{A/N: This chapter has no singing in it, I'm like in awe of that but hope you enjoy :D *}
Annie stood beside the gargoyle, on the roof of a building, feeling the cold wind breezing on by. Her hair fluttered in front of her face for a moment then she tightened then her grip on her jacket. Her once bright red painted lips now a dark burgundy color, her eyes still green. She raked her nails down the stone slightly as she saw his house near by, he was at the window—and she felt like she wanted to cry. She was so close yet did nothing.
She glanced away, as if thinking about something then looked away again, back to the window, he looked upset—distraught about something but still she did nothing, said nothing. Tears watered her eyes even though she didn't want this, it hurt—and Rotti knew it.
"Nathan, what's wrong?" She whispered, feeling the rain already starting to pour down, her hair and clothes now soaked. He turned and was then out of view. Where was he going? Perhaps Largo had really wanted her to visit Nathan, maybe.
She shivered then, shaking slightly as she sat down on the roof, leaning against the gargoyle slightly still, letting the rain fall on her. She didn't know if it was rain or tears running down her face now as she whimpered softly, feeling hurt now from all these feelings then she looked back at the window, wishing he would be there again but then shook her head, her hair now sticking to her face thanks to the rain. A slight grin played on her lips then, teasing her then she gave a small smile as she slowly stood up then a frown twisted into place once again.
It wasn't wonderful like he had said it would be, and it wasn't quaint. She could feel that tingle in her sides again, but shook her head, cringing once then sighed softly, running her hands through her already wet hair, tucking it behind her ears as she closed her eyes, enjoying the rain then re-opened them a moment later, looking back at the house, at the window then looked away, turning around and leaned against the gargoyle for a moment before walking across the room to the middle of it.
He had been wrong, both of them were…she knew it had to be that way. How else would it be? This wasn't important though, it didn't matter…it was pointless and stupid. She wrapped her arms around her, looking as if she were hugging herself for a few moments before then falling to the roof floor, whining softly for a moment then sat up slowly, her jacket now partially of her shoulders. She was angry at them, at him, at herself…letting this all happen made her feel so upset and she wanted to cry, it sounded annoying and stupid to her, it really did.
This wasn't right, and she felt disgusted, just as she was angry and upset. Maybe she should go find Graverobber…yeah…He'd make things better. Wait…No! No, he wouldn't. She shook her head, making another small noise, feeling so weak at the moment and that's what disgusted her now. Why did she feel like she needed him, or wanted him to be here with her? She didn't love him, she didn't care…about him. Did she? He was sweet, and a gentleman…but he had a different side to him too, it was odd and particularly pleasant in a way. It was expected of him to be that way, and she was use to it…but it made her funny sometimes being around him, like she had a crush even though she was in love with someone else…but that couldn't be right, she couldn't feel that way, at least that's how she saw it.
She shut her eyes for a moment again, wiping at her face as the rain slowly went form pouring to just sprinkling down gently, she opened her eyes again then, standing up onto her feet. Having a small smile set upon her lips again as she turned around, wiping the lipstick off her lips with the sleeve of her jacket, glancing back at the house one last time before turning away and walking over to the door that lead into the building, closing the roof door close as she walked down the set of stairs, tucking her still wet hair behind her ears.
Annie walked outside of the building, then down the street and around a corner only to get slammed up against the wall roughly, hands wrapping around her wrists, and heavy weight leaning into her. There was Graverobber, who didn't look to happy with her, he frowned in slight disgust it seemed as his lips twisted into a frown.
"Where have you been?" He asked, still looking at her as if disgusted
She looked at him confused then tried to slip out of his grip, yanking roughly "I thought you were gentlemen." She told him, growling slightly as she yanked herself somehow out of his grip, turning and walking down the now dirt path, heading over to a door-way but then felt him wrap a hand around her left fore-arm, yanking her back to him, their faces inches apart
"You owe me." He told her, sounding annoyed, a bit ticked off really
"I owe you nothing." She glared at him, narrowing her eyebrows then saw him give a look that could be suggestive but then he scoffed softly as if not amused by her
He placed a hand over her chin, cupping it then, tugging her closer "There's more ways to pay other than cash, Annie."
She looked at him as if now disgusted, trying to shove him away roughly and started to squirm, he only then kissed her forehead and her breathing trembled again as she felt his chest pressed against hers, his body pressed against hers again and she shook her head.
"I'm not going to do this…" Then finally was able to shove him away, he stumbled back, staring at her as if a bit confused now and shocked and she only shook her head again "I already told you I don't need you."
"Yes, you do." He nodded, a side-grin appearing on his lips "You know you do." And he chuckled, shoving his hands into his jacket pockets
"This is so annoying." She whispered, and he quirked an eyebrow
"What?"
"You being here, flirting with me." She saw him shake his head as if now amused, not like moments before though, when he was still annoyed with her "I'm in love with someone else, and you know it, yet you do this. And Rotti Largo always finds me, plus Luigi and Pavi can't keep their hands off me when I'm around them. Don't you think this is annoying, completely unattractive?"
He shrugged as if he didn't have anything better to do, sighing softly then began to whistle and she frowned again
"Stop that."
"Stop what?" He asked playfully, teasing her now
"You know what, stop it now."
He looked at her then, shaking his head as he turned around, walking back down the dirt-pathway, about to go around the corner but then he looked at her before completely going out of view, his hand on the stone wall as he grinned "Just remember you owe me." Then he was out of view as said, and she sighed as if bored and tired but shrugged, turning around and headed on through the door-way, already back to being annoyed again but also bored
