I'm back! Again, thanks so much for all your ideas! They're awesome!
Keep 'em coming!
Enjoy :)
Audrey was awake long before she'd like. At first, she thought she was back in her room, but she felt a chill.
It took her a moment to remember in her groggy state, but slowly it came back to her.
Yeah, now she remembered. They had finally kissed again. And kissed. And kissed some more. And a bit more of the kissing.
But then she remembered listening to her iPod, and Percy playing with her hair again, and then...well, that must have been when she dozed off.
Audrey still wasn't completely dry, which told her she had woken up way too early. The sun wasn't even up yet.
Although...that might be because he's still with my mom...Hmmm...Oh, Gods, ewwww!!
Audrey scooched a little closer to Percy, who was snoring away. Her own personal method to clear her head.
Not only did the snoring distract her, but so did his smell. It was a really, really, really good smell.
Maybe it's Axe or something...I've gotta ask him one of these days...
But not right now. Right now she wanted to go back to sleep.
FIVE HOURS LATER...
"And then I went back to sleep, woke up later, swam a little, and here I am," Audrey concluded.
Annabeth, Allie, and Sophie were motionless on Sophie's bed, eyes wide as saucers.
Finally, they erupted in a chorus of "Awwwwwwww!!"'s.
Audrey turned about five shades of red in under forty seconds. Amazing.
"That is sooo romantic," Allie said dreamily.
Annabeth smirked. "It's about time, huh?"
Everyone nodded, and Audrey waved them off.
"...So...is he a good kisser?" Allie asked curiously.
Audrey stared blankly at her, as if those words weren't in her vocabulary. "Um...wait, what?"
"Is. He. A good kisser? Simple question."
"Who, Percy?"
"No, Bob Saget," Sophie interrupted sarcastically.
Audrey threw up a hand. "Ask Annabeth! Ya'll dated, right?"
Annabeth crossed her arms. "Well, yeah, but...what if he's gotten even better since then?"
Audrey stared at her, hand still frozen in the air. "....You're serious. All of you?"
Everyone nodded. "...You really wanna know? About Percy's kissing skills? Really."
They nodded eagerly.
Audrey sighed, tracing the patterns on Sophie's comforter. "Well...w-well, um...well, you see...uhhhmmm...well, he has this thing where he- eerrr..." She stuttered, hoping if she took a long time to say it, they'd give up interest.
"JUST SPIT IT OUT!!" They shouted, making her jump. She was pretty sure some birds had flown off a wall down below in direct response.
"Alright, alright! On a scale of one to ten, he's...he's probably about a...10. 5. Maybe eleven. Hell, I dunno, it's high up there."
Annabeth snapped her fingers. "Crap, he HAS improved. So not fair!"
Allie sighed dramatically. "Audrey, Audrey, Audrey. How do you land all the good ones?"
"I honestly don't know," she replied pleasantly.
Sophie grinned mischievously. "So, Audrey. You mentioned a...thing? What is this thing he does?"
Audrey turned so red that her hair looked dull in comparison. "N-Nothing, really."
Allie gave her a look. "C'mon, Aud. You might as well tell us. We'll get it out of you eventually."
She crossed her arms defiantly.
Sophie sighed. "I didn't want to do this. MOOOOMM?!" She called out.
Audrey's eyes widened. "You wouldn't!"
"I would."
"Yes, Sophie?" Donna shouted from down below.
"Alright, fine!!" Audrey said weakly, and Sophie smiled triumphantly. "NEVERMIIIIIINNNDD!!"
"OKAAYYY!!!"
Annabeth giggled at Audrey's face.
"So, do tell. This thing he does."
"Well, umm...he, uh-"
"You're not gonna do THAT again, are you?" Allie asked dully.
"Sorry," she said with a nervous laugh. "What he, uh, does is...he, uh, well..sometimes we'll be kissing and he sort of...well, it's kind of like nibbling my upper lip...It's hard to explain, but Gods, it makes me weak in the knees," she said with a sigh of defeat.
They all erupted into giggles, and finally, Allie sighed. "....I'm soooo jealous!!!"
Audrey sighed. "Hence why I didn't want to tell you!"
Sophie just started laughing again, and they all looked at her. "...What?"
She stopped laughing long enough to wave Audrey off. "Oh, nothing, I just...I think Sky gave him that trick as advice!"
Audrey turned even redder, but couldn't help but laugh with everyone else. "Sophie?"
"Yes?"
"Remind me to thank Sky later."
"Of course."
THREE HOURS LATER...
Audrey couldn't help it; as soon as he pulled the trick again, she pulled away due to laughing so hard.
He grinned at her. "What?"
She waved him off, trying to stop the giggles. "Nothing, nothing, I just, um...thought of something funny."
Percy gave her The Look, the one that always made her crack, and she smiled again.
"Have you thanked Sky yet?"
"...For what?" He asked suspiciously, his look suggesting he knew what she meant.
Audrey's smile grew. "Your, uh...little 'trick' there. The upper-lip thing."
Percy laughed. "Oh, that. Trust me, I thanked him the day he told me about it."
He waggled his eyebrows. "What, does it turn you on?"
Audrey laughed. "....Actually, a little bit, yes."
He put an arm around her shoulder, and she inched a little closer. "Does my knowing about the trick, and admitting it turns me on, turn you on?"
He just gave her a suggestive grin and kissed her again.
