"Calm down, Percy" Paul said, as he drove to Annabeth's house in New York.

"Really, sweetie, you've met Annabeth's parents before, and they like you." Mom reassured.

I gulped. "You're right. I'm panicking, not in the Grover way, for no apparent reason." But I only believed half of what I said.

"Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Blofis! It's good to finally meet you!" was Mrs. Chase's reaction when we rang the doorbell. "And, Percy, you've become more handsome."

Mr. Chase said, "Now, now, leave all that for Annabeth, sweetheart."

I laughed nervously.

"Annabeth! Percy's here!" Mrs. Chase called.

That's when all the worry went away, Annabeth looked absolutely stunning in a simple yet elegant aquamarine dress, and her hair was open, the golden curls shone in the light, and she didn't wear any make up, she didn't have to.

After a few introductions, Annabeth dragged me to her room by the hand.

"You look so beautiful." I murmured, before bringing my lips to hers.

I felt her smiling against my lips. When we pulled away, she said, "Do I really need to say how hot you always are?"

I smiled. "Well, that'd be nice."

"Well, you always look hot, but tonight you look smoking sexy." She winked.

"I'm not gonna do what I would've done, because your dress and everything would be ruined," I stepped closer to her and wrapped my arms around her waist, "but, thank you."

She put her arms around my neck as I kissed her neck, and she let out a moan.

I put a finger on her lips. "Shh, be quiet, our parents are here."

She nodded. "Well, maybe this will shut me up." She kissed me again, and we stayed like that, until we heard a knock on the door. I fixed my hair and my tie, while Annabeth made her way toward the door.

Dinner was ready, and we were all seated at the table. Mrs. Chase had cooked an excellent meal and Mr. Chase asked me a few questions. Suddenly, there was a knock on the front door.

"I'll get it." Annabeth opened the door and bowed.

Dad and Athena had come to pay us a visit. "Well, it's a family dinner after all, is it not?" Athena smiled.

And the nerves were back again. "Hey son." The Sea God took a seat beside me.

After a scrumptious dessert, we all made light conversation. The night could've been worse, or better.

"Seaweed Brain." I heard Annabeth whisper. She had gone to her room. I excused myself and followed, my face growing hot as I thought about what she was going to do.

She pulled me in by the tie, and wasted no time in closing the distance between us. I pushed her against the wall, as a low moan escaped from her lips. She put her legs around my waist, and I held her bare thighs, all the while kissing her non-stop. We both gasped for breath and pulled away.

She hugged me. "I love you Seaweed Brain."

I hugged her tighter. "I love you Wise Girl."

Guess it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
