ANNABETH

She sat in silence, a million thoughts running through her mind. She had had a bit too much of wine, it seemed, cause she had a continuous urge to kiss the hottie sitting beside her. Accompanied with an urge to rip off all her clothes.

She kept her eyes focused on the road, for if she were to turn them towards him, she wouldn't be able turn them off him then.

If I kiss him right now, what will his reaction be? Does he know that I'm drunk? He isn't drunk. Will he kiss me back? Will he taste like the dessert? Which flavour ice cream did he have? Um…..Butterscotch! Yes! I like butterscotch! I'll kiss him.

She turned to face him, No! And again turned her head towards the road. That was when he spoke, "What's up with you, Wise Girl?"

"You are hot" she blabbered. Having no control over her tongue. Shit.

He only laughed, "And you are drunk." Stressing each word, as if they were meant for a child whose listening them for the first time. He shook his head and continued to drive.

"Sorry" she managed, trying her best to get a grip over herself. Kiss him! A voice yelled inside her. No, you idiot! Don't you dare do something like that and jeopardize everything.

"Hey Annabeth," Percy spoke. That got her straight up, and out of her intoxication, "I wanted to speak to you about earlier today….." one look at her, and he knew, "but it looks like you ain't sober, so let it be. We'll talk about it later."

"No." it came sharper than she had intended. Which made Percy frown. "No. Please, talk. I don't wanna waste even a single chance this time. Please, Percy….speak." she put her hand on his.

"Okay" he said slowly, "At the airport today, I'm sorry that I walked away like that. I shouldn't have behaved like that. I am sorry. I am really sorry."

"O Percy, don't be!" Annabeth spoke, "I don't blame you. No one is to be blamed…the circumstance toy with us. Everytime. We possibly can't do anything about it." She consoled, "Don't you blame yourself for it."

"And what happened in the park….." Annabeth blushed a deep red when Percy said this…

"What do you mean by that?" she enquired. "What happened? Or what didn't happen?" it was his time to blush now.

"I couldn't kiss you…." He said after a long cute silence. "I…wanted to….but…" his eyes were on the road, but she could see him growing uncomfortable, his face muscles straining, his jawline clenched.

She loosened her seat belt, and knelt towards him. Her right hand going to the back of his head, setting firmly in his jet black hair, and her left hand turned his face towards her.

He didn't have much time to react, but in that moment, when their eyes met, she saw shock and happiness simultaneously, storming in those sea green eyes. And she put her lips on his. Not giving a fuck about anything.

She explored his mouth while he did the same. She felt bliss. Heaven. Everything else was forgotten, nothing else mattered. Only me and you and you and me alone, Percy Jackson. No one, but us. Not this world, not the social obligations, not this road…THE ROAD! FUCK!

She felt a massive jerk. The kiss broke. Things happened in slow motion thereafter. The windshield broke down into trillions of tiny glass atoms, she felt her body moving towards her left involuntarily, suspended somewhat mid-air.

Percy's head jerked brutally towards her; his eyes wide with horror; the shards of his window pierced his side and some grazed his flawless handsome face. One of the shards grazed his jawline and impaled itself in Annabeth's throat.

And then down they came with a thump! Oh, why do I love you like this, Percy Jackson!? WHY?! Was Annabeth's last thought as her eyes saw only darkness and she felt the air go out of her.
