More Than Friends

What are we now?

I walked in inside and slid down against the door, trying to take in what had just happened. I had a ridiculously huge grin on my face as I walked to my room. Falling asleep wasn't hard since it was late and I have no idea what I dreamt. All I could think of was Annabeth.
The next day I woke up around 10 and texted Annabeth to see if she wanted to meet somewhere to talk. She said yes and we agreed to meet at 11. I got ready and left.
We ended up at a little cafe(think 13 reasons why coffee shop) and we both got a hot chocolate with marshmallows. It was great.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Annabeth asked.
"I just wanted to ask what we are now. It's okay if you say nothing, I just really like you and-"
"I don't know. What do you want to be?" She cut me off.
Determined not to blush, I took a breath and said, "I wan't to know if you want to maybe be by girlfriend?"
"Maybe." She said.
"Oh ok. You're not sure yet?" She probably didn't even like me that much. I was sure I had just screwed everything up when she leaned over and planted a soft kiss on my lips.
"You're adorable, Percy. Of course I would like to be your girlfriend."
It suddenly dawned on me that she was mocking me when she said 'maybe' and I smiled.
I grabbed her hand and helped her up, then we walked out of the cafe hand in hand.
We walked around a little bit and found ourselves at a record store, so we got some music. Then we went for lunch at chipotle.
I invited Annabeth to come over to my apartment since her parents were at a soccer game with her brothers and my parents were away for the weekend.
We went to my room and played some call of duty. Then we started watching a movie on my laptop. Something funny happened and we cracked up. When we stopped laughing we looked at each other and kissed. She tangled her hands in my hair and deepened the kiss. I did too.
I was faintly aware of my phone ringing quietly, but I didn't care. I'd check it later. We kept kissing for a few minutes, occasionally coming up for air.
We broke away smiling. Then we realized we had totally missed like five minutes of the movie, so we rewinded it.
Annabeth rested her head on my chest and ended up falling asleep. I turned off the movie and fell asleep too.
We were woken up by Annabeth's phone ringing loudly. It was her dad asking where she was. She told him she was at my apartment across the hall and hung up. Then she turned to me with a frown. "I have to go. Dinner." She said sighing.
I gave her a pouty face and made her promise to text me after. She promised and pecked me on the lips as she left.
I totally didn't wait by phone for her to text me.  Note the sarcasm. I did check my phone in the mean time though to see who called me. It was my mom. Oops.
I called her back and she picked up on the second ring. "Hey mom. Sorry I didn't answer earlier."
"It's okay. I just wanted to let you know that our trip was extended we aren't going to be back till Wednesday instead of tomorrow."
"Okay, mom. Love you. Tell Paul I say hi."
"I will. Love you too, Percy. See you soon."
"Bye."
I hung up and saw a text from Annabeth. I may have changed her contact name to Wise Girl. I clicked on my messages and saw her text:
Hi. :)
Hey. I responded.
Face time?
Sure. I nodded then realized that she couldn't see me nodding, so I face timed her.
Her face popped onto the screen. I waved. She smiled. We ended up talking for like five hours and then playing call of duty for another two while talking. By the time we hung up it was like one in the morning, so I decided to go to sleep.
