Chapter 2
"What do you want to be when you grow up Percy?" I asked one day while we took a break from training to have a picnic on the beach directly below the grassy arena.
"Rich" he stated.
"Amen" I said jokingly, "Seriously
though"
"Olympic swimmer" he said mischievously.
"You would definitely be the next Micheal Phelps"
"I could start competing in time for the 2012 Olympics right?"
"Yes and I would be your coach" I said before we both burst out laughing. I was probably the slowest sixteen year old swimmer of all time.
"You know this is perfect" he said. I nodded if I could stay like this for the rest of my life I would be fine.
"I wish this summer we could travel you know see the world?"
"I will take you anywhere in the world you wish to go." He said pulling me close to him as I rested my head on his shoulder and traced his abs with my finger.
"Greece" I breathed.
"Of course"
"You know it's one of the most romantic countries in the world." I said gazing out across the ocean. Somewhere across that vast expanse of water there was Greece.
"Ooh trying to get me in the mood?" he teased, I realized my hand and started gliding lower across his stomach and towards his waist and other places.
I snapped my hand back and blushed.
"Sorry I'm daydreaming"
"No problem." he said I started to get up and stretch, "Have I ever told you you're the most beautiful woman in the entire world?"
Ahhhhh did he really say that? In order to keep from hyperventilating I concentrated hard on breathing then I realized he was waiting for an answer "No" was all I managed to stammer.
"Well you are and I don't know why you chose me, but I know you're too good for me and I'm not the smartest or handsomest or the most suav-"
I got tired of his rambling so I cut him off by wrapping my leg around him and kissing him passionately. I tangled my hands in his hair and got butterflies when he responded with such force I nearly got knocked backward.
Then in the blink of an eye I no longer held Percy in my arms and he disappeared without a trace only his sweet scent of salt and blue chocolate chip cookies lingered. I had a sudden urge to cry, but instead I just sat and wondered what had just happened. After about a minute I came to my senses and ran to find Chiron.
Percy POV
Oh my gods I loved Annabeth. Somehow she knew just exactly how to make me melt. I was worried my big speech would sound awful and corny, but she made it clear it was fine by this kiss. I felt her leg creeping around mine and I felt a tug in the pit of my stomach I wanted her so badly.
I lost it when she started tangling her hands in my hair I responded with such willingness she smiled and then she was gone. Well actually I was gone. I didn't know where I was as I looked around everything looked as if I was seeing it through a window.
Then it hit me I was underwater. This must be my dads palace I thought. It definetly looked like the battle with Oceanus had taken it's toll, but things seemed to be rebuilding extremely fast. I searched for my dad, why was I here why had I been taken away from my perfect moment with Annabeth? Annabeth. Just thinking her name made me miss her. She must be terrified I wanted to send her an Iris Message, but just then I turned around to see an angry dad glaring at me.
"Perseus" he boomed.
"Ya" I replied half heartedly, I really wanted to get back to camp.
"I suppose you're wondering why you're here"
"Yup" I replied swaying back and forth lazily, "can we just get this moving along please because I was kind of in the middle of a very important-uh meeting."
"I know what you were doing and who you were with. I am a god Perseus." he looked like he was about to cause a tsunami he was so mad.
"Oh" I said I could feel myself turning red from the fact my dad might have been watching annabeth and I, "so why'd you summon me?"
"It's about that Athena girl, the one you were with a few moments ago." he said icily, "she's a problem."
"What?!" I screamed. "how is Annabeth a problem?"
"Do you know who her mother is?"
"Yes I dot see why it matters that she's Athena's daughter"
"Ignorant boy, her mother and I do not get along"
"I know, but I don't get what's so bad about me dating her."
"Aphrodite has been saying some things about the two of you," he paused trying to control his temper, "she says that she sees a future between the two of you." he was practically whispering he was trying so hard not to explode.
"Really?" I breathed, I guess I was right we really do love each other. Wow. Annabeth and I forever getting married starting a family growing old together it made me smile thinking about it.
"Stop smiling. I hope you realize that Athena and I can't let that happen."
My bubble of happiness broke. "are you saying you're going to force me to stop loving her? Because it won't work."
"No, but I have made certain arrangements for the two of you to see as little of each other as possible and slowly the love will fade son. I'm sorry." he said.
"Why?" I yelled I was really pissed off how could he keep me from being happy?
"It's for your own good. A daughter of athena and a son of Poseidon wouldn't be a good match. Two demigods of that much power together would be dangerous."
"Fine we won't have sex? Does that make you happy? We won't have children!" I yelled. He seemed slightly taken aback and he shifted awkwardly, but decided to consider this.
"Two hormonal demi-gods there can't not be... Uh... Sexual tension."
"we can control ourselves!" I needed Annabeth if he took her away from me I would be devastated. "please dad. I need her. She's my best friend without her there's nothing left living for"
I knew I was getting to him, he had to give in sometime.
"I need time to think son for now please stay away from her in the romantic area. Please for my sake I will summon you again when I have reached my decision."
Then I was gone and I immediately ran to find Annabeth.
I know im moving kind of fast, but this isn't really the REAL story yet and it was gonna b two chapters but ive already written a bunch so I though id b nice please R&R!!
