Sandwiches

(TIME OF RELATIONSHIP- 'comfortable' stage of dating)

POV. Annabeth

"What do you want for lunch?" I asked lazily, laying, feet up, on the super soft brown velvet couch in our newly bought apartmentment. My head rested on Percy's lap,headphones plugged into my ears, swiping through new Spotify playlists.

"Dunno, what you want?" He replied blankly, his eyes glued to the T.V., remote in hand.

I yanked one of my ear buds out.

"What?"

"It's your choice, Wise Girl."

"Mmmm...pizza?"

"I thought we were gonna have pizza for dinner."

"Well, sorry Mr. Picky Pants."

He sighed, rolling his eyes. I looked up at him and slapped his cheek playfully.

"Hey! That hurt!"

"How 'bout... chinese?"

"Nah,"

"Pasta?"

"Too expensive."

"Soup."

"What?!"

"Ice-cream?"

"Sure,"

I grunted and pulled the second ear bud out of my ear.

"Let's go,"

"Mmmhmm,"

"Hey!" I snatched the remote out of his hand and turned the T.V. off.

"What?!" Percy tried to grab the remote from me, but I shoved it down my pants.

"What are you doing?" He mocked, scrunching his face up, which I thought was adorable.

"Ugh, whatever. Come on!"

"Fine, fine."

Percy and I parked down the street from where an INSANELY good ice-cream parlor was, holding hands as we crossed the street.

A cool autumn breeze swept over the streets, sending red, orange, and yellow leaves swirling around the sidewalks. I shivered and pulled the gray beanie on my head over my cold ears.

"I always forget what their name is…" Percy furrowed his eyebrows and squinted at the sign above the windows of the shop.

"Joey's Sweet Creamy Wonderland of Delight," I rolled my eyes.

"What? Really?"

"Of course not, Seaweed Brain! It's called Sammy's Best Ice-Cream!" Facepalm.

"Oh… that makes sense."

"Yes, wow," Sometimes I'm amazed at Percy's stupidity. Wait, nevermind.

A small bell jingled above the glass paneled doors as we squeezed in. I glanced around the quaint shop. The floor had a large black and white checker board design and the mismatched colored tablecloths set a little playful tone. A glass vase of fake flowers were placed at the center of each circular table, some red, pink, and blue.

Percy sighed and ran his hand through his hair. I resisted the urge to touch it.

"Hello?" A voice rang from the back of the store. We looked up.

A black haired teenage girl ducked out from underneath the counter. Her messy hair stuck up in random places and the leather studded jacket she had on set a horrible mood in the room. I was surprised they actually let her work here.

"Hey Thals!" I gave her a friendly wave from across the room and she gave me a sarcastic eye roll.

"Come on, Annie-"

"Don't call me that."

"Okay, Annabeth, seriously?"

"Whatever,"

"Whatever," She mocked me, flipping her non-existent 'long' hair across her shoulder to emphasize sass.

"Are you ladies done here?" Percy gave us a crooked smile that sent a warm feeling crawling up my spine.

"Yeah, sure, whatever. Sooo… what'ya want?" Thalia causally waved a metal ice cream scoop around she had gotten earlier from the large metal sink in the back..

"Um, I'll have a double scoop of the...Double-Chocolate Chunk in… blue, if that's possible." Percy cut in.

"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't- Oh, actually..." Thalia swiftly turned around, ducking under the counter (again) and came back a few seconds later holding a little tear drop shaped plastic container holding some deep blue liquid.

"Food coloring!" She exclaimed, then set it down on top of the glass display case.

"Cup or cone?"

"Cone, please."

"'Kay," Thalia picked up a giant waffle cone from behind her and scooped out two generous scoops of Double-Chocolate Chunk ice-cream and plopped it onto the 'item of securement'.

"Blue food coloring…" She muttered, and uncapped the plastic container, turning it upside- down to squeeze out a few drops onto the scoops.

"Thaaank you," Percy said, taking the cone from Thalia's hand.

"And for you, ma'am?"

I smacked her shoulder lightly from across the counter and said in a dignified voice, "Strawberry, please."

"Alrighty, cone or-"

"Cup,"

"Single scoop-"

"Yes,"

Thalia paused.

"Okay…"

After we both had our ice-creams in hand, we exited the shop, giving a swift goodbye to Thalia as we gave her ten dollars and told her to keep the change.

"Can we go home now?" Percy asked, grabbing my hand and bumping his shoulder against mine.

"We just bought ice-cream!" I exclaimed. Why, WHY, was he so lazy?

Because he's Percy. Another voice in my head said sarcastically. Oh yeah.

"But…" He turned his head to me, giving me that adorable pouty face that he knew, he KNEW, I always fell for.

"Fine," I sighed.

Percy was back on the sofa, me curled up beside him, still eating my ice-cream.

"How can you be done?" I looked up at his mesmerized face.

"Dunno,"

"You eat too fast,"

"You eat too slow,"

I sat up and hopped off the couch.

"Hey, where're you go'in?" He shouted as I made my way to the kitchen.

"Oh, you know, lunch!" I yelled back.

"I thought we had ice-cream for lunch?" His confused voice drifted into my ears.

I rolled my eyes.

"Just watch T.V.!"

He paused.

"Fine!"

Okay… what am I gonna ma… oh, oh right. That.
