Bonjour!
Okay, so first of all, tthis chapter is one of my favourites! A lot of Percabeth! I'm happy with this!
And people REVIEWWWWW!
Oh, and I almost forgot again. To answer your question Warisk, nope this isn't based on anything in my life!
Ha! I wish my life was even remotely as interesting! I can't wait to go to college, I would finally get to see some cute guys! *sighhh!*
Anyway, guys PLEASE REVIEW! I have 53 followers, if all of you could drop in a review, it would be dope! (Lol)
Okay, before I bore you guys with my crazy rants, here goes!
Annabeth slipped into a dark blue silk and chiffon dress carefully, trying not to rip the delicate material. She loved the dress, it made her look exotic and the colour was just beautiful against her light skin. She slipped her hands through the soft netted sleeve and moved her hands to try and zip up the dress.
"Oof!" she grumbled angrily when she couldn't reach it. It was really difficult to do the zip. She sucked in her breath and tried a couple of more times and gave up when she still couldn't do it. She instinctively checked the time. Oh shoot! Edith would arrive in a couple of hours and Annabeth had to go help with setting up dinner and yet, here she was, still not dressed. Okay, so her hair was done in curls around her face and her eyes were just enough smokey and if the zip was done she'd be good to go.
Annabeth bit her lip in frustration and groaned when she still couldn't do it. Oh Hades! She only had one other option...
Annabeth stuck her head out of her dressing room and called to Percy to help her. She went back in and waited when she heard the door open. In stepped Percy looking extremely hot and Annabeth's heart did a complete flip.
"Wassup?" He said looking at her with his dark sea green eyes.
Annabeth licked her lip and shook her head trying to clear it. "Um, Percy. I can't quite reach my zipper, will you do it for me?" She blushed a little in the end.
Percy smiled softly and walked behind her where she stood facing the huge mirror. As if on cue their eyes met in the mirror, green to grey and time stilled as they connected. Annabeth felt her skin tingle when Percy touched her and she bit her lip. Percy slowly pulled up the zipper, his eyes never leaving her own, even as their skins met. He didn't want to look away, Annabeth was gorgeous. And he was desperately trying to resist the urge to kiss her full pink lips with passion. He reminded himself that they were friends.
"Done," he said and Annabeth looked down blushing. She'd been staring at him. How rude!
She whirled around to face him and struck a pose. "So, how do I look?" she said.
Percy frowned. "You look okay. Too much makeup," he said.
Annabeth's mouth dropped open. Oh no, she thought. "Really? I mean, I didn't do anything! Must be the cream. I don't really like makeup, you know. It is just..." she paused mid rant when she noticed Percy laughing silently.
"Oh, Wise girl! I was just kidding. I think you are gorgeous, just natural," he said.
Annabeth felt her lips curve into a small coy smile. "Well, good! Or I would have had to beaten you into submission," she joked lightly.
"There you are! Annabeth, come on!" Haley said flying into the room. She wore a hot pink dress and brushed past Percy and gripped Annabeth's hand and basically dragged her out. Annabeth turned to Percy and waved before disappearing down to the outdoor dining table.
...
Annabeth glanced at the long dining table in the garden pavilion with a satisfied smile. Everything looked perfect, even the weather was cool and the sky was starlit.
"I'm really nervous," she whispered to Percy.
Percy gave her a strange look. "Why do you care about what Edith thinks of you?" he wanted to know. Annabeth opened her mouth to reply but she quickly closed it when she saw Edith walk out. She had arrived an hour back and had come down to dinner after changing. Annabeth thought she looked pretty intimidating. Edith had her dark hair up in a tight bun and she was wearing a white armani suit and her face was twisted in a grimace like she was tired of youngsters.
Thalia and Luke immediately went to hug her. "Oh Edith!" Thalia said and did the kissing the air beside the cheek thing. Annabeth pressed her lips to keep from laughing because Thalia hated doing that. Unfortunately Edith saw her smirk and cast her a chilly glare that wiped Annabeth's smile off her face.
"You're Thalia's maid of honour?" Edith said with a raised eyebrow.
