We went to a friendly comfortable restaurant for dinner I was tempted to annoy Percy and order seafood but I thought better of it. I mean his father was sorta a member of the big three and his father already hates my mom no need to get turned into a turtle and fish or something. I just ordered a salad. As we walked back to the apartment Percy slipped his hand into mine I just smiled and we continued on in a comfortable silence.
I woke up in sweat breathing hard and shaking. It was just a dream. I sighed and tried to shut my mind off so I could get some real rest, but no, I stayed wide-awake my heart still pounding. I got up and went to the bathroom and splashed water on my face. On my way back I stopped by Percy's door and listened. Soft breathing, a rustle of sheets, I slowly push the door open a little. I thought I was being quiet but apparently not, Percy looked at me from his bed.
"Can't sleep wise girl?" he asked quietly. I shook my head. He motioned me to come in. I perched at the edge of the mattress. Maybe it was because it was dark or maybe it was the lateness of the hour that I didn't noticed him move, but suddenly he was very close to me. He rapped his arm around my waist and I fell back into him. I was soon lying next to him his arms held me tight and protected me
