"And then I got trapped here and he invited me over for drinks. He started calling me cute and we got into an argument about it. And then heβ" Attacked my mouth, "kissed me," Percy settled on, still staring down at the swaying water.
"I, ah, ran away when things started getting too fast. I thought he was simply drunk and therefore desperate to have those physical needs satisfied. I didn't think he'd want to date me. When we finally talked, however, apparently he did. I still thought he was β for reasons unknown β lusting after me." Saying those words made a blush crawl up Percy's neck.
"We made an arrangement. The terms were we would spend time together for a week, with no physical contact, so that Oliver could see I was boring and not someone he wanted to date. I didn't think he'd last a day," he admitted with a faint smile.
