Chapter 36
They were still at the bar when Thalia received a call. She excused herself and went outside. Minutes later she came back somewhat pissed. Annabeth noticed her. "Something wrong Thals?" Thalia slumped herself on the chair. "My father really knows how to ruin my mood." She grumbled. "What is it?"Annabeth asked. "Well he wanted to drag my ass early in the morning tomorrow to attend some stupid lunch with his business partners and their families."
"Gods I hate him when he does that. I can 't even say no." The others smiled at her sadly. "Anyways I prefer to go there now than to wake up early in the morning with a hangover and drive for freaking 2 hours. So guys.." She trailed off and grabs her purse. "I am leaving. Enjoy the rest of the night. And Sean makes sure to get Annabeth home safely." "Of course." Sean replied.
Thalia waved goodbye and leave the bar. An hour later Silena is already drunk. She keeps giggling whenever Charles says something to her. "Well someone is drunk." Leo teased. "I am not drunk." Silena hissed. "Oh I am not referring to you Princess." Leo mocked. "Whatever." Silena huffed and leaned over to Charles.
"Honey, will you tell that little elf that I am not drunk." Silena said to Charles. Charles chuckled. "Honey.." Connor mimicked. "Hey! Who you calling an elf?" Leo protested. Reyna laughs beside him. "You know what I'll prove to you that I am still sober." She said. "What are you doing?" Charles asked concerned. Without answering, she suddenly sat up making her stumble. "Woah." Charles luckily caught her in his arms. "Alright you have enough. I am taking you home."
"No!" Silena protested. "Don't argue. I'm taking her home." Charles said to the others. "Charles she brought her car with her." Katie informed. "Yes honey, I have my car so I'm driving home." Silena stated giggling. "Oh no you're not." Charles scolded. He handed his car keys to Sean. "We'll take her car." Charles stated. "Come on. Let's get you home." He said to Silena. "Don't drink too much." He turned towards the others. "Yes Daddy!" Connor mocked earning a glare from Charles. Silena waved goodbye to them giggling.
"Well that was entertaining." Clarisse stated. They continued to party when Sean noticed that Annabeth is starting to drift off beside him. "Hey Wise Girl, sleepy?" He asked. Annabeth nodded. "A little." "You want to go home now?" Sean asked. "If that's okay with you?" She asked. Sean nodded.
"Hey guys, is it okay if we go ahead? Annabeth is tired." Sean explained. "Making an excuse huh." Leo teased. Sean hit the back of his head. The others chuckled. "It's okay with us. We know these past few days you've been busy." Clarisse said. Annabeth smiled at her. "Thanks guys we'll go ahead."
Minutes later they arrived at Thalia's house. Sean opens the door for Annabeth. He walks her towards the front door. She turned to him. "Thank you." She mumbled. "For what?" Sean asked. "For all that you've done. It means a lot to me."
He smiled warmly at her. "You know I'll do anything for you." Annabeth hugs him. He hugs her back. He kissed the top of her head. "Get some sleep." He ordered. "I'll call you tomorrow." She pulled away and thinks for a moment. "You want to come inside?" She asked afterwards.
Sean studied her. "I thought you said you were already sleepy?" "Maybe?" She answered but it came out like a question. "What?" Sean chuckled. "I was a bit sleepy a while ago but I am not now." She said crossing her arms daring Sean to question her. "Okay Wise Girl." He just answered smiling.
Annabeth opens the door and Sean followed her inside. "You want some coffee?" Annabeth asked as she closed the door behind them. "Sure." She went to the kitchen. Sean sat on the couch in the living room and turned on the TV. She returns with 2 mugs on her hands. "Here." She handed him the other one. She sits beside Sean.
She places the mug in the table and turns towards him. "How come you never told anyone that you can sing?" Annabeth asked suddenly. Sean just shrugged smiling. She hit him in the arm. "I deserve an explanation you know." She demanded. He holds her hands and kisses it. "I wanted to surprise you. And it never crossed my mind until recently."
"Well I think you have such a good voice and you should often use it." Annabeth said to him smiling. He shook his head. "Why not?" Shea asked curiously. He just shrugged again. "For me?" He chuckled. "I will if it's just you." He stated. "Hmm not fair." She complained. "How is it unfair?" "Well let's just say I wanted the world to know. I wanted to make all the girls jealous of me for having a boyfriend that is not just handsome but with a good heart and very talented."
"Wow that's the first time you complimented me Wise Girl and since when did you become so cheesy?" Sean teased her. She shoved him in the arm. "Shut up!" She said smiling. He kissed her on the top of her head. When she saw that Sean already finished his coffee, she picked it up and went to the kitchen. Sean followed her after.
Sean leaned over the kitchen counter watching intently on Annabeth. She felt his gaze on her but she didn't mind. Sean moved towards her. He wraps his arms from her back her making Annabeth giggled. "What are you doing? Can't you see I'm busy?" She playfully scolded him. She felt him smile.
"Annabeth?" He called burying his face on his hair. "Hmm?" She mumbled. "I love you." He whispered in her ear. She turned towards him. She leaned over to the sink. Sean looked her in the eyes. She reaches for his face and caresses it. "I love you too." She pecks him on the lips.
