Chapter 2 (percabeth begins)
Percys Pov.
"PERCY HURRY UP WILL YOU?" my mom screamed from the kitchen
See today we're having guests over. Very special guests… My dad. Of course Annabeth was going to be there too but that idea didn't really make me nervous. If anything, it reassured me. I mean sure, my girlfriend (still getting used to the word) is coming over for supper, that's totally normal right? My father, the sea god joining us for diner in our New York apartment? Not so normal, but he insisted.
See because, ever since we beat kronos, saved the world, etc. It seemed like my Dad was becoming less distant with me, more familiar I guess… He would visit and talk to me whenever I was near the ocean, and believe me I don't mind but I have to admit its kind of awkward when he interrupts you and your girlfriend on a date... And well... you get the point. He would even turn up, literally out of nowhere, whenever Paul, my mom and me would go out for supper.
" Percy, if you're not out of that room in 3 minutes, I'm coming in to get you, your Dad is going to be here any minute!" My mom yelled again.
I put on the closest thing I could find. As I was searching for a pair of pants under my bed, a fast movement caught my eye in my peripheral vision. I turned around, and there she was. If possible, she looked even cuter than the last time I saw her (yesterday) maybe its because she had a huge smile on her face. At first I smiled back but then I realized there was something I was missing, like a private joke. She looked down toward my legs and then turned away blushing. Crap. I grabbed a pair of clean jeans and put them on. I decided it was best to change subject.
"So how did you get in here?" I asked
"Oh I have my ways" she answered tapping her pocket where she had her Yankee's cap
I smiled and patted the space next to me on the bed. She smiled and sat down as I took her hand.
"My school is having a dance next Friday" Annabeth said suddenly
" That's cool, you want me to come?" I answered smiling
"I didn't say that"
She looked serious but I knew she was playing, so I decided to play along
"Oh good because I wasn't going to come"
For a second she looked hurt, before I could tell I was kidding she snapped back
"I didn't say I wanted you to come…yet. I was going to ask you properly but you sidetracked me"
I looked at her for about a minute, waiting. She leaned in closer to me and whispered in my ear:
"Would you like to take me to my school dance next Friday, seaweed brain?"
For a second I couldn't answer. Partly because I was scared something weird and incoherent might come out of my mouth instead of a normal answer. After a couple of seconds of getting my brain to function I answered.
"Yes ma'am"
She smiled and leaned in close to me again. Her lips touched mine softly. Before she could part them I let go of her hand and wrapped my arm around her waist to pull her closer. The kiss became more urgent. She knotted her fingers into my hair and kissed me passionately. We continued for a couple more minutes and I had completely forgotten about my mother and diner with my Dad. Right until someone behind us cleared their throat.
It was my mom, and right next to her was my Dad. He had a huge smile on his face, my mom looked a little annoyed but they both had apologetic expressions on their faces.
"Are you kids ready?" My mom asked
"Sure, Mrs. Jackson" Annabeth answered shyly
Behind my mom's back my dad was still smiling, I could have sworn he winked at me, but I wasn't so sure.
