Chap 4
Percy POV
I woke bright and early the next day feeling refreshed, excited and nervous.
Today was the day.
My Annabeth and I are going to Forks!
I glanced at my clock and found it was 4:30 AM! Seems I am very excited as I am such a sleepyhead normally.
I figured I should stay in my room for the time being so that I don't appear too excited to my mom.
I got up from my bed, walked over to the closet and silently pulled a little blue box from the back right corner. Then I grabbed a yellow flashlight from a barren shelf and sat back on the bed.
When I opened the box I smiled and sifted though until I found an old book with Files written on the outside.
Delicately turning the pages while holding the flashlight in the other hand, I started to look though my photo album.
Almost every photo I have of Annabeth is in here, even ones from when we weren't dating. I started at the back, flipping into the past. There were some recent ones of us chilling at restaurants and a few I sneaked of her while she wasn't looking at random places.
I guess you could say I was obsessed, but she was my girl and I loved her. There are no words to describe how I feel.
I know I sound girly and creepy but I honestly love her with all my being, even when I didn't know I loved her.
When she was offered a spot with Artimis, I never understood why I was so upset at the time.
Now I do.
I loved her, even back then, even when we were foolish children chasing monsters.
I continued back in time to right after we won the war.
In one picture we were standing outside the Empire State building facing each other with our hands clasped and up and our foreheads pressed against each other. It was cute and made me smile more, remembering that we were dirty, our clothes were torn and our hair a mess, but we were happy to be alive and together.
Going even further back I saw pictures that reminded me of fun times, and some not so fun, but every time I saw her my heart pulled, which was every picture.
I spent a good hour looking over the book, remembering all the time we had together and realizing that I always had loved her, even when I was that sweet, naïve little twelve-year-old boy.
I softly placed the book on the bed and picked up the box again. There were various things that I had collected over the years in it, most of them pertaining to Annabeth.
There were a plethora of key chains, my favorites being a wave Annabeth bought for me in San Francisco, a little heart shaped rock we had found and made into a key chain, but my all time favorite was a handmade tiny Yankees cap with a little heart on the top of the visor that Annabeth made for me. I snatched it out of the box and held it to my chest, thinking, yet again, how I landed a girl like her.
She was my everything, my all in all, but it made no sense. No matter how many times she tried to convince me, I just can't help but thinking that she was way too good for me, she built the Gods' city for gods' sake!
What did I ever do? I almost get her killed, and barely lead our side to victory, but only because a prophecy told it, with a ton of casualties on our side.
My Annabeth could have any guy, anyone in the entire world, and she chooses me?
But these feelings have dwindled.
Why?
She agreed to go to Forks. She loves me enough to upset her parents and pick up everything and leave, just like I love her the same way.
At about 7:00 AM my mom knocked on my door after my alarm went off, came in and found me lying on top of my comforter staring up at the ceiling with a blissful expression on my face.
"Hey, kid. You gonna come have breakfast? Blue pancakes and sausage." She said.
I mumbled a 'In a minute' and sighed before getting up and putting on jeans, for the parents' sake.
After a great breakfast I chilled on the couch before my mom told me to go get my bags.
I sprinted to my room, grabbed my duffel off the floor and stuffed my last remains in, apart from a few changes of clothes, including the box from earlier and all its contents before throwing on a shirt, dragging it down to the car and stuffing it in the trunk.
My mom gathered all I would need to get through the flights and put it in my drawstring bag.
I went through the house saying goodbye to each room then met my mom and Paul in the car, hopping into the back seat.
The drive to the airport was quiet and when we finally got there no one was in a hurry.
After check in we waited at the correct gate and waited for Annabeth and her family. Soon after they arrived and we sat in half comfortable, half awkward silence.
Our flight started loading and everyone stood. I shook Mr. Chase's hand telling him I would take care of his daughter, lightly hugged Paul and hugged my mom telling her that I loved her, I would message her and would see her soon.
The final call rang and I grabbed Annabeth's hand, pausing right before the gate to turn around and wave before moving on.
We boarded the plane and sat next to each other with the armrest folded up so we could hold hands.
Just as we were about to take off I turned to her and said, "Ready for this?"
She looked up, ran her hand over my face and pulled my lips to hers for a miniscule moment before saying, "Totally."
Our ride to Seattle went smoothly, as did our transfer and other ride up to Port Angeles.
When we got off the second plane we gathered our luggage and went to the car ramps where Charlie was picking us up. When we got there we saw a gigantic, colorful sign with our names on it.
A small smile graced my lips and Annabeth and I made our way over to it.
Charlie, a man with short, curly blackish-brown hair, recognized me immediately and pointed us out to a teenage girl standing with him I assume was his daughter. She had chocolate hair, pale skin pretty brown eyes.
We trotted over and Charlie asked if we were Percy and Annabeth and then started to chat but I didn't listen and tried to nod and say 'yeah, totally' in the right places.
We drove to the ridiculously small town of Forks and pulled up to a quaint two story house.
Charlie motioned us inside and Bella, his daughter, helped Annabeth with her bags.
We dropped our bags by the door and Charlie asked Bella to give us a tour of the ground floor and upstairs.
She showed us the kitchen, living room, upstairs bathroom, her room and Charlie's room. Charlie took us then and said, "I'm going to show you guys down to your basement so follow me and close your eyes once you get to the bottom of the stairs."
We followed him down the hallway and to a door next to the garage. We stopped and closed our eyes once we got down the stairs and waited politely for him to turn on the light. Soon enough he did and told us to open our eyes.
