Chapter 57
Percy just came back from his morning jog. He woke up a little early in spite of being home late last night. Annabeth was still asleep when he head out. He was considering waking her up to join him but he changed his mind and let her sleep some more. He knows she's been tired from balancing her work and vacation. He wants to argue with her but knowing how hard working his girlfriend is he just tried to understand.
It was a little past 7 when he came back. He went straight to the kitchen to get something to drink. He was exhausted but felt good inside. He greeted Martha who's currently cooking in the kitchen. He was supposed to go upstairs to check on Annabeth when he noticed some of his friends were already awake and playing basketball outside.
Travis, Connor, Nico and Chris were the ones playing outside. Percy greeted them. He went to sit on one of the bench and decided to watch them play a little bit before heading back inside. A little later the game had ended making Connor and Chris winning the game against Travis and Nico.
Travis huffed as he takes a seat beside Percy. Connor shook his head while smirking at his brother.
"Don't be so smug." Travis complained.
Chris and Connor fist bump. "Not our fault that you lose." Connor teased.
"Because you guys played dirty." Nico retaliated.
"Hey we did not!" Chris protested.
"Yes you did!"
"No we didn't!"
"Okay guys break it up." Percy scolded. "It's just a game." He chuckled.
Nico glared at him. He took a seat beside Travis while drinking water.
"You're up early." Chris stated to Percy.
Percy nodded. "Yup just need to get back on tracks."
Chris nodded and took a seat on the floor opposite to them. Connor copied him.
"So where are Charles and Leo?" Percy asked.
"Sleeping." They answered.
Percy chuckled. Typical for Leo but not for Charles.
"So what's our agenda today?" Connor asked. They only have a couple of days left before they are going back to Greece.
"I don't know about you but Annabeth and I can't join you tonight." Percy said smiling.
He got teased by his friends. Nico was just smiling knowing what Percy had planned for Annabeth tonight.
"So you guys have a date tonight?" Travis asked.
"Yup." Percy replied looking proud. "Time to make up for the past couple of months."
"Goodluck then." Chris smiled at him.
"Thanks."
"So where are you taking her?" Connor asked.
"Not telling. It may ruin my surprise."
Connor glared at him. "What? You think I'll tell it to Annabeth?" He asked feigning hurt.
"Yes."
Connor eyes were wide and then he suddenly plastered his mischievous grin definitely an evil idea forming in his head.
"I don't like the look on your face right now." Percy noticed.
"What look?" He asked innocently.
"That.." Percy didn't have the time to finish his sentence because Connor aimed his open water bottle on him drenching him but not only him, but also Travis and Nico who are beside Percy.
The three glared at Connor who was laughing his ass off. But when he noticed the evil smirk on his friends he suddenly got up.
"Okay guys." Connor surrendered. "No need to be violent right now. It was only meant for Percy." He said to Nico and Travis. But the three just look at each other grinning and then they turned to Connor.
Connor was caught off guard when the three suddenly splashed him with their water bottles.
"Oh come on." Chris whined because he wasn't spared.
"Game on!" Connor exclaimed while he grabs another bottle on the table.
Nico went to the nearest faucet and grabs the hose and aimed it at his friends. His friends shrieked when the water hits them.
"Nico!" Percy protested trying to duck away from the water.
Nico was laughing his ass off when he saw that Travis, Chris and Percy were now totally soaked. He failed to notice that Connor was sneaking up behind him. He was lucky enough not to be totally soaked yet.
Connor grabs the hose from Nico which startled the latter. But Nico wasn't giving up the fight just like that. They were both gripping the hose not wanting to let go. They were both soaked in return but they were laughing.
Travis grabs the hose near the pool and aimed it at Nico and Connor. Percy tackles Nico and Connor making them fell near the edge of the pool.
"Get off!" Nico demanded trying to get free from Percy's grip.
"Not a chance."
Connor and Nico joined force to push Percy away from them. Accidentally they pushed him too strong that caused Percy to dive in the pool.
