Chapter 11: Almost Finished

PERCY

There hadn't been a moment in his life where he had hated himself immensely. How could he had done this to Annabeth again? He had promised and he had failed her. Percy just felt like a monster when he locked himself in the bathroom and cried in rage. Annabeth didn't deserve what he had done. And more...she didn't deserve him. But what that piece of trash had said, he could not go unfazed.

After about 40 minutes of coming out of the bathroom, he had found her on the same spot he'd left her. Sleeping on the floor. That sight did nothing but enrage him all over again at himself. She was curled up with her knees touching her chest, her breathing staggering as if she were still sobbing in dreams. No. Percy needed to make it up for her. He would try his best to make her the happiest girl, so much that there would be no space for agony.

He had picked her up and took her to bed. And then after waking she made the first move. Percy had planned this as well but was not expecting it now. Before he could claim that she should sleep, Annabeth had taken off her navy blue bikini top. Her breasts were round and nipples erected. A beautiful sight. They were warm when he took them in his mouth and circled his tongue around one of her nipples before biting it lightly, making them hardened even more and Annabeth moan. A whole lot more when he spread her legs and pleasured her with his mouth.

Before anything else registered, he was thrusting in and out of her fast, this time without a condom-making him elate. He increased his speed and deepened his thrusts, and he could see and feel Annabeth almost at the edge.

When her hips shuttered violently and felt her clench around him, Percy moved under her and held her by the hips as both of them orgasmed. No more than a second passed before he pulled out quickly and released the rest on her thigh. He had flipped her in this position on top so his cum wouldn't penetrate her much. It was a risk. A stupid risk, but he wanted to make it up to her and she had wanted this. Percy would give it all to her.

The next morning, Percy woke with Annabeth in his arms. Like always. Her blond hair spread over his forearm, soft and radiant with the morning light catching it and making it glow. She breathed against his chest with a soft rhythm and her face was void of sadness. Good. Percy ran his hand against the curve of her hip—her bare skin warm and smooth under the touch—and thanked the Gods for surviving the night. There had been a moment, not dwelled on enough, but there it had been when he considered for a second that perhaps Annabeth was better off without him. It was a stupid thought after thinking about it because…why would he ever want to put her through that scare again and then leave her? And to consider the consequences that she would eventually come after him and kill him. No, the only way to make things better was to stay with her; make her life the happiest thing possible. He would laugh with her, cry with her, fight with her, kill with her, triumph with her…all of it, no matter what…. And of course have some nights filled with wild and crazy se—

"Percy." He looked down at her and met those two mesmerizing grey eyes.

"How did you sleep?" He asked.

"Surprisingly peaceful." She smiled and snuggled a little closer to him.

"Good, me too." After that, only the birds and waves made a sound. Annabeth closed her eyes and started tracing his chest with her fingers, at certain intervals she paused to press her lips against his skin. Percy continued to caress her hip, his other hand caressing her hair.

After a long time, Annabeth stiffened and stopped making Percy do as well.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Oh my…Percy…we didn't…" Panic resurfaced to her eyes, but not the same kind of panic she held when they were interrupted back at the cabin, on their first day of vacation.

"It's going to be okay." He tried to reassure her, but uncertainty filled his voice as he said it. Of course he didn't know if it would be okay. They had no voice in this situation.

"I am so stupid. I am so gods-damned— "

"No, you aren't. I am."

"I have as much say in this as you, yes we were both foolish, but I was the one who pushed you to not wear protection. I cannot throw at you, Percy." She stood up in the bed and rubbed at her face in frustration.

"First of all, I could have offered to wear a condom, but I didn't. That makes me more than stupid. And second of all, you wouldn't be throwing anything at me Annabeth. Yes, it is a bit early, we are just starting college and a baby is not convenient at this moment, but it's our baby. I am going to be a father."

Annabeth just looked at him. Percy honestly thought she was going to slap him or tell him to shut up, but instead her body just slumped and she laughed a little. He didn't know what to make of it though. Was a good sign? He was terrified at the thought of having a baby at 18, but if it came down to it, so be it, he would love his baby and give him or her everything he could.

"You would do that" It wasn't a question necessarily, but he heard the slight hint of question in her voice, as if she was trying to believe it.

"Annabeth, I am looking forward to a life with you and a couple of mini you and mini me babies. Heck yes, I will love the hades out of them! Just imagine when we teach them how to swim and read and tell them about all of our adventures. How we met." He couldn't stop the smile from taking over his face. Percy looked at Annabeth and she was smiling nervously with fear still lingering in her eyes. She blinked back a couple of tears and laid back down beside him.

"Who would they look like? You or me?" She asked as she returned to circle her fingers in his chest.

"You, with some beautiful grey eyes."

"C'mon, Seaweed Brain. You have better eyes than I do. And you are…handsome." She blushed a little. It was few the times she admitted that, but when she did, he couldn't help himself but tease her.