Before she can pull away Sean cupped her face and kissed her. She felt good on how he kisses her. They didn't pull away for a minute. Annabeth hands automatically went at the back of his neck. At first their kiss was slow and gentle. Sean pulled her closer to him. He tightens his grip on Annabeth's waist. He slips his tongue to her mouth causing her to moan.
Annabeth leaned over to the sink for support. Sean kisses were making her weak. Sean is starting to lose his control. He kisses her more hungrily and she replied with the same intensity. Sean' hair was already in a mess same goes with Annabeth. Sean's hands find the hem of her shirt and he started to rub his hand on her side. She gasped as she felt his hands on her bare skin.
Sean pulled away. "I'm sorry." He murmured. She smiled at him. "It's okay." She whispered in his ear. They returned back to kissing each other. Sean kissed her from her jaw line to her neck which causes her to moan louder. They can't keep their hands of each other anymore.
Without even realizing they made it to her room. He even managed to lock the door. Before they hit the bed Sean's shirt was thrown somewhere in the room. He sets her down slowly. They stared at each other for a while having a silent conversation. "Are you sure about this?" He asked her taking control of his urges. He let go of her and sit at the edge of the bed.
Annabeth gets up and sits beside him. "I don't want to rush you into things." He mumbled. She reaches for his face and turned him to look at her. "Hey it's okay." She stated. "I just don't want you to regret this in the morning. We can take it slow. I don't want to push you above your limit." He said as he looks her in the eyes.
Annabeth smiled at him. It is one of the reasons why she loved him so much. She knows that Sean respect her. She cupped his face in her both hands. "I know and I trust you. Believe me when I said I want it too." After hearing it Sean kissed her instantly.
He grabs her on the waist and guided her on his lap. They were both kissing passionately. She pulled away for a second. He watches her as she grabs the hem of her shirt and takes it off. She blushes when she saw how Sean looks at her.
"You're so beautiful." He stated. He caresses her face and kissed her. Soon she was lying in the bed and Sean is on top of her. "I love you." Sean whispered to her as he showered her with many more kisses. Things became more heated after that. They both fell asleep with smile on their faces and with arms around each other.
LINEBREAK
Early in the morning Sean was awaken by a noise. It takes him seconds to remember where he is and what happened last night. Annabeth shifted beside him. A smile crept to Sean's face as he looks at her. She snuggled close to him. He kissed her forehead and slowly gets up trying not to wake her up. He picks up his boxer short and immediately put it on. He tried to find his pants where his phone kept ringing.
He glanced at the clock on the bedside table and it was 6 am. He groaned as he tried to find his pants. Who must be calling him at this early? After sometime he found his pants lying near the bathroom door. How did it get there? He has no idea. He picks it up and search for his phone. He silently cursed when he saw the caller. He went outside the room so not to wake Annabeth.
A/N (Sean – Bold, Travis – Italic)
"What do you want Stoll?!"
"Woah someone has woken at the wrong side of the bed."
"Shut up! Do you know what time is it?!"
"I know man. I'm sorry for waking you up. It's just I wanted to talk to you."
"And it can't wait?"
"No. Where are you? Can I come by? I just really need to ask you something. Please?"
"Whatever. I'm at Annabeth's."
"What are you doing in there? Well never mind. So can I come there? It will mean a lot to me."
"Fine."
"Thanks man. I'll see you in an hour."
Sean groaned as he went back inside her room. He carefully slid inside the cover. Annabeth put her arms around him. "Who is it?" She asked sleepy. "Travis." He replied pulling her closer. "What does he want?" She mumbled. "He wanted to talk to me. He said he'll be here in an hour." He kissed her lightly on the lips. "Go back to sleep." He whispered. Soon they're both drifted back to sleep.
True to his words Travis arrived exactly after an hour. He continually knocks on the door until the door finally opens revealing a shirtless Sean only wearing his boxers. Travis chuckled as he saw him. Sean is half awake and half sleep. He motioned Travis to get inside.
"Looks like someone had a rough night?" Travis teased. Sean glared at him. "Way to ruin my morning. What do you want?" Sean asked annoyed. "Um.. can we have some breakfast first?" Travis asked timidly. "What?! You came here just to have breakfast? Unbelievable." Sean exclaimed.
"No! No! I needed to ask you a favor but.." Travis trailed off. Sean noticed how nervous he is. "Fine. Wait here." Sean said and went to the kitchen. After cooking breakfast he told Travis to go to the dining room and went to wake up Annabeth.
"Hey sleepy head." Sean said as he pecks her on the lips. "Hmm.." She mumbled. "Breakfast is ready. Come on let's go eat." She put her hands on the back of his neck and pulled him closer to her. "What if I don't want to get up? Just come back to bed." She whispered sending shivers to him.
"Sounds tempting but as much as I love to, Travis is outside probably eating all our food." He said. Annabeth groaned. "Remind me later to hit him for ruining our morning." Sean chuckled remembering his thoughts when Travis arrived. He pecks her on the lips. "Go change. I'll wait for you outside." Sean leaves to give her privacy, not that she needed it anymore but still she's a little embarrass thinking what had happened between them last night.