Annabeth nodded nervously and did a small bow before Edith walked away without a word. Annabeth straightened up and gave Percy a dirty glare because he was chuckling at her. "What?" she snapped.
"Did you just CURTSEY?" Percy whispered forcing a grim look but failing. Annabeth sighed and elbowed him to shut him up. She lead him over to the table where everyone was already seated and she and Percy took their seats. Rachel was talking to Edith happily, much to Annabeth's irritation.
"Celia, your gardens are not being taken care of well!" Edith grumbled as they started eating. "The grass is an inch too long!"
Beside Annabeth, Percy snorted into his glass of wine. Annabeth gave him a warning look as she reached for her own cool drink. She had decided that she'd only have soft drinks and no wine that night for fear of screwing up.
"And don't even get me started on your tulips!" Edith continued, "They are too big! And petunias, Mighty Lord!"
Annabeth shared a secret look with Percy. They were both thinking the same thing. Edith was horrid, everything like a control freak! Annabeth sighed and continued eating trying not to yawn, which was pretty difficult since Edith wouldn't stop complaining. She found fault with everything from the way the chicken was cooked to how the table mats weren't the right colour. Annabeth downed her dark cool drink ttrying to keep herself awake. Barely. She also wondered why the drink tasted weird. She shrugged and downed another glass. Three more glasses later she beagan to feel woozy and a warm feeling made its way into her gut, like it happens when she gets drunk.
DRUNK!
Somewhere in her subconscious Annabeth knew her drinks were switched for strong wine to get her drunk. But who? Heck, she didn't care as she reached for another glass. A loud giggle escaped her lips and Edith stopped complaining about the soup texture to look at Annabeth. Annabeth grinned like a Cheshire cat and waved at Edith. "Don't lemme stop your string of nonsense, Lady!" she said.
All around her, people gasped and some shot her shocked looks. Annabeth giggled again. "What? This is boring!" she whined loudly like a kid.
Percy felt his mouth drop open. Holy Hades! Annabeth was drunk, but how? He reached for her glass and sure enough it was wine. He reached out and put a warning hand on her shoulder but she shrugged it off. "This party is BORING!" she said totally poker faced.
Thalia quickly rushed over to Annabeth, but Annabeth was past listening as she stood up and stamped her foot like an insolent child. "Hey DJ!" she called to an invisible DJ. "Crank up the musiiiiic!"
Annabeth began to twist and dance to some unheard music. Thalia, Layla, Haley and Percy tried to reign her in while Cecilia and Edith were looking completely flabbergasted. "Unbelievable!" Edith kept muttering.
Meanwhile Annabeth broke free and continued dancing and singing "Shake it off!" in seriously off key and tone voice.
"Haters gonna hate hate hate!" she sang and pointed at Edith who looked about ready to pass off. Annabeth spun around shooting some whacky moves. "I'm the bomb, baby!" she screamed throwing her hands up. Percy decided then, that things were too far gone. He dived in and deftly threw an arm around her waist and pulled her away. Annabeth began to fight and kick and yell, but Thalia rushed to help. A few minutes later Percy managed to tame her and after assuring Thalia that he'd take care of Annabeth, he hauled her away from the dinner pavilion towards the villa.
"Lemme go!" she wailed and Percy sighed before setting her free.
"Promise me you won't run away!" he said seriously.
Annabeth shot him a sweet look. "Cross my heart and hope to die!" she chanted, looking so adorable that Percy couldn't help but smile.
"Right then, I trust you," he said and took her hand as he started leading her back indoor. "Annabeth, what you did was pretty crazy, you know. And absolutely fantastic!"
Annabeth was hardly listening as she hummed to herself like a kid. Percy shook his head and smiled when she started swinging their entwined hands back and forth between them. Really, Annabeth acted all mature and serious and wise wjen she was sober but in reality she was this happy, completely crazy and awesome girl.
Annabeth suddenly stopped and turned to face Percy. "Kiss me, Seaweed Brain!" she said.
...
PERCY'S POV:
"Kiss me, Seaweed Brain!" Annabeth said.