"You jerks!" Percy exclaimed as he came back up to the surface.
Nico and Connor were laughing but their victory was short lived when Chris pushed them to the pool. It was Chris' turn to laugh but then again Travis push him too but with his fast reflex Chris caught Travis arm making him fell with him in the water.
They were shouting profanities against each other. They were trying to tackle and dunk each other on the water. Water splashes everywhere.
"What the hell is going on?!"
They were frozen on their spot. When they turned to look they saw their girlfriends and friends standing at the other side of the pool looking at them with different expressions on their faces.
"It was Connor's fault!" Nico exclaimed when he saw his girlfriend's reaction. Immediately the other guys agreed with him.
"W-What?! No it's not!" He protested.
His friends ignored him and they scrambled away from each other. They rushed to get out from the water.
Eyebrows were raised at them as they finally emerged from the water seeing what they were wearing.
"What were you guys thinking?" Annabeth asked as her boyfriend approached her soaking wet with his shoes on. Well actually all of them are still wearing their shoes.
Percy smiled sheepishly at her. He tried to kiss her but she pushed him away.
"Damn! I've missed the fun." Leo grumbled as he looks at his friends.
Reyna raised an eyebrow at him. "You want to join them?"
Leo grinned at her. "On second thought, no." He replied as he smirked at his friends being reprimanded by their girlfriends.
"You guys are unbelievable." Clarisse scolded. "You can get sick." She scolded mostly to her fiancée who was now standing beside her. "Get inside the house and go get changed."
Said guys hurriedly went inside the house to go change. Their girlfriends were shaking their heads in disbelief. Once Connor passed by Katie's side she smacked him at the back of his head.
"What the hell!" He exclaimed but Katie just smirked at him.
LINEBREAK
Annabeth's POV
Silena was helping me with my makeup and hair for my date tonight.
"Any idea where Percy is taking you?" She asked while doing my hair.
"No idea at all. He was too determined to surprise me."
"Hey it is not bad, to be surprise once in a while I mean." Silena offered. "At least you two can have a moment alone for once." She wiggled her eyebrows at me but I just chuckled.
"Yeah I guess so. I think we needed that after what we've been through."
She smiled at me. "I am happy for you both."
"Thank you."
"So how does it feel like to be dating a superstar? And add the fact that he's the heir of a multibillion dollar company?" Silena asked.
"To be honest, I was terrified of the idea, with all the fame and how rich they are. I thought I wasn't good enough for him."
Silena scrunched her eyebrows at me. "You know those things don't matter to him."
"I know. It's just that you can't blame me for feeling like that. Compared to him I'm just a simple girl from Greece."
"Hey don't sell yourself short. You're a great girl. And Percy is lucky to have you."
I just smiled at her.
"You know what I was scared to meet his family at first. I thought they were like those rich people who are snubs but I was glad they're not like that. He has a wonderful family."
Silena nodded her head. "They love you especially Sally."
Silence engulfed us for a while when she starts doing my makeup.
"You know I never think of Percy's status, to me he is still my Sean, just a normal guy who loves me for who I am."
"Yeah he's so in love with you. He'll do anything for you. Millions of girls will be dying to take your place any time." She teased.
"And I'll do the same for him."
"Aww you guys are so in love." Silena cooed.
"Oh come on, you and Charles is no better."
"True. But yours are different, I just can feel it."
I raised my eyebrow at her but she just shrugged her shoulders not wanting to explain further.
After a couple of minutes, my hair and makeup was done. I glanced at the clock and I still have an hour left before Percy picks me up. I decided to watch Silena do hers. The rest of our friends are going out too for dinner.
"So, how about you?" I asked. "About knowing that Charles is also rich just like Percy?"
Silena just shrugged her shoulders. "We've already talked about it and it's no big deal for both of us."
We chatted some more before she shooed me away to get change.
15 minutes before the said time, someone knocked at the door. When I opened it I saw Percy standing there.
