Percy's POV
I can't believe she just did that. But the fact I didn't see something like this coming isn't surprising. I ran out the door to find her waist deep in the water.
"That was a big mistake, Annabeth." I said. "Why? You said you'd forgive me." she retorted. I could see she was smiling, so I sent a tiny (cough, cough) wave that knocked her over into the water. She came up spluttering and coughing. Then she did something that surprised me. She took her shirt off, and I felt my jaw drop.
Annabeth's POV
Before you start making assumptions, I have a bikini top on. I thought that Percy and I were going swimming, so I'd put my bikini on under my clothes. Let me tell you one thing. The look when Percy saw me start to take my shirt off: priceless. Then he took his own shirt off and swam out to meet me. Who put the idea into his mind that it was fair for him to have his abs distracting me? We started a splash war, which wasn't faring very well for me. Stupid freaking son of the Sea God, I thought to myself. Why is it fair that while I'm getting soaked, he can stay as dry as the sand in the Sahara?
"Hey Percy, I have a deal for you." I said. "If you make it so you can get wet,...I'll make it worth your while." Next thing I knew, I was in the arms of a very wet Percy being pulled down into the water. Lower and lower we went, and quickly we were surrounded by a bubble of air.
"Okay, so what are you going to do that would make getting soaked worth my while?" he asked. A smirk played across his lips.
"My reward was going to be that you could kiss me as long as you want tonight..." I paused. "and you can sleep with me." I looked at him to gauge his reaction, and felt a fiery blush cover my face as I saw a look of joy cover his face.
Percy's POV
That night, after we'd eaten our sandwiches, I took her to the bonfire I'd made on the beach and we gave each other our presents. It was a silver owl shaped comb that Annabeth could put into her hair. She got me concert tickets to see 3oh!3. Since their cds were always in my car, I guess she figured I'd want to see them live.
"I have a question, wise girl." I began. She looked up from the picture she was drawing in the sand. "Aren't our parents going to, I dunno, kill us tonight?"
"Why would they kill us, Seaweed Brain?" she asked. The moonlight was falling around her, surrounding her perfect golden curls in a silver halo. I swallowed and tried to get up the courage to tell her. "Well, won't they be kind of peeved that their kids are sleeping together?" I asked, wondering what shade of red my face was at the moment. I mean, it's not like I hadn't imagined Annabeth that way, it's just...I just don't know what to say.
"Uh, Percy...you know that when I said we could sleep together, I didn't mean, you know, doing it. I just meant that we could sleep in the same bed. I've heard that's a very important step people make in their relationship." she said. Great, now not only am I a seaweed brain but I'm a pervert too. She was blushing her face off, and I wondered whether she was going to hit me or not. "Well, I guess...maybe something else could happen too..." she smiled. "but I do have limits. Not yet Percy. Maybe sometime in the future, but not yet."
"Race you to the cabin!" I yelled. That was one race that I actually didn't want to win. I said a quick prayer to every god and goddess, begging them not to blast me off the face of the earth.
