Lizzie POV
Chapter 24: Saturday
I woke up in my bed that morning, normal time. 7:30 am, sharp. I was up usually at 6:30 during the summer due to breakfast being at 7:30, but since we aren't at camp, I added an hour of sleep. I went to the bathroom and changed into some lazy clothing. Sweatpants and a t-shirt that was too large for me. I walked out to the kitchen to see Drake cooking breakfast. Ajax was still sleeping by the looks of it. I took a look at Drake, he looked like me, I blushed.
"Morning, Liz." He greeted me as I smiled
"Morning, Drake." I replied and sat at the table.
"Just making breakfast. Ajax is sleeping, and I woke up an hour earlier." He answered as I nodded. Soon, he set down a plate with my favorite on it. Pancakes with whip-cream with syrup and strawberries and banana on top, along with a side of sliced apples and a glass of orange juices. My mouth started watering as Drake laughed.
"What's so funny?" I playfully glared at him as he reduced to chuckling.
"You're drooling." He replied as my eyebrows shot up, whipping my lips with my arm as he chuckled and ate his plate, which was the same as mine. I soon dug into my pancake, blushing at Drake's comment as he ate casually.
"You know… Today's Saturday." I told him. He nodded while he was chewing. "Maybe we can go to a movie tonight? You know, as us three?" I asked as his eyes widen as he gulped, hard.
"You mean like a family night out?" He asked as I thought for a moment.
"Yeah, that could work. Every Saturday night we have one?" I told and asked him. He nodded and smiled. We got done as we started the dishes as Ajax walked out and yawned. He wore his camp t-shirt to bed and sweatpants were on.
"You guys ate without me?" He asked. "Why?"
"You're a kid. You need rest to grow, kiddo." Drake told him. "And I didn't forget you, Ajax, I made you a plate. Lemme warm it up." Drake walked to the fridge as I grabbed the fruit and started cutting the banana and the apples. Drake removed the plate from the microwave and I placed the fruits on the pancake and handed it to Ajax. He smiled, took it, and went to the living room, and started watching late morning cartoons. Drake and I went into the study as we both had homework to finish up. He sat at the desk as I took the couch.
We asked each other questions on math and English and that was about it, we were pretty good in the other subjects. We started hearing some thudding noises as I peeked into the training room to see Ajax using a fake-sword on a dummy. I can't blame him, he usually training at this hour as we resumed our homework. It was almost noon and we were all bored. Ajax was sketching, Drake was reading a pretty tattered book as I was thinking.
What if Drake and I become parents?
What if we get married?
What if we have a fight?
…What if I loose him? That question frighten me the most. I looked over at Drake and studied him. Messy brown hair, deep sapphire eyes, flawless features (Traits of a god, no doubt.), curious sensitivity. Over-all he was down right handsome. Drake caught me looking at him as I blushed, he winked and smiled.
"Hey, why don't we all walk around town? It's a good way to kill time before our movie we agreed upon." Drake said, closing the old book and tying a string around a knob on it. Ajax looked up, and looked thoughtful.
"Yeah, the movie starts in 5 hours, I bet there's loads of things to do here. Maybe we'll run into Percy and Annabeth." Ajax said. My face brightened it seemed
"Alright, we'll do that, but first.. We all need to clean ourselves up. Ajax and I nodded as I went to my bathroom, taking out a white blouse and slight skinny jeans. I brushed my hair straight but a few ends stood up like small curls as I put my clothing on. I brushed my teeth and washed my hands and face and went to the living area. Ajax was ready as he wore a plain orange t-shirt and jeans. His hair in its messy blonde style as he smiled at me.
"Aw, last one again?" I herd Drake say behind me as I looked. He wore a black button up shirt with elbow length sleeves as he wore a grey sleeveless vest that was light with a hood. His jeans were normal but tattered from the summer at camp. His brown hair was slightly combed, but like Ajax, it was slightly spiky, but I liked his hair untamed. Not like rats nest style, but enough to know he isn't really a comb guy as I smiled at him.
