Chapter 10

As the months flew by Annabeth and I were able to experience the novelty of our relationship together. Our relationship was only getting stronger as we spend as much time as we could, learning the important stuff and even the boring or inconsequential stuff.

She introduced me to her friends, officially, the Monday after we became a couple. I was nervous, but she told me not to worry about it. Turns out, they liked me for my 'awkwardness' and 'nerdiness', whatever that means. I'll try not to take that offensive. I even let Nico tag along to our lunch, as well as Hazel, which she had an obvious crush on Frank while making googly eyes at him every time she could. I learned that Annabeth's friend, Piper, was going out with the basketball jock Jason Grace. They were all seniors, but what amazed me the most was that they were all completely different from each other, and yet they were good friends.

As far as how our relationship is going, we do all the couple-y things people do. I walk her to her classes, we kiss each other goodbye, and we walk hand in hand everywhere we go. It's normal and simple, but it's still perfect.

We also do our own things. After our concert date, I made it a mission of mine to always be the one to ask Annabeth before she could, it would be the gentlemanly thing to do. We went to Museums were they showed crazy art made by crazy people, Annabeth was eating it up and I enjoyed myself as well. We also went to small concerts here and there, most were about any kind of genre, we just went to enjoy the music and how it could inspire us.

On simple days where we were busy she came to my house and worked on homework, or we would go to the diner and work there. The good thing of being together was that we eventually turned in our art projects, after all they were the catalyst to the beginning of our journey together. I would be forever grateful for that class.

Annabeth was suffering through stress from finals for the end of January. She was busy filling out scholarships to be able to afford NYU next year. I take it all in stride, supporting her and letting her have her space when she needs it. I am thinking of applying there myself so I can be there with her once I graduate, but I'm afraid to tell her, worried she might think I'm moving too fast. Honestly, before Annabeth, I didn't really think about my future too much. The furthest I got was graduating with honors. I don't understand how my geek-ness never thought as far as to where I want to go or what I want to do with my life. But now, Annabeth has opened my eyes to so many possibilities and I think that my calling is in some form of art, after all, my muse has become the most important person in my life.

"Percy? Hey are you listening to me?" Annabeth was calling me. We were sitting down on my bed. Annabeth was surrounded by textbooks and notebooks of the classes she needed to study for. I was somewhat in the same situation, but my attention was elsewhere. I noticed she was wearing her hair in a messy bun with curls of blonde, green, and purple. She was wearing the same Beatles t-shirt I first saw her with along with some black leggings. I was struck by how similar she looked to when I first noticed her and yet she looked smarter, more beautiful and my feelings were stronger than I ever thought possible.

"Sorry. What where you saying?"

"Um, well," she pauses to look at me, probably to make sure I'm still listening. "I was looking for my essay prompt and I can't find it. It's pissing me off because this essay is worth 25% of my grade and I can't find the dam prompt!" smoke was literary coming out of her ears, and her face was redder then a tomato. If senior year is going to be this stressful I think I want to skip it. Either way, she still looks beautiful.

"Annabeth, it's ok. Calm down I'll help you find it," I honestly didn't know how to calm her down but I needed to be supportive.

"Do not tell me to calm down, Percy. I need to start this essay as soon as possible!" she was glaring daggers at me. When we barely started going out that would have made me crap my pants. But now, well…it still kind of does, I can just take it like a man now.

I looked at her straight on, eye to eye, trying my best to not shrink under her gaze, "I think maybe you should take a break. All this stress isn't helping you, Annabeth," I say carefully, cautiously.

She sighs heavily, like if she can't admit defeat but is too weak to keep going. "I can't, Percy. I have so much to do," she pleads at me. Her eyes automatically losing their fierceness and turn into shimmering pools of grey. I get lost in them every time, they are too stunning for words.

"It's ok," I whisper wrapping my arm behind her back, massaging her problems away. I pull her closer to me and with my other hand, stroke her hair and her cheek. "It's ok," I whisper again and lean in to capture her lips with mine. Her mouth quickly follows, our lips made of overheated flesh as we become nonexistent to the world. Throughout the months, Annabeth and I have made out thousands of times, but it always feels like the first time when we kiss. And yet, now, I don't think it's enough.

Annabeth seems to feel the same as me because she suddenly folds her hands around my neck pulling me tighter against her warm skin. Her soft hands tugging roughly on my hair, I groan into her mouth, aroused by the feel of her completely surrounding me. My hands have a mind of their own as they freely caress her waist. I rub my fingers against her back, then to her stomach, Annabeth gasps at the feel of my fingers against her.

