My Version of Burned
Chapter 6
Zoey's POV
"Okay, we'll be over in a minute." I assured Aphrodite on the phone and then waited for her to hang up on me.
If I was honest, I had absolutely no idea what could be so important that she had to wake me up now. She had never needed me and Stark at such short notice, especially in the middle of the day – day = night for us – and as well as that, she knew that Stark would most likely be sizzled if he went outside at this time of the day.
I went to sit back down on our bed and starting staring at my Stark; he just looked so peaceful. Softly, I caressed his cheek with my index finger.
"Zhoeyere..." He mumbled in his sleep making me smile lovingly at his cuteness. I stroked his face one last time, expecting him to wake up but when he didn't do what I wanted him to, hell broke loose.
"STARK, WAKE UP!" I shouted into his ear, shoved him noisily onto his side so that he was facing me and then slapped his cheek like a boss.
Not that cheek, you sick-minded people...although I wish it had been...
Okay, so not the time.
"Urghhh!" He replied like a caveman, trying to push me off of my own bed. Instead, I climbed back into it, under the covers, fully dressed, and then wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Nu-uh, you ain't getting rid of me that easily." I whispered into his sore ear and then smiled sweetly at him.
"Whah-evha." He responded, turning around to face away from me.
"Hey!" I gasped, pretending to be hurt by his action, "Don't you like me at all anymore?"
That woke him up.
"I'm sorry, I'm just really tired. Of course I like you," He told me solemnly, turning around to look at me in the eyes, "I love you..."
Grinning at me, I traced his happy lips with my finger before lightly kissing him on the lips. He replied by wrapping his arms around my waist and pressing his body into mine. I might have moaned a little and moved my hands up to his hair to knot my fingers in but then, all of a sudden, he snorted. It would have usually been funny if I hadn't wanted to kiss him some more.
Slightly pulling away, I looked at his face in confusion.
He had fallen asleep on me again. As well as that, he snored. Wow; loving life?
I didn't know what was up with Stark lately. The night before, we were all over each other and then, just like now, he fell asleep on me. The same thing happened again about half-way through the night. It was like doing what we were made him tired.
Oh hell, maybe he was tired of me but didn't want to offend me by letting me know after my near-death experience? That would majorly suck and not just waking up in the morning with nappy hair suck.
I tried to distract my mind from the thoughts I started having as I wondered over to my private bathroom. Despite all of the mess that was going on, I had to admit that my luxury shower did make it much better. There were no words to describe how amazing it was.
After a long, and very much needed, soak, I gave up on trying to get Stark up and made my way over to Aphrodite's room.
And the entire way there, I couldn't help but think of the worst possibilities for why she would need both of us there that very second.
A/N: I know that this chapter is unusually short but that's only because I decided to split it into two parts because it's two different POV's. The next chapter will be Aphrodite and I hope you liked this chapter despite the shortness:3 love you!