"Hi." He greeted. I caught my breath as I look at him tonight. He was more handsome if that's even possible. He smiled sweetly at me and handed me a single red rose.
I smiled in return and received the rose from him. I pecked his lips. "Thank you."
"You look gorgeous." He said pecking my lips in return and he holds my waist as he looks into my eyes.
Then his gaze went to the necklace that I am wearing. A smile crept into his face. "You still have it." He stated as he meets my gaze.
"I always did. I even wore it sometimes." I admitted.
His eyes were shining and I know why. The necklace is important to him and so it does to me.
We were so caught up in the moment that we failed to notice our guy friends that were just getting out of their room. Someone wolf whistled and we broke apart slightly to look at them.
"Well hello guys." Percy greeted smoothly while I was blushing.
"You two are so sickening in love." Connor commented disgustingly.
Travis just nudged his shoulder. "Hey leave them alone. Let them have their moments." He smiled at us.
I smiled at him. Percy turned to look at me as I laced my fingers with him. "Ready to go?" He asked.
"Just wait for a second. I just need to get my purse." I unlaced my fingers with him and went back inside the room.
When I went back out, Percy was the only one standing in the hallway.
"Ready?" He asked.
I nodded and he offered his hand to me. I gladly took it.
We waved goodbye to our friends as we went our separate ways, them for their dinner and us to wherever Percy will take me.
"So where exactly are we going?" I asked once again but he just smirked at me.
"Not telling." He opens the car door for me but before I can step inside the car he gave me another rose.
I raised my eyebrow at him but he just chuckled and kissed my cheek. He went to the driver's side and hop on.
Once he was inside, he turned to me. "I need you to do something for me."
"What?"
"I need you to close your eyes."
"Why would I do that?"
He pouted. "Please?"
"Not until you tell me what for."
"Please, just trust me."
"You know I hate surprises, right?"
"I know but just this one please?" He pleaded and I can't find the courage to decline.
"Fine." I huffed. He grinned so widely.
"Thank you." He said and kissed me on the cheek. "Now close your eyes."
I did what I was told and he blindfolded me.
"It's better be worth it Seaweed Brain or else.." I threatened him playfully.
He chuckled. "It will I promise." He squeezed my hand before he starts the car.
The drive was short. If I guess right we're not that far away from Nico's house.
"Are we here?"
"Yes."
"Can I take off the blindfold now?" I asked a little irritated.
"Not yet. Hold on for a second." I felt him hop out of the car and he opens the door for me.
He guided me out. He turned me around so that I was facing him, I guess.
He slowly takes off my blindfold and he then handed me another rose.
I chuckled but received it nonetheless. "Thank you again." I smiled at him.
"Only for you." He smiled cheekily.
I was about to turn around to see what's behind me but he stopped me.
"Wait."
"What now?" I asked annoyed.
He smiled at me and took my hand. For a while I took in the surrounding that was right in front of me. We were at the driveway and so we are at a house and the question is whose house?
"Hey." He called to get my attention.
I turned my gaze at him.
"Ready?"
I rolled my eyes at him. "Finally."
He ignored my sarcastic remark. He turned me around and I was mesmerized at what was in front of us. I'm absolutely sure that this house is one of the most incredible houses I've ever seen.
Percy squeezed my hand to get my attention. "Ready to go inside?"
"I.." I stammered. "This is yours?"
He smiled and nodded. "Come on. I want to show you around."
I was speechless and I let him guide me inside the house. Just like what I expected, the house was more beautiful inside. He toured me around and I was so impressed the whole time. One thing was bothering me though and I kept racking my brain about it.
"You okay?" He asked worriedly. "Didn't you like it?" He asked when he was showing me around the pool.
"Yeah, it's just that.." I don't really know how to say it.
"What?" He asked smiling like he was expecting me to react like this.
"The design is so familiar." I admitted. "Who designed this?"
"Why? Something is there something wrong about it?"
"I just want to know."
"You sure you want to know?"
Okay now he was annoying me. "Percy!" I said sternly.
