Don't worry guys! Percabeth isn't going to happen this fast!

Chapter 4

(Annabeth's pov)

No one said anything during the whole drive. Which is fine because I just stared out the window in awe. But the drive didn't take long, 10 minutes at the most. I brought a bag with necessary beach supplies incase Percy took me somewhere in need of a bathing suit. We are in Hawaii after all.

My suspicions were corrected when we pulled into a parking lot. I couldn't see much since it was covered by trees, but I could see the water in the distance.

Percy grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me to the beach jogging. I giggled, "slow down a little!"

"Never! Come one slow poke!"

When we reached the beach I stopped short. It was so beautiful. There was a narrow strip of sand running across the shore. The water was so clear at the shore it was almost green! As the water got farther it changed colors. Light green to turquoise to sky blue to dark blue. There was barely any people around. Just a few but they were far away to just be a small speck in the distance.

"Like what you see?"

"Like it? IT'S BEAUTIFUL!"

"Anini beach. One of my favorites. You think it looks beautiful, wait till you get in!" He kicked of his flip flops and shirt. I blushed when I saw he had a perfect toned stomach. All abs and muscle. I took a little longer. I had to unlace my converse, wiggle out of my shorts, and take off my shirt to reveal my favorite silver bikini underneath. I saw Percy looking me up and down.

"Hello? My face is up here."

He chuckled, "Sorry. You're just so beautiful." I blushed.

"Well are we going to the water or what?" He didn't respond. Just ran to the water and dived under a small wave. I laughed and followed him in.

Once he finally came up for air, he had some seaweed on his head. I burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at."

"Oh, nothing. Seaweed brain." He looked up and threw it off his head. I was about to laugh more but he dived under the water before I had the chance.

We swam and splashed around for a while until he yelled, "see that over there?" I followed where he was pointing but didn't see anything.

"What?"

"That brown circle floating in the water?" He asked excitedly.

"I see that. What so interesting-" but he was running back to shore. Creating massive splashes as he went. I saw him run to his car and grab some thing. Once he got closer I recognized them as snorkeling gear.

"Snorkeling? I've never don't that before."

"Well theres a first time for everything. That brown circle is a turtle. I rarely see them out here!"

(A/N when I went there I actually swam with turtles at this very beach!)

Percy shoved the gear at me with excitement. He put his on with ease, while I was struggling to get it over my high ponytail. Once masks and flippers were on we set out to deeper water. The visibility was so perfect, the water was perfect. Everything was perfect. We saw a assortment of the most colorful fish I've ever seen.

I saw the turtle in the distance and pointed at it frantically, trying to get Percy's attention. We swam over together to get a closer view. It was so close I wanted to touch it, but their protected so you can't.

For the next thirty minutes we swam back and forth looking for new fish to marvel at. Finding, not only fish, but sea urchins, eels and more turtles.

Percy finally motioned to go back to shore. When we got to the sand, my legs felt like jelly from swimming so long! But it was seriously worth it. I checked my phone 3:52. Five texts and a missed call from Thalia and two texts from Hazel.

Thalia: How's your date?!

Thalia: What are you guys doing?

Thalia: I NEED UPDATES GIRL!

(Missed call)

Thalia: ANNIE- BETTHHH

Hazel: Sorry! Just ignore her.

Thalia: You better not be avoiding me.

Hazel: Thalia SHOULD stop now. Sorry, have fun!

I laugh. "What's so funny?" Percy asked me.

"Oh just my friends."

"Okay... well I was thinking maybe I could bring you back to your place. Then I'll pick you up at six for dinner?"

"Sure! But why do we need to go back first?"

"I wanted to change into something more fancier than board shorts. Just into something casual but nice. Not to fancy." I nod as we head back to the car. I lay my towel down on the seat so I don't get his car wet. He doesn't seem to mind. He jumped into the drivers seat without drying off at all and starts the car.

"Don't you mind if your car gets all wet?"

"Oh. Well it'll end up sandy eventually. I never bring a towel when I go to the beach. Usually when we go surfing, we walk. So I'm dry by the time we get back. Guess I jst forgot."

"You really are a seaweed brain. We?" I ask him as he pulls into the main road.

"Jason and Piper."

"Ah," I nod. "Are you guys really good friends?"

"Pssh. Yes! There like my siblings. I don't know what I'd do without them. I love them." After a moment he says, "wait, ugh. That was really cheesy wasn't it?"

"No, no. I think it's sweet. Anyway, thanks for taking me to that beach. It was great." We pull into my driveway.

"Anytime. See you tonight!" I climb out of the car and wave to him at the door. When I walk in my dad was reading a newspaper in the kitchen.

"Back already?" he asks.

"He's going to take me out to dinner later." I quickly change the subject so he doesn't asks any annoying follow up questions. "Where are Hazel and Thalia?"

"They're-" he didn't get to finish because the girls came running down the stairs, squealing.

"How was it?"

"Uh good. He's taking me to dinner later."

Another screech. "Come upstairs and we'll get you ready. You need to tell us everything."
