"Oh my gods Percy stop it." I laughed. Oh, sorry, let's start with the introduction. Well for short, I'm staying at Percy's house for the weekend until we go back to camp half-blood for the summer and he just picked me up from the airport.
"Why should I? You tease me all the time wise girl." Percy said playfully. He unlocked his Ferrari 430 Spyder. (A Gift from Poseidon for saving Olympus) It was grey on the outside with a blue interior.
"Did you ever think that you could be hurting my feelings Seaweed Brain?" I questioned jokingly, getting into the passenger seat. He started the car and started to back out of the parking lot.
"Nah, your too Annabethy." He replied nonchalantly.
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean? Stop teasing me or I'll hurt you, remember, I know where your Achilles heel is."
"Sorry, it's not my fault you're acting extra girly today." He smirked
"PERCY!" I'm not acting extra girly." I pouted.
"Oh really? Annabeth, your wearing your hair down, make up, you're giggling, and you gave me like a five minute long hug."
"So?" I asked. I had a feeling I was blushing redder than the sun. I was about to say something smart until Seaweed Brain interrupted
"Exactly… we're almost there wise girl." He turned onto his street and I couldn't help noticing a smirk. So what if I was acting kinda girly, I thought to myself, it's not Percy's business if I act girly or not, what do I care what he thinks about me? Actually, I care a whole lot.
"Cool, but we have to talk about the sleeping arrangements…" I pushed those thoughts aside as he pulled into the drive way and parked his car.
"Well we're kind of short on guest rooms so I guess you can sleep in my room and I'll sleep on the couch." He got out and opened the door for me. I hadn't really noticed his clothes until now… he was dressed in a blue Hollister Tee shirt, grey Hollister jeans and low top grey converses. He was cute I had to admit that.
"Someone's acting like a gentleman today." I exclaimed as I took his hand and got out of the car. "But I wouldn't want to push you out of your own room so I guess I'll sleep on the couch."
"No way Wise Girl, I'm not putting my best friend out on the couch."
"So what are we supposed to do? Sleep together?" I asked sarcastically. We walked up the stairs talking and joking with each other.
"Sure, why not?"
"Actually, I'd prefer not to make out with my best friend." Lies, all lies.
"I didn't say anything about making out Wise Girl, I just meant that you could use the bed and I could sleep in a sleeping bag on the floor."
"I guess that could work, I mean it's only for two days." I said, secretly wishing it was longer.
We walked up the three flights of stairs to get to his apartment. He opened up the door and instantly I was attacked by a wonderful aroma. I was about to ask what it was when Percy's mother popped out of the kitchen wearing an oven mit and holding a huge tray of blue chocolate chip cookies. I should have known.
"Great, you two are just in time… Want one?" she offered gesturing for us to take a cookie.
"Thank you Mrs. Blofis" I said as I grabbed a fresh cookie.
"Now Annabeth how many times do I have to tell you, call me sally. Did you two figure out who's sleeping where?" She asked.
"Yeah mom, she's gonna be sleeping with me in my room." Percy replied slightly annoyed.
"Oh okay, I'll leave you two lovebirds alone to get settled in, there's more cookies on the stove If you want em" She called retreating to her room. Percy didn't answer; instead, he grabbed my hand and led me to his room. I set my bags down on the bed and looked around, I noticed a lot of familiar things but most of all I noticed a picture on his nightstand. It was a picture of him and I hugging when we were back in camp after the war. I picked it up and smiled.
"I hope you don't think It's creepy that I have a picture of you." He said lying on his bed, starting up his X-Box 360
"No worries, what person wouldn't have pictures of their best friend?" I sat down next to him.
"So you're saying you have pictures of me?" he taunted. What is with him teasing me all of the sudden.
"Maybe one or two." I tried to hide a light blush
"Sure"
"You got something you wanna say Percy?" I got him in a surprise headlock, Bad move. He reached over his shoulder and flipped me so I was on my back with my hands pinned above my head. Damn when did he get so strong? He leaned close to my face and said
"Yeah actually I do..." he paused.
"Well?" I asked, still face to face.
"Thanks." He let me up and I sat next to him on the bed.
"What for?" I asked blushing.
"For uh, you know, saving my life." He looked cute when he was nervous. Scratch that, he looked cute all the time.
"Don't worry about it, I still owe you for the tons of times you saved mine." I shoved him playfully "That means I'm going to be saving your life a lot now."
"No, now I'm gonna be protecting you." He hugged me giving me butterflies. I smiled and he leaned towards me, I leaned in and was about to finally kiss him until sadly, this moment was interrupted when we heard a loud bang from the outside.
"What the hell?" Percy exclaimed leaping over to his window to investigate. "Oh crap! What in Hades name is that doing here?"
