A/N: allright guys, heres ch 2. sorry it took so long to update, i kind of didnt know where i was going with this. but here it is. sorry if its bad, im new at the whole writing thing haha.
I was pacing the floor in front of my 80 inch flat screen television, waiting for her to call. What was taking so long? Did she change her mind, or was she busy? I groaned and plopped myself onto the couch. I ran my hand over my face, realizing how exhausted I was from all of the filming for my new movie coming out. I put my head against the arm of the couch and slowly drifted to sleep, thinking about Annabeth the whole time.
About 15 minutes into my nap, I heard the speaker at my front door buzz. I groggily got up and shuffled my feet over to the wall. I pressed down the white button and spoke into the microphone, "What is it, Toby?". Toby was the doorman in the lobby of the apartment complex. I lived in a rather upscale apartment on the top floor due to my movie career. I was very thankful.
"Yeah, Mr. Jackson, someone is here to see you," Toby replied, annoyed.
"Who?" I asked surprised. Nobody was supposed to be visiting me today.
"Well she says her name is Annabeth, and I just think she's another crazed-" I cut him off.
"Let her up!" I yelled into the speaker. I heard the opening noise come out of the box on my wall.
Why was Annabeth coming to my house? I started to pick up random things like my boxers that were scattered throughout my room. But then again, she wouldn't be coming into my room, would she?
Well, I probably could get her to- wait. That's so screwed up. I decided to forget about my room and move to a room that she would actually be going in. I ran to the kitchen and loaded my dishwasher quickly. The doorbell rang. My heart accelerated and I took deep breaths while stumbling my way to the door.
"Well hello there," I greeted Annabeth as I answered the door. She smiled and giggled a bit, and I stepped aside, gesturing for her to come into my apartment.
"Nice place you got here, Percy," she complimented me.
"Thanks! I saved up for this place for years. Since I was about 16 actually," I told her truthfully. When I first saw this place, I knew it was the one, but it was so expensive that nobody bought it in the years I was saving. Luckily for me, my career took off and I didn't have to save for as long as I expected.
"Wow, impressive," she said with a wink. My heart fluttered. It was a weird feeling, because most girls didn't have an effect like that on me.
"Thanks. Not trying to be rude or anything, but why are you here?" I asked curiously. She shrugged and I gave her a bewildered look.
"Well, I had to show you the page I'm putting in the magazine to make sure you approve. And also because I lost the napkin with your number on it…" she spoke the last part quietly, and she was maybe even embarrassed. I smirked at her.
"Well well well, Ms. Annabeth. Who says I want to give it to you again? Can I trust you with my cell phone number?" I questioned teasingly, but she didn't catch on so easily.
"I'm really, really, really, really, really, really sorr-" I cut her off.
"I'm just joking around with you, Annabeth. Here, actually put my number into your phone this time," I said with a wink. She got our her Blackberry with a purple case on it and poised her fingers on the keys, ready for me to say my number. I recited it 2 times to make sure she got it.
"Alright, now that that's settled, why don't we go grab a bite? You in?" I asked her boldly. She pretended like she needed to think. She put a finger to her lip and said in a teasing way, "Hmm, I don't know. Depends on where because I don't exactly love being attacked by paparazzi wherever I go." I actually put that into consideration and made a quick decision. I plopped onto my big leather sofa and kicked off my shoes. She looked at me quizzically.
"Movie and take out it is," I said while grinning. I patted the seat next to me and she jumped onto the couch and kicked off her sandals like I did. She looked me in the eyes and gave a dazzling smile.
"You're really pretty you know," I said out of nowhere. I didn't mean to say it, it kind of just popped out. She looked beautiful today, with her short jean shorts and flowery tank top. Her blond hair was let loose, falling in perfect ringlets down her back. Beautiful.
"What?" Annabeth asked me, looking and me like I had 8 heads and a tail. I hesitated a little. Would she think I was too straightforward? Well, I'll never know until I try, I thought to myself.
"I said that youre really pretty…" I said slowly and quietly. She looked at me again, but her eyes were filled with happiness and thanks. She looked down at her feet and blushed a light shade of pink.
"Thanks, Percy," Annabeth thanked me. I reached over and pulled her chin up so she would look at me. Sparks ran up and down my spine and I got goose bumps on the back of my neck. I wanted to kiss her, badly. But I barely knew her and she barely knew me. I knew I'd have to wait.
"You're welcome," I told her sincerely. There was a silence, but not really awkward. Annabeth switched her position of the couch so she was leaning against the arm and she put her legs on top of my lap.
"Movie time?" she asked.
"Movie time."
We ended up watching a total chick flick. But that's okay because Annabeth was half on top of me the whole time. I couldn't stop looking at her. Her face, her legs, her hair, everything. She was so gorgeous it wasn't even funny. She was easily the prettiest girl I'd ever seen. I began to rub up and down her calves, but she didn't seem to mind. I asked if it was okay for me to do it, and she said it felt good, so I continued on like that for the rest of the movie.
Annabeth stretched out with her legs still on my lap when the movie was over. When she reached her arms up, I couldn't help but stare at that little inch of skin that showed when her shirt came up.
"Let's order take out now, I'm starved." Annabeth said while stifling a yawn.
I picked up the phone to order. We ended up getting Chinese food, and Annabeth is definitely not one of those girls who doesn't like to eat in front of guys, because she ate more than me! She let out a loud belch and covered her mouth, shocked.
"Excuse me," she said in a girly voice. She looked me in the eye, and we both burst out in laughter. We laughed, and laughed, and laughed. Annabeth had finally calmed down but I was still shaking with laughter. I had tears running down my face, and I wiped them with my sleeve.
"Oh my god Annabeth, that was hilarious," I told her while calming myself down. She smirked and shrugged.
"It's what I do best," she said while grinning. I laughed once more before sighing.
"It's getting really late," I said, not wanting her to go. She nodded and got up to collect her things, looking a little hurt. Maybe she took that the wrong way.
"I mean, I wish you could stay, but I have work early tomorrow," I explained. Her face lightened a little. When she had all of her stuff, I walked her to the door.
"Bye, Percy." She said quietly while looking at me. I smiled my signature smile.
"Bye, Annabeth. I had a lot of fun. You should drop by more often. But Friday, Benihanna, right?" I asked hopefully.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world." She said with a wink.
"Well, I'll see you then." I said. She looked like she wanted to say more, but planted a kiss on my cheek instead.
"Goodnight, Percy." And she left. I could still feel the tingle on my cheek from when she kissed me. I walked over to my couch and replayed the whole night in my head. Damn, that girl was messing with my head.