This time he laughs and move closer to me. He cupped my face and looks me in the eye. "You."
"W..what?"
"You, you designed this." He admitted.
I scrunched my eyebrows at him. "Are you kidding me?" I slightly moved away from him.
I saw panic in his eyes. "Are you mad? Oh gods I'm sorry I should have asked your permission first."
"Wait hold on. You really are serious. This is really my design?"
He nodded his head slowly. I can clearly see that his nervous.
"That is why it is so familiar. How did you?"
He cut me off. "Remember when I was still in Greece when you've shown me the design that you want for your future house…" He scratched the back of his head nervously. "I kind of stole it." He said not meeting my eyes.
I crossed my arms above my chest and raised an eyebrow at him urging him to go on.
"Okay I didn't steal it. I kind of borrowed it and made a copy of it." He admitted.
"Why?"
"Because the moment you showed it to me, I made a promise to myself that I will someday build it for you."
My heart melted by his confession. He moved closer to me.
"I'm sorry if I didn't ask for your permission. When I came back here at New York, I decided to make it happen. Even if I wasn't sure then that you'll ever come back to me. I wanted to build something that will remind me of you forever." He explained. "I'm sorry."
How can I ever be mad at him for doing such thing?
"Please say something." He pleaded while looking at my eyes.
I caught him off guard when I closed the gap between us. I kissed him passionately to which he returned a couple of seconds after. When we broke apart he rested his foreheads on mine.
"I thought you're going to be mad at me or worst going to sue me for stealing your designs."
I snorted and started laughing. I hit his chest. "You idiot!"
He soon joined me laughing. "Whew at least now I can finally release the breath that I was holding."
I hug him and rest my head on his chest. "You simply amazed me Perseus."
He groaned. "Not my whole name again." But I can feel him smiling.
I pulled away slightly from him to see his reaction. "If you hate your name so much then why are you smiling?" I questioned him.
He blushed lightly. "Okay you got me. I may have like it when you're the one calling me that." He admitted.
"Really?"
He nodded. "It sounded sweet when it comes to you."
"It's because I'm sweet."
He chuckled but didn't argue. "Come on let's go eat before the food gets cold."
I pulled away from him and pouted. In return he kissed my nose. "You're so cute."
I smiled sweetly at him.
He led me to the garden not far away from the pool. I gasped as I saw what was waiting for us. In the middle of the garden was set a romantic dinner. There were flowers everywhere. A soft music was playing in the background.
He wrapped his arms from behind me. "You like it?"
"It's beautiful Percy. Thank you." I kissed his cheek.
"Only the best for you." He pulled away and led me to the table. He pulled the chair for me.
We ate while chatting, trying to catch up with the things that happened to us when we're separated.
He then stand up and offered his hand to me. "Would you do me the honour of dancing with me baby?"
"I'd love to."
We didn't talk much while dancing. We were enjoying each other's comfort. He kissed the top of my hair. "I love you." He whispered in my ear. I shuddered when his breath tickled my ear.
"I love you too." I sealed it with a kiss.
"Want to continue touring around the house?" He asked after.
"I'd love to."
We toured around the rest of the house, he explained the parts which he modified and I wouldn't be complaining. He did have a good input.
When he was about to show me the master bedroom, he asked me again to close my eyes and this time I didn't argue, anxious to see what was inside.
He carefully guided me inside. "You can open your eyes now."
I slowly open my eyes and he wasn't done surprising me. The room was lightly dimmed to set off the romantic mood. There were petals of red roses beautifully scattered around the floor leading towards the bed.
I turned to look at him awed by the beautiful scene. He just smiled at me. He guided me until we were at the foot of the bed. Right in the middle of the bed, there were petals of roses again but this time it formed a heart shape and right at the middle of it the words I LOVE YOU were formed.
"Oh my gods Percy..."
"Do you like it?"
"It's beautiful. Thank you." I hug him tight.
We stayed that for a while until we both pulled away to stare at each other's eyes. He caressed my cheek while he looks at me lovingly.
