Zoey?
Stark?
Crap! Stark is in my head.
I'm in your head? You're in my head! Oh goddess. I didn't think this would actually happen.
What? What happened Well, when a warrior and his Lady have sex, they can hear each others thoughts. He sounded apprehensive.
I was speechless. Or thoughtless more like it. I didn't even know that was possible. Well i suppose, i mean if someone can read emotions, i suppose they would be able to read pointless babble was interrupted by Stark.
"Zoey can you please say something?" It surprised me that he spoke it. It shouldn't have though.
I said the first thing I thought of, so naturally I sounded like an idiot. "Did you hear any of that?"
He laughed. "Yes, now i know what goes on inside your head, when your not listening." He chuckled to him self.
"So will you be able to hear everything?" I asked. This could be very embarrassing.
"You're telling me? Ill never be able to perv on you with out you knowing." He flashed my favorite cocky smile.
"But i think you can keep somethings to yourself." He said, which made me feel better.
"Cool." I said. And then i thought about how all this happened. It was one of the best moments of my life.
"Me too." Stark said. And smiled then he asked, "So what now?"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well..." He looked embarrassed. "Am i your, you know, boy friend now?" He asked.
Was that what he was getting at?
"Well, only if you want to." I said.
"Well, i want to." He said, with a little blush.
"So, your my boyfriend, and my Warrior. Awesome combination." I said.
YAY! Zoey is my girlfriend. I started to laugh.
"You heard that didn't you?" He asked.
"Yep, all of it." I said.
"Well i think we should have our first kiss. As a couple." It made my stomach flutter to hear him say that.
"I think we should, too." I said, before he pulled me up with him, and he kissed me. The kiss was so sweet, and soft that it took my breathe away.
We kissed for what seemed like ages. Eventually we broke apart, gasping for breath.
"I love you, Zoey Redbird. Forever." He said.
And suddenly, with out a warning, i realized his love is the best sound i had ever heard.
"I love you, too." I said.
"Same." he said. I looked at him, a question mark look on my face.
"Your love is the best sound i have ever heard." He said, with a smile.
I smiled back. Every time he smiled, i smiled. It was like it was contagious.
"I don't get what you like about me though. Like, i know i had the hottest body, but still." He said.
"You just get me, you know? When you first came to Tulsa, I just got you. I don't know how to explain it." I said, struggling for words.
"I know. That's how i felt. I knew i loved you the minute I saw you, the beautiful girl sitting and stroking her physco cat."he chuckled
I couldn't say anything, because there was a huge lump in my throat. Thank you, I thought.
"You're welcome." he said.
"I think I always knew I loved you, but when you first came to Tulsa I was a mess." I said, when the lump in my throat had cleared.
"I love you James Stark." I said
"I love you Zoey Redbird."
"C'mon we have to go down to breakfast."I said.
"Yeah, lets go." He said
Stark and I walked into the dining hall, hand in hand. Aphrodite was looking at us weirdly.
Don't worry about her. It was still surprising it hear Stark's vocie in my mind.
"Hey guys," I said when we had reached the table.
"Hi." the gang chorused back.
"Ohmygoddess Jack are they blueberry pancakes?" I asked when i looked down at his plate.
You and your pancakes. I saw Aphrodite roll her eyes at me.
"Don't think I didn't see that, Aphrodite." I said.
"Yep, and they even have choc-chip ones." Replied Jack.
"Cool," I said as Stark and i sat down.
Aphrodite can be a bitch sometimes, thought Stark.
I know.
"What was that Zoey?" Aphrodite asked.
SHIT! She knows, you must have said it out loud, Thought Stark.
"Oh erm, nothing." I said.
Breakfast continued normally, apart from me and Stark sneaking looks at us. Aphrodite caught us out and mouthed busted to me.
I felt my face get really hot, and Damien thought i had started to choke, asked if i was okay before thumping me on the back.
"Yeah, Zoey, you really should chew your food." She said, smirking. That earned her a death stare from me, but i don't think she was all that fussed, she was having a great time.
After breakfast she pulled Stark and i aside.
"I know what you did." She said, not bothering to beat around the bush.
I felt my face get hot, but Stark kept his cool and asked, "And what was that?"
"Oh please. Do you think im an idiot? You two have had sex." She said.
Crap!, Came from me.
Ah hell, came from stark.
Aphrodite continued. "And i know what happens when a Warrior and his Lady have sex: they can hear each others thoughts. Our little Zoey proved that at the table when she let slip. Just because the others are morons, doesn't mean I am." She finished.
"Okay that may be true, but how did you know that?" I asked.
"Goddess, Zoey, just because you didn't read the Fledgling Handbook, doesn't mean the rest of us didn't. I really hate to sound like Queen Damien, but you really should read more." She said.
She has a point you know? you really should read more. And i like it when a girl shows she has brains. It's sexy.
Shut up, I thought as I rolled my eyes at Stark.
"What?" Aphrodite asked. She looked quite worried.
"Stark said that i should be more like him and read more, and - " No way was i going to say anything else. "Never mind."
She raised her eye brows and then walk off, to find Darius i suppose.
She is a weirdo... so what are we going to do today.
do you want to bum around, I can't be bothered doing anything? I asked.
"Zoey, we all agreed that we should meet, in about an hour, to discuss what we are going to do." Darius called to us.
Or we could have a meeting with the others, Stark suggested sarcastically.
