Chapter 7
Aphrodite's pov
I was surprised when Zoey didn't pull away from me. It gave me more confidence, so I deepened the kiss, wrapping my arms around her, pressing my body to hers. At that moment I felt her body stiffen a little, but she didn't push me away, so I released my grip a little.
When the kiss ended we were both breathing hard. I looked deep into her eyes, then bowed my head and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. I…I didn't mean to jump at you so suddenly like that."
She touched my shoulder lightly. "Aphrodite…if I really wanted to stop you…I could've done it easily."
I glanced up at her face and noticed she had a small smile on her lips. That made me relax a little, enough for me to ask, "So…does this mean that…you- you like me too?"
Her smile faded as she thought of what to say, I was so afraid she would say no. What would I do if she did? I'd feel so embarrassed. I'd just kissed her and I didn't even know if she liked me. Oh Goddess! Now I just felt like an idiot.
She took a deep breath and opened her mouth to say something, finally. However, right at that moment, I heard the door open. Like if I'd burned myself, I jumped away from Zoey and looked at whoever had come in, hoping that it wasn't Darius again. I could feel my face turning red as I saw Stark standing next to the door staring at Zoey.
"Zoey! Your awake!" He said as he ran to her, smiling.
Zoey's pov
All I could do was stare as Stark ran to me. I knew that he hadn't seen what had just happened between me and Aphrodite, but I couldn't make myself speak. I was still in shock and was feeling more confused than ever. I mean, I liked Stark. A lot. But…
I glanced at Aphrodite for a second, then quickly looked away. I'd liked it when she kissed me, but I kept denying it to myself, because I was afraid of what that would mean.
"Zoey? Are you okay?" Stark's worried tone made me remember where I was, and I felt my face turn bright red. I swallowed hard and nodded slowly. "I'm okay…"
I saw Aphrodite twitch slightly then walk towards the door. "I'll just leave you two alone." I could hear a slight note of jealousy in her voice. That made me want to cry. Why did my life have to be so complicated all the time?
I know that I had to talk to Stark, but I really needed to figure out what I was going to do about Aphrodite.
I know this chapter is really short...i'm trying to make them longer. Anyway, so do you guys think she should talk with Stark or Aphrodite first? PLZ review :)
