PERCY JACKSON had just awoken from his nap. He was at first disoriented, not knowing where he was at nor where he was. He started flailing his arms until a hand touched his shoulder. All of a sudden he stopped once he realized he was still in the car, with Annabeth, driving down the highway.
"Oh, my gods Percy! What is the matter!" she asked while laughing hysterically. Percy, however, was not amused with Annabeth. It wasn't his fault he was kept up late last night, planning for the heist. While he enjoyed doing what he did, it sure was time-consuming.
"Jeez, Annabeth," Percy said, while still catching his breath from the incident. "Calm down." He tried to act serious but eventually, he melted into laughter. The two were laughing too hard to realize Annabeth missed the exit to head back to their headquarters. "Now, how long was I out?"
"You fell asleep for a good hour-and-a-half. He snored a lot too, like always," she said, checking her phone. It was normal of Annabeth to check her phone while driving. She enjoyed multi-tasking and was good at it.
Percy, checking his phone too, lost track of time as well. The reason wasn't his phone, no, it was the detective. No matter what he was doing on his phone, he couldn't stop thinking of that one kiss. That one kiss felt like it was changing his life. If he had run faster, if he had been ten minutes earlier, maybe he wouldn't have been on the ground with him, and maybe he wouldn't have had that one kiss. However, did Percy want to forget that kiss?.
It was starting to get dark before they both realized they made a mistake somewhere. The sun was going down over the horizon, casting a beautiful orange color across the sky.
"Uh, Annabeth," Percy started.
"Yeah, yeah, wise guy. I know. I think I made a mistake someone."
"Well, I KNOW you made a mistake someone," Percy responded sarcastically. Annabeth, however, did not find that funny. She decided to pull over at the nearest motel on the side of the highway. She knew she would get chewed out tomorrow at HQ, but they could not go back now. It would look too suspicious.
Percy got out of the car and went to the trunk, where a bag a cash was sitting. It was there in case of an emergency just like this, so nothing could be traced back either of them. He decided to let Annabeth do all of the talking. She was amazing at convincing people that they were just an innocent teen couple spending a night together. While it was true they were a couple once upon a time, Percy had broken it off. It wasn't because of something that Annabeth had done, rather, it was because of what Percy was feeling. Percy started feeling less and less attracted to girls and more and more attracted to other guys. While he was a virgin in that department, he wanted that to change.
They walked up to the room, and immediately it was set out that Percy would take the couch while Annabeth would take the bed.
"That's unfair!" Percy whined, "you always get the nice things!"
"Shut up, wise guy. You're smart enough to realize that I ALWAYS get what I want," and what with that, she turned off the light and tucked herself in. With only having a limited amount of cash, they didn't get a television, so it was quiet. Annabeth fell asleep quickly, however, Percy, along with taking a nap earlier and thinking about the incident, had a rough time. Soon, he started imagining had he went further than just the kiss, and if he and the detective had known each other their entire lives. Percy would have loved to taken it further than just a kiss, and as he started imagining that. Soon, his "downstairs" started acting up, so he went to the bathroom to go relieve it. It was quick, and Percy enjoyed every second. He went back to bed, feeling much better than before, and fell asleep peacefully.
It was 8 o'clock before Annabeth woke up. Usually, she is an early riser, but she slept much better than she had in the nights prior knowing the heist went according to plan. She, in turn, woke Percy up too. Whenever she was ready to go, she made sure Percy felt that too. Percy, however, proved more difficult to wake up than she had expected.
"Percy. Perrrrrcy. PERCY!" she ended up shouting. It took her at least a minute of talking into his ear before she fully shouted. Percy threw his arms up, hitting her in the face.
"OW!" she yelled, and then proceeded to hit him back, but even harder. That got Annabeth to start laughing. Percy just sat there, rubbing his arm.
"Alright, let's hit the road soon. I know they'll be mad at us but let's not wait too long." Annabeth started to clean up her little mess and Percy went to change clothes. Before he left the room for the last time, he smiled. He remembered last night and something, not knowing when, he wanted to make that a reality. And with that, they hit the road, back to the headquarters.