She lazily gets up pulling the covers with her. She finds her undergarments on the floor. She scans the room looking for her shirt when she can't find it. She decided to wear Sean's shirt which is lying on the floor. She grabs a PJ and put it on. She went to the bathroom first and then went outside.
Sean raised an eyebrow at her when he noticed her wearing his shirt. Travis chuckled when he saw Annabeth. "Good Morning Annabeth. Looks like you have a sweet sleep." Travis said teasingly. "Shut up Stoll or I'll kick your ass out of this house." Annabeth threatened. "Jeez guys will you relax." He surrendered.
After breakfast Sean gestured Travis to the living room. "So can you now tell us what you came here for?" Sean asked as he pulled Annabeth closer to his side. Travis nervously glanced to Annabeth as if telling Sean that he wanted to talk to him alone. Sean got the message. He turned to his girlfriend. "Hey Wise Girl, can you umm give us a second?"
Annabeth raised an eyebrow at him. She turned to look at Travis who smiled at her shyly. "Fine." She huffed but she looked at Sean for a second sending him a message. She stands up and walks towards the kitchen.
"So?" Sean started. "Listen, I wanted to ask you a favor." Travis replied. "And that will be?" Sean asked. "Promise me first that you will help me." He pleaded. "No, I won't unless you tell me first." Sean stated. "Please, for friendship sake?"
"Seriously, you're using that? You are so annoying, you know that?" Sean said a little bit annoyed. "I know, actually most of the time." Travis chuckled. "Fine, whatever." Sean replied. Travis grinned at him as he slowly tells Sean about his plan.
Back in Los Angeles
Allie (Nico's secretary) was feeling nervous as he knocks on the door to Nico's office. She heard him say come in. Slowly she turned the knob and let out a deep sigh before walking in. Nico was busy with reading some documents when she came in.
She slowly sits on one of the chair facing him. Nico quickly glanced at her before going back to reading. "What is it?" He asked her. She didn't know how to tell him. She reaches for the picture that she printed clutching at it lightly. Nico stops what he was doing and looked at her confusedly. "I believe you have something to say to me?" He asked sternly.
She nodded. She cleared her throat. "Sir, it's about Percy." Nico was caught off guard. He didn't expect this. "Percy? What about him?" He asked anxiously. "Sir I think we finally found him." She said. Nico's eyes went wide as he hears the news. "Are you sure?"
She showed him the picture. Nico stared at it for a long time. He stiffened at the sight of his cousin who is missing for several months. "Are you sure this is real?" He asked after minutes of silence. "Not quite sir that's why I wanted to show you."
"His hair is longer and he gained a bit but I can see all his resemblance to him. I believe that he is Percy." Allie stated. "How did you get this?" He asked blankly. "It was from my sister in Greece Sir." She answered.
"Greece?" Nico asked disbelievingly. Allie nodded. "My sister's daughter is one of the girls in the picture." She pointed it to him. "Her name is Ashley. Her friend was saved by Percy from drowning. They invited him for a dinner. That's when they took the picture." She stops and waits for Nico to ask her to go on but he was staring intently at the picture.
"His name is Sean Angelo." Allie informed him. "What?!" Nico asked suddenly snapping back at her. "Ashley told her mom that his name is Sean Angelo not Percy Jackson but looking at the picture I strongly believe that he is Percy sir even my sister said so."
"Did your sister know Percy?" Nico asked suddenly. She nodded. "Way before Percy got popular they already met." She started. "How about your niece?" Allie shook her head. "Ashley grew up in London sir before they moved to Greece. I don't think she knows him only Lana did. She knows that Percy is missing because I told her about it when I ask her for help." Nico nodded.
"Sir, do you think it's him?"Allie asked. Nico's eyes were dark for a second but soon it changes back to normal. "We'll soon find out. Where he is exactly?" He asked anxiously. "In Patras, Greece sir. I don't know how he got there." Allie answered. "Are you going to send a private investigator sir?"
Nico shook his head. He thinks for a moment. "Cancel all my appointment next week." He started. "Sir?" Allie asked confusedly. "I'm flying to Greece to find my stupid cousin and bring him back home." He blurted. "Do what I say. Book me a flight to Greece as soon as possible." He ordered.
Allie was surprised about his boss' decision but she knew how close the two are. She knows that they are waiting for this moment to hear any news about him. "For how many sir?" She asked him. "One, I'm going alone."
As soon as Allie walks out of his office, he stared right back at the picture. He studied it carefully. He was positive that it was him. Sean Angelo. He smirked. He had this feeling that Percy used his last name as a cover up but without the "di".
How in the hell did he end up in Greece? He rubs his face. He wanted to call Sally and Kelsi to tell them about it but he stops himself. He needs to make sure first that it is him. He never wants them to expect. They've been through a lot and giving them false hope is not an option.
He leaned back to his chair thinking of his trip to Greece. He hopes that it was him. It's been a year since he went away. He looks at the picture once again. "I'll see u soon." He mumbled to himself.
