Hey guys.
So I know I haven't updated in a few days, but I have an excuse.
I've been in the hospital. Nothing serious but I just had to give blood literally 10 minutes ago and its hard to type this.
Sorry I haven't updated but I'll make it up to you.
Question of the day:
What's your favorite song?
Mine's More Than Alive by The Ready Set.
Thank you to all who followed, favorite and reviewed.
DISCLAIMER: If I were really Rick Riordan, would I be on fanfiction?
On with the Story…
Chapter 3: I Move In
Annabeth's POV
My first day at Goode was okay. I mean, granted Percy and I skipped half the day.
Flashback
I pulled away. "Percy we really should be getting to lunch." I said, while trying to even out my breaths.
"You're right. We better go." He started to lead me in the direction of the entrance to Goode.
"Percy the cafeteria is that way." I said pointing back where we came from.
"I know but I haven't seen you in forever and I want to spend some time alone with you." He said as we slipped out of the gate at the front of the school. "I'm going to take you to this really nice Italian restaurant on the corner."
I did like Italian food, so I just followed him. When we got there, Percy being Percy ordered a slice of pizza. I settled with a bowl of spaghetti and tomato sauce. The waiter came by to place down our orders and her eyes lingered on Percy (a little too long if you ask me). She left , but not before giving Percy a wink. Anger boiled up inside me, but I pushed it down.
After that Percy sais that there was only 45 minutes left in school, so we should just walk around. So we did. And it was pretty much my best first day ever.
End of Flashback
We had to go back though, to get my homework. Percy wasn't too excited.
(Line break asdfghjkl phangirl (if you know what that is then you get a interweb high five))
"So Wise Girl, where are you staying?" Percy asked as we walked to his apartment.
"Well, I stayed at a hotel last night and I'm thinking of moving into an apartment-" Percy cut me off.
"You should stay at my apartment!" Percy beamed, proud of himself for coming up with that idea. "It would e like a sleepover every night. And we can do each other's nails and braid each others hair-"
I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing. Percy joined me.
"So, what do you say? Will you move in?" he asked again.
"I don't know Perce. I mean your mom and Paul might not want me to live there and-" He cut me off with a kiss. My hands moved up into his hair, while his moved to my waist, pulling me closer to him. Our lips moved in sync with each others. One of hands came down and searched for his own. When I found it, I interlaced our fingers together.
Other people were staring, but I didn't care. When we finally pulled away, we were both breathing heavily. I rested my forehead on his. Moments later we started walking again.
"So if mom and Paul say yes, will you move in?" Percy asked…Again.
"Fine" I said, finally giving in, knowing that he wouldn't stop pestering me until I agreed.
When we reached Percy's building, Percy led me to the elevator. When the doors closed, Percy grabbed my waist and pulled me towards him. He laid his head in the crook of my neck and murmured, "I missed you Annabeth."
"I missed you too." I said while kissing his neck. The elevator dinged and we made our way to Percy's apartment.
As we entered, Percy yelled, "Mom! I'm home!" Mrs. Jackson came running into the room, staring intently at her hands while rubbing them with a towel. She had probably been baking.
"Hey Percy. I-" She stopped when she noticed me. Her eyes widened. "Annabeth!" She ran towards me with open arms. I hugged her. She was probably the only motherly figure I've ever had.
"Hi Mrs. Jackson." I replied, when I pulled away.
"Oh, Sweetie, call me Sally. Mrs. Jackson makes me feel old." Sally said. "So when did you get here?"
"Oh I came yesterday and rented a hotel-" I started, but Percy cut me off again.
"Mom? Can Annabeth stay with us here because she needs a place to stay, and I said she could stay here? She said the only way she would agree was if you and Paul said it was okay."
"Of course! We'd love to have you here Annabeth. We have a guest bedroom down the hallway, by Percy's room." She said.
"Thank you Mrs. Jack- Sally, but I wouldn't want to intrude in here with you're family." I replied. Though I would love to stay here, I felt as if this place was for their family and I wouldn't want to ruin that.
"Don't be silly Annabeth. You're family now." Sally said. I felt tears burning in the back of my eyes. I had never had a real family. I had been away since I was seven, and I still felt as if I still wasn't welcome.
"C'mon Annabeth. Let's go to your hotel and get your stuff packed." Percy said as he grabbed my hand in his. "Bye Mom. We'll be back for dinner."
We walked out of the apartment and into the hallway.
(LINE BREACK! DO NOT CROSS. JUST KIDDING. KEEP ON READING!)
Percy and I had packed my things and headed to his apartment. When we got there, Percy led me to my room. I set my bags down and looked around. The room had an ocean-y feeling to it.
Sally called us for dinner. I went and sat down next to Percy. He grabbed my right hand. Me being right handed had to use my left hand to eat. I glared at Percy, but he just shrugged and continued to eat.
After we were done eating, Percy brought me to his room. Since it was the first day of school, we didn't have homework.
"Have you been having nightmares lately?" he asked as he pulled me down to sit on his bed with him.
"Not really." I replied, "Maybe once or twice each week." I looked down. That was pretty good in demigod standards, but still…
"Hey. Look at me." Percy said, as he lifted my chin up so I could see his sea-green eyes. We both started to lean forward. Our lips connected and I could still feel that same spark I felt when we first kissed, about three weeks ago. He started to lean down onto the bed, pulling me down along with him.
My hands started to travel up his shirt, his curling through my hair. After about five minutes I pulled away, breathless. I yawned.
My head fell onto his bare chest (his shirt had come off somewhere in between those five minutes). I snuggled into his surprisingly soft, but muscle chest. He held me by the waist, and I heard him yawn. My eyelids started to droop.
As soon as I knew it, I fell asleep.
So hope that chapter was worth the wait. With school coming up, I'll probably be updating more like this.
Sorry I was late. Hope you guys enjoyed this.