"You look nice." He told me as he handed me my light red jacket. I slid my arms into the sleeves as I blushed.
"You don't look half-bad either." I replied.
"Ok love-birds, save the kissy kissy for the movie and lets go." Ajax commented as I felt my cheek burn as Drake cheeks went crimson. I herd Ajax laugh.
"Just you wait, Ajax… Just you wait." Drake said as Ajax stopped laughing as I grinned. In about 4 years we'll start teasing him about Ashley. We walked to the elevator to be stopped by a call from behind us.
"Drake! Lizzie! Ajax! Hold the door!" We herd Sam yell as Sam was in a polo t-shirt and dress pants and Ashley following behind in a light blue dress and a grey coat, she had a ribbon in her hair as her hair was shorter. She looked adorable, then again, when wasn't she?
"Hey Cranes." Drake greeted as they entered the elevator. Drake removed his hand from the door as it closed. "Where are you two going?"
"Family lunch. We have it every Saturday at 'The pub'" Ashley said. We looked confused.
"It's a bar slash restraint. My daughter here knows a waitress that was once her babysitter." Sam explained.
"Oh, so you two go there every Saturday?" I asked as they nodded.
"It was a tradition ever since Ashley was a first grader." Sam explained as Ashley nodded, smiling. "Do you guys have a tradition?" He asked us.
"We're starting one now." Ajax said. "Saturday Movie Day." He told them.
"That's nice, but aren't the movies on until another 6 hours?" Ashley asked as he nodded.
"We were going to explore the city some more." Drake explained. "Since we moved here two days ago and all."
"Hm.. Why not join us for lunch?" Sam asked as Drake and I shook our heads.
"Thanks, but its your day with your daughter, we don't want to take that away." I explained as he looked surprised.
"I wouldn't mind. Plus it'll be more fun." Ashley said as she smiled. "And besides.. Dad and I go to the same school and class. So we always have father-daughter time a lot."
"That is true…" Ajax muttered as Drake and I looked at each other
"Sure, why not." I replied as Ashley smiled. Sam nodded as Drake shrugged in agreement. We all walked through the lobby as the door men tilted the tip of his cap at us.
"Good afternoon, Curt." Ashley smiled at him as he waved and tossed Ashley a mint as she caught it.
"Curt is your friend?" Ajax asked as Ashley giggled.
"Yup~ Every Saturday he tosses me an after-dinner mint." Ashley commented as Sam chuckled, shaking his head. We all chatted about our adjustment and Ashley and Ajax just talked about their friend Al.
"Al's doing good, he's moving in his sleep now, but he's still in a coma." Ashley stated, she seemed pleased by it.
"That's good. I can't wait to meet this guy finally. Does they know about when he wakes up?"
"They said in about 4 days. Max." She replied. I nodded. Usually they last about 4 hours after surgery, but like that, 4 days seems about right. They resumed talking about school.
"So Lizzie, liking school so far?" Sam asked as I nodded. Drake and I took turns telling stories about school, our friends TK and Lana, and the status of Georgy Rosy Cheeks. Sam laughed at the story.
"So you just went up, and slapped him on both cheeks?" He asked me. I nodded.
"She even left a purple bruise on a cheek." Drake commented. I grinned evilly at that.
"Remind me not to make Lizzie mad." Sam said.
"She could've done worse." Drake said as I nodded mentally. Sam didn't know we were demi-gods.. Let's keep it that way. We reached 'The Pub' as it looked a bit like a Spanish place. We stepped in and I instantly wanted to take off my coat. It was warm in this place. I looked around to see families and couples laughing. There was a bar to one side while there was a stage and microphone with a stool. People were chatting as Ashley and Sam walked over to a table and pulled three extra chairs over. We all sat down. In a circle, it went with Drake first, then me, then Ajax, then Ashley, and then Sam. It was a good set up, due to the kids sitting next to each other, Drake and Sam can chat about mature stuff, and Drake and I can still hold hands. We were talking to each other then the waitress came.
