It was raining at Percy's house. And we were just sitting on the couch with me lying up against him, watching UFC. Sally and Paul went out to run a quick errand. I don't know why though it's raining like crazy outside.

"I bet I'm a better wrestler than Darren Elkins" Percy declared

"I highly doubt it, you can't even beat a simple girl like me" I challenged

"Yeah, but your not just some simple girl Annabeth. And who says I can't beat you in wrestling?"

"Petty much everybody"

"No you're just saying that. I bet that I can beat you right here, right now if I wanted to!"

"Is that a challenge Seaweed Brain?"

"Hell yea it is!"

I stood up right in front of him and before he knew that we were starting I grabbed him the arm and pulled him to the ground. He lay on the ground, right on his stomach; I flipped him on his back and straddled his waste. So I was right above him and before I got a grip on his wrists he flipped us. He grabbed my wrists and pinned them above my head.

"I told you I could beat you in wrestling" he bragged

I lifted my head as closed to his ear as possible hoping to seduce him

Just so he would loosen his grip on my wrists, and whispered

"That's the only time you're ever going to win Seaweed Brain"

I lifted my legs to his mid section and kicked him up and over my head. I followed in pursuit. I locked my legs on his ankles so he couldn't do the same and grabbed his wrists.

"That's cheating!"

"What's cheating?"

"You just tried to seduce me!"

At this point I loosened my grip on his wrists and unlocked my legs on his ankles allowing him to point his accusing finger at me.

"Enlighten me. How did I try to seduce you?"

"Y-You-You whispered in my ear! Sending chills down my back!"

"And you consider that seducing?"

"Yes! And every time you tease-"

He flipped us knowing I wouldn't be ready for it.

"-there are consequences"

"Like what consequences exactly"

Instead of answering me he took my head into his hands and kissed me full on the mouth. I must admit, I as stunned by his courage lately. He doesn't seem so shy any more. I did hesitate before kissing him back. A little sooner than I wanted, he pulled his head back away from mine and said

"Those consequences"
