Once they were out of campus, Percy grabbed her hand, and they began running across the streets. “Come on, Annie, run faster, didn’t you say you were in your high school’s track team?” he chided her, a smug grin pulling at his lips for using her least favourite nickname, knowing full well how much it would annoy her, yet what he didn’t , and wouldn’t know if she had her way, is that the nickname which she grew to hate, as it reminded her of the days she spent with her dad and stepmom, sounded like music to her ears when he said it.
“First of all, don’t call me Annie unless you want me to call you Seaweed brain, second of all, I have no idea where we’re going, I mean you could be kidnapping me for all I know, so how about a little hint huh, maybe then I might run a little faster and show you my true running superpowers” she tried to say seriously but failed to hide a few giggles.
“Nope, still not gonna tell you. Also, Seaweed brain has a nice ring to it, don’tcha think wise, girl?” he said, sneaking a glance at her from the corner of his eye as they took a second to catch their breaths.
She huffed, He laughed.
“Anyways we made it to our destination, and you haven’t been kidnapped” he said while making exaggerated gestures towards the ice rink they were standing in front of.
“This could all be fake, you know, like it could be an abandoned warehouse that gangs meet at under the pretence of going ice skating sooo.” She said, trailing off
“Har Har Har, hilarious, let’s go grumpy before the rink’s ice melts” he pulled her with him and she felt glad that she chose to wear sneakers instead of heels or else she would’ve been on the floor two pulls ago.
A love story between heaven and hell, pasts forged in blood and pain colliding. A blooming love is tainted by the past'...
