Jenna's lips parted, then closed again. She blinked twice as if her ears were playing tricks on her. "You… kissed Percy?" she finally breathed, the disbelief dripping like honey off her tongue.
Kali nodded unabashed. "I did."
Jenna, who had nothing to do with the kiss, paled. She didn't know what she was waiting to hear when she asked Kali to talk to her about anything. But one fact remains that nothing prepared her for this new development.
"Is it the same Percy we both know or...?" Jenna really wanted to be sure. To heavens, she wasn't trying to drag it on.
Kali arched her brows. "The wussy that is nothing but a coward in the face of blood. And yes, that Percy."
"Move." Jenna patted Kali. "I need to sit to understand what's going on."
Kali twitched her lips but helped Jenna sit down comfortably. "Do you need water?" she asked harmlessly.
