Awkward IM's Entry # 13

Travis and Katie were having a difficult time being alone. When his siblings weren't around, hers were! And when they had finally gotten away from everyone and met at his cabin for a bit of kissing, Chiron had walked in and given them both kitchen duty. Separately. It was agonizing! Finally, Travis couldn't take it. It had been weeks since he's kissed his girlfriend and it was driving him insane.

During breakfast, as he walked past her table, he leaned down and whispered in her ear:

"Broom closet in the Big House after breakfast. Be there."

Katie hurried to finish her cereal, swallowed her banana quickly, and gulped down her waffle with strawberry jam, barely chewing. She was in a hurry and her siblings knew it.

"I've got to check on my garden," she told them and rushed off to meet Travis.

All was going as planned. Travis was already there when Katie slipped silently into their meeting place. Soon enough, Travis's hands were all over her and soon they were in a full-blown make-out session.

And that's when it happened. Someone behind Travis cleared their throat. Katie jumped up surprised, still stunned from the kissing. Her eyes widened as she saw who was there. It wasn't Chiron. It was someone much worse.

"Dad?"

Katie's father looked a lot like her. He was averaged height with thinning dark hair, unlike Katie, but his facial structure was exactly like hers. His eyes. Travis could see where Katie got those beautiful eyes, although Katie's were much brighter and slightly larger. As soon as Travis saw her father, the first thing that went through his mind were their similarities. The second thing was: I am so dead.

"Dad?" Katie asked again, still in shock. "What are you doing" It wasn't until she said that that Travis realized Katie's dad wasn't actually there. It was and Iris Message.

Katie was shaking her head. "I don't get it. Mortals can't send IM's!"

Travis frowned. He turned to look at her. "Percy's mom sends them all the time!"

"She has some sort of deal worked out with Iris. I don't know why, but the goddess sure does seem to like her…"

"I wanted to surprise you," Katie's dad said, speaking for the first time. " I got Miranda to help me."

Katie was stunned.

"I guess this is a bad time?" Her dad asked. He looked from his daughter to the boy sitting next to her, shaking his head as if he couldn't believe what he just witnessed.

Katie bit her lip. "How bout I call you tonight?"

Her dad nodded.

Katie bit her lip some more and looked back and forth between her father and her boyfriend.

"Um…"

"How do I turn this thing off?" Her dad asked awkwardly.

"Wave your hand through the mist."

He followed he directions, ending the message.

"Um, Katie?" It was Travis.

"Yes?"

"Your ah, your shirt is ah, well…"

She looked down. Somehow, probably during all the kissing, her stretchy tank top had been pulled down, exposing a large portion of her bra. She bit back a curse and fixed it, glaring at Travis the entire time.

"What?"

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT BEFORE?"

Travis smiled. "You're too beautiful. You got me distracted."

Katie's eyes opened wide. "What?"

Her boyfriend blushed. "It's not like I was staring or anything…" He pulled her too him for a kiss, but to her surprise, he pulled away seconds later.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

Travis shook his head. "You look so muck like him…" he began softly.

"I feel like I'm kissing you're dad."

O.O

So. Lot to say, but I'll try to make it short. All right. As many of you out there know, high school isn't exactly easy. My grades have been dropping because I spend too much time reading or writing. Why am I telling you this? Well, it means I probably won't be able to update as much as I used to. I have three stories I'm currently working on so I will try and write quicker. Unfortunately, I have more homework now than I did in the beginning of the year and in middle school. I will update though. I refuse to abandon my stories! I am really sorry! Please forgive me! I need to study! (Speaking of which…) Also, I'm open to hearing any of your ideas, like I've said before. I probably won't use them exactly, but I might take one and modify it or something. I don't know. KAYTHANKSBYE!
