The position the eighteen year old had been put in the first time her and Jake had bet was something different. Annie would have never been able to fathom the events that occurred, but then again, divination had never been the girl's forte. It was by a stroke of luck that she had made it away from what happened, that and the heroics of none other than Jacob Holland. No matter how much she wanted to, or how much she tried, she would always be in debt to him for that. Unless she ended up doing the same for him, which didn't seem plausible in her mind. "Oh really? I was worried about you, for obvious reasons. Why were you worrying about me?" Asked the blonde, she was generally concerned, Jake had been the one in the hospital bed, not her. Why he would be worrying about somebody who left the situation without even a scratch was beyond her.
It did make the young woman swoon a little, Jake obviously cared about her in one way or another and that meant there was a chance he liked her back. Annie didn't quite know how to figure out of your romantic feelings for somebody were mutual, as a matter of fact, she couldn't pick out a crush from a mile away. She had spent her schooling years working and hadn't had much of a social life, her future had always been on her mind, it had grown almost impossible for the blonde to turn her brain of when she went to sleep, she was always thinking rapidly, but not around Jake, there was something different about his presence that slowed her down, in a good way of course. At Jake's next blunt words, the blonde turned her head around to face him again, "I don't know what to say, this is unexpected." Uttered the eighteen year old. This all seemed foreign to her, she had only been in one relationship before when she was sixteen, and that had ended badly, since then, Annie hadn't had much further experience in the relationship department, but if she had the chance to, she would definitely want to be with Jake, she saw no faults in him and getting to know him on a romantic level would be more than she would have dreamed of. But unfortunately for Annie, she was still at a loss for words.
What happened next was even more of a shock, Jake had kissed her out of nowhere. Well, not completely out of nowhere, he had just told her that he wanted to be with her and all, usually something like this would make Annie freak. But this was different, this was Jake, and the eighteen year old kissed him back, there was nothing else she could do really. Her heart was racing, she hadn't kissed someone in a while, she wasn't sure if she still knew how to do it or not. But she didn't really care, now her and Jake were more than 'just friends' and that had been one of the things she had thought about since they last parted ways, now her thoughts had been confirmed and frankly, Annie couldn't have been happier.
