Hey everybody! You guys are awesome. Anyway, I know that you have been waiting for soooo long for them to reunite, sooo, here it is! Love you all and feel free to review! :)
ANNABETH POV
I froze. There he was. Right in front of me. My brain died. I thought nothing but him. I couldn't move. I just stood there staring at him, a few feet away from him, with tears running down my face. His back was facing me; he didn't see me yet. I took a shaky step. Okay Annabeth, act cool. Say your sorry first and then maybe hug him. That would be reasonable. Plus, the whole camp was here. I can't kiss him in front of everyone! I wiped off my tears and poked his back. He turned around, he looked at me. His eyes, his face, his smile, his smell, his hair, and his lips all hit me hard, like a slap.
He took one look at me and smiled. It was a scared smile, though. He spoke first. "Hey, umm... about that night, I-" I didn't let him finish. I couldn't hold it in any longer. I burst. I grabbed his face and kissed him, long and hard. He tensed up a bit, but almost immediately melted into the kiss, and his arms snaked down and picked me up. Now, with my arms around his neck and legs around his waist, I rubbed his hair line, down his neck. He shivered. We pulled back and looked at each other. It felt like there was nobody but us; green and grey. I immediately burst into tears of relief and happiness. The biggest weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I buried my head into his chest. I clung to him so hard, I swear not even Zeus could pull me off.
I whispered into his chest while crying. "Percy, I'm so, so sorry. I didn't mean it, what I said. I took advantage of you and everyone and it fell apart and without you made me realize how much I needed you and I thought you were dead and I was going crazy and it hurt so bad and-"
He chuckled and shushed me, but when he pulled away to look at my face, he was tearing up. I stroked his cheek and looked him full blown in his amazing eyes. "I missed you so much, Percy. I love you." I whispered. When I said that the tears in his eyes let loose and streamed down his face. He pulled me in again, and I buried my face into his chest.
"Thank you" He whispered back, and I smiled. A full blown, big amazing smile. For the first time in too long. This Temporary Goodbye was officially over.
