ON WITH THE CHAPTER
Annabeth's pov
I snuggled into someones chest. The warmth consumed me. I felt someone stroking my hair. I opened my eyes to see who it is. To my surprise it was Percy.
"Good morning, Wise girl." He said. He gave me his adorable goofy lop-sided grin. My mouth broke into a smile.
"Hey." I said my voice hoarse. I snuggled into his chest more and felt his arms tighten even more.
"Come on, Annabeth! You can't go back to sleep." He said. I just snuggled more into his arms.
"But this is so cozy! Five more minutes." I pleaded. The warmth disappeared as he moved away.
"Your no fun!" I pouted.
"Well, I don't have to be fun now do I? Come on, I don't want to be late!" He said. I turned away from him and snuggled in the blankets. I felt a tug on my leg and looked back.
"Percy! What are you doing?!" I asked. He did a big pull that got me out of bed. He laughed.
"Getting you out of bed." He said. I stood up and tried to climb back into bed, when I felt someone pulling me back by the waist.
"Nooooo!" I whined. He laughed and lifted me off the ground and spun me. We laughed when he set me down. I turned around, so I was facing him. I smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Than, I tackled him to the ground.
"Don't ever wake me up before 9:00 on the weekends!" I threatened. He laughed.
"Hmmm! Got it! Now come on! We got to go!" I got off of him and sent him out to make breakfast as I changed. Then, we would switch later. I would finish breakfast while he changed.
We got to the Jackson house around 12:00. Sally and Paul lived on the outskirts of New York, meaning there was still plant life around and it was not all buildings.
We knocked on the door. Sally stood in the door way with a huge smile on her face. She pulled me into a hug immediately.
"Oh, Annabeth, I haven't seen you in ages! How are you? How is your classes? Is Percy treating you right?" She asked me.
"Sally, I've missed you! I'm perfect, my classes are great, and Percy is the perfect gentlemen!" I pulled out of the hug and gave Percy a kiss on the cheek.
Sally looked between us and smiled, "I knew you guys would end up together!" She pulled us into a hug.
"Well actually-" I interrupted Percy.
"Yeah, Percy and I have been dating for about a month now." I said. She pulled away from our hug. I intertwined Percy's hand and mine. We glanced at each other. His eyes seemed to say, what are you doing? I gave him a look that said, later.
We walked in, hand and hand, to find Paul on the couch. He got up once he saw me and pulled me into a hug. "Annabeth, I haven't seen you sense Percy was in sixth grade! How are you doing?" He asked me.
"I'm great, how are you?"
"Wonderful!"
"Nice to see you too, dad." Percy said sarcastically.
"Hey, Perce! Wait a minute you guys dating?" He asked. I saw Percy roll his eyes, but he was smiling.
"Yep!" I said.
"You know, Annabeth, every time I talked to Percy on the phone, he was gushing over a certain grey eyed girl." Paul said. I looked at Percy.
"Really?" I asked. Percy blushed a deep red.
"Yep!" Sally said from the kitchen. She peeked her head in the living room. "To both of us, actually."
I looked over at Percy again. To my surprise, he was blushing harder. I kissed him on the cheek and walked over to help Sally in the kitchen.
Percy's pov
"Ugh, we are never doing this again!" Annabeth complained. We just got back from Black Friday shopping and it was a nightmare. That means it's was our last night here and were going back to our dorm tomorrow.
"It was your idea!" I said.
"Potato, tomato." She said.
"Hey, you wanna go somewhere?" I said spontaneously.
"Where? And why?" She asked confused.
"It's a surprise! And I don't feel like going home and I'm bored." I said.
"Ok, fine. I guess." She said.
A hour later, Annabeth and I were hiking up to my most favorite spots in the world. I brushed away the last branch that would reveal my surprise. Annabeth gasped as she saw.
"Oh my gods, Percy! We haven't been here together in ages!" She gave me a hug and pulled away to take it all in.
The place was secluded deep in the forest. It was a little pond that had a huge willow tree close to the water. It was so beautiful. Annabeth and I stumbled upon it when we were in third grade. We were at an Easter Egg hunt when we went to far in the woods and discovered this place. We called it The Willow Pond.
