Chapter 21
4 Days Later
Percy's POV
I walked the others to the university building. I had my fingers intertwined with Annabeth's. "So what you going to do while we're sitting in lecture rooms?" Annabeth asked, a bit of amusement in her voice. I shrugged. "I have absolutely no idea." I said. They all chuckled and we carried on walking.
When we got to the building I turned to Annabeth. "Do you have to study today?" I asked. She raised an eyebrow and smirked at me. "Do you have to be so annoying?" I stuck my tongue out at her and she returned it. I laughed and put my hand on the small of her back. I kissed her and she kissed me back.
"Oh Perseus. This isn't the way I was looking forward to seeing you again." A voice said from behind me. I turned around and saw Annabeth's dad standing there, a bit flushed. I blushed and straightened my composure. "Hello Mr. Chase. Its lovely to see you again sir." He smiled at me and said, "I will meet you around the corner when you are , uh, finished." He said, before turning and walking down the pavement and turning the corner.
I face palmed and turned to the others who were trying to contain their laughter. I looked at Annabeth. "Why didn't you tell me he was meeting with me today!" I asked. She smiled. "Because its fun seeing you freak out." She said. The others chuckled. "I haven't seen him since I was 16! He's going to think I'm the weird kid who now wants to marry his daughter!" I said.
She chuckled and kissed my cheek. "Don't keep my dad waiting. I will see you later." I gave her a forced smile and nervously walked to her father. He was sitting on a bench waiting for me. "I'm sorry sir, I didn't know I was meeting with you today." I said, awkwardly. "That's fine. Why don't we get some coffee and discuss some things?" He said, smiling at me and standing up.
We walked to a little cafe and ordered some coffee. We sipped some before discussing some things. "So you want to marry Annabeth." He said. "Yeah." I said, smiling at my hands. I looked up and saw him looking a me. "Your daughter is amazing. She's smart, talented, funny, beautiful." I sighed with happiness. He smiled at his coffee. "I know you are definitely the right person to marry her. She talked about you all the time before she moved to New York." He said, smiling.
"I just want the best for her." He said, looking me in the eyes. "I want to thank you for falling with her on your last quest. It proves how much you care for her." He said. "Thank you sir." I said, a small smile on my face.
"So I am sure you know about me having to give you a whole talk, blah, blah blah." He said, waving his hand. My cheeks went deep red. "Yes sir." I said looking at my hands nervously again. "Have you two?" He asked, not needing to finish the sentence. "No." I said, my cheeks reddening even more. He chuckled. "Percy, you don't have to be so nervous. I don't bite. And even if you two did I wouldn't shout. You two have been through a lot together." He said. I let out a breath of relief.
"Well I have to get to work but thank you for meeting with me Percy. I have had a nice time chatting to you." He said. We got up and walked to the front door. Before we went our different ways, he pulled me close so he could say in my ear, "Behave." He smirked at me as my cheeks went hot and walked off in another direction
I walked back to the university, taking my time.I saw it was her lunch time when I got to the campus. I felt my phone vibrate an checked my messages. I don't have any more lectures this afternoon ;) I smiled at the message from Annabeth and walked to her dorm. I went inside and to her room.
I knocked on the door and opened it. She was the only one inside. "Hey." She said, putting her book on her bedside table and patting a space on her bed. I joined her and relaxed on the soft bed. "I think he likes me. He gave me his word." I said. She nodded. "Did he give you the talk?" She asked. "Sort of. Not really." I said. She raised an eyebrow but didn't question it.
I leaned forward and kissed her. She was lying on her back and I was lying next to her on my stomach. She returned the kiss and I cupped her cheek with my hand. She deepened the kiss and pulled me closer. I put my one hand under her and the other one next to her head. I kissed her jaw line and she gasped. I kissed her lips again and deepened the kiss.
She pt her hands on my chest. I took my one hand and twiddled the hem of her shirt with my fingers. We flipped over so she was on top of me. I still had my one hand on the small of her back and the other one at the hem of her shirt. I pulled it up slightly, revealing her flat stomach. She slid her one hand under my shirt, resting it on my chest.
I slid my hand down her back and onto her butt. I don't know why but I just did. I put my other hand on her stomach and I felt her smile against my lips. I smiled as well and kissed her.
I put my fingers on the edge of her jean shorts, fingering them. She still had her one hand resting on my chest as she rubbed soothing circles onto it. I tugged lightly at her shorts. I felt her breath against my neck as she caught her breath. Our legs were tangled together. She pulled my shirt off, over my hand, and dropped it on the floor. I slid my hand that was on her stomach up her stomach and chest and rested it by her cheek. "Percy." She said against my lips. I kissed her, tasting melon in my mouth and mumbled, "Mhm?" I was about her kiss her again when she moved her cheek to the side. "We're in a dorm room. One of my room mates could walk in any minute." She said.
I sighed, knowing she was right and took my hands off her. I propped myself on my elbows, watching as she stood up to straighten her clothes, when the front door opened. Lucy saw me shirtless and hid her face behind a think book. "Sorry, I came to get, uh, my books." She said. Annabeth chuckled and Lucy quickly got her things and left. Annabeth threw me my top as I chuckled at her. "You should have all your clothing on when you are around my friends." She said, chuckling. I laughed and kissed her forehead. "Its a thought." I said.
