Chapter 12
"Do you have a crush on Callie, Percy?"
The ten year old blonde asked with a sly smile.
Percy knew she had learned that smile from Thalia. Boy, was she a great influence.
Sitting on the couch, he looked over at her, lying on the floor of the living room and gave her a weird, but amused look.
"Why would you say that?"
She shrugged with the same smug expression on her face, "She's almost always over. And you smile a whole lot more when she's around."
He smiled and leaned over to ruffle her head playfully.
"Ugh, Percy. My hair!"
Percy laughed, seeing her reaction, pout and all.
"Why would I have a crush on someone when I already have you— my adorable sister." he said cheesily, while making a kissy face at her.
"Ew, Percy. Get away from me."
"Why, come here and I'll give you a kiss."
"No! nononononono." She said running away from him.
They were soon laughing as Percy finally caught her in his arms and planted a huge slobbery kiss on her cheek.
"You're mine forever, Annie." he said in a overly happy voice.
She gave him a grossed out look, but then smiled and pecked him on the cheek.
~o00o~
Percy stared out of the glass windows of Starbucks with a grande peppermint mocha in his hands. It was raining outside, so it was nice to drink a nice hot coffee right now. It would have been even nicer if Rachel wasn't sitting in front of him, babbling on about the wedding decorations that she had finished with.
He had learned long ago the useful skill of zoning out of a conversation, while seeming to be listening. It was a very helpful skill, especially with his fiancé around.
Their wedding was to be two weeks from now and Percy was growing more hesitant about his forced decision to marry Rachel. Funny how that he wasn't at all reluctant a few days ago.
Percy sighed and sipped his coffee again. Ugh, what he would do to get away from the plastic witch sitting in front of him.
~o00o~
Annabeth was in Thalia's room, changing her clothes. It was raining outside. She loved when it rained. She and Percy used to always go outside and waterslide down the big hill in their backyard. She smiled at the memory.
Thalia had insisted that she live with her for the rest of the two months she had to be here and of course Annabeth was thankful.
Luke was still downstairs, talking to Thalia. It was pretty awkward seeing him again. Especially since he was checking her out from head to toe the moment she came downstairs.
Nevertheless, it was still nice to see her ex again. He had definitely gotten— less douchey? Annabeth couldn't think of anything else that could describe him.
In high school, he was a dick, to put it simply. Not to her, but to everybody else. He was the typical jock with the dashing good looks, like in all those high school chick flick sappy movies. And she had dated him- all because she was too naive to resist those mischievous blue eyes.
Annabeth walked back downstairs in a long sleeved shirt and some comfortable black leggings which accentuated her nicely toned legs. She pulled up her hair in a casual messy bun.
Thalia was on her way out the door as she came downstairs.
"Oh, Annabeth. I'm going out to get some groceries. Be back soon." She said at the doorway.
Annabeth nodded and waved at her.
Thalia looked at where Luke was and gave Annabeth a knowing smile before leaving.
Annabeth looked over at Luke and found him already watching her. He looked so casual sitting on the couch with his signature smile on his face.
She walked over to him and smiled.
"Does she usually trust you in her house alone?"
He chuckled, "Yeah, pretty much. But— ... I'm not alone, now am I." he said as he stood up from the couch.
"I guess not." she said with a slight smirk on her lips.
Luke was walking slowly towards her. His blue eyes full of want.
He finally reached her and leaned down his face to the crook of her neck. His mouth touched her skin and he grazed his lips along her neck. She simply stayed standing there— surprised, confused and overwhelmed by the sudden feel of his lips. It wasn't at all bad, just a somewhat cold feeling. Not warm like Percy…
Percy? Why was she thinking about him. She pushed those thoughts away.
Instead, the memories of the times she had with Luke came rushing back. Pleasure spread down her spine as his breathe came against her ear.
"I missed you." he whispered in her ear.
Oh what the heck. she thought to herself as she turned to him, wrapping her arms around his neck as she let him smash his lips to hers roughly and slam her back into the wall behind her. She was trapped in his embrace as she kissed him back just as hard. His fingers instantly found the hem of her shirt and slipped under, hungrily feeling up her bare sides and stomach. He pulled her hair out of its bun and she curled her legs around his waist, bringing him closer to her.
His hand was tightly gripping her thigh, holding her up, as he stepped away from the wall with her still straddling his waist and carried her up the stairs.
Oh Shit, she thought as Luke carried her to one of the bedrooms upstairs, leaving items of clothing behind them one by one.
~o00o~
Thalia walked into the house and put down the groceries on the kitchen counter.
She was about to call for Annabeth and Luke when she saw her shirt lying on the bottom of the stairs. As Thalia walked up, a bra, Luke's shirt, and a pair of leggings followed.
Oh gods, Thalia thought, they better not have done it in my room.
As she towards the guest room where the door was open, she looked in and smirked at the scene of Annabeth lying halfway on top of Luke— both butt naked. They were both tangled under the covers.
She wasn't mad. On the contrary, she was satisfied and very much amused. It was in her grand favor to Luke that she had left the two alone. They were the perfect couple, really, and she had been determined into bringing Annabeth together with Luke— but, who knew it would be that easy.
Mission Accomplished, she thought to herself as she closed the door and made her way back downstairs.
~o00o~
Annabeth woke up on top of a guy's chest. She sat up quietly as to not wake him. Looking out the window she saw that it was in the evening.
She looked down at the blonde haired man in her bed and sighed, remembering what had happened.
Annabeth really didn't know what to think of it— she just had sex with Luke.
What was the matter with her?
She must still have feelings for the guy.
Annabeth put on a college sweater and pair of grey leggings. She walked downstairs while pulling her hair up in a high pony tail— her curls tickling the back of her neck.
She found Thalia watching TV while lying on her couch with a bowl of popcorn and a glass of wine sitting on top of the coffee table.
"When did you come back?" She asked her.
Thalia looked up at her.
"In time to see you both naked in bed." Her eyebrow was raised and she was smirking.
Annabeth gave her a guilty expression, blushing like crazy. Seeing her reaction, Thalia laughed.
"Don't worry, Annabeth, it's fine. But just for future notice, try to not leave your clothing lying everywhere." She said chuckling.
"Oops." Annabeth said, smiling.
She suddenly felt two arms hugging her from behind.
"Hey beautiful." the person behind her whispered in her ear.
Luke seemed to think that they were together now, so Annabeth just went with it.
She turned her head around and smiled as she reached for his face and kissed his lips.
"Ugh, guys. Really? In my living room?" Thalia said.
Annabeth laughed on Luke's lips as she started dragging him upstairs again.
