Chapter Two

Annabeth's P.O.V.

Annabeth's Green Day alarm woke her from a deep slumber. Yesterday she had arrived at her new workplace, a pent house belonging to Rachel Elizabeth Dare and Percy Jackson. She had been led around the stunning penthouse by the exotic Rachel before having some time to settle in. The day had been full of breathtaking sights, but today was when the work began. Annabeth would really be working as a maid.

Pushing aside her cream bedspread, Annabeth stood up on her feet and gazed at the huge mirror across the room. Her half-asleep reflection stared back. Large gray eyes. Wavy blonde hair. Tan skin. Pink lips. Staring at herself, a random thought popped into her head. Am I pretty? Am I as pretty as Rachel?

Annabeth jumped, shocking herself from the trance. Why was she thinking of such things? It was so unlike her! Why would she think such a thing? Why would she compare herself with Rachel?

Deciding to busy herself, Annabeth started getting ready. She changed from her gray pajamas into a white top with gem stones at its collar and a red pleated skirt. White flats went with the outfit. Annabeth usually did not dress so elegantly, but today was her first day of work and she wanted to set a good impression. There was no dress code, so Annabeth decided to look nice.

She stepped into her bathroom and brushed her teeth. Annabeth found herself staring at her reflection once again. Before she knew what she was doing, Annabeth started putting on some makeup. Foundation, mascara and baby pink lipstick. She stopped before she could put on more. Annabeth was not quite girly and hardly wore makeup. So why was she putting it on now? Annabeth blamed it on wanting to make a good impression.

Her phone started streaming music once again, this time Fall Out Boy's "Fourth of July". It was six thirty a.m. and it was time to start work.

Percy's P.O.V.

Percy pushed his covers of and rolled out of bed. Rachel groaned tiredly, he had woken her. She stretched, arching her back. Pulling the covers up to her chest, Rachel face Percy.

"Hey baby," she whispered sitting up and leaning onto her back. She smiled into his neck and murmured, "Did you sleep well?"

Percy hesitated before replying, he had not. But something held him back. Why had he not slept well? His thoughts had been crowded by too many things...

"Ummm… yeah. I did," Percy shortly replied. He stood up, pulling away from Rachel's embrace. He headed over to their closet to get dressed. Today was Tuesday meaning he did not have to go to work today. A black short sleeved tee-shirt and sea green sweatpants would do.

Moving on to the bathroom Percy went to wash his face and brush his teeth. After finishing his daily morning routine, he went for a thirty minute jog.

Percy ran through the streets of New York, dashing past pedestrians and only stopping for red lights. He hoped the run would clear his head from the nightly thoughts. But to his disappointment, it did not work.

Percy opened the apartment door, only to have an aroma of delicious smells attack his senses. Coffee, pancakes, bacon, it all was a sudden burst of warmth. Kicking his shoes off at the front door, Percy followed the smells to his kitchen.

A blonde woman stood at the countertop, preparing a warm breakfast. Percy paused momentarily confused, who was she? But then he remembered. It was Annabeth, his new… maid. He was still getting used to that.

"Hiiii…" Percy awkwardly greeted her.

"Oh, hello! I didn't see you there!" Annabeth announced looking startled. She turned around and leaned back onto the countertop. "How is your morning?"

"Good. I guess. You know you didn't have to make breakfast," Percy randomly burst out the last part. He felt like he was acting a bit weirdly. It was just that being around Annabeth made him nervous. Why was this happening?

"Its fine and Rachel gave me a list of things I have to do. One of them being cooking breakfast for you guys."

"A list?" that had surprised Percy. He didn't expect this much from Annabeth, especially on her first day. To be truthful, Percy really didn't expect much at all from Annabeth. He was not really sure what she should be doing. And Rachel had come up with a list already? That was unexpected.

"Yes. Why?"

"Can I see this list?"

"Um, sure," Annabeth handed Percy a piece of white paper. The list read:

cook breakfast and dinner (you will be instructed on what to make)

keep the house clean

work on weekends when instructed

run errands

assist me and Percy

prepare the house for parties when instructed

*You may be asked to perform other tasks when needed

"Its just Rachel being orderly. You don't always have to do these things. She likes to be on top of things," Percy informed Annabeth. "But anyways… what do you have cooking?"

"A little breakfast. Coffee, bacon, pancakes, just something simple," The blonde went back to working. "Almost done."

"How long exactly?" Percy darted forward and tried to snatch some bacon off the plate. But Annabeth had quick reflexes. She darted forward and swatted Percy's hand causing the bacon to fall onto the counter.

"You will have to wait for that," Annabeth raised an eyebrow at Percy's begging expression.

"Justttt a litttttllleeee bittt!" He was leaning forward again, over Annabeth, trying to grab a piece.

"Hello there," Rachel had moved into the kitchen without Percy or Annabeth noticing. She resided in the doorway, raising one bored eyebrow at the duo. They were dangerously close in Rachel's eyes and their bantering was flirtatious.

Taking the distraction of Annabeth's flustered reaction, Percy grabbed a couple pieces of bacon. "Haa!"

He smiled teasingly before moving to sit on the island's countertop. Looking at Rachel, He exclaimed, "Annabeth's made breakfast and its delicious!"

"That's nice," Rachel came over to Percy and put a protective hand on his bicep. She smiled sweetly at Annabeth, "How was you night? Did you sleep well?"

"Yes, wonderfully. Thank you again, for giving me this job."

"No problem," Rachel smiled. "I'm hoping that your stay here will be eventful."

A/N: SO HEY GUYS! I know this chapter was not very eventful, but again, I am having writer's block annnnnd I want to slowly introduce Percabeth! Sorry if this is OOC, I'm trying. Hope you enjoyed this and tooooo the commentssssss!

IAin'tNoOrdinaryGirl: Luv you girl! Thanks for the suppport ;)

HispanicThug: No problem, if you have anymore questions feel free to ask!

Biaxbm: I am not fully sure on how this story will end (I know, I know. I'm very disorganized.). Percy likes Rachel as a girl friend- maybe a little too much as a friend- and thought he was in love. Maybe he was, but relationships change and things happen. I'm so happy you like the story so farrrr!
