Chp 10
Percy's POV
I joined my mom and Paul in the kitchen. I was happy to be going back to school in a few days, being bored in my room for the first time ever. Mom looked up and smiled.
"Annabeth's is going to be here soon." She said. I grinned, feeling my heart race in my chest just at the thought if having her in my arms again.
Paul smirked and exchanged a look with mom. "You two didn't by chance get together without telling us, did you?" He asked, smiling. I was going to deny it but come on, I couldn't push away the smile that came onto my face knowing we were together.
"Yes, we're together." I said, leaning against the cupboard and sighing with a smile. Mom clapped excitedly and Paul chuckled. "That is so exciting! When did it happen?" She asked, leaning forward to get the details.
I laughed, shoving my hands in my pockets and saying, "Mom, really?" She just sighed and said, "I'll just have to ask her for the details." I shook my head smiling, knowing my mom would go to all ends to find out.
The front door bell sounded and I sprinted to the door. I opened it and smiled down at Annabeth. She wore one of my hoodies, black skinny jeans and vans with her hair in a braid down her back.
I cupped her cheek and she tilted her head up to kiss me. I pulled her into a hug and let her in. Mom and Paul came out the kitchen to greet her. "We'll be in the lounge." I said, puling Annabeth in that direction.
She laughed and I pulled her onto the couch with me. She sat in my lap, with her side pressed to my chest and she played with our fingers. "How was school?" I asked. She shrugged. "Same I guess. It was just a long day." She said.
We sat like that for a while till I said, "So I'm coming back to school next week." Her face lit up in a smile and she said, "Yay!"
We were interrupted with the pizza arriving. We all settled down and chowed the food. Soon I was in my room and lying in my bed with Annabeth. She was in my side, her body pressed to mine as we stared at the ceiling.
How did life get any better? Does it get better? I pulled aside any thoughts that would stress me out and replaced them with things that made me have to think that involved the little things.
How was I controlling myself from kissing Annabeth? How was I keeping down my self control with her body pressed to mine? Does she know she attacks my body with the smallest gestures?
I pressed a gentle kiss to the side of her head and she fluttered her eyes up to mine. "What?" She asked softly, a mall smile on her face. I shook my head. "Just thinking about you." I said.
She smiled and cupped my cheek, pull my face down to hers to press her lips to mine. I wanted to pull her closer, if possible. To kiss her so that my body aches from the ways she was attacking my nervous system.
I was about to deepen it but she pulled her soft lips away from mine. I opened my eyes to be met by hers. "I don't want to go home." She whispered. "I want to stay here. With you." She said.
I found myself planting my lips on hers again, wanting to push away all her worries. I parted my lips and kissed her again. Pulling away gently, I said, "Then stay here. With me." She nodded and buried her head in my chest. I pulled the cover over us and let her soft breathing lull me to sleep.
