Annabeth's Story

I'm in 'love'

Maybe tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow. Those were the words that Simon repeated to Annabeth for 6 months now. He knew he needed to tell her. If he didn't how would he know if Annabeth could be the one. "Alright, you can do this," Simon whispered to himself while looking in the mirror. Simon was finally gonna tell Annabeth about his 'before'.

Simons P.O.V

"Hey babe, can you come over?" I asked Annabeth.

"Sure, sure, of course, when?" Annabeth responded.

"Well I was thinking now, come over now."

"It's literally 2 in the morning Si! What's wrong? You okay?"

"Damn I love it when you call me Si! Yeah I'm fine, I just need to talk you about something."

"I know!" Annabeth said with a smile. "But really can't this wait until real people hours!?"

"No baby, I need to talk to you now!"

"I don't know Si, maybe if you have me a clue..?"

"Alright fine. It's about maybe tomorrow, Ann."

Annabeth widened her eyes. "OH. I'll be right there." She clicked the line off as she put on her slippers and grabbed her keys.

Annabeths P.O.V

I raced over to Simons house, good thing it was 2 in the morning, Annabeth thought, no traffic. As I reached Simons doorstep my hand slipped into the pocket of my pokadotted pajama pants and closed my fingers around the key Simon had given me. I slipped inside of Simons loft, carefully and quietly. Little did I know Simon really was ready to talk, he was already standing by the front door, probably shocking me for the first time since the ancestors pushed me into the drizzle. "Holy fuck, Si you scared the crap out of me!"

"Oh, sorry. I'm sorry babe, I didn't mean to." Simon grabbed me softly and massaged and relaxed my shoulders. I felt myself give in, but not for to long . . . have to stay on task I thought. I slowly turned myself to face Simon and kissed his cheek, being on my tiptoes of course.

"Si, as good as that felt, and as good as it would feel to know about maybe tomorrow it can wait until you're ready. I can tell that you're tense, I should be the one rubbing your shoulders right now." I told Simon.

"No I'm ready, I swear."

"Are you sure? We could just go up to your room and cuddle..!?"

"No Ann, I mean yes, but later okay. I'm ready to tell you about everything."

At this I knew Simon was in fact going to tell me everything, I'd have to open up some sort of something to him too, it's the only way.

"So we have been dating for awhile? This isn't weird right? Simon asked.

"No no Si this is good, okay?! We've been dating for 9 months now, I think it's time to open up, okay." I replied.

"You're not mad I called and dragged you out of bed at 2am?"

At this I was pretty annoyed. I mean he could've called me as a reasonable time, but no, now had to be good. Of course I didn't say that though.

"Mad at you? Come on Si never could I be mad at you." I smiled and kissed him firmly on the lips this time.

Simon definitely seemed to enjoy this. He swooped me up, my legs crossing around his hips. He kissed me all over my face and down my neck, I giggled.
We never could stop laughing.

Simons P.O.V

I set Ann down on the couch, facing me. We'd both finally controlled ourselves from laughing any further and now was my time to tell her about maybe tomorrow, my 'before' life. I knew it was wrong to keep it from her all this time, but I was telling her now, doesn't that count for something?

We talked for hours about my 'before life' how I was abused, bullied. About the adoption, and getting sent back, about the death of my so called 'family' and how Annabeth was all I had left.

She returned the opening up, though I had thought she already told me everything. She told me about how she's never known who her dad was. How she's never really had a guy in her life before and that she was glad she'd found someone like me.

Well
the talking was over, we'd gotten everything out, so we sat there cuddled up on the couch. Suddenly Ann turned to me, a gorgeous sparkle in her already beautiful Emerald eyes. "What babe is something wrong?" I asked her.

"No Si everything fine, it's just... can I tell you something?" She nervously replied bitting her lip.

"Yeah of course, what is it?" Ann was never nervous, so it made me nervous that she was nervous.

Ann looked back up at me shyly smiling, "I 'love' you, Si. I really do!"

Damnit, I thought to myself, I wanted to say it first. Mostly I was shocked the girl of my dreams loved me, for me she loved me after I told her about my past and she wasn't mad instead she told me she loved me!

"I love you too! So so much," was all I could say back, smiling from ear to ear.

We kissed our most passionate kiss after that, both of us stopping to smile, soon falling asleep in each other's arms. God I love her. I'm never letting her go.