"Gods Annabeth you're driving me crazy." He said and crashed his lips into mine.
I return his kisses with the same ferocity. All things were left forgotten as our lips move in sync. His hands went to my hips to pull me closer. His kisses trailed to my neck and he started sucking the skin under my ear causing me to moan.
My hands found its way into his hair gripping it. "Percy..." I moaned.
We managed to take off his coat in between kisses. We pulled away slightly as I started to unbutton his shirt. I can feel his eyes staring at me as I did so. When his shirt was off, he turned me around so that he can unzip my dress. He kisses my neck as he starts unzipping the dress.
When the dress was off, I turned around to face him. I started unbuckling his belt. I felt him shiver when I started unzipping his pants fully aware of the effect I have on him. As his pants drops to the floor he step out of it and grabs me on my hips.
He smashes his lips on me again. My hands went to the back of his head and he lifted me up as my legs wrap around his hips. He carried me to the bed and he slowly puts me down. I felt the coldness of the petals at my bare back.
He hovered above me and started kissing my lips again. I felt his hands roamed around my body. My whole body warmed up at his touch. In return I ran my hands to his chest down to his toned abs. He started kissing my neck down to my collarbone. My hand immediately went to his hair.
I was panting heavily, oh how I missed feeling like this. I gasped when I felt his hand started caressing my breast. I arched my back as he unhooks my bra. He watched me intently as he slide my bra and throws it somewhere. I giggled at his gesture but it was cut short when I saw the way he looks at me.
His eyes were a dark shade of green full of love and lust. His face was flustered and I'm pretty sure mine too.
"You're so beautiful."
I grab his face and pulled him down to kiss me. His kiss trailed down right into one of my breast. He started sucking and I totally lost it. I was moaning so loud as he massaged and sucked my breast. I don't know how long I can hold it anymore.
"Please Percy." I pleaded.
He went back to kissing my lips and I felt his hand tug at my underwear. I help him with it. I was totally naked now and I tug down his boxers in return. He pulled away slightly to get rid of his boxers. He immediately went back to kissing me. I felt his hand massage at my core and I knew I can no longer wait.
"Please take me now."
I didn't need to beg more as he positioned himself right in front of me. He slowly guided himself in. We both gasped as he enters me. He looked me in the eye as he told me he loves me. He slowly started moving in and out of me.
We were completely lost in each other as we moved in sync. The room was filled of the sound of our body colliding, crying each other's name as we both reached our peek. He kissed me on the lips before he rests his head at the crook of my neck. He pulled out and shifted his position so that he won't put his whole weight on me. He turned to his side and I did the same so that we were facing each other.
"You were amazing." He said as he pecked me on the lips and pulled me closer to him.
"Hmm.."
"I love you."
"I love you too." I snuggled closer to him.
Before we knew it we both drifted in a peaceful sleep with a smile on both of our faces.
LINEBREAK
Annabeth woke up to the loud ringing of the phone, Percy's phone. Percy didn't show any sign that he was hearing it. She ignored it trying to block the noise. It did stop eventually but then it started ringing again. She gently shook Percy.
"Percy, wake up."
But he just groaned and pulled her closer to him. She tried again but no such luck. So she eventually gave up and closed her eyes again.
By the time 5th ringing of his phone, Annabeth was already annoyed and she pulled away from Percy. He protested but she reached for his phone to see who was calling him at 7 in the morning.
She saw that Allie was the one calling him. This time she shook Percy with force to wake him up.
"Percy, wake up. You need to take this call."
He groggily opens his eyes to look at his girlfriend. "Who is it?"
"It's Allie." She handed him the phone and she went back lying beside him. She rests her head at Percy's chest as he wrapped his arm around her.
"Hello."
"Jesus Perce, what took you so long to answer?" Allie whined.
"Do you realize that it's just 7 in the morning?" He retorted. "What's so important that you have to call me so early?"
Allie rolled her eyes even if he can't see her. "Because if I don't you'll probably forget it."
