Annabeth:
I felt my face growing hot at the question. "No I don't have a boyfriend," I said hoping my stepmom would give up on asking questions.
"So you kissed someone you aren't dating?" Matthew asked innocently.
Dad looked at me. "Well now I'm curious!" He said.
"Well you're going to have to stay curious," I told him.
"But I'm never here! So you should tell me everything when I am here!" He said in a fake whiny voice.
"Um no I'm pretty sure that is not how it works," I said unable to keep from laughing because of the way he said it. "So how long are you going to be home this time?"
"Well I think I'm good for the summer! I was given an extra long vacation after discovering that statue of Hades/Pluto. We haven't quite figured out yet if it's roman or greek yet but I don't need to be there for that," he said and a rush of excitement surged through me. Dad was a greek and roman researcher. He was often away for months at a time helping search for lost artifacts.
I smiled before remembering what else that meant. I was going to have to be nice to my stepmom all summer! Ew!
Percy:
"Who is it?" Mom asked as soon as I walked through the door. I looked at her in confusion. "Don't play dumb every time I've seen that smile it's been because of a girl!" My cheeks turned a little red.
"There isn't one!" What there isn't!
Mom rolled her eyse at me. "Whatever just tell me if it gets serious." My cheeks went even more red. Both of my girlfriends had been serious.
"Yeah I'm not saying that they weren't serious," woops I said that out loud. "I'm just saying to tell me when this one gets serious," she continued.
"There is no this one!" I denied shaking my head, before heading upstairs to text Grover excitedly about this one.
The next day
I woke up late. Like noon. The sun was up and the light seeping through my window was blinding me. I stumbled half asleep down stairs to pour myself a bowl of Frosted Flakes. Normally I started my day with some Cinnamon Toast Crunch but I definitely needed the sugar today. Then I put on my shoes and headed out the door. Here's hoping my car is still there and wasn't stolen.
I could see my midnight blue sports car, lets just say I got really really lucky the day that I got that car, when I heard the scream. Instead of just walking the few more steps forward to my car I turned right in to the alley. Annabeth was backed up against the far wall of the dead end alley. Standing in front of her were two guys and it was obviously a robbery in progress. They were shouting at her but she didn't look like she was planning on giving anything up.
The skinny one pulled out a knife and I raced over, grabbing his wrist before it could finish plunging towards Annabeth. I'm not sure if he was more surprised that a random person showed up or if I was more surprised that I had managed to grab his wrist wothout my hand shaking. I was definitely terrified at that moment. "You might want to go before someone gets hurt!" I threatened him through clenched teeth. "And I'll give you a hint that someone will be you!"
I twisted his wrist harshly and the knife clattered to the floor. Before one of them could dove for the knife I covered it with my foot. The shorter, slightly fatter boy made a grab for Annabeth so she kicked him down low. He went down with a yelp. I threw the skinny kid to the ground as hard as I could, picked up the knife, and then both me and Annabeth ran. She followed me to my car and hopped in with me and I drove off going way over the speed limit.
"Percy," Annabeth said quitely after I stopped in the driveway of her house. "Can I go with you to your house? There's no one home and I don't want to be alone."
"Oh... um... yeah. Yeah sure!" I said. There wasn't any one home at my house either.
"You don't have to if you don't want to," she said quickly. "I can stay home if your busy or don't want me there." She continued but we were already driving away again.
"It's not a problem really! There's no one at my house either though," I told her. Annabeth just nodded and we sat in silence the rest of the way home.
When we got to the parking lot of my apartment she turned to me. "Thanks for helping me out back there," she said quitely and I had to lean forward just so I could hear her.
"Yeah you're welcome," I told her quickly hopping out of the car before the closeness made me do something stupid. I walked towards the apartment building glancing over my shoulder to make sure she was following. Then I led her quickly up to my apartment and right to the living room couch.
"Did you want anything to drink?" I asked her. Annabeth nodded. I asked her what she wanted and she asked me if I could get her a glass of orange juice.
I got the cups of orange juice and was headed to the living room when Annabeth came into the kitchen to ask me a question and ran right into me.
"Oh my gods I'm so sorry!" She said looking at my now soaked shirt.
"It's fine what did you want," I asked as I pulled my shirt off. What! It was going to get sticky and stick to me if I didn't!
