Jelly
Cooking jelly should be easy, right?
Annabeth's POV:
"Hey, I'm starving, can we eat something?" Percy asked me
"You're always starving, Seaweed Brain" I said, almost laughing
Percy and I were both watching T.V. on the sofa. Sally and Paul were at some dinner Paul's work had organized, so as Percy felt alone, guess who came to the rescue?
"Come on, Annabeth! It's time for dinner!"
"Well," I sighted "what do you want? We can order a pizza"
"No, I had pizza for lunch today"
"Then what do you want?"
"I don't know… Mac & Cheese?"
"I'm in"
"Great. We've cheese, but I think we don't have macaroni"
"Then how are we supposed to eat it?"
"You're the daughter of Athena, you tell me" he said and I rolled my eyes
"Very funny"
"I can cook something if you want" he said
"Percy, you don't know how to cook" I giggled
"Hey I know how to cook some things!"
"Oh, yeah? Enlighten me then: what can you cook?"
"I know how to make jelly; I know how to… err… I make a delicious jelly"
"Please Percy" I said, standing up from the sofa and making my way to the kitchen
"It's true," he followed me "I promise you I can make you the best jelly ever"
"We can't eat jelly for dinner, Seaweed Brain"
"Why not?"
"Because"
"That doesn't count as an answer"
"Yes it does"
"Come on, I swear, you won't regret eating my jelly"
"Why are you obsessed about eating jelly?" he was really getting on my nerves
"Cause now that I said 'jelly' many times, I got tempted to eat it"
"You're hopeless" I laughed
"Is that a yes?"
"If I don't like your jelly," I said, putting my hand on his chest "you'll be in serious trouble"
He laughed, and I kissed his cheek. Then, I went to the living room again, after realizing we had left the T.V. on. I was about to press the 'Off' button, but something on the news caught my attention. It was some car accident just a street before reaching the Empire State. Fortunately, nobody had died, but one of the man's face seemed familiar. I looked at him carefully for a few minutes, realizing the war good had just crashed a car.
"Pathetic" I muttered under my breath
I turned off the T.V. and went back to the kitchen. Percy was just putting the jelly in the refrigerator.
"You've already done it?"
"Yes"
"Congratulations, you did it pretty fast"
"Hey, it's jelly, not spaghetti"
"You're right. Then, how long do we have to wait?" I said and sat on one of the chairs
"Uhh… between two and four hours" Percy sat with me
"What?!"
"Don't blame me; you were the one who wanted to eat jelly"
"You wanted to eat jelly; I wanted to order a pizza!"
"What's the matter with waiting?"
"That I would be gone by then!"
"Then why did you suggest eating jelly?"
"You suggested…! Wait a minute you're doing this to tease me, right?"
"You don't know how funny it is when you are angry about silly things" he started laughing
"You know what? Next time you call me because you feel alone I won't come"
"We both know that's not gonna happen"
"This discussion isn't going anywhere"
"Then why did you start discussing?"
"You started!"
At that moment, the phone rang. Percy took it.
"Hello? Hi Mr. Peterson" he said referring to the doorman "Thanks, I'll be right there"
"Did something happened?" I asked when he hung up
"Nothing. Just the pizza"
"What?" I was extremely confused, and I hated it
"The delivery boy is here. That's how they bring you the pizza" he took the keys from the table
"But… I thought…"
"You look pretty when you are confused" he smiled "Look, I ordered the pizza before you came"
"And what about the jelly?" I was still confused
"I did make it, but for dessert"
"But… why…?"
"I just like messing with you." he gave me a peck on the lips and grabbed the keys "Get two plates and I will bring the pizza. Oh, and I ordered it with extra olives"
I smiled. He knew it was my favorite. He went down, closing the door behind him. As he had asked me, I grabbed two plates, and also two glasses and blue coke.
'I should probably take revenge about the whole jelly thing' said a voice in my head
'Nah, it was actually pretty funny' another voice said
When Percy came back we ate the pizza while chatting and joking around. After that, for dessert, we ate the worst jelly ever.
