i was driving when i noticed the tall buildings. new york.
i nudged percy, who was silently sleeping. i couldn't blame him, it was four am and the sky was dark as coal. the stars were twinkling brightly, and the moon was so big it looked like a white blanket covering new york.
percy opened his eyes , and instantely smiled. he saw it too. the big buildings, skyscrapers, the lights. it was a beautiful sight. the two of us sighed and looked at each other. i smiled, and stared ahead. i drove into the city and my eyes searched for a nice looking cafe.
i saw decent looking one, called café grumpy. it was a bakery. i stopped the car and got out. percy followed me inside the cafe. open twenty four hours apparently. inside it smelled of chai lattes and freshly baked cake pops. percy immediately rushed to the window which held the goodies.
he took out his wallet, as i sat down at a table. i saw him order two chocolate chip and macadamia nut brownies and two hot chocolates. he smirked at me, as the lady at the cash register gave him his change. he sat down, and handed me the hot chocolate and a brownie.
''so.'' i say, taking a chuck off of the brownie.
''so.'' percy replies, sipping the hot chocolate.
''we made it percy. we actually made it. im kind of surprised to be honest''
percy laughed , closing his eyes. ''of course we did , babe. ''
my heart skipped a beat. he called me, babe. i blinked a few times, feeling my cheeks go bright red. i thought boys only call their girlfriends babe. i wasn't his girlfriend. was i? maybe he thought that were dating because we were travelling together. is it that simple?

we payed the landlord two hundred and ninety - eight dollars to keep an apartment for four days. personally , i thought that was a great price. i didn't know people could go this cheap in new york. the apratment was nice. the bed was white. there was only one bed which made the two of us walk in silence for a while.
there was a kitchen, and a sitting room in which there was a huge glass window from where you could see a lot of new york. the bathroom was tidy, with a bath, and a shower. the sink was pretty.
at six am the two of us sat on the bed. i was wearing a band tshirt and boy boxers. i didn't think that was in anyway sexual, but i couldnt help notice that percy was staring at me.
i stood up and brushed down my legs. i looked at percy for a while.
''do you want to just make out?'' i asked percy , shrugging my shoulders.
he looked at me, and stood up. he put his hand on my cheek, and quickly pressed his lips against mine. the feeling was monumental. the momet was beautiful.
he lifted me up and i wrapped my legs around his waist, holding his face in both my hands. he dropped me onto the bed and took off his shirt. i stared at him, and smiled. who wouldn't. he was gorgeous.
