Time Keeps Going… No Matter How Much I Want It To Pause
I met Annabeth in the lobby that next morning… and the morning after that, and basically every morning for the next three weeks. I learned that all her friends I previously met on that first day were also demigods. Thalia was a daughter of Zeus, Jason was also a son of Zeus, Nico was a son of Hades, The Stolls were Hermes' kids along with Chris, Leo was the son of Hephaestus, Katie Gardner daughter of Demeter, Piper McClean daughter of Aphrodite, Clarisse daughter of Ares, her brother Frank and Nico's sister Hazel and Grover was a Satyr. It was pretty cool that all my new friends were demigods so I wouldn't have to lie to them about that. As the weeks went by Annabeth and I got closer and closer, I really like her why does her mother have to be the one goddess who hates me just because I was born. And despite this small detail we became close and I was trying to be cool with the fact that we would probably only ever be friends I swear I really was trying but it was really hard.
One day Annabeth and I were walking back to my apartment to do some homework when we decided to grab a little something to eat beforehand. So we walked into this little pizzeria and each grabbed two slices of plain and a coke. We ate and talked about the project we had to do for our Mythology class, we had to do a project on the most interesting myth that involved to gods together. We decided to do ours on how Medusa came to be. I know funny right… daughter of Athena and son of Poseidon discussing how Medusa came to be. I thought it was funny Annabeth less so, she scowled and mumbled a "Seaweed Brain" but shook her head and smiled and agreed. Ok so back to the present we had finished our pizza and were back in my apartment when we were discussing it. My mom wasn't home so we had the whole place to ourselves. I was talking about how it wasn't my dad's brightest move when a strand of hair fell into Annabeth's face and without thinking twice I reached up and pushed it behind her ear. She looks at me and I blush, she looks shocked but had a small smile nonetheless. Annabeth then whispered maybe we should reenact the two, really get into their heads?" She questioned gently.
"Your right, we wouldn't want any wrong information on our project after all," I said. She smiled and then we both leaned over and our lips met and forgive me for being cheesy but sparks flew and my lips felt like they were on fire, but it was a good burn though not painful just intense… I felt like I was actually in heaven. I smiled into the kiss and felt her do the same. I honestly don't know how long we were like that and I didn't care I wanted this moment to pause and stay there for all eternity, but the next thing I know all I hear is my mom screaming "YES!" I blushed, like I was the color of a tomato and Annabeth was no different. She had a smile on her face, maybe it was because she knew my mom approved of her, my mom LOVES Annabeth. Focus though Percy, I thought to myself and I saw that Annabeth was getting up to leave and I told her that I would walk her out.
I walked Annabeth to her apartment and I looked at her she had a small smile on her face and she looked so beautiful. She looked up at me and she opened her mouth once closed it then opened it again and quickly said, "So what does this make us?"
I looked at her and said without a trace of hesitation, "Hopefully it makes you my girlfriend and me your boyfriend. So Annabeth Chase would you like to go out with me this Friday night to the movies?" I looked at her hopefully and she smiled and looked up at me and then she kissed me straight on the lips. It was a soft kiss and it lingered when she pulled away. "Does that answer your question Seaweed Brain?" She asked and I replied with "I am a little oblivious could you repeat your answer?" She smiled and kissed me again and I said, "Your answer is crystal clear"
She smirked and said, "Good now if you don't mind me I should be going my dad and stepmom might get worried." I smiled kissed her again and told her I would see her tomorrow bright and early. I walked back to my apartment the smile never leaving my face and when I went back into the living room my mom was smirking and asked me if I was a gentleman and a lot of other embarrassing questions. I told her I had a date with Annabeth on Friday and she was so estatic. I can't wait for school tomorrow to see how all our friends react because they have been saying we should get together since the first day I walked through those doors. Well tomorrow will be interesting.
