The Untold (Unedited)

Movie In A Room

Annika's POV

"Did you grab gummy worms?" I say from Hades bed.

After I had knocked on Hades door I popped my head in to ask if he wanted to do something else. He recommended a movie in his room and I agreed. I ran back to my room to shower and change, and by the time I came back Hades was putting a shirt on indicating he had done the same. Long story short we flipped a coin to see who would pick the movie and Hades won, so now I have to wait to see what the movie is. Stupid coin.

"You can't watch a movie without gummy worms." He said showing me the multiple bags he had. I clap my hands in excitement. Walking over he dumps all the crap he brought from the junk food pantry. I saw recesses pieces, twizzlers, popcorn, and a bunch of different chips.

"I could stay here forever." I say glorifying the junk.

"That's the plan isn't it?" Hades says as he slides on the bed reaching for the remote that was in my hands.

Was a movie a good idea?

Hades POV
I like being around Annika. I said in Zeus' office that she couldn't replace Persephone, but since deciding that I would be nice, and hanging with her helps me realize that she can't replace Persephone. She isn't Persephone and that's not what I want. Persephone left me with no explanation leaving me shattered and broken for more than a thousand years, then suddenly Annika comes with this ray of sunshine in this dark underworld and I try to push her away. Men can be so stupid and blind, but if I'm being honest I don't want another Persephone, I just want Annika.

I knew this movie idea would be trouble though. Granted I did want to hang out with her some more, but I didn't mean in my dark room, in my bed, with the notebook playing. What the hell was I thinking picking this movie anyway? Either way this seemed to be the most appropriate idea at the time, so I rolled with it.

"Can you pass the popcorn?" Annika said. She was sitting on my right side and we had a decent amount of space between us. We were at the part of the movie where Allie and Noah were deep in love. Going everywhere together, couldn't keep their hands off of each other. I missed that so much. I feel the bed move and I peek over to Annika and find she's folded into herself with her knees up to her chest. She also seemed to be a lot closer than she was the last time I looked over.

"Annika." I hear my own voice speak.

"Yeah." She turns to me and her beauty, as cliché as it sounded, made my heart stop. I had eternal life, but her looks could've killed me if I wasn't. Her dark hair was in a high ponytail with left out hairs that framed her perfectly heart shaped face amazingly.

"I've been wanting to talk to you about something." Grabbing the remote I pause the movie and Annika let's her legs fall straight and she shifts so she's facing me more.

"What is it?"

"Basically I want to say that the fates have had a history of making time speed up." I say unable to put my words into a comprehendible sentence.

"What do you mean?" She asks cocking her head a little. I stifle the urge to kiss her and continue on.

"Well what I mean is that they tend to want things to move quicker than they're supposed to. For example, hypothetically speaking, if two gods were destined to be together then they might make their feelings stronger than if it were two gods who weren't destined to be together or two people on the surface." I finish looking at her.

"So you're telling me, hypothetically of course, that if the fates really believed in a couple then they can rush them together?" She asks folding her arms.

"Yes."

"Is it such a bad thing since they're going to end up with each other anyway?" She says raising her eyebrow.

A challenge.

"Well shouldn't they want to get to know each other first?" I ask her beginning to gesture, something I did when I was in serious conversations or angry.

"Of course, but don't you think that the two people should get to know each other in other ways too?" She says. I see her slightly smirk in the dark and it makes me go crazy inside.

"What kind of ways Annika?" She smiles and shakes her head. Turning back to the TV she grabs the remote and presses play.

"It doesn't matter Hades, it was all hypothetical anyway." She leans against my headboard and I stare at her in disbelief. I've been played.

"Annika."

"What's up Hades?" She says without turning to me.

"Annika."

This time she ignores me and I roll my eyes deciding it would be best if I watched the movie, but that was an even worse idea.

"Let's watch another movie." I say. I idiotically forgot about the entire sex scene in this, and I absolutely refuse to watch it with my....What even is she to me?

"Why?" She says looking my way. I turn towards the movie and it's at the part where Allie decides to go find Noah, and recite her love for him.

"Well, I just noticed the time, and my favorite program is about to come on."

"Okay." She says. I sigh in relief, but as I reach for the remote she stops me.

"Wait for after this part. Rachel is going to tell Noah how she feels." She gushed. I roll my eyes and huff at my attempts to stop this madness.

"Annika, I'll be right back." I say getting up.

"Where are you going?" She asks sitting up slightly.

"I have to do something in my office really quick." I open and close the door just as Allie gets out of the car. I know I'm a grown ass man and all, but I just couldn't do it. That movie, and the gorgeous girl next to me. I said I would be nice, and the fates are working hard, but I'm just not ready for all of it.

Annika, what're you doing to me? And fates? You're just as bad.