"Forget what?" He asked as he played on Annabeth's hair.
"See you did totally forget."
"Allie." Percy whined. "What is it?"
"You're recording your song with Calypso today."
Percy scrunched his eyebrows. "Seriously?"
"Yes."
"But I thought all my commitments are cancelled?"
"Not this one. Since it didn't involve you with a crowd and besides you're fit enough to work."
"Can I cancel?"
"No." Allie said sternly.
"Please? Tell them I'm not feeling so good, that my head hurts and that.."
"Percy." Allie cut him off. "I've already talked to Nico and I'm pretty sure that you are 100% fine. Now don't try to talk me out of it. Be at the studio at 10."
She cut off the call before Percy can even argue further. He groaned as he placed the phone on the bedside table.
He kissed Annabeth's forehead. "Good Morning Beautiful."
"What does she want?"
"She just wants to remind me that I'll be recording the song with Calypso today."
"Oh."
"Yup, sucks though. I don't want to go out today. I just want to lie in bed and cuddle with you." He smiled as he shifted his position to face her.
"That would be nice." She stated as she teased him by running his finger on his bare chest.
He pecked her on the lips. "You keep doing that and you'll be sorry." He warned.
"What?" She asked innocently as she peppered him with kisses.
Percy groaned. "Stop it." He half complained.
"You don't want it?" Annabeth pouted.
"God knows I want it so bad baby." He stated frustrated trying to control himself.
"Then what's keeping you?" She kissed him on the mouth this time determined to break his control.
Percy immediately responded as he hovered above her. "You asked for it." He teased as he went back to kissing her.
An hour later they were both panting and smiling.
"What time you needed to be at the recording studio?"
"10."
Annabeth glanced at the clock and they still have time. She shifted her position lying on her stomach so that she can see him. Percy runs his hand on her back that was exposed when she changed her position.
"So who else knew about the house? That I designed it?"
"Only Nico for now." He said smiling. "I'll tell them eventually so that I can brag how amazing my girlfriend is."
Annabeth snorted. "Yeah right."
"What? It's true. You are amazing and talented in every way."
She blushed at his compliments.
He caressed her cheek. "You're the first girl I ever brought here."
She raised an eyebrow at him. "You mean your mom and Kelsi haven't been here?"
He shook his head. "Actually you're the first person to see all of this."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"I thought Nico knew about it? So you mean he hasn't seen it yet."
Percy shook his head. "Last time he went here was months ago when the construction was still taking place. Actually we were both busy to visit each other's house."
"So you guys decided to build a house at the same time?" She asked amusedly.
'Yeah." He chuckled. "I've told him about the design and that I was planning to build it and he told me that I should go for it. And the funny thing was, the next day he decided that he want to build his own house here in New York too."
"Just like that?"
"Yeah, I thought he wasn't serious. I even mocked him during that time. I thought he was just playing me. But then after a week he showed me the designs and that's when we decided to look for a land to buy and make our dreams come true."
"You guys are unbelievable."
"Insane, actually." He smiled.
Annabeth rolled her eyes on him. She rested her head on his chest again. "Thank you."
"For what?"
"For everything, for not stopping to love me. For waiting for me."
"It's because I just can't just let you go. I love you too much to just forget you." He admitted. "I almost lost my mind during the times when I didn't know where you were."
"I'm sorry." She turned to look at him. "But you should understand that we both needed that."
"I know." He said smiling. "And I'm so happy that we are right here right now. Back in each other's arm and I want you to know that I'm not planning on letting you go." To make his point clear he hugged her really closed.
Annabeth giggled and she tried to break free from him. He tickled her and Annabeth begged him to stop. He eventually stops when she was nearly in tears.
"I hate you." She grumbled when her breathing came back to normal.
"No you don't." He teased as he tried to kiss her but she shoved his face away.
"Oh come on." He pouted. For a while his eyes drifted to the bedside table and he cursed when he saw what time is it.
"Oh shit!" He scrambled out of bed unaware that he was still fully naked.