"Well, you haven't, I have." I said. I grabbed her hand and pulled her to the tree. We sat down.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Well, I come down here to think and all. Especially when Rachel and I broke up. I was kinda broken up about it and all. I would think of how I could change things to prevent it." I said.
"Percy, you don't have to talk about it." She protested.
"No, it's ok. It was Valentine's Day and I was planning something special. I told her to meet me at the bench in front of our school. I arrived on time in a suit, with flowers in my hand. She was siting on the bench making out with Octavian. She knew I would be there and she did it anyways. She looked at e and smirked, then continued to make out with him. I through the flowers on the ground, stepped in them and drove here. I must have cried for hours." By the time I was done, tears were streaming down my face. Annabeth wrapped her arms around me. She held me until I stopped crying. She pulled away.
"Do you still love her?" She asked, worry in her eyes and fear in her voice.
"No. Rachel and me would have never worked out." I said strongly. She smirked at me.
"Rachel and I." She corrected. I laughed.
I gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. She wiped my tears away. Then, I cupped her hand in my cheek and stared into her beautiful eyes. I looked at her. We've gone through so much together! She was there for me through thick and thin. Even when we were fighting she was there for me. Like that one day..
FLASHBACK
It was sophomore year and I had just broken up with another girl for Luke's Challenges. I was pretty broken up about it. I had broken another girl's heart and she was a really great girl .I would've been her friend if I didn't have to break her heart. Also, girls wouldn't get close to me any more. They labeled me as a player. I was at Willow Pond, in the exact spot I am right now, bawling my eyes out.
"Percy? What are you doing here?!" Annabeth said. I looked up and wiped away my tears.
"Nothing." I answered.
"No, it's not nothing. Why were you crying?" She asked. I couldn't resist to tell my ex-best friend what had happened, including Luke's Challenges. This was when Annabeth started appealing to a lot of boys at school, including me. She was prettier then she was. Grown up. Done with puberty for sure. After I was down explaining she looked at me.
"What have you gotten yourself into? This would of never happened if we were still friends!" She said.
"Hey, I said I was sorry. And, are you trying to make me feel worse than I feel?" Guilt spread across her face.
"Oh, sorry." I put my head in my hands. Annabeth sat down and put a hand on my shoulder
"Hey." She said softly, "It's alright, Seaweed brain. Luke is stupid and he shouldn't make you do these challenges. We are only sixteen after all. And the girls who don't get to know you before they judge, are not worth it. They can't see the awesome, loyal, funny, and adorably person you are!" She said. I picked my head up and smiled at her.
"Thank you, Wise girl. I've missed you." I said. She smiled back.
"I've missed you, too." I wrapped an arm around her shoulder. She put her head on my chest and snuggled in.
FLASHBACK OVER
That was one of my favorite memories with Annabeth. Even though we haven't talk to each other in years, she was still there for me. We set aside the arguing we did and had a beautiful moment. Annabeth is probably the smartest, funniest, cutest, and most beautiful girl I ever met. She's trustworthy and loyal, and also playful and childish. She's probably the best thing that has ever happened to me! And I will be there for her through every thing, no matter what, I'll do anything for her, and be there for her, I'll be there to cheer her up, and make her laugh and I love-. Wait a minute, I love her. I love Annabeth! Wow, it took me along time to figure that out.
I snapped out of my thoughts when I noticed our heads were together. I could feel her breath on my cheek. I wanted to lean in and kiss her so badly! But I didn't want to confuse her like I did last time. I don't want to hurt her.
I looked into her eyes. She smiled. I crashed my lips into hers.
Hehe, another cliffhanger. I'm so evil! Perabeth's first kiss! Yay! I had so much fun writing this chapter! I seriously hate Rachel so much right now. Like, why would she cheat on him? Evil bitch. And Luke's a dick. Maybe I'll have them end up together! And gods, it took Percy so long to figure out that he loved Annabeth!
Well, that's it! I'll see you guys next time! Bye!
