Hi y'all!
I was thinking maybe tell you beforehand that this whole chapter will be in Annabeth's POV, as the place and the plans were all a secret for her.
Now, let's start the chapter
*drumroll*
It was a long drive, about half an hour or so, I think more than that, yep way, way more than that. Throughout the ride, I was tightly hugging Percy, it was scary, but fun at the same time. It was a long time after which I opened my eyes, to actually see my surroundings, though I didn't pay much attention to it, the only thing I was thinking about was Percy.
Percy, on the other hand was paying more attention to the road ahead.
Truthfully, it was fun.
I was lost in my thoughts when I saw that Percy had stopped the bike. He got off and helped me off too.
"We'll just have to walk a bit from here", he stated, smiling at me.
I nodded and started following him, I was again swallowed by my thoughts when he suddenly stopped, making me bump into him.
"Oh, sorry, are you alright?" he apologized, looking concerned.
"um, yeah, I'm fine, it was my fault, sorry"
He shock his head and opened his mouth to say something when he stopped at the sight of my reaction.
I was no longer looking at him, but behind him. The place was beautiful, extraordinary. It had trees surrounding the sides, a river flowing fast and just behind the river, mountains decorated the scenery and amidst it all, a blanket with lit candles and a picnic basket.
"Do you like it?" he asked, waiting for me to say something.
"I-It's amazing", I was at loss of words now.
"I'm glad you like it, this is my favorite place" Percy said, leading me to the blanket. "The sunset here is amazing"
I was speechless, this was amazing, he was amazing.
"Thanks, I love it" I finally spoke, blushing, he gave a small chuckle and said, "It's about time"
I was confused, "about time for what?"
"For that", he scooted closer to me and pointed to the mountains, where I saw the sun was setting, leaving a dark and orange sky, seriously, it almost brought tears to my eyes.
Percy and I talked, laughed, ate and told each other…well, about ourselves, like I was able to ask him what his favorite color was, why he moved here, he also told me about his parents and his sister, I smiled when he described them, they seemed like an amazing family.
Finally our talk led to him asking, "Do you like me?", talk about random, then he gave a deep chuckle saying, "What am I asking?"
"Well I don't hate you", I teased, making him smile.
"what about you?" I asked raising an eyebrow, "Do you like me?"
"Yep", he said, popping the 'p'. Butterflies in my stomach started fluttering, dancing around.
"I don't even know how I came to, you are a goody", he said smiling again.
"Am not", I punched him on the shoulder, "I don't why I started liking you too, you're an a**hole".
"So you do like me", he laughed.
"I never said that"
"you did"
"I didn't"
"Did"
"Didn-", I was interrupted by the small fireflies flying around, "Fireflies!" I jumped and tried catching one, but apparently, it flew away, I pouted. At that, Percy laughed and took a firefly in his hand showing it to me.
I smiled and said, "So beautiful", I had never seen fireflies in real life.
"yeah, it is", He said, looking into my eyes. Slowly, he walked towards me. He was going to kiss me.
AAAAAAAH
I reluctantly closed my eyes. And as my eyes closed shut, his lips brushed mine.
At first the kiss was delicate and sweet, it was amazing, better than the first kiss I imagined, his hands were now tightly holding my waist. Slowly, the kiss turned more fierce, and I lifted my hand up to his neck, pulling him closer, until our bodies were almost crushed together. Now, I was running out of breath, I moaned, and he pulled away, our foreheads still touching. I could see his eyes, and trust me, they were breath-taking up close. We were both panting out of breath.
After what seemed like forever, he said, "Let's go, I don't want your parents to kill me." He said, smiling.
"Way to ruin the moment, Jackass." I said, giggling a bit.
He laughed, "Sorry, I just want to live a little longer."
We finally pulled away and Percy blew away the fire on the candles.
I jumped onto his bike after him and we finally reached home. I checked my watch and it was already 9. Percy gave me a little peck on the lips and then drove off.
AAAAAH , MY FIRST KISS WAS A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. TOTALLY WORTH IT.
I opened the door with smile on my face, and tiptoed past the corridor, only to find my mom sitting on the dining table, shooting deathly glares at me.
Sh*t.
