6. Luck

Percy considered himself lucky.

It happened one day when he was sitting at his desk studying Algebra. It was not going well."x equals negative b times the radical over 4 a minus-Annabeth I don't get this!"

Annabeth was laid out upon his bed, her feet kicked up and her eyes engrossed by her latest architecture magazine. The window was open, the backstreets of New York City yelling in the distant air, passing through the clouds. It was peaceful to the two of them, even though Annabeth had come over hoping for an adventure, not being stuck inside waiting for Percy to finish his homework.

"You'll get it soon enough," She murmured, yawning silently. Sleep was catching up to her.

"No I won't," Percy said, running a hand through his hair. "None of this makes sense to me and I have a stupid test. All of this is shi-"

Annabeth, who knew Percy well enough to know this was him asking for help, walked over and draped her arms around his neck, leaning forward so her head rested on his shoulders. They were silent for a long moment while Annabeth read over his book until she whispered, "This is troublesome?"

He groaned openly, wishing for the summer air to come soon enough. Final Exams were slowly killing him. He leaned his head back, listening to the dull thump of her heart through her shirt. "Yeah it's hard! I don't get it!"

Annabeth twisted her head to give him a look of smirking disbelief and proceeded to explain all of algebra to him in a matter of moments. He listened intently (or tried to), but the the thump of her heart and the whisper of lips murmuring on and on soothed him. Sometimes, it felt as if he was listening to the ocean crash back and forth on the beach, rolling over his hands.

He turned his head so his lips were on her cheek. Her breath shook for a moment before exhaling quickly and restarting her tirade of mathematics. He felt her cheeks growing warmer against his lips. Moving to her ear, Percy whispered, "Hey Annabeth."

Her mind thrashed wildly in determination to stay focused but her lips would not listen. "What?" She whispered, barely being able to let the words out.

"I think I'm good with the math," He mumbled, his hot breath sending shivers down her spine.

She turned to face him, their noses touching, her storm eyes connected to his ocean ones. "Oh do you now?"

"Yes," He said before pressing his lips against hers.

And soon her fingers were in his hair and his hands were grasping her hips and her legs were around his body and he was carrying her to his bed and soon he was on top of her and they were kissing and he was running all over her skin and she was whispering nothing into his lips.

But Annabeth pulled away and said, "Wait wait! You have an exam tomorrow, you need to study."

Percy sighed, resting his head upon her chest, listening to the excited beat. "I'll be fine, I understand it."

"Do you really?" She asked, on eyebrow raised.

"Yes!" He said, but they both knew he was lying. She chewed her lips, Percy's eyes silently pleading that she understand. Annabeth sighed loudly after thinking for a long time.

"You're damn lucky you have me, you know that?"

He grinned. "I know."

His lips were on hers again and he was running all over her skin and her legs were around his body and they were in love and he knew he was lucky.

That was nice. I enjoyed it. Lucky Percy. Read and review please.
