So here is the next chapter. Sorry it took so long. I've been reading "Percy Jackson's Greek Gods"
Just a little Pre warning. Come October I will be taking a break to read "Blood of Olympus".
I also have put my other story on Hiatus so this will be getting more of a focus.
I have a new arrangement for you all now. One I hate it when people do this, but I am seriously starting to lose hope right now. So here it is. If you guys, gals and demigods want the next chapter sooner father then later, then you have to do me a favor and either 1) Leave a Review or 2) PM me.
5 Months Later
The last past months had been interesting for the two of them. Sally was now more accepting of Annabeth, to the point that she was having her over almost every night, spending time with her while cooking dinner usually.
A couple of nights before their five month anniversary they had, what wasn't their first fight but their biggest fight. It would seem like to others that it wasn't that big of a deal (or at least not to Percy), but to Annabeth it was a huge deal.
It all started her missing plans, that she had been working on ever since she was a kid and now Percy didn't want to be with her.
She was losing it. On top of everything that was going on she had just found a little slipped under her door saying that she had to vacate, as she did not pay her rent and there was someone else who wanted her place.
She couldn't be more upset about everything that was happening currently. She figured she would give it one last try, one big move to see if she could keep the man of her dreams.
She started looking for new places in hope that it was enough for Percy to want to stay with her. To her luck she had found one, right after her friend called her. Ok so the apartment was a little pricey and maybe it did come with a certain electric blue eyed punk as a neighbor, but it would work.
Thankfully, her friend had the landlord hold the apartment, so it was good news that she could not only get it but move in right away, which is hard in New York.
She was about to start packing when a knock came to the door. She was surprised to see who it was on the other side. The person said that they would be willing to help out, that is after she told them her plan.
At the Jackson Apt.
"Mom it's not like that." Percy said vastly getting agitated with his mother
"Then tell what it is, because to me it looks like you are pushing the one person who loves you more then me away. " Sally said
"Mom, I love her, I really do and trust me I want to be with her. I just kind of thought that we moved in together that it would be to a place of our own, not her place." Percy replied
"Then sweetheart why don't you tell her that? She is mad about you Perc, all she wants is the same thing as you."
"It's not that simple." His mother gave him a look, but he didn't let her say anything "You remember that lot I bought a while ago outside the city, you know the one I was going to surprise Rach with?"
Sally nodded
"Well, a couple of days ago when I was over at Annabeth's I saw some blueprints of hers that said "DREAM" on it. So I opened them up and saw that it was a house, so I took them. I showed them to Beck and he said that it was possible to do, so I have him and his crew building the house for her."
His mom looked estatic.
"Mom you can't tell her, I want it to be a surprise. PLEASE!?" He begged
Sally started getting teary eyed
"Percy, even though I think that's a fabulous idea, I think in the mean time for the sake of your relationship with her that you tell her, if not anything else that you don't want to move in to her place because you want a place for the two of you. You know something that doesn't make you feel like your an invader. If you tell her that Perc, I think she will be understanding."
Percy wasn't sure how to tell Annabeth all of this because she wasn't really talking to him right now. If he had to be honest he was missing her a lot. He craved to have her in his arms once again, to be able to feel her sweet lips against his, the smell of her hair and just all around the feel of her.
He was ripped from his deep thoughts when his step father cleared his thought again, having missed his mom telling him Annabeth was coming over to talk to her. Paul walked into the room with Annabeth right behind him.
Percy did something that he wasn't even aware of doing.
He rushed over to her and pulled her into a tight embrace. That was when he said it.
"Annabeth, I don't want to move into your apartment. I want us to move into an apartment that is truly ours."
She pushed away from him
"Well that's good Perc because I kind of let my rent slip for the month. I actually just found a place a block away from here, that has two bed and two bath. Your amazing step father has been helping me move today. It's actually why I'm over here, I wanted to get some of your stuff to take over."
"I figured the reason you hesitated was that, you didn't feel like it was ours. I love you Percy and the last thing I want to happen is lose you over something this stupid."
He smiled down at her before giving her a little kiss.
"You love me?" Percy said
"Yeah Perc, why is that a surprise? I just think that we've been taking things slow enough, that it's time we start taking things a bit faster."