Annabeth laughs at him. "You might want to put some clothes on." She teased.
Percy glared at her as he put his boxers on. "You do realize that I might be late and Allie will kick my ass for that."
"I'm totally aware of it." She said proudly. "What's the rush anyway?" She teased more as she gets out of bed fully naked. She made her way to him.
"Gods Annabeth put some clothes on." He protested. "You're killing me."
She smirked at him. She bent down to pick her underwear in front of him and she makes sure that he will get the full view of her ass.
"You teased." He complained as he grabs her and hoisted her on his shoulders bringing her to the bathroom with him. Annabeth was just laughing at him. As much as they wanted to spend more time in the bathroom they have to hurry up or Percy will be late.
"Sorry we haven't got to eat breakfast." Percy apologized as he parked his car in front of Nico's house.
"It's okay, partly it was my fault." She smiled at him.
"Partly?" He teased.
Annabeth smacked him on the arm. He chuckled as he kissed her on the lips.
"Are you sure you really don't want to come with me instead?" Percy asked.
She shook her head. "Yes besides you're going to be very busy and I don't want to be a distraction."
"Who said you'll be a distraction?" He scrunched his eyebrows at her.
"Come on just drop it okay. I'll just wait for you here."
"Please?"
Annabeth sighed. "Maybe some other time, but not right now."
He was about to asked her why but his phone started ringing. Allie was checking up on him again. He sighed as he ended the call.
"Okay, I'll just see you later then." He finally resigned as he kissed her on the cheek before hopping down to open the car door for her.
Percy didn't enter the house anymore. He just walked her in to the front porch. He hurriedly kissed her on the lips before saying goodbye because he was running a little late already.
"Drive safely, okay?"
"I will. I'll call you when I get there. I'm going to miss you." He waved goodbye as he went back to his car.
She smiled at him. "I'll miss you too. Now go." She playfully pushed him away. Percy just chuckled as he went to his car.
As Annabeth enters the house, she heard noises in the dining room so she makes way there. She saw their friends eating breakfast.
"Look who's here." Clarisse stated because she was the first one to notice her.
"Good morning guys." She greeted.
Some of them just smirked at her.
"Have you lost your dress?" Thalia teased her as she eyed her.
Annabeth rolled her eyes on her. She was in fact wearing Percy's shirt and sweat pants which are too big for her.
"Have a fun night Chase?" Leo teased.
Annabeth just ignored them as she grabs bread and went to get some coffee.
They eyed her curiously as she takes a seat on the table joining them. Nico was the only one who is not with them.
"What?" She asked when she caught them staring at her. "I haven't eaten yet." She explained.
"Where's Percy?" Charles asked. "Didn't you guys eat first?"
"No. He was running a little late that's why we haven't had time to eat."
"Oh, someone's had too much fun last night." Connor exclaimed.
"One more word Stoll and I'll pour this coffee on your head." Annabeth threatened.
"You're mean you know that." Connor complained. She just glared at him more.
"Where did he go?" Leo asked.
"At the studio, they're going to record the song today." She explained.
"They? As in with Calypso?" Silena asked.
Annabeth just nodded. "Actually he wanted me to come with him but I declined."
"Why?" They all asked her.
She just shrugged. "I don't think I'm up to it."
"Why not?"
"I just don't and besides what am I suppose to do there?"
"To watch your boyfriend and make sure that the bitch won't make a move on him." Clarisse exclaimed.
"Hey now girls, don't try to assume anything." Travis scolded.
"What? Is it bad to look out for your boyfriend?" Thalia asked.
"No but..." Travis tried to explain.
"I say we should go and visit him in the studio." Clarisse suggested.
"I think that's a good idea." Thalia approved.
The guys look at each other and they turned to look at Annabeth.
"Guys we will just going to disturb him."
"Of course not. Didn't he invite you already?" Katie added.
"Yes but.."
"No buts Annie, I'll talk to Nico about it." Thalia offered.
