Chapter 9: A Cute Little Story

Annabeth POV

At around seven PM, I managed to stop crying. I told Percy what happened and he acted like he already knew. We were still on the bed but my back was against his chest, his arms wrapped around my waist.

"My mom came in earlier. We should go explain." He simply said after nodding. I nodded. I still didn't trust words to come of my mouth. Percy got up and had to remove his shirt due to all the tears on it.

"Sorry about your shirt." I said in a raspy whisper.

"It's okay, no big deal, it's just a shirt. It's not like this is the first time-" he cut himself off and acted as if he said to mach.

"What do you mean it's not the first time? It's not the first time your shirt gets drenched in tears, or it's not the first time of what?" I asked curiously. He glanced at me and then back to finding a shirt in his closet. His green eyes showed pain.

"Your first guess." He said quietly and I could tell the conversation was over.

-line break-

After eating dinner and explaining what happened with my friend, Mrs. Blofis had tears in her eyes.

"Dear, are you sure your okay? Do you need anything? Anything at all?" she asked me like a mother should.

"No, that's quite alright, Mrs. Blofis."(Minus for the word Blofis I quoted that from harry potter! Did you see it? I think luna says it…) I said.

"Ok then, but please call me Sally." She said patting my shoulder.

"Ok then, Sally. Thanks." With that I made my way upstairs. As I walked into my room it tried not to look at a picture of Selena, Reyna, and me. How could it be that I will never see that beautiful girl again? How could this happen? Those two questions were bugging my brain, and stinging my eyes.

I was angry at Selena, why did she go walking to somewhere in the middle of the night alone, huh, why? As much as I was angry at her I was sad that the questions above kept all my happiness, like these past few days with Percy, cornered. Even with all this, I was determined to keep my promise to Selena, Percy would be mine.

"Knock, knock?" Percy said from my closed door. I jumped, leaving my train of thought behind.

"Come in," he came in ad set next to me our backs on the wall.

"Oh, nothing much. My mom just told me that we won an all expense paid camping trip for this weekend and she would like to invite you, but yeah, nothing much." He said smiling. I felt my lips twitch, he could always make me smile.

"Oh, really?" I asked. I had never been camping, I haven't even tried a smore, let alone sleep in the woods.

"Yeah, a guy called her and my parents are all excited and stuff. Zack, he's in the Boyscouts, is screaming his little head off with joy right now. Coral's fine with it, but not super-duper excited." He replied smiling at the mention of his brother.

"How come?" I asked.

"Bad experience involving me saving the day, a cub bear, a mama bear, some honey, and quite a couple bee stings." He laughed at the memory.

"Why, what happened?" I asked smiling in spite of my grief.

"Well, we were near a lake and Coral and I were swimming when she spotted a bee hive that had fallen on the floor. Our parents weren't there. She was 7 at the time, I was 12, and Zack had been born that year. We left him with Paul's parents for the weekend. But anyway, she went to the fallen hive and said that it probably had honey in it. I tried to stop her but she grabbed a stick like she was going to hit it when a little, adorable cub came from behind the tree. Quickly, I grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her behind another tree. I knew that if there was a baby, there would be a mommy. We heard some twigs snap behind us and turned around, just like in the movies but without the dramatic music." He paused to catch his breath and laugh.

"Then guess what happened? The mama bear was behind us on her two back feet, staring down at us, almost 8 feet tall. I tried not to panic, it was hard. Coral pulled me from there and we ran, accidently forgetting the fallen bee hive and tripping on it. It broke. We ran to the lake as fast as we could, the angry bees on our trail. As soon as we were within jumping distance, I picked up Coral, and jumped into the lake." He said catching his breath again.

"What happened?" I realized I sounded like a kinder gardener who wanted to hear the rest f a story.

"You're really into this aren't you?" he laughed, a deep melodic sounding hearty laugh. I just smiled and gestured him to go on.

"Well, we ended up with a couple of stings. Since we were wearing bathing suits at the time we were more exposed. I ended up worse than my sister. I had a sting here," he pointed to just above his left side hip, "here," he pointed at his ankle, "here, and here." he pointed to the bottom of his foot and then at the base of his neck right above his collar bone. "My sister on the other hand only got two on her legs and one on her hand. To top it all off our parents didn't know whether to be angry at us or to laugh at our stupidity." He ended with a smile. I looked over to him. He was looking at my face, watching my reactions. Our faces were just 2 inches apart.

"So the bees bit you here." I said putting my hand on his collar bone.

"No, they bit me here." He put took my hand gently, still looking at my face, and put my hand in the correct spot. When I looked up, our noses were touching. I leaned in, never have I ever wanted to kiss him more than right now.

When our lips met, the kiss was gentle, passionate, but with less hunger than the other ones. This one had more…love.

Percy POV

"You two should really put locks on your door." Me and Annabeth broke apart and looked up. Coral was smirking with her arms crossed, standing by the door. Why did she have to interrupt this moment, why?

"You should really learn to the meaning of knocking." I said.

"Well, I know what it means but I am pretty sure I will never learn how to use it. Usually, not knocking results in blackmail material." She said now smiling.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Oh? I don't know? Let's see, how 'bout this. In order of me keeping the secret, you become my personal chauffer for the rest of the week, and I get a tent all to myself when we go camping." She smiled evilly.

"Fine, but this never happened."I said.

"Deal." And with that she left swinging her hair as she did.

"Does this happen often?" Annabeth asked next to me.

"More than you think." I turned around to find that she had been thinking the same thing I had. We continued our kiss where we left it off.

(I loved absolutely loved writing that! It reminds me of the hunger games.)

-line break-

For the rest of the week, Annabeth slept in my room. I ended up being a chauffer 24/7 but it was okay by me since Annabeth came along. She had recovered from Selena's death and now ony let loose the occasional tear.

Our relationship was still untitled and stuff but we had only kissed one other time after my sis barged in. It had happened yesterday. We were shopping when Annabeth tried on a pretty dress, my sis had picked out for her. She was off looking for more while I waited outside of the dressing room. When Annabeth came out she looked delighted. She was wearing a beigish white dress that had a light brown belt above the waist. It was cut so that the back was longer and the front finished mid-thigh. She looked gorgeous. I went up to her and said my thoughts aloud.

"You look gorgeous, wow…" she smiled and twirled. She tripped over her foot though and I ended up catching her by the waist. I stood her up and she did something that I had never expected her to do in a thousand years. She pulled me into the dressing room.

"Thanks, can you unzip me?" she turned around and lifted her hair up. I unzipped her and my hand went dangerously close to her lower waist line as I did so.

"Thanks." We stood there for a few minutes and then she grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and crashed her lips to mine.

Afterwards, we had trouble convincing Coral that I was only helping her with the zipper. Today was Friday and at 4 we would leave for Virginia. It was a 6 hour trip and we would be staying in a hotel tonight, then leaving for our campsite as early as possible.

I was excited. What better way to admit that you like a girl and ask her to be your girlfriend than a night in the silent woods, with the stars shinning bright above us?

Of course, it didn't exactly go as I planned.