"I love you too Annabeth. I want more then anything to spend more time with you. You have no idea how many times I pictured falling a sleep with the most beautiful woman in my arms and getting to wake up to her every morning. It's just that I don't want to JUST move in with you..." Annabeth looked shocked by this. "I want to start the rest of my life with you. That is if you'll have me?"
She couldn't believe what she just heard, but it sounded like he was proposing. She didn't know what to say or what to do, she just starred at him like a deer in head lights.
He finally broke the silence.
"I'm not asking you to marry me. Well at least not right now, but what I guess I am asking is that, it's just you and me, you know we um don't uh other people or flirt with other people."
"So you're saying that you want us to be an "US" to be exclusive?" Annabeth said smiling up at him
She really couldn't be more happy about this. She knew deep down that she was ready to be engaged, she really did want to marry him, but she felt like he wan't completely ready for that big of a step.
I mean he has been scorned before and by two other women before.
She wanted to be the last woman that he was ever going to be with, she wanted that more then anything.
She looked up into his sea green eyes, put her hands on his chest and smiled.
"You should go and pack some of your things, unless you want to stay here." She said
He leaned down and kissed her before he left the room, to pack some of his stuff.
They had stayed there for dinner that night to chat with Sally and Paul, before they decided to leave.
With Pauls help they brought some of the boxes that he had already finished and put them into Percy's car.
The ride to the new place was uneventful. Percy kept stealing glances at Annabeth, smiling knowing that she was "the one".
First night at the new place
Percy was amazed by how big the place was, even with boxes all over the floor.
He stopped in front of one of the bed rooms and noticed that beside a bed in it, which by the way was still in it's protective wrapping, there wasn't much there.
He figured that this was going to be his room for the time being. As he was getting ready to put his box down in the room, Annabeth came into the doorway.
"What do you think you're doing, putting your stuff in the GEUST room?" She asked with a smile on her face
"You're going to be in the main room room with me. Unless you don't want to stay with me?" She said toying with him
He made way over to her, kissed her softly and went into the room that they were going to be sharing together.
"You don't think that this is too fast for us. I mean we just moved in and you already want us to share a bed? It's not that I don't want to share a bed with a beautiful woman, because trust me I really do, its just that I don't really want to push you to do something that you aren't ready for that's all." He said
"Percy if I wasn't ready to make this type of step I wouldn't have told you that you were in OUR room. Now if you don't mind I'm going to change into something more comfortable and unpack somethings for the living room. Once you decide if you're going to stay with me in this room and put your stuff down, then you can join me." She said walking into the bathroom
It didn't take Percy long to figure things out. He had already put his box down, strip his shirt, shoes and socks off before she came back out.
By the time she was out and over to him he already down to his boxers.
She looked at him with a raised eye brow.
"What? This is me getting comfy." He said
She tried to walk past him, but he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her into him.
"You know we could always skip the unpacking and just go straight to bed?" He said kissing the top of her head
She had some how managed to get out of his grip.
"We could, but we don't have any sheets to sleep on. So anyway we would have to do some unpacking. So we should get out there and open some of those boxes so that you can get your Beauty sleep." She said swaying her hips as she left the room
He moaned at what she was doing to him, but he followed her out there.
As he was approaching, he caught her starring at him.
"I hope you're getting a good look, cause you're going to be seeing a lot of this." He said making her blush
He walked over to her, taking both of her hands in his.
"Because this.." He said looking down at himself "is all yours. For as long as you want it. I don't plan on being let alone giving my self to anyone but you."
She leaned up slightly and kissed him
"As for this weekend I would really love it if you would come with me to Sils and Becks wedding?" He asked
"Why Percy you do know that you really didn't have to ask me to come with you, I would have done it anyways." She said turning around in his arms
"Besides I wouldn't want any of the ladies there to try to take my man now would I?" She said with a smile on her face.
"You know we can always remedy that." He said pulling her hard against him.
The Next Morning
Percy woke slightly only to feel the small body of his girlfriends against his. He looked down as he saw blonde hair sprawled across his chest, he couldn't help but smile at the sight of her against his side with smile on her face.
He slowly drifted back to sleep tightening his grip on her.
Annabeth woke up about two hours later. She tried to move but found that she was being held down tightly. She opened her eyes even more and saw that she was sleeping against Percy. Her head on his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart, her left arm was across his body.
She smiled even more as she turned her head a little and kissed him.
