Percy's P.O.V
"Thalia knows..".I whispered in disbelief as I slacked back in my chair. I alwa
ys though I kept my secret crush a secret, hence the word secret.
But...
Maybe Thalia's right.
Maybe I should go for it, and tell Annabeth right now before it's too late.
Because I don't want for Annabeth to leave before I tell her how I feel.
"I'm coming for you, Annabeth. Hang on." I stood up quickly, walked out of the cafe, and quickly got drenched the second I stepped foot in the streets of New York.
I ran to my apartment building, my heart racing.
This is going to be the day you tell her you like her, alright?
Enough with all the secrecy.
I entered the elevator, thinking of all the things I can say to Annabeth.
I finally went to our floor, 13, and knocked on her door.
In seconds, Annabeth slightly opened the door, staring at me, looking surprised.
"Hey, Wise Girl." I calmly tried to say, flashing her a smile.
"You're wet." She simply said, looking me up and down.
"Wow, thanks for stating the obvious, Annie." I smirked, letting myself into her home.
"What are you doing here?" She whisper-yelled, ignoring the fact that I called her Annie.
"Do you want me to leave?" I asked, getting really nervous, now.
"I didn't say that. I just thought you were hanging out with Rachel."
"Oh...you see...Rachel and I broke up." I guiltily chukled, scratching the back of my next.
Annabeth looked like she just got sucker punched, doubling over.
"What?" She was able to screech out.
"Yeah...you okay?" I walked over to her inspecting her a bit...or a lot...in the dark.
She had long sleeved pajamas, with matching pants, and her hair was out and opened, still looking crazy as usual.
She looked up, and our eyes met.
We were frozen in place, just looking at one another.
But I didn't mind.
"Has someone ever told you how cute you look when you look tired?" I whispered, not even having a thought about what I was saying.
Annabeth blushed, looking down to the ground.
"Thanks."
We both changed our awkward position, and I gulped, trying to find the words to say the right thing.
"Hey Annabeth..."
"Hey Percy..."
We both said nervously at the same time.
"Sorry, you first." I said, a red tint on my cheeks.
"Um...nevermind, I totally forgot what I was going to say..." Annabeth coughed.
"Are you sure?" I asked nervously.
"Yeah...you know what...I think it's getting late..." She said, not meeting my eyes.
"Well, before I go, I just wanted to say that...I..."
I couldn't finish my sentence.
"You what, Percy?" Annabeth said slowly.
"I...um...like..."
"What?"
"I like owls?" I let out, having no idea what I just said.
"Owls?" Annabeth looked a bit dissapointed, but still confused as ever.
"Yeah...I guess I said that...well, I've gotta go, now..."
I'm a total loser.
Why couldn't I just tell her the simple words 'I like you'?
How hard is that? It's only 3 words.
"Shut up, Seaweed Brain. I know you have something to say."
Wise Girl stopped me in my tracks.
"I have nothing to say..." I looked to the ground.
"Just say it! Who the heck will care if you said something stupid? I know I won't!" Annabeth almost yelled, looking almost aggravated by me.
"It's nothing important, alright? I was just playing around..."
"Like you were playing around with the girl you were making out with?"
Whoa.
What just happened?
"What are you talking about?"
"You know what I'm talking about."
"No, I don't."
"Right...you know, while you were gone, Rachel called me, again? You were kissing another girl?!" Annabeth said, looking deadly calm.
What she said took me by surprise.
"What are you talking about? I wasn't kissing any girl." I replied, disbelief and disgust laced my voice.
"She called me, sounding like she was crying, Perce..I don't know what to think."
"I'm your friend! Why can't you trust me?"
"I don't know! Just...just leave." Annabeth shook her head, closing her eyes.
"No! I wasn't kissing anybody, and we both just broke up because we were fighting!" I almost yelled, starting to get angry.
"LEAVE. I don't want to hear it! Please!" She raised her voice.
"NO, JUST PLEASE HEAR ME OUT!"
"WHY WON'T YOU LEAVE?!" Annabeth tried to push me out of her door.
"YOU KNOW WHAT WE WERE FIGHTING ABOUT?" I yelled, only steps away from the door.
It's now or never, Perce.
Just tell her.
"WHAT?! JUST LEAVE."
"I'll leave once I tell you. Please." My voice was scratchy from all of the yelling, and I took a couple of steps forward, looking her directly at her bloodshot eyes.
She's been crying.
God, I'm a jerk.
"WHY WON'T YOU LEAVE?!" Annabeth yelled once again, her face red.
"IT'S BECAUSE I LIKE YOU, ANNABETH!" I hollered in surrender.
There was a moment of silence as she was looking at me up and down, her face expressionless.
"What?" She said, quietly.
"I'm sorry, alright? I like you, Wise Girl...I get it if you don't like me in that way...I never kissed another girl, and the only reason I broke up with Rachel was because I liked you. Not her, or anybody else."
Once I said what I needed to say, I let out a sigh, not even aware that I was holding my breath.
I eyed Annabeth, and she wasn't moving.
She didn't even blink once.
It figures. Annabeth wouldn't like a guy like me, anyways.
"Sorry...I guess I'll just go now." I looked down to the ground, rejection punching me in the face.
"Come here, Seaweed Brain." Annabeth whispered, hugging me.
"What?" I slowly said.
Even though I was surprised, I hugged her back, nonetheless.
We pulled apart from our warm embrace, and she smiled so brightly, my heart skipped a beat.
"I like you, too."
I don't want to sound like a cliche movie, but I surely felt like one right now.
"Uh...a.." I couldn't form any words, and I'm pretty sure I ruined our whole moment, but Annabeth brushed it off with a light laugh.
"Just kiss me, Jackson..." Annabeth slowly said, closing her eyes, tilting her head to the side.
"Whatever you say, Chase..." I whispered smiling as I leaned in.
We were inches away.
Then centimeters.
Then millimeters.
In a matter of seconds, I slowly felt our lips brush, and volts of electricity surged through me.
I kissed her lower lip, and slowly cupped her delicate face in my hands.
She slowly started to kiss me back, and I couldn't help but smile.
I kept on kissing her slowly.
This all felt like a dream, and I never wanted to wake up.
Annabeth pulled back, with a small smile forming in her face.
"You don't know how long I wanted to do that." She said breathlessly.
I raised one of my eyebrows.
"Really?" I asked, amused.
"Be quiet, Seaweed Brain."
"In your dreams, Wise Girl..."
I closed my eyes once again, and breathed against her skin.
I smiled to myself as I felt her shiver, and kissed her cheek lightly.
"You're such a dork, Jackson." Annabeth softly said.
"But I'm your dork." I smirked, joking with her.
Hehehe...did you guys like it? I wanted the happiness and fluff to start now, and I couldn't wait for it any longer. I really do hope that you guys enjoyed this. Starting from now, there's going to be fluffy chapters, but then there's going to be chaos and everything after that...so, enjoy all of this while it lasts, kids. :P
