Annabeth and Percy
Annabeth's POV
This takes place when Annabeth and Percy come back to camp the following the summer of the Last Olympian.
Percy came out of the clear, blue lake. He was still dry, as always. You see, his father is Poseidon, God of the sea, so he can go into any body of water, and come out without a drop of liquid on his body. He can also control the water, which, don't tell anyone, but I think is really cool. Percy had just returned from the other side of the lake, where he retrieved his sword after I had knocked it out of his hands. He looked really cute when he was tired. His dark brown hair was in a tangle, his beautiful green eyes were ready to surrender, and he gave me a smile that said "You've won. Again"
This time though, instead of asking me if I wanted to keep going, he sheathed his sword, took my hand in his, and he kissed it. I blushed. I hoped my face wasn't as red as it felt.
"I surrender." he said "I can't beat someone as smart as you, wise girl. Now you've stolen a victory and you've stolen my heart. Are you sure you aren't from the Hermes Cabin?"
"I'm sure seaweed brain." I whispered. By now we were holding hands, and I was staring into his wonderful eyes. They were the same color as the sea. He seemed to be staring into my eyes as well. He leaned in to kiss me.
Now, of course I saw it coming, but I still hadn't gotten used to Percy being my boyfriend. For so many years, I just called him my friend, and it was a little weird seeing him as anything else, even though through all of those years, I had a crush on him. Yet, it feels right having him as my boyfriend. I remember back when Rachel Elizabeth Dare was allowed to date. I was so jealous! She seemed to get his undivided attention every time she was near him. She hadn't been in love with him for four years!
Oh my gods. I love Percy. I hadn't really thought about it much, and I guess I always did love him, but I had never really admitted it to myself until now.
I could tell Percy I loved him right now. The sun was setting, leaving a beautiful pinky-red color on the surface of the water. The air was still, and the night was warm. But for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to tell him. Maybe the time wasn't right, or I was waiting for him to say it. It just didn't feel right. So, instead, I let him kiss me.
Instantly I felt like all of my troubles were melting away. It didn't matter where I was. It didn't matter that anyone could be looking at us. All that mattered was this one boy who smelled faintly of sea water. It was like we were in our own heaven.
"Ah-Hem" said my brother Malcolm. "Sorry to … disturb you, but Annabeth is needed in the Athena Cabin. Tonight we are debating Whether Hestia should get her seat back on Olympus tonight. It's kind of important and…"
"Say no more" Percy interrupted. "See you tomorrow." He smiled. Then he turned and headed for his cabin.
Once Percy was out of earshot, I sighed. "Why do you always have to ruin every moment Percy and I spend together?' I complained.
"Because" He replied "Mom doesn't like you getting too close to that boy. I don't either. He's trouble."
"Since when did you and mom become so defensive of me!" I huffed "Can't you stay out of my business!"
"Nope" he replied. After that, I stormed away to my cabin for the debate. I would've gone some where else because of my anger, but this debate was going to be too good to miss.
Percy's POV
"I'm going to give it to her." I told my self as I rolled my finger over the script on the bracelet. "I will give Annabeth this bracelet." But even I didn't convince myself.
