3P
There were things that were boring in life like studying and school. And then there were the truly amusing things—like bothering Annabeth. I just loved annoying her. That furrowed brow scrunched nose face was so fun to see.
Nobody was more fun to annoy than Annabeth.
If I were to be honest, there is a very very huge chance that I would have used my social graces to go after her if we weren't already tied lawfully in the familial department. Since I've hooked up with the whole female population at school already, there was only her—literally. But, I have way too much fun bothering her to ruin it by getting into her pants.
Though… that idea is something that I keep hidden away in the back of my mind.
So, although she was already off limits being my lawful family and all, in my head, I've made her into something forbidden almost—and it made things all the more exciting, probably dangerous too.
The door bell rang.
"Percy could you go get that—it's probably Annabeth."
I went over to the front door and opened it. I grinned the smug grin I always had for her, "Well, aren't you looking fine today." I leaned my arm against the door frame, looking down to her a few inches shorter than I.
She simply rolled her eyes, walking past me, bringing in a rush of lemony sweetness that was her perfume. All girls smelled nice, but some were more subtle like Annabeth about their perfume than others.
Maybe it was just the scent of her shampoo—who knew.
But it was a fragrance I always associated with her.
I heard Thalia yelp in her joy seeing Annabeth before I even left from the front door again. Annabeth went over to the living room couches and kissed Luke on the cheek before going to help Thalia in the kitchen. I went over and sat with Luke who was watching football.
"How are we doing?" I asked.
"We're tied. We just need more gain on them." Luke said excitedly watching. He had popcorn in his lap.
This was Annabeth's older brother and it was no surprise they were siblings.
The resemblance was uncanny.
Same wavy blonde hair. Same easygoing presence. Same quirk of the brow when they were confused or weirded out about something.
Luke was all charisma, toned muscle and hearty laughter.
He was the golden boy of the school before Annabeth's on and off boyfriend, Will Solace, took his place after Luke graduated. Were they together again? I did see him begging her to take him back in the hallways…
That dickhead…
"Dinner's ready" Thalia called over to us, interrupting my thoughts.
Luke clasped me on the back before getting up and moving to the dining table, "Honey, we'll take our dishes over to the couches. Football's playing and I don't want to miss it."
I watched Luke encircle Thalia in a hug, giving my sister puppy eyes that would give him anything he wanted. Thalia's frown turned upside down pretty quickly, "..Fine." She said, earning a kiss from Luke.
And now I wanted to hurl.
I looked over to where Annabeth was reaching up for the glasses in the cupboard. She turned with the glasses full and made a weird face at the couple, "And there goes my appetite." She said.
I chuckled at that, making Luke pull away and pick up his dish from the kitchen counter, "Come on, Percy. Let's go football."
Taking my own plate, I went over to follow him.
But not without giving Annabeth one last grin of mine.