"It's not enough, Percy," she gasps into my mouth. I growl in agreement and pull her to straddle my lap. I then quickly start kissing her neck sucking on her skin, I skim kisses along her jaw as she moans in pleasure. This only helps to spur me on as I grab her earlobe between my lips and suck. "Oh shit!" she moans in surprise. I'm pretty sure she can feel the evidence of my excitement as she presses her warmth closer to mine, slowly grinding against me. I let out a desperate growl, letting myself feel her.

"Oh, Gods, Annabeth," I whimper out desperate to gain some kind of release. She moves deeper then, adding more pressure, her warmth right where I need her. Her mouth makes its path down my jaw, kissing, sucking, licking, and nibbling. I revel in her touch with no ounce of comprehension to my surroundings beside Annabeth. My hands encase her, making slow motions up her back, then feeling the tight curves of her waist. My fingers memorize the softness and smoothness of femininity that is my Annabeth.

"Percy," she moans at my touch and quickly follows my example by feeling my chest and my shoulders, her delicate fingers leaving my skin raging in fire. Our motions escalate, our hips moving faster and rougher as we each feel our hearts beat out of our chests. I lean my head in her neck slowly tasting her soft skin. I make my way up her lips and pull them in greedily into my mouth, sucking on them to taste their sweetness. But when the feelings become too much and I can't take it anymore, my body jolts with shocks of pleasure that makes my mind go hazy and my eyes blind with light. "Oh, Percy," Annabeth moans out into my ear as I feel her body quiver and shake above me.

Our breaths are uneven, out chests pressed against each other. I can feel her heart beating rapidly, and I'm pretty sure she can feel mine. After we come down from our high I slowly glance at her face. Her eyes are closed but she has a relaxed, almost peaceful smile. I smile in return. "You're so beautiful," I whisper reverently. She glances down at me, her grey eyes almost silver with how they glow. She smiles lazily at me and leans down to kiss me slowly.

"That was a great distraction don't you think?" she asks me, her lips curling into a smirk.

Being with her for about three months made me used to all our flirting and bantering so I don't tend to blush as much anymore, but for some reason, this statement makes me flush like a tomato. "I think it was the best," I reply shyly.

She giggles and kisses me again before getting off of me. I then realize that I have a certain situation that I need to fix. "Was it good… um I mean, you don't mind that uh-" I stutter out but she cuts me off.

"Yeah, Percy. It was more than good," she says quietly, her cheeks tinting a pretty shade of pink. Its then I realize that we are both so new at this, discovering how far we can go without pushing boundaries or feeling uncomfortable. I also realize how much she trusts me because she never gave the indication she wasn't comfortable, and I'm glad I'm here with her, exploring everything together.

"Um, I'll be back. I uh, I have to go clean up…" I say not knowing how to explain to her. My face probably still resembles a tomato but it's something that I still can't control.

"Oh," she gasps, glances quickly at my crotch, then back at me, "I understand," she states, but I feel the smile in her words and her cheeks are still a bright pink. Her response makes me smirk at her and I quickly head to the bathroom to change clothes.

When I return she is back to studying away, writing down anything important. I sit down quietly and start putting my notebooks into my backpack, cleaning up the area.

"You're done?" she asks startling from my actions.

"Um, yeah, I just have to study some notes, but my mind is too mushy right now to do anything," I admit, glancing at her. Her eyebrow lifts in surprise and she smirks at me.

"Lucky you," she replies sarcastically.

I chuckle, "Yeah, very lucky," I return salaciously. She gasps then throws a pillow in my face, halting my chuckles. She giggles at me.

"If you weren't so darn lovable, I would have thrown my textbook at you!" she exclaims still giggling. I shrug my shoulders but stay quiet.

Soon, we return back to how we were before. Annabeth working on her essay while I browse the internet. We throw glances and shy smiles at each other, both remembering our hot make out session earlier. I wouldn't mind a repeat, after all I may be a gentleman, but I am still a man, and now that we reached this part of our relationship, I admit, it's all I can think about.

But that doesn't mean I'm not content, because I very much am. I simply enjoy being with my girlfriend, watching her be herself and do everything that makes me love her so much. Because I do, and I think I always have.

"Percy, stop staring at me. I can't concentrate," she says suddenly, exasperated. I glance at her face and she looks slightly annoyed, but I know she doesn't mind.

"I think that's enough work for today," reply back, closing my laptop and situating myself closer to her.

"Really?" she inquires, her lips curling at the edges.

I nod expectantly at her, "mhm," I agree leaning in closer.

"You are such a dork," she laughs again, and I dive in kissing her because I can't seem to stop, and she complies, bringing me down to her. I 'umph' at the sudden movement but we are both too caught up in laughter to care.

Okay, so how did you guys like it? I hope it wasn't too overwhelming. Please leave your thoughts, concerns, or questions, or anything you would like for me to know.

Next chapter is going to be in Annabeth's point of view guys! Looking forward to that : )
