Annie's story - MCU - unofficial follow-up

    Hey guys, I swear I'm not the OP but I have taken it upon myself to write my version of the second part of the Annie story. I know everyone's been wondering where OP went and what not, and maybe he just had writer's block. And that's ok, because I didn't, as I wrote based on the an idea I originally gave to him some time ago. You'll notice our writing styles are not the same, and my story is extremely extensive compared to his, but I couldn't focus too much on extreme details of the littlest things, but I was able to focus on pacing and a comfy atmosphere. Reminder that I'm not trying to replace him in any way, I'm just heeding his suggestion that writing is strongly encouraged here. He can create his own version of part two or even perhaps create part 3, I don't know. So here it is:

>After a couple of blissful moments of consoling and making you feel better, Annie noticed the small smile that had appeared upon your face. She then made her way back to her station at the kitchen to finish the salad she was preparing before you arrived. You and Annie enjoy the delightfully tasteful and hearty salad in a comfortable silence while Annie was occasionally looking up at you, giving you quip smiles as she notices how much you're enjoying her food. After a few minutes, the silence that was accompanied by endless crunching sounds was broken.

>"How have you been dear? I'm sorry you had to walk outside in this cold, it's just been unrelenting hasn't it?" she said in her soft and angelic voice that always puts you at ease. The type of voice that generates a feeling of warmth and comfort. You cleared your throat to tell her you have been fine and that school has gotten a little hectic, but you're managing. You also reassure her that even though the unforgiving winter wind was making your face feel a little numb, it was worth enduring to see her.

>Annie lit up like a Christmas tree at your comment and she blushed slightly. "Oh you're such a sweetheart!" She exclaimed, almost embarrassed by the praise she had just received. "You're going to make a great boyfriend someday, I just know it. Girls your age don't know about guys like you", Annie earnestly said as she place her soft, pale hand on yours, gently caressing it. After you giving another one of her infamously beautiful smiles, Annie removed her hand off yours and proclaimed, "Hey, so let's get to playing your guitar again shall we?" Annie then proceeded to clean her dining table while you went to go set up the amp and pedal board.

>An hour and a half passed when Annie was done teaching you a few guitar techniques, consisting mostly of basic chord progression. She sweetly complimented on your progress as a player. You could only reply by blushing and thanking her for being so talented in the first place. "Oh my god stop! You are just too much!" Annie said as she very playfully pushed you a little. It wasn't long until Annie looked outside her huge windows in her studio apartment and saw how dark it had become, and that the snow storm was only getting worse. She dawned a face of worry and thought of you. Annie suddenly motioned towards you and blurted out, "Hey um, I don't want you walking home tonight."

>She realized that she may have sounded crazy when she saw your face of utter confusion. "I'm sorry, it's just...I'm not letting you go out in that...blizzard! I mean, look at it!" She frantically motioned towards her windows, flailing her hands out, trying to convince you to stay. You realized that you didn't want to venture into that cold hell again, and would love nothing more than to stay the night with the musical angel herself.

>You texted your mother the situation about why you weren't coming home tonight and she was more than relieved that Annie was taking care such good care of you. Thank God it was Friday, so then school wasn't something to worry about. When the logistics were covered, you and Annie proceeded to spend the night away doing one of her favorite things: sitting around her hi-fi speaker system and listening to some records. She went through a plethora of material that she said that she recently was getting into and thought you might enjoy as well. Over the course of 4 hours or so, you two enjoyed the sonic textures and gorgeous melodies of The National, Talking Heads, Sigur Rós, and Portishead.

>After the last record had finished its run, Annie primly made her way to her setup and diligently put away her vinyl records. When she was done, she looked up at you and said, "We should probably get to bed, dear. I don't like staying up late, it's not a good habit for me." You couldn't say no to her innocent, gentle face, so you agreed with her. About 10 minutes or so passed when you two changed into sleep clothes and got ready for bed. Since you didn't anticipate staying with the curly-haired beauty, you put on one of her pairs of sweatpants, which surprisingly fitted fine. You borrowed a plain white tee from her as well. Annie was dressed in some loose short shorts and a crop top showing off her creamy white skin and slim figure.

>It was right before Annie was going to turn off all the lights and you proceeding to the couch that she stopped herself, and hung her head a little low and said in a slightly embarrassed voice, "Hey um...I get cold really easily at night. Especially on nights like this. The cold sometimes creeps through ceiling or something ever so slightly, and I just freeze forever until I finally doze off, despite how much I pay for this damn place. I was wondering if um...you could come sleep with me. I think it would help me sleep better or something. I don't know, what do you say?"

--

>You instantly agreed to Annie's plight as you couldn't bear to see the musical sweetheart suffering, even though you couldn't tell what she was really getting at. After you two made your way to her bed she turned off all of the lights. The only thing illuminating the bedroom part of her studio apartment, were the glimmers of street lights from outside, peering through the window. You and Annie wiggle your way onto her insanely comfortable bed while she cutely puts her large comforter over both of you. She asks you after a few seconds of laying in the dark next to you, "Hey is it okay if I play some relaxing music? It really helps lull me to sleep. And I think you would like it as well."

>Just a couple of inches away from the adorable musician, you say that it's fine. Annie gleefully gets up a little and grabs her iPhone. Having the Blu-tooth already connected to her Bose sound bar that rests on a shelf over her bed, she flipped through her phone for a second and put Beach House on shuffle. She then laid back down next to you while the ethereal and dreamy song began to play in the background.

>You and Annie don't exchange anymore words as you both try to fall asleep. You were facing each other but all eyes were closed. It wasn't too long until Annie began to shiver a little. You heard her breath shaking ever so slightly as she tried to hold herself to keep warm. It was as this moment that you moved closer to her and put your arm around her and pulled her into your embrace. You and Annie's faces were just an inch or two away from each other when she whispered sweetly to you, "Thank you."

>Annie then felt comfortable enough to put her arm around you and fully embraced the moment of intimacy between you two. It was about a minute into this perfect moment of close proximity that Annie also put her soft leg over yours. She weighed so little you thought nothing of it. Eventually, you heard her softly snoring, notifying you that she had finally fallen asleep. You couldn't help yourself but love the position you were in. You then reached in a little to give her a kiss on the cheek. You retreated back into your pillow next to her and felt the heaviness of you eyes bestow upon you. The floaty and beautiful textures of Beach House's music eventually put you at ease enough to make you ready to slip away next to the musical goddess as you held each other close. The dim glow from the street lights served as the city's night light while the freezing winter night raged on. You couldn't imagine wanting to be anywhere else in the world right now.