"Gods…imagine when they're in High School, they'll be the hottest. All the girls will be after Percy 2.0." They laughed out loud together.

"And our daughter will have all the boys, too." He frowned at that.

"I don't know if I'd like that. I don't want a bunch of morons after my baby Annabeth."

"Don't worry, she'll be wise enough to know who to date. Perhaps, someone that's quirky and gives you a pain in the butt sometimes, but is irrevocably smart, caring, loyal, and sweet." She climbed on top of him and kissed him. Annabeth pulled back briefly to see if he had something to say and he did.

"You look so sexy on top." He smirked and Annabeth just rolled her eyes.

"I haven't showered, Seaweed Brain. What do you say to that?"

"I don't mind since I haven't showered either. But there is a fast solution to that problem…" A smile creeped in and Annabeth's eyes widened.

"No! Don't you there Percy— "too late. He grasped her by the hips and lifted himself off the bed, holding her close so she couldn't break out of his grip. He moved towards the pool.

"Percy, I'm not kidding, put me down right now." She kept kicking so Percy carried her in bridal style to keep her from running away.

"Welcome to my world, Wise Girl. I come with the full package and the water is eager to say hello." He stood at the edge, Annabeth's body hovering above the water. She stopped kicking and instead held tight to him to evade from dropping her in the cold water. He waited three seconds before kissing her forehead and jumping buck naked in the water.

ANNABETH

She was so going to kill him. The pool's water was extremely cold, especially at that time in the morning. They broke to surface a second later and she immediately splashed water at his face. She growled in frustration when Percy started chuckling because the water did nothing to him. Annabeth pushed against his chest to let her off his grip, but he didn't. A few minutes ago, everything had melted inside of her. Her lungs had tightened, her ribs seemed to curl on themselves, and her throat seemed to go rigid before coming lose to the conclusion that Percy wanted a life with her. He wanted kids. Right now, the thought was put aside as she tried to pry Percy's hands off her.

"Let me go, Seaweed Brain." The shivering started.

"Do you feel clean enough, Wise Girl? We can go back and finish what we started."

"Nothing started, let me go, its freezing."

"I'm pretty sure something did. You were on top." He told her and thank the sea he started out of the pool.

"Shut…up." He placed her in the bed and drew some towels from the night-stand drawer. Extending her shivering hand to grasp the towel, she glared at him. She would get revenge, not now, but soon when he least expects it.

"Alright, it's 7:02AM. We have 58 minutes before our jungle tour." He climbed on the bed and pulled her against his chest.

"What are you doing?" She asked

"Warming you up." Annabeth was about to protest but then he pushed her down on the bed and threw the covers on her.

"What da—Percy!" She had no time for childish games at the very moment and was about to kick him hard in the stomach when he exposed her bottom half out of the covers and spread her thighs. This was so not a childish game.

"I need you to trust me, Wise Girl. I'll warm you up." No protesting then because as soon as he finished the sentence, his tongue was on her.

"If you pay close attention on your right, you'll hear the sounds of the St. Lucian parrots. They live in this area, feed in this area. Don't you worry, we won't disturb them. We are at a safe distance." Said the tour leader.

They were passing through a canopy of green moss leaves into the jungle beyond. Every so often she spotted tiny animals of every color and so many sounds that became music to her ears. This place was absolutely beautiful. She could have enjoyed the tour a little more if the gnats could stop bothering her. And the hunger wasn't helping. They had been riding in a long tour jeep for about 30 minutes and they were well inside the jungle to be able to stop at a vending tent. She WAS going to bring food, but they had run out of time.

"I am hungry." Annabeth complained. "Do you happened to bring a bar?" She asked Percy.

"I'm sorry, time cut me short. I even forgot to bring my camera, much less the food."

"If you just hadn't gotten into your head that it was a good idea to go down on me, an hour before our tour started. Good job, Seaweed Brain."

"Thanks, I knew you'd like it."

"That's not what I meant, Percy!"

"No?" He made a face at her as if he were confused about what she said. He wasn't, he just liked doing it to piss her off.

"Are you trying to make me smack you?"

"Annabeth…I got to say that you…are even sexier when you pretend to be mad at me."

"Gods-damned me— "

"Don't worry we're almost finished. The tour ends in 10 minutes."

"10 minutes?"

"Yep."

That was wrong. If the tour ended in 10 minutes, then why were they still going deeper in the jungle?

"But…won't that take another 40 minutes to get back?" His expression cleared and realization.

"Are we running late then or— "

"Watch out!" Yelled the man sitting across from her. Annabeth whipped her head around to see what the problem was at the same time she heard the people beside her gasp. Nothing registered and nothing could she see until the tour jeep they rode on was thrown sideways with such force that sent her flying out of the vehicle.
