SOULMATES

Twelve...

PERCY'S POV.

I don't know how it happened but I was in deep shit right now . I couldn't get her out of my head no matter how hard I tried. If I wasn't thinking about her beautiful smile, I was recalling something she said.

I must admit we've been hanging out a lot lately. I wasn't complaining though. In fact it had become a normal routine that if I don't see her in a day, the day doesn't feel complete.

It was like getting addicted to a drug. And it was scaring the shit out of me ! I was so fucked at the moment. I was suppose to explore her weakness and get her attached not the other way around.

The initial plan was to get  her to do whatever I wanted and then having a prove to show my friends that I actually took her virginity, I win the bet,take my money and get rid of her. But things are taking a strange cause.

I realized that I  had feelings for her. She's so beautiful. I could hardly take my eyes off her. She was growing on me and how angry I became when I saw another guy around her frightened me. I was in no doubt, in love with Phoebe.

Of cause I wasn't  going to be that weak.

"Just wait and see,after getting what you want,you'll feel no better about her than all other girls.."

I told myself.

But I'd have to act fast. Two months has been long enough. My friends were beginning to suspect that I wasn't  getting anywhere with her.. And that Harold guy was not making it any easier. So tonight would be the night. Just a climbs of affection in her eyes and I'd be gone already. Yeeaaa. Tonight she's accepted my invitation to our usual party after what seemed like forever.

              I glanced at my watch for what seemed like the thousand time. where the fuck was she? What if she didn't show up? Oh no....I couldn't start thinking negative now. Just then she walked in and oh my....I seized breath.

                 The dress fitted so perfect. I stood up without even knowing it. She smiled that perfect smile of hers and the only word that escaped my lips  was," wow". She smiled shyly and mumbled

" thanks."

"Have a seat please." I offered  pushing Nessa away from her seat.

"Wow Phoebe, you look splendid tonight!" Sam commented, earning a snarl from me.

"Yea ,I already told her."

~~~

                              That night was an unforgettable night. We danced.I couldn't hide my grin as all the guys in there kept staring. I had my hands tightly around her waist,claiming possession and sending warning signals. She didn't protest.I knew she wanted to piss Nessa. Finally she asked to go home.

"Now? " I asked with worry written all over my face.

"It's getting late." She said calmly.

"Can't you wait a little longer? Your dad isn't in town and your brother is probably enjoying himself somewhere. Don't you want to stay with me? " I asked, touching her chin lightly.

"I w...want..to but.." She stammered.

* That's it girl....*

"Then stay with me. Don't go....please." I gave the saddest face ever. She looked confuse.

A part of me really wanted her to stay with me, not because of my evil intentions but just to have her around. I didn't know what it was but her presence was calming. Looking at her made me feel as though it was just the two of us in the world and it was perfect. I could see the doubt and fear and confusion all swimming in her eyes and I kept my fingers crossed. *Please stay*

"Ok fine."

She exclaimed and I wanted to jump up and down.

"Good girl!"

I said and pulled her against me inhaling the intoxicating scent that was her and allowing myself to relax against her soft body.. We remained that way for almost an hour.the music had turned slow and we followed the example of other couples on the dance floor. I put my hands around her waist and hers went around my neck. Soon we had slumped into each other. After some time I  pulled away and took her hand.

"Let's get out of here." I  said.

Oh God. My heart began to throb. I dragged her out through the crowd and up the stirs and without knowing I found myself leading her to my room. Upon reaching the last room at the end of the long hall way, I searched through my pocket and brought out my key, turned the nob and pushed the door open. She stepped in behind me and I locked the door behind.

"Welcome to my humble abode."

I Sung.
     I took a seat on the edge of the bed and parted my side for her to do same. She remained her position.

"Will you keep standing and staring at me? "

I asked with a grin on my face. She swallowed and stepped towards me. As she tried to sit I grabbed her from behind and pulled her to sit on me .

"What are you doing Percy?"

She shrieked as she landed on my laps. She pushed my hands away and sat down beside me, her face as red as it could ever get. I gave a  laugh.

"You scared?" I asked.

"Me? .n..no"

She answered but I could see through that lie. The fear was so obvious on her face, in her voice. My heart twitched painfully in my chest. Suddenly all plans had eluded me. I didn't give a damn about one stupid bet. All I cared about was to ease her shaking figure, assuring her that I wouldn't do anything she wouldn't want me to do. I wanted her to believe I would never hurt her. I  took her hand in mine and said,

"But you're shaking."

She looked away. I reached for her chin and turned her head so that she was facing me. I looked into her eyes and she stared back m

"Don't be. I won't hurt you ok."

I whispered and saw her eyes soften.

I moved my hands to her cheek and brushed my fingers on it.she shivered. I didn't want to do it again, this stupid bet....at least not then but I needed to get this over with.

I needed to get her out of my life before the worse could happen. Before I could reach that stage of no return. Before nothing else would matter but her love. I just couldn't do that to myself; fall in love especially not with her. She was too good to be true..it wouldn't work.

"You're so beautiful Phoebe."

I said, swallowing the bitter bile that rose in my throat. At least I wasn't lying about that.

Her eyes were locked on mine but me, I was looking at her coloured lips. I learned forward and touched my forehead with hers,still holding onto her head.she didn't blink.

                 I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding onto and she closed her eyes. Wasting no time at all,I covered her coloured lips with mine. She stiffened and touched my shoulder. Seconds later,she was kissing back.

*What in the world are you doing!"

I screamed in my head.
