How did this happen? Chapter 10
Disclaimer: I dont own Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
Authors Note: Okay so sorry for the cliff hanger but I think we all needed it. Anyway I hope you guys are satisfied with this chapter. Enjoy!
Annabeths parents start to speak but Annabeth speaks first,
"Dad, mom, I love Percy, and we belong together. I want to stay with him and he wants to stay with me. It would be unfair and cruel if you made me move away without him. Please?" She finishes, and starts looking nervous. I pull her into a hug, trying not to look appear really scared. I didnt want to lose her. I love her.
"Okay," Her dad simply replys, Annabeth and I look at each other in shock. "We knew this was going to be the most likely outcome when we told you. As much as I want you with us, you need to be with Percy, and Percy needs to be with you."
Annabeth runs into her dads arms and says, "Thank you dad, oh thank you so much!" He smiles and kisses her on her head. Then he speaks to me,
"But if you hurt my little girl, I swear, you wont make it to 25, understand?" I nod frantically, because frankly, I still cant speak, im too shocked. Then Annabeth runs into my arms and we kiss, break apart and rest on each others foreheads.
"You and me forever wise girl. You and me forever." I feel her smile.
Long story short, the rest of the trip was great but not as great as the day we went to the Parthenon, Annabeth spent a lot more time with her parents in the last few days cause it was probably the last time she would get good quality time with them. When I was still in Greece I talked to my mom about the whole thing. She was really overjoyed that there would be another girl living in the apartment and couldnt wait for Annabeth to arrive. When we got back, the Chases already started to pack up their belongings and loading them onto a moving truck. Two weeks later Annabeth and I were carrying boxes of her stuff to our apartment. When my mom opened the door she gave Annabeth a big hug and said,
"Oh Annabeth! Welcome to the Jackson home! I didnt know where you wanted to sleep so I prepared a bedroom for you. Is that okay?"
"Oh thank you Mrs. Jackson, but would it be too much to ask if I sleep in Percys room?" Annabeth said, sounding hopeful. I wanted for her to sleep with me too. We were boyfriend and girlfriend after all.
"Oh please thats fine! I know you and Percy wont do anything inappropriate, and you two are just so cute together! And please call me Sally, Mrs. Jackson makes me sound old." My mom replys. thank god, she said yes.
"Thanks mom, wanna go unpack now Annabeth?" I ask Annabeth. She nods yes and we head to my room. When we start unpacking I kept putting stuff in the wrong places and Annabeth started to get a little annoyed.
"Ugghh Seaweed Brain! How many times do I have to tell you! My light clothes go there! Not here!" She exclaimed.
"Sorry Annabeth, I guess im just not used to being organized." I said sheepishly. Finally, after we were unpacked, Annabeth blew a strand of hair out of her face that was just dangling there. Man she looked cute doing that. I guess I was staring at her a little too long, and she looked at me and said,
"Something on my face?"
"Umm no just your beautiful features and your amazing lips." I said, blushing quickly afterwards. She smiled at me and walked over to me. Then she placed her hand around my neck. Then she whispered,
"Well I can use my 'amazing lips' if you want to?" I didnt hesitate, I crashed my lips to hers and she kissed back. We fell onto my bed and laid on top of me still kissing. Then I heard my door open and heard my mom talk as she walked in, "Okay dinners ready, lets eat before it gets col- Well well look what we have here."
My mom was smirking as Annabeth and I tried to untangle ourselves. Then Annabeth answered, "Okay Mrs. Jackso- I mean Sally. We will be right out." My mom chuckled on her way out the door and Annabeth turned to me.
"Oh my gosh Percy that was so embarrassing!" I only smiled and pulled her into me.
"I dont mind getting caught kissing my amazing girlfriend." I smile as I say it.
"Hmm well I guess getting caught by my boyfriends mom isnt supposed to be embarrassing?" She had a point. She always does. Shes my smart Annabeth.
"True, lets go eat dinner!" I exclaim as I gesture to the door. She steps through and I follow. When we get in the kitchen I see mashed potatoes, gravy, ham, corn on the cob, and rolls. We NEVER have meals like this unless its Thanksgiving. I can tell Anabeth is shocked too cause she has the same look I have. I guess my mom notices and says,
"Well you know, I felt like Annabeth should have a proper dinner for her first night here, she needs to feel at home." My mom smiles at us, looking proud at her accomplishment.
"Sally, you didnt have to do this for me, I dont want to be a reason for you to deviate from your usual schedule." Annabeth says.
"Oh Annabeth, you are adorable, Its a pleasure to do this, and I think we needed a meal like this anyway. Its been a long time."
Annabeth nods and we sit down, I dig in right away, but I still see Annabeth hesitating a little bit. I hold a bit of a roll in my hand, and place it in front of her mouth. She eats it out of my hand and giggles. She so cute. She does the same with me except its a spoonful of mashed potatoes. My mom barely eats because shes too busy watching us eat. I lean in to kiss Annabeth and she smears mashed potatoes over my mouth.
"Nuh uh Seaweed brain" She says waving a finger, "Not during dinner, its not proper manners."
I pout try to do my best puppy dog face. Annabeth doesnt budge, "Not until after dinner. Then we shall kiss"
We continue to eat the amazing food, then my mom says, "So Annabeth, how was Greece?" My mom unleashed the Wise girl beast.
"Oh my gosh your son is the sweetest, kindest, caring boyfriend ever. He is so thoughtful and made the trip so meaningful and I loved every second of it. The architecture was also pretty good." Wait im confused, Annabeth put me as the best thing in Greece and architecture second. Man I must mean a lot to her for her to say that.
"Well thats good, im glad I raised such a caring boy and im glad you and him are together. You two are perfect for each other! I have been thinking of what name I should give you two and I came up with Percabeth!" Annabeth looked a little confused cause she obviously didnt know what to think of the new couple name we have just received.
"I like it, its a smooth name and it seems cool." I simply state, I gotta hand it to my mom, she did a good job. We finish dinner and we are about to head to the couch when I hear mt mom say,
"So when do you want to eat the cake?" What cake? I didnt know we had a cake! I like cake!
"Umm what cake mom?" I ask cautiously.
"Well the one we are eating to celebrate Annabeths birthday! Sorry we are doing it late!"
"Oh Sally! You didnt need to do that! I have received plenty of gifts, and food for my birthday!" Annabeth says looking half shocked and half excited.
"Well okay we could do cake tomorrow then, do you guys just wanna watch a movie?" She suggests. We agree and start to pick out a movie. Imlet Annabefh choose Frozen cause she hasnt seen it and it was on sale on redbox online. We reach to about the middle part then Annabeth starts to drift into sleep.
"Hey, are you sleepy? Wanna go to bed?" I ask her softly. She nods in agreement and I carry her to my room. I lay her down onto my bed and slide in next to her. She faces me and I brush away some of her stray golden curls so I can see her beautiful eyes looking up at me.
"I love you Percy. You are the best boyfriend ever. Good night." She closes her eyes and I pull her into my chest, she rests her hand on me and I put my arm around her waist and we intertwine our legs. I kiss her on the lips softly.
"Good night Annabeth. I love you. I promise no harm wIll ever come to you. You are my Wise Girl and I will protect you. Sweet dreams."
