Annabeth

Ugh, my head hurts.

My head was throbbing…bad. I opened my eyes, and looked around. I'm in my room. What happened last night?

I couldn't remember anything. It was all a blur. My last memory was of Percy beating Luke up.

"Mornin' sunshine", I looked at the door and saw my dad, smiling widely, then looked at the clock, it was 2 o'clock.

"Hey, dad," I smiled.

He cleared his throat and sat on my bed.

"Care to tell me what happened last night?", he searched my eyes,

and searched,

and searched.

I finally gave in, "I was at a party."

"That all?"

I remained quiet for several seconds and then threw my hands in the air.

"It was a drinking party, and…things happened"

"I'm not proud of what you did…"

"That's where you say, 'but you're forgiven'", I gave him my puppy dog eyes. He laughed.

"Yeah, yeah, but I hope you learned"

"Oh yes I did"

.

"By the way," my dad showed his grin again, "I didn't know you had a boyfriend"

I blushed instantly.

"Caught yourself a diamond, mate" he winked.

"You met him?"

"Yup, he was the one who brought you back from the party, a good guy, I have to add", My dad said giving me the thumbs up.

Unlike my mom, my dad always wanted for me to get a boyfriend. He used to ask me to do other stuff than to just study, have a life, you know what I mean.

"Yeah, he is"

The next five hours were spent talking about Percy and reading books.

I was reading one of my favorite books when I heard my dad call me.

I ran downstairs and saw dad standing by the staircase.

"Hey, someone dropped something for you, its waiting on the dining table…I'll be in my room"

I nodded and walked to the dining table.

I picked up the box that was waiting on the table. I tilted my head, examining the box. Putting it down, I opened the lid only to find a dress folded inside and a note. I picked up the dress. And gods was it beautiful. It was black, strapless and was decorated with shiny sequins. I smiled. Carefully putting the dress back inside, I opened the letter.

To,

My Wise Girl,

Wear this and meet me at the rooftop of XX building at 9.

Love, Seaweed brain.

My smile just grew larger, and I picked up the dress again, hugging it to my chest, twirling around. I checked the clock. 8 o'clock.

I ran upstairs and started getting ready. In about half-an hour I was ready and was looking at myself in the mirror. The dress was perfect, it was knee-length and hugged my curves.

"Hey, dad, can I have your car, for…um sometime?" I asked my dad, leaning against the staircase rail.

"Sure thing, Sunshine"

"Thanks, Dad"

And in almost no time, I was driving to see Percy.

I reached the building and looked up.

Wow, that's tall.

I walked to the elevator and pressed the button that said, 'Roof', on it.

I was smiling all the way.

The elevator finally dinged and the doors slid open. I couldn't see anything, since it was dark outside.

I tried to find Percy, squinting my eyes, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I took out my peppermint spray and aimed at the guy-

"Woah, woah, relax, its just me." It was Percy and his hands were now in the air.

"Oh gods, Percy, don't ever scare me like that again", I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"Yeah, sorry about that"

…

…

"Isn't this place a bit too dark for a date?" I asked, my eyebrow quirking up.

"Oh, this isn't the place," He grabbed my hand. "Close your eyes"

"Why do I have to-"

"Just do it"

"Okay okay sheesh"

"Do not peek"

"I wont"
Percy held my hand firmly and guided me to…well somewhere, I have no idea, my eyes are closed people.

And then all of a sudden he comes to a halt and says, "Okay, now you can open them".

"Finally-"

My eyes went wide and I was gawking, my mouth open in an 'o'.

Words couldn't even describe shat the place looked like. The whole area was candlelit and there was a table in the middle of it all. A vase of roses waiting on top of it. The background was a scene of the most beautiful night-time city ever. Skyscrapers and a starry sky.

My eyes roamed to Percy, who looked absolutely gorgeous. He was wearing a white button-down and grey jeans. His messy hair made him look sexier than ever and his eyes shone with the candles. Hi smile showed his perfect teeth.

I gulped, and looked at the place, then at Percy, then again at the place, finally my head shifting back to Percy. I was speechless. And, in a swift movement I lunged on to Percy and hugged him tight. It took him a while, but he hugged me back, his head resting on the crook of my neck.

"You like it?" Percy mumbled into my neck.

I shook my head, "I love it, " I whispered in his ear, "You never cease to amaze me".

He gave a small laugh and then whispered, "Neither do you?"

I broke the hug, my eyebrow raised in question.

He gave a huge grin, "You look better than I could ever imagine, quite a turn –on, I must say" He winked.

I blushed instantly.

He led me to the table, arm around my waist.

"Madamoiselle", Percy scooted back the chair for me and is sat down, giggling at his failed attempt at French.

We ate and we talked, we talked about ourselves, and I found an important fact about Percy Jackson, he loved blue foods, which his mom always makes for him.

After a lot of talking, Percy stood up and went to some corner. I heard a button being pressed and all of a sudden a song started playing.

Percy came back offering a hand.

"May I have this dance?"

I nodded lightly and smiled, not being able to hide my grin.

I took his hand and stood up. Before I knew it I was in Percy's arms, dancing to the song. The moment lasted long and I couldn't believe it. Percy was amazing, and he was my boyfriend. My grin grew larger.

"I can hear you thinking, Stop" Percy was now looking into my eyes and I felt like drowning into his.

His gaze slowly came down to my lips and he started coming closer until his lips were finally on mine. His mouth tasted like peppermint.

He was licking, biting. He lightly nibbled on my bottom lip and I opened my mouth. His tongue drifted inside my mouth and one brush of his tongue with mine sent chills down my spine. His hand were kept on my hips while mine were playing with the back of his neck. The kiss was long and slow. Percy finally broke the kiss, but that wasn't all. His hand now cupped my face and he descended his lips onto mine again. It was amazing. He was amazing.

I finally broke the kiss, "My dad. I'll be dead if I get home late" I said, my words coming in between heavy breaths.

Percy nodded but continued, I didn't want to stop, and neither did he.

I smiled against his lips and we spent about fifteen minutes in this fantasy before I finally had to go home. I got into the car, thinking of the night all through the ride.
