Chapter 10- Date
I waited outside my dorm room for Will to come and get me as he said. He came right on time, exactly at six he was walking towards the door. He looked good though, he wore a white t-shirt and blue jeans with a red flannel wrapped around his waist. Dam, that makes me look like shit.
I wore a dark blue shirt with a leather jacket on top and some black skinny jeans -hey, this was the best thing I packed in my bag- "You ready death boy?" he asked as he approached me.
"Of course, Sunshine," I replied with a smile.
He smiled and handed me a black rose. "Here, I saw it in the greenhouses and thought you might like it."
I looked at it and raised an eyebrow. "Is it poisonous?"
"Um, Professor Sprout said it wasn't," he said rubbing the back of his neck, I could have sworn there was blush on his face. "Smell it, I asked her to add an enchantment of Chocolate and Pomegranates."
"Really?" I asked, I brought the Rose to my nose and I inhaled the scent, he was right, it was a perfect mix of the things I loved. People tried to avoid bringing pomegranates up because it was all I had to eat for almost a week. They saved my life, they are the only reason why I survived for so long. "It smells great! Look smell it!"
He chuckled and I rose the Rose to his nose, he held on to my hand and helped me raise it higher, I mean, I'm short and he's around 6ft something. I blushed as he grabbed my hand. "You're right, it's the perfect mix." he let go of my hand and I dropped my arm to my side. "Are you ready to go? Do you need to do anything before we go?"
I thought for a moment. "No, I'm ready."
He smiled, "May I?" he held out his hand, did he want the rose? No, he wants my hand, um okay. I put my hand in his and he held on to it. Our hands felt like they were made for each other, I blushed and shied my face away. "Now, Professor McGonagall is letting us use an er fireplace as transportation."
"I could just shadow travel us there," I said with a smirk.
"Nope," he said with a smile swinging our hands. "I don't want you to see where we are going just yet."
"Fine," I grumbled. He dragged me to her office. He got this powder and dragged me to stand in the fireplace with him. He plugged my ears so I wouldn't hear him say anything. He threw the powder on the ground, we were engulfed in flames. I froze, something came to mind as that happened. I saw a flash of golden eyes but I didn't know what that meant. It felt important but for the moment everything important right now is Will.
"Where are we going?" I asked again.
"I still can't tell you, Death Boy."
"Come on," I whined. "I want to know."
"Just give me a second," he said. "I know this might be weird but I have to put a blindfold on you. I swear I won't let you fall."
"But-"
"No buts, I'm doing it anyway." He said.
There was no fighting this. "Fine, but if you make me fall I'm sending an army of skeletons after you."
He laughed and he grabbed something out of his pocket and stood behind me. I felt the softness of the blindfold on my face and I saw nothing. "Okay, so can you see anything?" he asked.
"Nope," I said.
"Good," he said, "Now come on," he said. He grabbed my hand and led me away.
"When are we getting there?" I asked.
"Just a few more steps."
What felt like forever we finally stopped. "Are we here?"
"Yup," he said popping the P. He unwrapped the blindfold from my face and I gasped. "Pretty isn't it?"
I smiled at him. "Where are we?"
"Times Square."
"It's great what are those things on the buildings."
"They are screens, like tv's but they mostly use them for ads," Will said.
"You're guessing," I said.
He laughed. "You're right, I'm from Texas, I have no idea what's going on."
I laughed this time. "I think it's sweet."
"Thank you," he said with a blush.
I grabbed his hand. "Is there somewhere we can go to eat?"
He laughed. "Of course, come on. Follow me."
He dragged me to a pizza place, the aura seemed familiar. "So, what do you want?"
"Can I get a pineapple Pizza?" I asked him.
He smiled as if there was a memory he was fond of. "Great, I'll get a pepperoni."
This seems very familiar. I smiled and took a seat. "Great, do we have to go up or does someone come here."
"I'll go up, don't worry Deathy I know just what we need." he smiled brightly and walked up to the line and stood, he only had about three people in front of him and it gave me some time to admire him. I mean why do I need Percy if I have him right here?
------------
"That was great," I said and sighed into the seat.
Will sat back too. "I told you." I crossed my arms.
"Do you have a plan to go next or are we just going back?"
"I have another plan but we are going to have to walk there."
"More walking?" I whined.
"Fine, I have an idea."
"Uh oh," I said. "We know how your ideas end."
"And how's that?"
"I don't know, it just felt like sometimes it goes wrong." I shrugged.
He smiled. "Well, this is a good idea."
"Let's hope so," I grumbled.
"Come on," Will said grabbing my hand. "We have so go to a bright area."
"But the suns down." I pointed out.
"Artifical light works too," he replied. He held on to my hand tighter and looked around, there was no one here anymore, many just got a pizza to go and left, the cashier person was on a phone with headphones in.
"Alright, hold on," he said and pulled me closer to him, th world seemed to bend before us and we disappeared, it was full-on sunlight for a few seconds before we reappeared under a lamp post in the- forest?
"Where are we?"
"We are somewhere, I mean Percy said it was a great place to see the city."
"Why were you getting advice from Percy?" I asked.
He smiled. "Is wittle Nwico Jewlous?" he asked in a baby voice, he then laughed. "He lives in Manhattan remember?"
I nodded my head slowly. "Right. I wonder how Sally's doing. I haven't seen her in forever."
"I'm sure she's doing just fine with Paul," he replied. He grabbed my hand again and dragged me over to a railing. "Look, you can see all of Manhattan here."
I gasped. "It's so cool, you can hear everything over here. The cars, the wailing of cop cars and the lights of every building."
"I know, it's so cool."
"Have you been here before?" I asked.
"No, this is the first time I've come here, Percy just seemed so excited when he spoke about this place I thought I'd take his word for it."
"Oh," I said, I checked my pockets and felt an old tissue. Gross. "Well, I'm glad we did this together, hold on for a sec. I have to throw something away."
"There's a trash can over there," Will said pointing to the can by the lamp post.
"Great, I'll be back," I said. I pulled out the tissue and threw it away. As I walked back I thought there was something behind me. I looked back and just as I did I felt myself falling. I closed my eyes ready for impact but I didn't feel much. I mean, I felt something hard but it was also soft and we're not standing on grass, I opened my eyes and saw that Will was holding on to me. I looked up at his eyes and saw the light, he had a bright pink blush on his face and I'm sure I did too. I felt like I was leaning forward and it seemed like he was too. It seemed like there was a pull between us and there was nothing we could do.
I was about a centimeter away from his lip when we both stopped. I looked at him and he looked at me as if asking for approval. I gave a slight nod and crashed my lips onto his. It was a soft and tender kiss but it seemed as if Will wanted more.
We pulled away and it was like something sparked in my brain. I kissed him again and deeper this time. I can't lose him. We pulled away breathless. "What was that for?" he asked.
"I thought you liked kissing me," I said.
"I don't want to force you when you've lost your memory," he said running a hand through his curls.
"Don't worry," I said walking closer to him, every step I took he took one back. I pinned him up to a tree and I leaned forward, he turned his head trying to resist my charms, I brought my lips to his ear and whispered, "I guess fairy tales are real cause I remember everything." my lips brushing his skin.