The guys just shook their heads.
"Where's Nico anyway?" Annabeth asked. She knows there's nothing she could do to change their minds.
"Upstairs, changing." Thalia informed her. "He'll be going to the office too."
"I'll tell Percy then that we are going."
"No!" Clarisse and Thalia exclaimed.
"Why?"
"Let's just surprise him and see what he was up to."
Annabeth rolled her eyes on the two girls. She knows what they meant but she truly trusts Percy.
A little later Nico joined them in the room, now fully prepared to go to the office.
"Hey you're back." Nico smiled at her. "So how was it?"
"It's beautiful. You two are good at keeping things." She teased.
Nico laughs. He went to Thalia's side and kissed her on the cheek.
"I'll be going now. I'll see you guys later."
"Babe wait." Thalia stops him.
"Hmm?" He asked.
"We just want to know if we could visit Percy in the recording studio? And maybe tour around your office." She asked sweetly because she knows Nico has a hard time saying no to her.
Nico was surprised. "I didn't know you guys want to do that?" He asked as he looks at the rest of their friends.
"Actually..." Annabeth tried to explain but Thalia glared at her.
"Of course we do. It just didn't occur to us sooner. You guys want to go right?" She glared at the guys.
They just nodded their heads.
"And besides Percy invited Annabeth already." Clarisse added.
"Oh okay then, no problem with me. But I need to head to the office right now since I have a meeting in a couple of minutes. I'll just send someone to pick you up."
Thalia smiled sweetly at him. "Thank you." She pecked his lips.
Nico smiled in return. "An hour, will that be enough for all of you?" He checked his watch. "So that you can watch Percy and Calypso do the recording."
"Yeah." They all agreed.
"Okay then. I'll see you guys later."
"Hey you can't tell Percy that we are coming, okay? We want to surprise him." Thalia added.
"What are you up to now?" Nico asked his girlfriend.
"Nothing." Thalia lied.
Nico just shook his head. "Whatever you say babe."
Thalia waved goodbye to him as he drove away.
"So Annie, ready to meet Calypso in person?"
"First of all don't call me Annie and second I am born ready."
"That's our girl!" Clarisse exclaimed.
"Are you nervous on meeting her?" Reyna asked.
"No." Annabeth lied. Of course she was nervous and she didn't know why.
"Why would she be nervous anyway? Annie is way more beautiful than that bitch."
"But of course." They all agreed.
Annabeth snorted. "Wow thanks for boosting my ego."
"Hey we are just saying the truth." Katie explained.
"Yeah yeah whatever. I still don't think it is a good idea." Annabeth countered.
She was startled when her phone started buzzing, Percy's calling her.
"Not a word." Thalia mouthed to her.
Percy just informed her that he already arrived. By the time they finished taking some of their friends went upstairs already to go change.
Charles and Silena were the only one left. Annabeth just placed her phone on the table not wanting to move.
Charles kissed Silena on the cheek before heading upstairs. Silena went to Annabeth's side.
"Hey come on, let's go get ready." Silena offered.
Annabeth didn't say anything.
"You okay?" Silena asked.
"No. I don't think I can do this."
"Why not? "
"It's just that.."
"Annabeth, Percy wants you to be there and that's all that matters. It can get awkward but don't you think it's time that they knew who's dating Percy?"
"That's exactly what I was afraid of. What if they'll think I'm not good enough for him? What if they'll think Calypso is better for him?" She sound devastated.
"Hey now, don't even think about it. You know better that she is not. Percy loves you and you love him back, that's all that matters. Don't let those things get in your head. Yes Calypso is popular but Percy doesn't love her, he loves you."
Annabeth hugs Silena. She in return rubs her hand on her back soothing her.
"Thank you."
Silena chuckled. "Now come on let's get you ready and surprise your hot boyfriend."
Annabeth snorted. She let Silena drags her away. She was now confident about meeting Calypso in person for the first time.
Okay done! How was it? Too much? Let me know.
Please take time to review! Thanks in advance.
