Mount Olympus [9]

Bethany

I nod and swallow. So it could never happen.

Austin

Then why the hell is Elijah in charge? Confused, I look back at her, "What are you thinking? You've got this... forlorn look in your eyes."

Bethany

I shake my head, "Nothing."

Austin

I study her before stomping my cigarette out and heading up the stairs. Looking back at her, the world pauses again and leaves my head pounding afterwards. What the hell is it about her? Why does that happen only when I look in her eyes?

Bethany

I close my eyes and run a hand through my hair, sighing and resting my forehead on my knees.

Austin

I hesitate before opening the door to the house, looking back to find Elijah walking out. Closing the door, I watch him shift and bolt into the woods again. With a confused sigh, I sit on the steps and wait.

Bethany

I glance at him before shaking my head, F*ck it. Who cares. And pull him into a heated kiss, closing my eyes.

Austin

I struggle for a moment, completely caught off guard, before slowly closing my eyes and kissing her back.

Bethany

I hesitate before gently bringing a hand to the side of his face, not wanting to hurt him.

Austin

I move an arm around her and set a hand in her hair, keeping my eyes closed and going along with it.

Bethany

Something burns in my chest leaving me wanting more, and I pull him closer, not knowing what's going on. Its the emotions.

Austin

I let her pull me closer, tightening my arm around her, and feel all those warm and fuzzies that gooey TV shows and movies are always talking about.

Bethany

I speed across to the side of the house and take him with me, leaning against it and going on my tip toes.

Austin

I feel her rush me away somewhere but don't dare look in fear of getting dizzy. Instead, I keep my eyes closed and my arms around her.

Bethany

I bring my other arm around his neck and my forehead against his.