All I could think was wow.
The room was white, ready for paint. Charlie had built a wall in the center of the room and hung curtains over the openings in the fronts making two rooms and a hallway. There was also a door off the hallway.
I asked, "Hey, Mr. Charlie sir, what's that door over there?"
He chuckled and made his way over to the door and opened it.
Inside was a simple bathroom with a sink, toilet and tub/shower combo.
He replied, "I converted to old water hook-ups into a bathroom so four wouldn't have to share the one upstairs. It's not much but it'll help."
I told him, "Thank you Charlie, it's more than I imagined."
We all went upstairs then, Annabeth still speechless, and ate grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup. Annabeth told Charlie that she thought candles made meals more family-like, so we lit one and did our sacrifices with that.
At about 5:00 the moving truck arrived and we hauled all of the furniture downstairs.
After they left Charlie said Annabeth and I should arrange our rooms.
I trudged downstairs with my duffel and one of Annabeth's three, since she had to bring all her clothes.
I got the far room and pulled aside the curtain revealing a light wood bead with matching dresser and a desk. I started quickly, unpacking the stuff in boxes and handing Annabeth what was hers.
By 9:00 I had my bed dressed, rugs down, clothes in dresser and accessories in their appropriate places. Annabeth and I only stopped for dinner, a wonderful stir fry made by Bella, and a few short breaks.
I walked to the edge of my room and another foot then stuck my head in Annabeth's room. Hers was about the same as mine with some more girly touches. I knocked on the wall and she turned for her dresser and walked over to me. I grabbed her waist and brought her close, kissing her hair.
She said, "Hey. This is great, how Charlie pulled out all the stops."
I pushed her back until we were at her bed, sat down and pulled her onto my lap so we were face to face and her legs were around me.
I replied, "You know what's also great? Being here with you and the fact that the basement is soundproof so we can do whatever we want."
She sighed and said, "Yeah. We should message before it gets late, though. Then we'll be free!"
I chuckled and walked over to the aquarium. She got a drachma out of her purse and through it in the mist.
My mom appeared and said, "Percy! How is it there? Are you all right? How's Charlie?"
I laughed and said, "Slow, mom. It's great here; Charlie made us two awesome rooms. We are fine and Charlie seems to be a ok."
She chuckled and we talked for a little while longer before she told us to go.
I turned to my Annabeth and said, "Now that that's over, what should we do?" while backing her up against the wall.
She giggled and said, "Gosh, Percy. Eagar are we?" then crushed her lips to mine.
I tangled my fingers in her hair and she gripped mine. I felt her tongue run across my bottom lip and I gleefully granted her entrance. When we were out of breath I kissed from her lips, down to her collar bone and back up. Somehow one of my hands had traveled down her spine and to her butt. I squeezed it playfully and she yelped in surprise then jumped up to wrap her legs around me, pushing me closer, using the wall for support. My lips were back on hers and we both moaned into each other's mouth. At that point I backed up once she was back standing.
I looked at the floor for a second before I met her eyes and she said, "That was great. Never been like that before, but we can't go too far. It was bad enough we were grinding each other up like that."
I replied, "Yeah, best kiss ever, but you're right. That might have been the line."
She nodded and said, "Do you have swim trunks?"
"Yeah, why?" I told her.
She laughed and said, "Just put them on."
I went back to my room, closed my curtain and did as she told. She was already in the hallway and motioned for me to follow her into the bathroom. There was water in the tub and I turned to her for an explanation.
She shrugged and said, "Let's go to the beach in Forks."
Just then I realized she was in a little black bikini with pink flowers, looking very hot.
I dumbly nodded, closed the door and sat down in the warm water. Annabeth came in after me and sat on my lap. I pulled her to me and hugged her. We sat like that for a while, then she turned to face me and slid down so she had her butt against my feet.
From this angle she looked amazing, the lights hitting her just right, showing off her perfect-ness.
I pouted and she laughed, a laugh I could hear forever, and leaned in so I could kiss her. I took the opportunity and gave a sweet kiss 'till she pulled away saying, "I have got to shower, so go do something for a while. You can have it after me."
I groaned but got out anyway, taking a towel from the rack.
Showers went smoothly and when I came out of mine I only bothered to put on boxer briefs because that's what I was wearing to bed anyway.
I knocked on the wall then opened Annabeth's curtain to see her on her bed on Deadalus' laptop. She looked up and I swear I saw her eyes darken a shade before she said, "Hey, I see you are ready for bed. I guess a goodnight kiss is in order."
She put down the computer, walked over to me, came into my waiting arms. We hugged for a good long while before sharing a small kiss. I told her good night and flipped the light switch in the hallway then made my way back to my room and laid down.
I tossed and turned, trying to sleep to no avail. I finally gave up and did what I knew would put me to rest.
I said, "Annabeth, are you awake?"
She replied, "Yeah, can't sleep. You too, huh?"
I found all my courage and bravery and asked, "You can come in here, with me. I mean it makes sense and…and…and…" I rambled on but was cut off by her finger over my mouth.
She said, "Just move over seaweed brain."
I chuckled quietly and scooted over. She soon laid down and I pulled her to me.
In no time we were both fast asleep.
How was that? I just got back today, and once I saw all the reviews and favorites and story alerts, which was like a quarter and a half of my 58 messages (I'm addicted to Fanfiction, so many story alerts). Thank you and keep it up!
Qestion-awnser in review
Should Bella have a god as a dad, if so which one.
I think it should be a minor god, but I have no clue which one, so tell me what you think.
