A/N: Hi guys, see you got to 40 reviews by the next day! I was even a little disappointed that I had to update so quickly! And here's a quick shout out to Hawaiian GURL 808 my friend they said that when she left the hotel it wasn't the Hilton though, but then I went to this website for some sayings and stuff that I could put in later in my story and they said it means farewell, maybe I copied it wrong, but it's probably just a really inaccurate website. Thanks for saying that though!
Chapter 4- Annabeth
I walked out of my room to my mom who was sitting on the plush leather couch in the living room where she was reading A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks.
"Come on Mom let's go." I said anxious to get to the beach.
"Okay, just one more page OH MY GOD SHE HAS LUKEMIA! WHY DID YOU TELL ME TO READ THIS BOOK!" (A/N: that actually happened to me and my mom, XD)
"Sorry, I told you it was going to be sad…" I said awkwardly. She got up off the couch refusing to look me in the eye. She opened the heavy wood door and we walked down the never ending hallway towards the elevator.
I pressed the plastic down button and waited for the elevator to come in comfortable silence. Then the elevator dinged open. We walked in and I pressed main floor where we could walk out to the back to the beach. I looked at my mom again.
"It really is a good book."
"I know Mom"
"I just…," she let out an exasperated sigh, "why would he do something like that to the character I mean that's absolutely terrible!"
"I know Mom"
"An-" She was then cut off by the opening of the two metal elevator doors. We walked out into the lobby that was filled with beautiful plants and flowers and walked towards the back of the building. There, a man was giving out lime-green wristbands.
"Wrist please" he called out to me. I put my wrist near him and he put it around it. I guess it was so people couldn't sneak onto the resort land and use the facilities.
We walked out onto the beautiful white sand beach and I took my flip flops off liking the feel of the grains of sand between my toes. The sand was hot to the touch, but I didn't care. We soon found my dad and Bobby and Mathew playing in the sand.
My dad ran up to me.
"There you are honey, how was the plane ride without us?"
"It was fine, I slept most of the way anyways."
"Oh that's good, so are you up to playing in the waves with your old man? Bobby and Mathew are too scared to go in." I looked at the waves in the distance. They were pretty big, but nothing to be afraid of!
" Okay, but first I'm in the mood for a Pina Colada, virgin of course."
"Here's ten dollars, the bar on the resort is open for another hour or so, but next door is a public beach and they have a bar that's open now."( A/N: I haven't been to the Hilton in Hawaii, so if any of this info is not correct sorry.)
"Okay thanks, dad." I said as I started off towards the public beach in the distance. It was about a half mile away, and that was probably another reason of why we had the wristbands on. As I crossed towards the public beach, I saw the bar in the corner making drinks for some people on a line. I waited on line for a good ten minutes before being asked what I would like.
"A Virgin Pina Colada, please," I said while handing him the ten dollar bills. You might not have known this, but pina colada's are expensive, even without the alcohol! He handed me back two dollars and gave me the drink in a complimentary plastic cup with flowers and all these Hawaiian sayings on it. Just after saying thank you, I turned around and smacked right into a guy passing by and spilled my drink all over his shirt.
"Oh my god! I am so sorry! I'm such a clutz!" I said nervously. Seriously, did I have to bring my clutziness to Hawaii!
"He looked down at his shirt. Hah, it's okay. I'll just take it off." Then he looked up and guess what. IT WAS PERCY! JUST MY FREAKING LUCK!
"Oh hey Annabeth."
"Hey," I said smiling, "sorry about that."
"That's okay, I'll just take it off." He said with a smug grin. He took of his white tee shirt to reveal a very toned looking Percy with a six pack. I blushed furiously.
"You're blushing" he said smirking.
"Well yeah, it's really hot out here" I said quickly.
"."
"Shut up." I said playfully.
" So what brings you off your beautiful Hilton resort to here, the to the public beach?"
"Well I was craving a Pina Colada, which might I say there isn't too much left, and the resort's bar doesn't open for another hour, but my dad said that there was a public beach next door whose bar was open."
"Ah, well I'm glad you were craving a drink." He said smiling. I blushed and smiled back up at him.
Then he started again, " So you wanna go in the water?"
"Sure," I said totally forgetting about my promise to my dad.
"Maybe you should tell your dad that.."
"Oh right, your totally right. I'll be about ten minutes okay?" I started running towards the Hilton, man but it was hard to run in this stupid sand, so I settled on a brisk walk. When I finally caught sight of my dad talking to my mom, I yelled out.
"Dad, hey I'm sorry, but a few of my friends (cough, cough just Percy) that I met on the plane are next door at the public beach. Can I please go over there and hang out with them?" I asked hopefully.
"Okay, just be back by six. That's when we are gonna go up and start getting ready for dinner."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" As you can imagine, I started running again before reminding myself. Ew, Annabeth do you really want to be sweaty in front of Percy. The other side of my brain said, " but she's gonna be in the water soon anyway, and he won't know the difference." My brain was having a battle back and forth. Thankfully, they stopped talking when I saw Percy again. But then, they went at it again.
"Damn, look at that!" "Shutup he's just a friend" my other brain argued.
"SHUTUP!" I said aloud. People started looking at me crazily. God that must have sounded really crazy. Then I saw a girl go up to Percy in his no shirt glory. She had red hair, green eyes, and an okay face, but she was really short. I saw her batting her eyelashes. She was flirting.
"OH HELLLLL NO"
"IT'S PROBABLY JUST HIS COUSIN."
''WITH RED HAIR, LIKELY STORY." God what is wrong with my brain today!
The redhead then placed a hand on his shoulder, and he gingerly took it off, like she had a disease. I started laughing, and some people walked away whispering things and looking back at me. I should really stop doing these kinds of things. Percy walked away and I caught up with him.
"Hey" I said
"Oh there you are!" he said with surprise.
"Yeah, it's only eleven o clock, wanna head into the water?"
"Definitely." He tossed off his flip flops by his beach towel and I slid off my cover up. When I opened my eyes Percy was staring at me with his mouth open. Boys.
"Percy you're drooling." He wasn't, but I wanted to see what he'd do. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. I laughed a long laugh and he was smiling.
As we made our way into the water I started a conversation.
"Are Nico and Grover here?"
"No, they went to some volcano thing, but I love the beach no matter where I go, plus this my first time in the Pacific. If you forgot I live in New York where the Atlantic is."
"Well I've never been in the Atlantic." I countered.
"They're both oceans, this is a lot prettier though, but that's probably only because where so far away from shore. The Atlantic's rougher though." After about five minutes of just laying in the warm water, he started talking again.
"You wanna go in the waves now."
"Yep, race you!" I said while diving under the salty water swimming farther out where we could ride the waves. He beat me there by a lot, but he's taller! Hey don't look at me like that. I know I had a head start,but.. you know what I don't have to explain myself to you!
We rid some of the smaller waves that you just jump over because they don't have a lot of power, and haden't broken yet. But then, a really big wave was coming and I tensed up. I was tempted to swim back as fast as I could, but Percy grabbed my hand and looked at me in the eye with those beautiful sea green eyes of is.
"For protection." He said as if explaining why he grabbed my hand.
Protection my ass.
