Chapter 12
A/N: Hey guys I wasn't planning on updating right now so consider yourselves lucky! LOL just kidding, hope you enjoy the next chapter...
(RECAP) "Goodnight." He said, simply and walked backwards towards the door. He had a smirk on his face the whole while. He turned quickly as he got to the door and walked out leaving me sitting on the bed, staring at the door, my mouth wide open.
I have to say, that no matter how embarrassed I was for asking him to kiss me for a joke, it was the smartest thing I had done in a while.
Annabeth's POV
I woke up the next morning still thinking about what had happened the previous night when Percy had decided to take my joke seriously and actually kissed me goodnight. I got into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. After getting ready and throwing on a new pair of clothes, I decided to go and grab some food. It was around two thirty in the afternoon and I was starving.
Just as I was about to leave Percy's bedroom, a large bubble popped up in front of my face, startling me. Inside the bubble, Thalia, Rachel, Nico, the Stolls and Grover were all fighting for who would sit in the middle. "Guys!" I laughed, they were so immature sometimes.
"Hey Annabeth!" they all screamed together.
"We just wanted to see how everything was going," Thalia asked.
"It's going ok so far, we got here safely, visited Percy's mom, who's fine by the way, and then came to Sally's apartment to get some sleep. She should be out in a couple of days so until then, we'll be visiting every day." I smiled as my friends all nodded. "Ok so now that you know all of that, can I have a word with Grover...alone?" I asked, I knew what I had to say and I wanted to do it in person but I just couldn't wait.
"Um, sure," said Rachel, shoving the group out of the door and closing it behind her.
"So...what's up?" asked Grover, fidgeting with the bottom of his shirt.
"I have to talk to you about Percy and me. See, I feel as if we were never just friends and that there was something more between us. When I'm with him, either spending time or even kissing-"
"Annabeth, Annabeth!" he interrupted, "it's fine, I understand, you don't have to break up with me," he paused to chuckle and I wondered why but shook the thought off, "you should figure things out with Percy."
"Ok, thanks Grover. For everything," I said, lifting my arm up into the air to swipe away the Iris Message.
However, Grover quickly cut in, "And Annabeth?"
"Yeah?"
"When you remember it all, don't ever forget it. Hold on to him." He smiled and then swiped away the bubble, disconnecting the call.
I wondered what he had meant, of course I understood that he was asking me to be careful enough not to forget all my memories once I had remembered them, and I will remember, I am determined to, but I was slightly confused as to who and what he was talking about when he had told me not to let "him" go. I shook the thoughts from my head, not wanting to get another headache.
I walked into the kitchen to find Percy in his pyjama pants, without a shirt, cooking pancakes in his mother's apron, flour all over his cheeks. The sight made me want to chuckle but he turned and said, "Spying me now?"
"Don't be such a goof," I said laughing, "you have flour all over your face, Seaweed Brain."
"Seaweed Brain!" he cheered.
"What?" I asked, confused.
"Seaweed Brain? You haven't called me that since...you know? You'd forgotten that nickname for me."
"Perc-" but before I could finish, I hit fell to the ground, knocking my head on the breakfast table behind me and falling unconscious.
I awoke several times in an area that wasn't very familiar but kept falling in and out of consciousness. There was nothing I could do about it. However, every time I fell asleep, images filled my mind. Images of Percy and I, images that were recognisable for some reason. Our first kiss, our first real date, our first valentines date, everything. I was and still am Percy's girlfriend. I pieced everything together and realised that my head had it all wrong, I wasn't ever with Grover, that's why he chuckled when I tried to break up with him, that's why Percy seemed so upset at times.
I was back, I remembered everything, all I had left to do was to wake up...but that part I was finding hard.
Ok so there it is, I don't really consider that as a cliff-hanger but that's probably because I know what's going to happen :P
Anyways, hope you enjoyed that, there wasn't much to it, it was just a chapter to move the plot along. Don't forget to review!