For a moment I froze. Annabeth wanted me to kiss her? I would love to do that.
Suddenly, I began to notice little things around me, like I'd been blessed super powers. I became aware of her gold hair shimmered in the moonlight and the way her lips were fresh and full and inviting. I leaned slowly, my mind in a state of complete dazeand just when I was within centimetres away from her lips I stopped. What was I doing? Annabeth was drunk, she probably doesn't know what she's doing and she wouldn't even want this. How can I just kiss her when she's so vulnerable just because she looks completely hot? And sexy!
Come to think of it, she's sugar and spice and everything nice. Not the point!
I can't kiss her, no matter how much I want this. Not like this. So I did something I would really regret, I reached out and put my palm between our lips, so Annabeth ended up kissing the inside of my palm.
"What are you doing? That's not how you kiss!" Annabeth exclaimed, her eyes widening to baby greys.
I sighed and took her hand again. "I know. But this is not the right time, Wise girl," I saod and winced when I sounded like one of those overly romantic girls.
"But why? Wait, is there something in my teeth. I shouldn't have had that spinach salad! I knew it!" Annabeth wailed and then pouted.
I laughed and kissed her hand. "No, Annabeth. Listen, when you're sober and if you still want to kiss me, then we'll do it. Agreed?"
Annabeth scowled. "I'm perfectly sober. See, I can walk!" she said attempting to break free. She hardly took two steps before she stopped and complained that the daisies were staring at her. Really!
I grinned and quickly lifted her up bridal style and carried her to our room, kicked the door open and put her down. But she wouldn't go to sleep.
"Good night," I told her hoping she'd just go to sleep. But Annabeth ignored me as she kicked of her shoes and pulled down her stocking. I looked away flushing slightly because Annabeth was trying to undress. When she began tugging on her dark blue dress I decided to cut in. I quickly grabbed her hand and made her lie down.
"Well then, sleep with me!" she insisted.
My stupid brain immediately jumped into overdrive when she said. Yeah, yeah, call me a pervert but I'm a guy with a good testosterone level and I'm bound to fantasise. Anyway, I realised what she was referring to and quickly joined her and pulled her into my arms when she finally closed her eyes. I couldn't help smiling when a few seconds later her breathing became shallow. I felt my own eyes get heavy and before zoning out I kissed Annabeth's forehead even as a small part of me hoped to kiss her for real. Coming soon, I thought and fell asleep, my arms still around Annabeth.
...
Annabeth woke up the next day when she felt like her head would split open. She groaned and her right hand immediately went to her pounding head as she wondered what had happened the previous night. Scenes of Edith and the dinner popped up in her mind and a vague memory of being drunk. But that was all. She had no idea how she made it back to bed or how...
Holy shit, somebody had undressed her and now she was wearing her strawberry pajamas and white tee. But who? She really hoped it was Thalia or one of the girls.
"Oh, good! You're up Blondie!"
Annabeth squinted and saw Percy standing the door. "Hey!" she called.
"How you feeling?" Percy said.
Annabeth clutched her hair. "I feel like there's a loud college party is going on in my head. And not in a good way!" she said.
Percy chuckled. "Well, considering how drunk you were, I'd say you deserve it!" he said.
Annabeth scowled at him. "Gee, thanks! Seriously, it was supposed to be cool drinks, someone switched it! Oh and did Thalia undress me?"
"No," Percy shook his head.
"One of the girls?"
"No, Annabeth. I did!"
Annabeth's mouth dropped to the floor. PERCY? He undressed her! Oh Hades! She was pretty sure she hadn't been wearing a bra because the dress didn't require one. And Gods, she'd been wearing a panty that reads HOT STUFF right across the butt.
Annabeth quickly looked up and saw Percy still eyeing her and that did it. She began to panic.
"Percy! Oh no! Why! Gods, why? Like, did you see anything? Wait of course you did. Right? Please say no! Hades," Annabeth ranted turning a steady shade of beet red.
"Oh! I saw quite a lot!" Percy said with a wink!
Annabeth groaned. What did he see?
