Chp 10
Leo's POV
I got up early again, despit having watched movies till three in the morning after the others all crashed at around midnight. I was eating some chocolate for breakfast when they all started to come in. Piper sighed at me. "Eating chocolate for breakfast isn't healthy." She said, in her motherly way.
I stuck my tongue out and finished the slab. They all had eggs on toast, which Hazel made, and orange juice. Annabeth and Percy stood up, and I was surprised to see her in some shorts and a loose, see through ish top. She had her hair in a messy bun and sunglasses on her head.
"We're going to be on the beach." She said, their fingers laced. Percy grabbed his sunglasses and they gave a little wave before going off. "Love birds." I muttered under my breath. The rest chuckled. "Leave them Leo." Hazel said, smiling.
Piper finished her breakfast and went out the kitchen, looking through the big double doors leading onto the beach. "Oh my gods!" She said, gaping at the door. "Annabeth's wearing a bikini!" She said.
For some reason, we were all compelled to have a look. I guess because it was so rare to see her in even a dress, that a bikin was way out the picture. She was wearing a light blue bikini, her shorts on but her top off on her towel.
She had a really good figure, and was nice and tanned. She threw her head back, laughing at something Percy said. If I wasn't so scared of her and if I didn't have respect for her or Percy, I would say she was really hot. Oh well.
Percys POV
I chuckled as she threw her head back laughing. I wrapped an arm around her waist, kissing her cheek. "I still can't believe you don't mind wearing a bikini yet hate dresses!" I said, throwing my hands up. "What? I want to get my tan back, so I don't look sickly pale." She said.
I decided not to question it, my inner teenager guy coming out as I liked seeing her in a bikini. I shook those thoughts away and lay on our towels for a bit. I liked watching her read, the concentration and thought in her eyes and in her face. It made her look older than she was.
Yet it made her look even more beautiful, if that was possible. A strand of hair fell into her face, but she blew it away. Sensing my eyes on her, she looked up from her book and gave me a smile. "Sorry, it's interesting to watch you reading." I said, blushing a little.
She chuckled. "How?" She asked, putting the book down and looking up at me, as I was on my stomach and she was on her back. "Your concentration, the way it makes you look so much older. But even more beautiful." I said.
She blushed a little, smiling to her self. I could sense her denying that she was beautiful inwardly. She looked away, but I cupped her cheek and moved her face gently to look at me. "Hey." I said, chuckling at her.
"You're beautiful, don't forget that." She shook her head, reaching for her book. "I'm serious." I said, drawing her eyes back to mine. "I don't know how I got so lucky." She bit her lip, making me feel thirteen again.
"You're not just saying that, are you?" She said, making me chuckle. "Do I look like I'm just saying that?" I joked, making her laugh. I leaned down, kissing her. She returned it, her thumb lightly brushing my cheek. We pulled away for a second, our noses and foreheads still touching. "I love you Percy, more than you can ever imagine."
I smiled, and kissed her again. We pulled away and she went back to her book, and I watched the clouds above for a bit. "I'm gonna get something to drink. You want anything?" I asked Annabeth. She thought for a a moment. "Water please." She said, smiling at me. I leaned down, kissing her. She pulled lightly brushed her hand against my cheek. "Be right back." I mumbled on her lips, got up and went inside.
I walked inside the big open doors, walking towards the kitchen that connected with the lounge. "Mr Jackson, enjoying your girlfriends clothing choice?" I heard an all too familiar Leo ask, practically seeing his smirk in my mind.
I turned and saw the rest of the them through a pillows at him. "Hey!" He said, most of them hitting his face. "Leo!" Piper said, making Hazel blush like mad. "Not like you weren't thinking the same thing!" He protested. I felt all their eyes on me as a smirk came onto my face. I felt two pillows hitting me, and the guys laughing.
"Hey, she's my girlfriend!" I protested, giving them their pillows back. "Sorry Hazel." I said, tapping her knee. Frank chuckled at Hazel. We looked to the doors as Annabeth came in. "Bathroom quick." She said, kissing my cheek then going down the corridor. I smiled after her. I went to go get our drinks.
"So what's happening after our break?" Piper asked, as I sat and waited in the lounge with them. "What do you mean?" I asked, putting the glasses down. Piper looked to her hands before looking up. "Did Annabeth say anything about going back to San Francisco?" She asked.
I felt my heart ache a little. "Um, we haven't talked about it." I said, clearing my throat. Annabeth came in, smiling at us. I stood up, smiling at her. "You guys know where we are." I said, then we left. We sipped our drinks as we lay on the warm sand.
I stood up, out stretching my hand, and said, "Let's swim now!" She chuckled and took it, pulling off her shorts. I grabbed her and around the waist from behind and ran with her to the water, her laughing and insisting for me to put her down.
I let her down and splashed her with water. "Percy!" She said, a wide smile on her face. She came running after me, splashing me with water. We were both soaked, our hair dripping. She was a couple steps away, knee deep in water. She couldn't have looked more beautiful.
Water was dripping from her hair, she was smiling at me with her dazzling white teeth and her grey eyes shone with happiness. I took the couple steps forward, and slung my arms around her waist. "How did I get so lucky?" I asked, and she wrapped her arms around my neck.
I leaned down, and kissed her. I lifted her off the sea bed a little. She smiled into the kiss, kissing me back with an open mouthed kiss. She pulled away and cupped my cheek, rubbing her thumb on it. "I ask myself the same thing." She said, smiling up at me. I smiled and kissed her again.
A wave came up, crashing over us. We surfaced, laughing our heads off. "And there goes the romantic mood." She said, laughing as we lay in the shallow water. I pulled her close to me, still lying in the water. I kissed her, and said, "It couldn't have been better."
We got out, her ringing her hair and we dried already. She tied up her wet hair and we went inside. It was already half one. "You guys are just in time for my original nachos." Leo said, and said something in Spanish. "This is really good." Jason said, wiping the sides of his mouth with a serviette.
Annabeth and Hazel washed the plates. "I'm nearly done my book so I'll see you guys when I'm finished." Annabeth said, gave me a peck and went to her room. I ended up spending my afternoon napping. But I still bothered about the events that will follow the end of our mini vacation.