"Ah! Sam! Ashley! Welcome. Who are these?" The waitress asked. She wore the uniform. Dress pants, white sleeve dress shirt, and a red vest.
"Hey, Hannah, these are just new neighbors of ours. They'll be joining us from now on if they can." Sam replied.
"Of course! I'll need to save 5 chairs and a table now." We all laughed as she smiled. "The usual?" She asked as Ashley and Sam nodded. She turned our attention to us. "And you three?"
"I'll have water." I replied.
"Mountain dew, please." Ajax asked.
"I'll take a cup of hot chocolate." Drake said as I looked at him, a bit confused. He waved it off with a shrug and grinned. Hannah nodded and patted Ashley on the head. I took a moment to study her features. She was a brunette girl with blonde streaks in her hair, she had deep brown eyes, almost black if you didn't pay close attention, her skin was slightly tan, and she was friendly as Ashley smiled. She walked to the kitchen as we resumed talking.
"So, Drake… Why hot chocolate?" Sam asked. I was wandering the same as I nodded.
"I'm plan on getting some Oreo's. I'm not much of an eater." He replied as I smiled. Hot Chocolate and Oreo's do sound good. (A/N; remind me NOT to write about food anymore, k? thanks.) Soon, our drinks arrive as we all took our orders. Ajax got 2 soft shell tacos, while Ashley ordered one. Sam ordered a steak as I ordered a Caesar salad. Drake, like he said, requested Oreo's. Hannah looked confused and nodded. She went back into the kitchen. Soon after, our meals came. Ajax and Ashley dug right in as Sam and Drake laughed. They went on to talk about job openings. Wait…
Job openings?
I jerked my head to Drake who was nodding about a job in a Coffee shop, Starbucks I think. Drake smiled and nodded.
"You're looking for a job, Drake?" I asked suddenly. He looked towards me and nodded.
"We need a way to pay the rent, so I figured a simple job would do the trick. A Starbucks in barns and nobles seems like a good place since they can enjoy coffee while looking for a book." He explained. I nodded.
"Then I'll apply for a job as well," I replied as Drake smiled.
"And where, are you going to find a job, Liz?" He asked.
"A restaurant." I replied as he looked confused. "Waitresses are high these days and plus, the pay is good." He closed his eyes and nodded, obviously doing loss and profits in his head.
"It is a good job. But please be careful.. Alright?" He asked as I blinked. Then I remembered males tend to be flirty to females waitresses. Or the exact opposite.
"Alright, I promise." I promised him. He smiled.
'On the Styx.' He mouthed. I blinked, surprised by this.
'I swear on the Styx.' I mouthed back as thunder boomed. He sighed and looked relieved.
"We'll apply for a job tomorrow. Ajax, you wouldn't mind going over to Ashley's for that day, would ya?" Drake asked him, he looked at him, mouth full of taco as he nodded. Ashley blushed a bit as Sam smiled.
"Ajax is welcome over anytime. You know that." Sam replied.
"Same goes for Ashley." I replied as we all laughed. We resumed eating and said our farewells. (And a little fight over how much we pay for the checks) Soon, Drake, Ajax and I were exploring as Ajax looked about excitedly. We went from store to store, window browsing and all the sorts. Drake bought a book called 'Maximum Ride.' as we kept walking. We were at the theater at 7:15, a few moments the early show started. The movie we were going to is 'The Hunger Games'. We took our seats and watched the movie.
We went home after the movie. We stopped at a Starbucks to get hot drinks since it was a bit chilly outside. Drake offered his vest for me, but I shook my head. He smiled as we entered our apartment building as we went to our home. Ajax yawned and went to bed early as Drake and I went into the study and started reading. We did not find Percy or Annabeth at all while we were out, but we managed to find a map and where they lived. Just incase we ever needed something. I yawned as Drake was passed out on the study's coach. I smiled at him and covered him up. When I turned to leave, he caught my wrist, and pulled me into his grasp. I smiled, remembering our 'date'. I cuddled into him and fell asleep.
With a smile on my face.
