He kissed her one more time. She glanced up to him as he pulled back from the embrace that they were currently in. She knew that look in his eyes. He wanted to talk, and it was serious. This wasn't completely unexpected, though. Auggie had just shown up at her doorstep asking to talk and then just kissed her. It wasn't just that, though, she had kissed him back.

She ran her hand along his arm until she found his hand. She slowly entangled her fingers with his before she held on and led him toward her window seat. Annie took the seat that was against the wall and put her legs up loosely to her chest. He sat at her feet and messed with the hem of her jeans, just above her ankles.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. She then decided to speak first. "Auggie?" She asked, "Are we going to talk?"

"You know, Annie, when I came here tonight, I had every reason to turn around. I had every reason to turn back and have things stay the same between us." He heard her intake breath. "But I also had every reason not to. You and I haven't been the same since Barcelona. We weren't as close, and I got to wondering what it was about Parker that made you so distant. Then, when I figured out why, it was already too late. You were in a coma and I couldn't do anything to help you. I felt like my world was coming apart right then. And when you woke up, you were so concentrated on Lena that I knew if I told you, you could get hurt... Distracted..."

"Auggie..." Annie breathed. She wasn't in the emotional condition to deal with this, yet she knew she had to face it.
He continued. "I said some things to you in the hospital, personal things. And I don't have the slightest idea if you ever heard them. You helped me survive, Annie. I care about you... I need you Annie, and I never need anybody, but I need you. You help me think things through. But, you also help me be less uptight. With you, I always feel the need to put that much more effort into anything than I would with just anybody. You make me smile, and laugh, and cry, and worry, and go crazy when you get yourself into trouble. And, I need that, Annie." He gave her a second to comprehend what he was saying. Just as he was about to continue talking, her hand cupped his cheek.

She kissed him quickly on the lips before speaking. "I know I do stupid, crazy, irresponsible things all the time. And I know that I have put you in compromising situations before and I know that it put a lot of stress on you and I'm sorry that I do. But, you've got to understand, I feel like it's me against the world out there." She sighed. "And I know that you're there for me and that you always will be, but it's just different."
He found her hand and took it in his, placing his fingertips under her palm and his thumbs on the back of her hand. She continued talking, "I don't know why, I just can't get the feeling of being totally alone out of my mind. And, I'm glad you came over tonight because I finally know how you feel... And I understand that we've grown apart and I'm sorry about that, it's just that-"

Auggie cut her off with a kiss that she wasn't expecting. She leaned into his kiss and she reached up and grabbed his collar, forcefully pulling him towards her. Auggie's hands entangled in Annie's hair and her arms went around his neck. Annie was so lost in Auggie's kiss that she almost didn't notice her phone ringing, almost...

"Walker," Annie said into her phone as she separated herself from Auggie. She went to stand up, but she was stopped in her tracks by the voice on the other end of the phone.

"Good evening, Annie." No, it couldn't be... "I trust you are alone?" he asked.

"Ben..." Annie saw Auggie tense at his name. She put her hand on his shoulder to calm him. "What could you possibly need this time?"

"You failed to answer my question. Are you not alone?" Ben asked.

"No, I am not, but I do not see how that is an of your business. Now, if you do not mind, I would like to return to my evening." And with that, Annie pressed the end button on her phone and put it on silent. She figured that if anyone from work tried to reach her, they could call Auggie.

Auggie hesitated before he spoke. "What did he want?" he asked. Annie saw the worry in his eyes.

"Don't know, don't care..." She answered honestly. "I have more important things to tend to right now." And with that, she kissed him. The kiss was more passionate than before and Annie felt like she could stay like that forever... Until Auggie broke the kiss.

"Are you sure? If it was nothing, he wouldn't have called." Auggie said nervously. He heard her sigh.

"I could always call him back, if you like... Or I could do this..." Annie kissed him again. She held her hands to Auggie's chest and began to unbutton his top button. Auggie just nodded in agreement and ran his finger through her hair.

"Incoming Call: Joan" Auggie's phone rang out. Auggie, still kissing Annie, reached into his coat pocket and pulled out his phone.

"Anderson." Auggie said with annoyance.

"Auggie, I need and Annie to come come see me first thing in the morning. You must not be late. Goodnight."
