Hey! I'm back with a new sequel! I know the title sucks. Prosperity of Life. I'll work on that. This chappie might not be very good, but I hope you enjoy it! Plus, I'm loving Australia! I love the pie here, and the candy and pizzas, just everything!
"Percy! Help me with the couch!" Annabeth shouted, frustrated with Percy's laziness. She grunted as she tried to lunge the couch forward onto the steps of their apartment. The orange colored couch slid a step, causing Annabeth to push in agitation.
The sound of thumping footsteps interrupted her wrestling session with the couch. Percy smirked amusedly as he sat at the foot of the couch. He smiled goofily as Annabeth gave him a pointed look.
"What were you doing up there?" She huffed. Annabeth pushed a stray strand of hair off her face. Percy shrugged.
"Nothing. Just stuff."
Annabeth nodded as she gestured towards the sofa. Percy nodded and smiled as he stood up to heave the couch up. Annabeth rolled her eyes playfully.
He re-positioned himself as he stuffed his hands under the plush sofa.
He pushed it up as Annabeth helped on the other side. They heaved their couch up the stairs and pushed it into the elevator, carefully not hitting anyone.
"Careful not to scratch the floorboards, Percy!" Annabeth reminded as he slid the sofa onto the boarded floor.
He set it down gently and plopped tiredly onto it, giving Annabeth a goofy smile as he gestured for her to join him.
Annabeth kicked up an eyebrow as her eyes sparked amusement.
She dropped onto the soft seat and leaned back, content with Percy's warmth around her.
"I'm glad we finally finished moving! Now we can do something else." Percy wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. Annabeth laughed as she whacked him lightly on the chest.
"Well, rather than doing what you want, we have to buy some curtains and get the rest of the stuff in first." Annabeth suggested as she stood up, stretching her hands out to pull her boyfriend up.
Percy pouted before stretching out his hands and linking it with hers. He pulled her in for a quick kiss as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
She pulled away. (Much to Percy's dismay.) "Come on, the faster we finish this, the easier."
Percy sighed reluctantly. "Fine, but we get to do what I want later."
Annabeth pondered for a moment before agreeing. It wouldn't hurt, she thought.
"Fine. Now come on." She smiled as she pulled her boyfriend out of the door.
"Can I have two cokes with two cheeseburgers?" Percy ordered. The pair had decided to grab a bite before heading to buy some bed spreads and curtains. "Oh, and no pickles?"
Annabeth smiled as Percy remembered that she didn't like pickles with her burger.
"Sure, anything else?" The waiter asked, tapping in the prices and orders. Percy shook his head as he pulled out his wallet.
"Ok, that'll be 15." Percy took out a 20 and waited for his change. The waiter typed in everything quickly, getting the change and getting the ordered food.
"Thanks." Percy murmured. The waiter smiled as he attended to the next customer.
Percy dragged the tray off the counter before walking with Annabeth to find a table.
"How did you know I don't like pickles on my burger?"
Percy smiled, wondering when was his girlfriend going to ask.
"I noticed when we were on our second date, when you told the guy you didn't want pickles."
Annabeth raised an eyebrow amusedly. "You remembered the little details of me?"
Percy nodded nonchalantly. "Yeah, why?"
Annabeth shook her head. "Nothing, it's just that you're a sap, Seaweed Brain."
Percy pouted and Annabeth laughed. "Come on, over here." Annabeth tugged lightly on Percy's arm, pointing a finger towards the cleaned booth.
They both made their way towards the booth and slid in quietly next to each other.
They unwrapped the burger and began digging in, Percy ended up with mustard on his nose. Annabeth laughed as Percy looked weirdly at her.
Annabeth grabbed a napkin off the side. "Mustard on your nose." She wiped the sauce off his pointed nose as he smiled at the beauty before him. He wondered how'd he got her, without any boundaries or problems.
Well…. Maybe a few problems.
"I love you, you know that?" Percy asked coolly. Inside, he exploded. What was I thinking? He wondered.
Annabeth's eyes widened as big as saucers. "It's fine if you don't feel the same way. I mean we started dating, like what? Six months ago? Five months? It's too early for you to decide, If you don't love me, I understand. I mean i-" He rambled. "Percy!" Annabeth interrupted. He still wasn't listening, instead he rambled on.
Annabeth shook her head as she pulled him in for a kiss. They pulled apart minutes later.
"Good, now I have your attention!" Annabeth exclaimed. Percy nodded as he grabbed a fry off the wrapper.
"I'm happy that you love me, but I'm sorry that I can't return the feelings yet. I still think it's too early, but I hope that you're willing to wait for me to love you back." Percy smiled, a tinge of sadness overtaking him.
"I understand if you don't feel anything now. It's too early. We've only been dating for five months." Percy smiled reassuringly.
Annabeth let out a breath of relief. "Good, cause now, we have to get some bed spreads."
Percy smiled and nodded, but felt slightly agitated with his stupid decision to blurt it out.
Why do we always have awkward situations?
A/N: OK! I hope you liked it! I know this is kind of flillerish. (Is that a word?) But this chappie shows a little of their relationship, this sequel will be based a little on their relationship, but there is more storyline plot. Hoped you liked it.
Until the next chapter,