"I-i-i... uh I wanted t-to ask if you knew where the remote was to the tv," she stuttered out staring.
"Oh it's in the drawer under the tv," I told her and waited amount for her to leave before grabbing a wash cloth to clean up the spill. "I'm gonna go put on a clean shirt and then I'll be right out," I said poking my head through the opening into the living room.
"Or you could just leave the shirt off," she mumbled quite enough that I'm pretty sure I wasn't meant to hear it.
"Yeah it is pretty warm in here maybe I will," I said watching her cheeks go red as she realized that I heard her. Then I walked over and plopped onto the couch next to her. "So what are you watching," I asked. Before she could answer the one character started singing. I turned to her. "Really? Disney? Starstruck? This movie stinks!"
"Have you ever seen it?" Annabeth asked.
I shook my head no, "But I did see the commercials and a few of my friends told me it was terrible," I told her.
So that was pretty much our whole day. I ordered pizza and we watched a Disney movie marathon. Not my choice but some of them were alright. Then a few hours after pizza she said she was cold and made me bring out a blanket. I probably could have sent her home by now but I was having fun. Especially when we watched a really bad one and we spent the whole movie just making fun of how bad it was.
At some point we went from sitting to laying which should have been uncomfortable because of how small the couch was but it wasn't. Annabeth was laying half on and half off me with her head resting on my shoulder. Since I was on the outside I had to be very careful not to move to much or I'd fall of the couch and wake her up. Her one arm was draped over my stomach and I was wondering how we ended up like this without me getting nervous and finding an excuse to move over. Her hair was tickling my chest and she was breathing on my neck. I couldn't even move my left arm because it wasunder her neck and I didn't want to wake her.
Sally: -Can't exactly put it in one of their views when they're sleeping and third person doesn't feel right.-
I walked through the door into my apartment. I had just got back from turning in my newest book and going over all the details of getting paid. The lights were on and I could hear the tv but it was so quite that I assumed Percy had gone out with his friends or was asleep in his bedroom. I set down the groceries I picked up on the way home and went over to turn off the tv. And was more than a little surprised to find him and Annabeth lying fast asleep on the couch. I wasn't surprised because of who it was, I knew it was going to happen someday, I was just surprised I guess.
In fact when Percy told me he was dating Rachel I had been surprised because I thought his first girlfriend was going to be Annabeth. I mean it was obvious she liked him and even if she did seem a little mean she was nice enough. Definitely nicer than his first girlfriend. That wierd friend Nico always brought with him when he came down to visit. Terra or something like that? I was glad when that ended and, coincidently, when that girl broke up with him his bad boy phase did to. I was glad to see the end of his new obsession with dark colors and motorcycles and really relieved that he wasn't wearing chains or sneaking out any more.
I walked a little closer to the couch and then, "Rahhhhhhh!" Annabeth bolted upright and screamed but Percy just opened his eyes wide and looked at me. He didn't make a sound. It was actually a little creepy.
"Oh my gods what time is it!" She asked.
"Like eleven," I said wondering what time she had to be home by.
"There's probably no one home but I should head home. Don't want to be getting home at midnight and waking everyone up," Annabeth said and forsome reason looked a little nervous at the prospect of going home.
"No!" Percy said loudly and then went a little pink with embarressment when we both looked at him. "I mean it's already eleven by the time we get you home it'll be like eleven thirty and they'll probably already be asleep and you don't want to wake everyone up," he explained hurriedly. "The couch must be comfortable enough and it'll be even better once you have it to yourself."
She didn't seem to want to go home and the first thing that popped into my head was the way Gabe had treated Percy when he wasn't out getting drunk or bossing me around. "Yeah it'll be fine," I reassured her and she seemed to relax a little.
"Alright I guess if it isn't a problem I'll stay," she smiled a little.
Those two had always been so cute together even if they hadn't actually been together. I wondered if this meant that they were actually a couple now? I hoped so cause it wouldn't be okay if my son was falling asleep with girls on him all the time without me knowing. I didn't want him growing up to be that kind of boy.
A.N. Thanks Cloe for reviews and sorry but there will be no editing because I delete chapters after posting them. I can't stand having that many docs when I never use them again.
( Edit:Sorry I just got back from a vacation and now I'm a little busy so I'll update in a few days.)
