Okay.

I'm here! Wow, look at me updating on schedule. I left the previous chapter on quite a cliffhanger, eh? Hehe.

I'm bored as hell. I don't have a schist to do (except updating of course).

Anyway. Let's get on with the chapter!

Here we goo!

Percy:

I peeked into the room and I was shocked to see Annabeth sleeping. In a very comfortable position, she looked like an angel. I walked into the room as quietly as I can, and stood next to her bed, and looked at her.

She looked at peace. The usual crease on her forehead disappeared and her mouth was set in a peaceful smile. She looked beautiful. Her hair was splattered across her pillow.

I just can't imagine why took me so much time to realize that she was the one. She was the one since the day I met her.

*Flashback*

I love the beach. Mom brought me here every week. I walked down to the shore to get some seashells when I see a girl with blonde hair making a perfect sandcastle. And by perfect, I mean a straight-up castle with towers and everything. She even had a tiny flag!

I wanted to play with her. So I grabbed as many seashells as I could in my tiny hands and shoved them into a bucket that I brought with me.

As soon as I reached her, she whipped her head around. She had grey eyes, I have never seen that color in anyone's eyes before.

"Don't come near me!" She said protecting her castle. Woah.

"But I wanna play too," I said, my lips trembling.

"What do you have in there?" She asked, looking pointedly at my bucket.

I smiled widely. Maybe I could give her these to play with her. "Seashells!" I said.

"Oh," She said. I waited there for her to say something else. After a minute or two, she spoke up.

"Maybe.. Maybe you can help me decorate. With the shells?" She asked.

"Okay!" I said cheerfully. Then I realized I didn't know her name.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Annabeth. Yours?" She asked in turn. She was lining the seashells neatly.

"Percy," I said.

"That's a nice name." She said and went back to decorating her castle.

After a while, we finished and it looked even more beautiful, with seashells making a pattern.

"Annabeth!" I hear a woman's voice.

"Yes, mommy?" She said.

"Honey where- Oh! Who's your new friend?" The lady bent down to our height and poked her nose. Then she pinched my cheeks.

"This is Percy. He helped me make the sandcastle!" She said, enthusiastically.

"Oh. Where's your mommy?" The lady asked.

"Over there," I said, pointing to the place where my mom was reading a book. The lady nodded and walked towards mommy.

My mommy started talking to the lady and they both walked towards us. They both laughed suddenly. I looked at Annabeth, confused. She just shrugged.

The moms helped us put our dresses back on and we walked to Annabeth's car and we went our separate ways.

Annabeth waved at me and I waved back.

Since then, there were always play dates and outings with both of our families.

*Flashback ends*

Before I knew what I was doing, I bent and stroked her hair. It was soft.

She moved a little bit, scaring me but then hummed in content. She was so adorable.

I sat down beside her and stroked her hair.

Then slowly, slowly my eyes closed and I plunged into the land of sleep.

Annabeth:

I woke to the sound of someone snoring. Who else is in my room? I rubbed my eyes and slowly woke up. The bed was moving and so was the pillow.

Except it wasn't the bed or a pillow.

It was... Percy.

I was on top of him, with my head on his chest and his arm was wrapped around my back. Our legs were in a tangle.

I do not know how we got into this situation! I don't even remember him coming into the room!

But he did look cute though. He drooled a little.

I tried to get up and let him sleep. This was awkward. I just couldn't not imagine that this would be how we would wake up every after every nap cuddling if he was my boyfriend. Pathetic. I've fallen too deep.

We were having a talk about this later but my mind couldn't process anything with him under me. I needed to get up and get a dose of reality. I could hear the rhythm of his heart beating under my hand. I blushed.

I needed to get up and leave him be. I needed to tell him to leave me alone.

I untangled my legs and got up. But he mumbled something incoherent and pulled me back to his chest and I landed with a thump, waking him.

"Wha-" He said before widening his eyes and getting up quickly and blushing. I blushed too.

"You drool in your sleep," I said and got up, to avoid conversation.

I got a text from Luke,

hey. i'll pick u up at 7.

I replied,

k. i'll be waiting.

It was 6:00. Did I seriously sleep for two hours? I shake my head while walking into the closet and pick out a dress. I lay it down on the bed and go back for a pair of shoes.

After that I start doing my make-up-

"Are you going somewhere?" Percy asked. I forgot that he was here.

"Y-y-yeah." I stammered.

"Where?" He asked, curiously.

"On a date with Luke." I said after composing myself.

His face fell. I think I saw some disappointment in his eyes. No way.

"Okay." He mumbled and walked out of the room.

I got dressed and walked out to meet Luke.

What I didn't know was that Percy was standing above us, staring at me.

Okay. That's over. Wasn't that beach scene cute? My favorite part was when Annabeth woke up. *squeals* *fangirls* PERCABETH!
