for him to stop and let me talk. "We weren't dating nor did we say that we would be dating soon. I have come to realize that I don't want to be just friends with you. I want to be with you and I want to have a relationship with you but I'm scared. I've had bad experiences in the past-everyone has probably- but I just don't get over betrayal easily, I don't trust people easily, and I most defiantly don't pour out my heart to anyone. Really I don't even take into consideration what my heart feels, all I know is that I have always been living with my brain and I'm tired of it. I want to feel, I want to have someone care about me and not worry that I'm going to catch them cheating with my best friend. I just want what everyone else around me has." With a pause I said "I'll have you, if you still want me." I finished looking down. I couldn't look at him, I just poured out my heart to him and I couldn't bear it if he didn't want me, or feel the same way anymore. I was preparing myself for the rejection when he put his thumb and forefinger under my chin to lift my head. I looked at him and he had the biggest smile on his face that I had ever seen. "I still want you, I always will. I'm so glad you said this to me. I want to give you what everyone else has. I want you to love me too one day. I'm not asking you to say it now, but when you're ready. I'll be here for you every second of everyday. I love you Annabeth. Please just let me love you." Percy said. I looked into his eyes and saw the certainty and sincerity. I looked up and smiled at him "ok." I replied quietly. He then kissed me. He kissed me gently at first, with time it became more passionate until we had to come apart for air. We were both breathing heavier and he laid his forehead against mine. His right hand on my lower back holding me to him, his left hand behind my head. I realized then, that this couldn't be more right. We were meant for each other. He is exactly what I have been looking for.
AN: I think this concludes my story. I might do an epilogue once the summer starts and I might start a new story but I'm not sure. Thank you all for staying with me on this story. I have reread this and I can tell that I have obviously "matured" a bit since then and so has my writing. I'm sorry that I was such a horrible writer then lol. I have improved in my writing tons since then. I want to personally thank Spirit145 for telling me I was rushing. I really needed to know that lol, I knew something was wrong with my writing and that was it. I tend to rush things a lot, especially my writing. I think that's why these last few chapters were so much better. Thank you everyone. :D
