Chapter 9
Lydia POV
"VALDEZ, GET YOUR ASS UP! WE HAVE TO GO!"
Leo bolted up right, his eyes wild and looking around frantically. He reached for me and pulled me closer by the hips. I lifted my arms as he undid my jeans and pulled them down.
I guess he didn't notice everyone else in the room. They were all staring, looking as confused as I was. Hazel yelped and covered her eyes. "Sam—ughh, Leo, what are you doing to her," Hazel screamed. He ignored her and pulled the left side of my panties. "What are you looking for," I whispered, looking down at him. "What," he asked, but he didn't seem to be talking to me. He lifted the floral print covers and groaned. "Nooooo," but it was so real.
"What are you talking about," I demanded.
The guys were laughing quietly behind me. Apparently they knew. I turned my head to them. "What's so funny?" Jason was leaning against the door, cracking up. "Percy, I can't breath man," he said. "Dude, me neither!" Frank was laughing the most though. He was actually on the floor, holding his stomach.
Leo glared at all of them, his face red.
"I'll catch up with you guys, just let me get ready," he said.
"Pssh, more like 'let me clean myself up'," Percy laughed.
Annabeth seemed to realize something and then snickered a little. "C'mon, let's give Leo some time to dry off, I mean get ready." They all burst out laughing and walked out the door. I hurriedly followed them outside. I fell into step with Annabeth and asked quietly, "Please tell me that Leo—"
"Didn't have a wet dream about you? Well sorry Lydia, 'cuz he did. And apparently, it was a good one," she finished.
The guys howled with laughter as we strolled down the hall.
I felt my face burn and couldn't help but smile. Piper and Hazel were now laughing too. We stood outside the hotel, waiting for Leo, and watching the hotel buses and cars pass by. Hazel went back inside to check on Leo. We were supposed to be waiting for our friend to come. He would be our transportation to Florida. The guys were sitting on the cobblestones, talking. I cleaned my sword, while Annabeth read quietly, and Piper ate a bagel.
Someone in a black army jacket approached us. He was pale and almost as tall as me. He looked familiar, but yet not. A sword, black as midnight, swung at his side. "Nico," Annabeth and I squealed. His eyes bulged and we attack him. I wrapped my arms tight around him and so did Annabeth. He gave Percy and look that said U mad bro? Annabeth playfully hit him and smiled.
"Aww I missed you! You grew so much," she said, sounding like a grandma. "
"I kissed his cheek and hugged him, just as Hazel and Leo came out. Leo stood in the doorway and Hazel screamed, waking him from his daze. She ran towards him and embraced her brother. Piper was standing to the side, awkwardly, because she didn't know Nico. "Aww, what the heck," she said, pulling him in for a hug.
"Who is this twerp," Leo said to the guys.
The looked at him and laughed one last time. "You all dry Valdez," Frank asked. Leo glared and waited for an answer. "That's Nico, Hazel's half brother. Except, he's the son of Hades, not Pluto. He's our transportation so be nice, Dream Boy," Percy answered.
We walked Nico over to the guys and introduced them. He explained to them how shadow travel worked and said that we'd be tired afterwards. "Ok, now everyone has to hold hands, because, I don't think I can carry all of you," Nico said. Everyone locked hands and Nico opened a hole, it was dark, but we stepped in. If you could time travel, I imagined this is what it would feel like. I heard weird sounds, and there was nothing but darkness. We stumbled out the hole, everyone falling on one another.
"Ow, that didn't feel good," Leo said.
"Where are we," I said, groggily.
"I assume, we're at Paris place," Nico responded.
The place was huge. Apparently, the prince was still sitting pretty. We thanked Nico and he hugged Hazel, telling her to stay safe. Then he left. We walked up towards the door. Jason was about to knock on the door, but he stopped when he heard giggling and the click clack of heels behind the door. He looked bad at us and raised his eyebrows. He knocked. More giggling, from like multiple people. A man opened the door. He looked dazed and wasn't wearing any clothes. Everyone's expression was shocked. The guys groaned, and looked away in disgust.
Me on the other hand, well my jaw dropped and I felt drool drop along with it. Annabeth was staring like it was some kind of amazing blueprint. Hazel, who I was very surprised in, had jewels appearing up to her ankles, and Piper was slowing inching closer, smiling widely.
"Dude could you put some pants on please," Percy yelled.
The man stared us up and down, licking his lips; especially at Hazel. Frank shot the guy daggers. "C'mon man, she's fourteen! That's so wrong," Frank hissed. Jason stepped in front of the man, keeping his eyes on his, and began speaking. "Um sir, do you happen to know where a man named Paris is?" The man broke his gaze and smiled. "Why that's me! Who wants to know young demigods?" "Um we do, Paris. By the way, I'm Lydia, daughter of Athena," I said quickly. He took my hand and kissed the top. I giggle and blushed.
"Ahh yes, I remember Athena. Such a beautiful woman. I see you got her curves too." Paris ran his hands along my hips and smiled. "This guy is a serious pedophile," Leo growled. He stepped around me and took Piper's hand. "Daughter of Aphrodite. You are truly something, my dear. And so was your mother, which I why I chose her as the fairest." Piper smiled proudly. Then he looked at Annabeth and Hazel. "Athena and Hades," he said pointing. "Why don't you all come in, and I'll see what I can do for you."
