I am looking into my dad's eyes . He looks dead serious ( no surprise ) and is looking at me with no emotion . This is the look he gives me when I ask about mom . I am getting freaked out when he doesn't say anything . It's like I did something wrong . Unless you count kissing a girl aka The official Queen of Greece full on the lip when you're suppose to keep her safe . Other than that , I didn't do anything . Dad watched me as if I was his prey .
"What happened ?" he asked , suddenly out of the blue . I was taken aback and I was caught off guard .
"What ?" I asked . I blinked a few times as my dad shook his head .
"How did this happen ?" he asked . I ran a hand down my face and inhaled deeply .
"We ... I don't know , dad . It's not explainable " I said , lastly. My dad nodded slowly and a few chuckles escaped his mouth. I was still confused. He's not mad ? Not that I'm complaining but how can that be ? He's supposed to be mad and angry at me .
"Son , you are a lot like me. When I met your mother , I was like you. I felt the urge to hold her tight ans kiss her. I can approve of your relationship . But I'd doubt Athena would do the same." said my dad , solemnly .I nodded understandingly. Yeah , I would be pissed too if I saw my daughter kissing someone I never met before. Much less a client . A royal one too.
"I understand , dad . Thank you ." I said , looking up at him and smiling. We walked to the discussion room .
As soon as we walked through the doors ,I was met by angry glares sent from Athena , apologetic smiles from Annabeth and confused looks from my buddies and the Hunters. We walked to the table and sat on the remaining seats. I lowered my head in shame , not wanting to meet my friends gaze or Athena's . Or even Annabeth's . She hid her expression so well which must be easy for her because she has had a lot of practicing .
"As you all know , we are here to ~" my dad started to say but was interrupted.
" Banish this man from Greece !" That sudden outburst from Athena left us all shock as we looked at her . She was standing up and pointing an accusing finger at me. Annabeth told her mother to sit down but the older woman didn't. Annabeth tried again and tried to pull her mother down but the latter merely slapped the hand away. Annabeth was pissed.
"Sit down !" Annabeth was standing up , her expression fierce. The sky responded by rumbling as if it agreed with her. But I only heard half of the sky actually. If you don't understand ,then never mind. Athena's face was beyond imaginable. I could laugh but I was still afraid.
"Do not tell me what to do !" Athena snapped at Annabeth . Ah , now I hear the other half of the sky. It rumbled too. Annabeth's eyes were wide and her grey orbs were stormier than ever. Athena was glaring at her.
"I can do so ! Now , sit down. Stop being immoral , mother ." Annabeth reasoned.
"I am your mother , I can do what I want. You call me being immoral , then what about you. You're sucking faces off a person of a lower standard!" said Athena angrily. I don't know who was scarier, Athena or Annabeth . The thunder rumbled continuously.
"I am your queen and I suggest you sit down before I become impatient ." said Annabeth , her expression emotionless. Athena's eyes were as wide as saucers. The thunder quietened .
"You wouldn't" she trailed off.
"I would if I had to " said Annabeth. After that long argument, Athena and Annabeth sat down. The Hunters and my buddies were quiet as if they knew that Annabeth should not be disturbed right now. Even I was sort of afraid of her.
I sat down after my mother. I was still pissed. How dare she called Percy a man of a lower standard. I don't win in arguments with my mother but uck seemed to be on my side. I thought she agreed on Percy and I's relationship.
