I am happy to see that you guys still love me. Thank you for keeping up with me. Hope you will also enjoy this chapter.

ANNABETH'S POV

"Ryan I have to tell you something" she spoke with a heavy voice. Trying her best to not let it break.

"Ok" Ryan said, "What is it?"

"Ryan, I broke up with Percy nearly eight months ago" she started, "and here I am today with you. I am giving you a chance only because I want to get him out of my mind. I want you to know that. I don't want to cheat you"

"Hey" Ryan sounded caring, "It's okay for me even if you want to cancel the date now. All I want is you to be happy"

"Ryan...that's" Annabeth broke down

"Annabeth" Ryan said as he stroked her back, "Please don't cry. You are making me feel guilty. I can leave if you want to"

This had a reverse effect on her, "Don't….even…you…love me…now?" she asked between sobs

"What?" Ryan asked bewildered at her misunderstanding, "Gods! Annabeth no. I love you more than anything"

"Then"

"It's just that if you want to go back to Percy" Ryan said looking down, "and if that will make you happy, then I will go with it. I just want to be happy. And anyways, you don't have speak to someone that you love the latter" now he was gazing at the horizon, "you should just feel it. That is what is necessary."

Annabeth was dumbfound at this. She didn't expect this. Why didn't she see it?

"The sunset is beautiful, isn't it?" Ryan said as he wiped his tears, eager to change the topic, "Not more than you but" he added. This made her blush a little.

What?! Why was she blushing?! Did she fall for him? No! That can't happen. She doesn't even know him properly! But he had surely touched her heart. She was falling for him, without even realizing what was happening.

She looked at him and he returned it with a smile. A cute simple smile that was trying to hold back the tears inside. Annabeth knew that. She could read faces very well. He felt bad for him.

Annabeth had ever intended to hurt anyone. But here she was now, trying to give herself false sympathy.

No! She could not do that to Ryan. He seems so genuine. She cannot snatch away his happiness like that. Then she did something that she knew she would never do. That one thing in life you know that you will never do and then, one day, you have done it. Just like that.

She leaned in and kissed Ryan. She fucking kissed him. On the lips! How? She didn't know. Ryan was shocked at first but then he kissed back. His tongue brushing against her lower lip. She opened her mouth and their tongues explored each other's mouth.

He broke apart for air. The joy on his face was indescribable. Without another word, he kissed her back.

PERCY'S POV

"Rhea?" Percy asked "What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to see you" she said guiltily, "I also wanted to apologize" she said, looking down.

"Oh" he replied, he didn't expect her more or less, "It's okay. I forgive you"

The evening was arousingly beautiful. It was as if it had been set for someone. The wind blew with glee. The moon shone brightly on the soft curves of the water like silver blades tearing through it.

She was still standing there in the side, kicking the sand with her shoes. Gods! She was beautiful.

"You want to sit?" Percy asked her awkwardly, patting the space beside me. Not sure what he was expecting to be the answer.

She blushed really hard and then sat down. She was gorgeous when she didn't want to look beautiful. Her hair, her face, her cheeks, her lips, every minute detail. Why was he thinking like this? He couldn't help it.

"Gorgeous" he murmured like an idiot. That actually came out a little bit too loud. Her cheeks were redder than tomato.

"Thanks" she replied shyly, "I...uh…are you still in love with Annabeth?"

"No" Percy replied, keeping his eyes fixed on the ocean, "I am over it now"

"I-I am sorry Percy" she said between sobs

"Hey it's okay" Percy tried to assure her, "I don't blame you anymore. You can't stop what is going to happen, you can only delay it. Better now than later."

"Percy, I-I don't know if it's right or wrong" she said, "But I still love you" just saying that, she got up and ran off, leaving Percy to sit there and keep wondering over her words.

"Oh" Percy murmured to himself as he got up and walked to his cabin. He was thinking about Rhea all the way down.

RHEA'S POV

Enough was enough. She loved him and he didn't even reply! If it would have been for Annabeth, she would have understood, but now that bitch was gone. She had left Percy alone and fled.

Rhea got up from her bed and moved to Percy's cabin. She knocked hard on his door. He opened the door, shirtless, "Rhe-"

He was cut by her. Before she could tell, her lips were on his. For an agonizing moment, he just stood there, not responding.

Oh no! Rhea thought, she had gone too far. Nope! She felt Percy's tongue exploring her mouth. A very deep, hard and passionate kiss. Oh gods, she loved it. They separated for air and he kissed her again.

His hands ran all over her body. Her hair, her back and her butt, pressing it in a lusty manner. He needed it as much as she did. He lifted her and carried her to his bed.

He put her down and started to lick her neck. Quiet moans coming out of her mouth. His hands pressing her curves. He removed her shirt in a hasty manner and kissed her again. He broke apart and Rhea took off her bra as a string of saliva still attached them. Rhea's pants and underwear hit the floor and soon after them were Percy's boxers.

He was so good at it, Rhea loved it. It was her first time and she was enjoying it to the utmost hilt. Percy kissed her neck again and she moaned harder. He kept giving her pleasure all night long. None of them got much sleep that night and none wanted to.

Sorry for this chapter! I know it is a little bit too cheesy but I had to do it in order to develop the plot. Hope you will forgive me. Till then, Stay Home, Stay Safe and Keep Reading.
