Chapter 10: Control
Annabeth POV
Percy and I were sitting in the back of the family's mini-van. Coral and Zack were sitting in the middle seats that were closest to the mini-TV that hang from the ceiling. They were watching Zack and Cody: Suite Life on Deck. Percy was sitting in the window chair and I was forced to sit in the middle so that all the stuff fit in the car. Sally and Paul had told us that our location had rock-climbing(though we probably weren't doing any), a river, plenty of acres of forest and a certain area of the park had rope swings that threw you into deep sections of the river. Percy, Zack and I were excited. Coral was ok with it.
As we drove on the 895 to Virginia Percy kept his eyes glued to the window.
"What's so interesting Seaweed Brain? You're not usually this quiet or has the view stole your tongue?" I asked him. He looked over to me and smiled.
"No, I'm just thinking." He said.
"About what?" I asked.
"About, you know, stuff." He answered with a small smile on his lips.
"Actually, I don't think I do." I replied to his oh so very logical reply.
"Just some stuff, Wise Girl." He said and looked back to the window. I took that as the end of the conversation. I watched the tv for a while but then my eyes wandered to Percy.
I couldn't help but stare and lose myself in a number of wishful thoughts. I looked up to his eyes, as he stared at the farms and cars and forests passing by. I glanced at his kissable salty lips that mine were pressed up against in oh so few occasions. I looked up into his messy raven black hair and couldn't help but want to push it out of his eyes.
Before I knew it though, my hand was already out of my control. As I brushed the hair out of his eyes he turned to me and I blushed, pulling my hand back. Good thing everyone else was doing something like driving, watching tv, and playing on their phones.
Percy leaned nearer to me and whispered in my ear, "What was that for?"
"Nothing." I whispered quickly and he pulled back.
"Well don't stop, I liked it." With that he put his head on my lap and closed his eyes while my hands kept playing with his hair. Eventually he fell asleep and I saw some drool forming in the corner of his mouth. I laughed and wiped it away with his shirt. At some point the others noticed our position and I told him that he had been leaning on my shoulder and his head was really heavy so I let him put his head in my lap. Paul and Zack just shrugged. Sally looked knowingly from me to Percy and Coral smirked. At this I blushed and glared half-heartedly at Coral.
As the summer sky started to turn black Percy was snoring. I laughed quietly. He is such a seaweed brain. It was taking all my willpower to not kiss Percy right now. He looked so peaceful and without that trouble maker smile plastered on his face looked adorable. Soon I fell asleep with my head on my own shoulder my hands still in Percy's hair.
-line break-
"Annabeth, wake up Sleeping Beauty." I heard a voice say. I opened my eyes. Percy was sitting up beside me. I realized that he had probably woken up and got up from my lap because right now I was the one leaning on him.
"Don't call me sleeping beauty...are we there yet?" I mumbled and he chuckled.
"Nah, I just felt like waking you up." he said
"What?"
"Chillax Wise Girl! I'm just kidding. Yeah were at the hotel. It's like 10 pm and I already carried Zack to his bed and I don't really wanna carry you too. I'm about to collapse." he groaned and I got up. It was just Percy and me, everyone else was probably already inside. He locked the car and grabbed my hand while leading me too the front desk where his mom stood there arguing with the clerk.
"What do you mean you only have one room left? We made reservations yesterday!" she said.
"Sorry mam, someone paid a large amount of money for that room, those two will have to stay in a separate room three floors above." the clerk said.
"Fine but I demand you make it 10% cheaper!" Sally said then grabbed a key from his hand and handed it to Percy.
"Fith floor, there is only one bed but the couch will have to do for you, let Annabeth have the bed. Put your alarm for 7, and be ready and full by 8. No funny business you two." with that she kissed Percy on the cheek and headed for the stairs.
"Well, we should go." Percy said probably trying to break the awkward silence that had fallen between us. I nodded and we made our way to the 5th floor.
When we arrived at our room me and Percy both stopped in our tracks. It only had a one bed, a small love seat and a desk. No sofa or anything. I know we slept together before but there were always parents below us. I just felt kind of weird and I could tell that Percy felt the same way.
"Well, I am gonna change." Percy broke the silence as he removed his shirt and threw our bags on the love seats. He opened one of the bags but realized to late it was mine. I saw his face go from tired to smirking. He picked something up and turned around. It was my favorite bra. Sea green and lacy. You may be thinking it has something to do with his eyes but I had loved the color even before Percy.
"I like your braw." He said and I felt my cheeks getting so red that I probably looked like a tomato.
"Put that down!" I stomped up to him and tried to take my bra. He put it high above his head and I couldn't reach it.
"Give it to me Percy! Please!" I was still as red as a strawberry. As I tried to reach for my braw the hem of my shirt lifted up and my belly button showed. My belly rubbed against Percy's bare chest and I felt myself shiver. I looked down and Percy stopped wiggling my bra as he too shivered at the contact. He looked down and the next thing I knew our hormones had completely taken over.
Percy took my face in his hands as he threw my bra on the floor. Our lips were together in hunger and passion once more as my hands traced his chest. His hands made their way under my shirt but suddenly stopped before my ribs. He also stopped kissing me. I pulled away.
"What's wrong?" I asked as I looked at those green eyes filled with lust..
"I'm sorry, I can't. Not here, there's too much temptation, I wouldn't be able to control myself, sorry." He grabbed a pair of sweats from his bag and locked himself in the bathroom. I just stood there in shock.
I had that effect on him?
Percy POV
I shut the bathroom door behind me and almost broke the sink counter as I quietly slammed my hands down on it. I turned on the faucet and washed my face. Water always helps.
There had been a moment back there where my thoughts had gone insane. My brain was clouded with lust and I could barely keep my hands from going up her shirt. As soon as I realized this I used all my willpower to stop. She's not even your girlfriend, my head scolded me for a couple of inappropriate thoughts that popped in my head.
I suddenly visualized Annabeth in that silky green bra. Stop it! My brain fought for concentration. Wait until you ask her out tomorrow evening! Then you can kiss her as often as you want! I put my hand in my pocket.
There in a little silky small bag was a grey little pearl that I had found one year at the beach. I had gotten it placed on a necklace for Red but it seemed perfect for Annabeth since the pearl was the color of her eyes. I had also added two small sea green jewels that hung on either side of the grey pearl. The chain was simple and silver. I was hoping to give it to her sometime when we started dating. I didn't know when but I was pretty sure she would like it.
I stopped fidgeting with it and put my sweats on. I exited the bathroom, not even looking up, and put my jeans in the bag. I quickly removed the necklace from the pocket and stuffed it in my bag's side pocket. I headed for the love seat. I wanted to sleep there so that I could get my emotions in check. When Annabeth left the bathroom, it was now like 10:40, she saw me lying on the coach just starig up at the ceiling.
"Get up, Seaweed Brain. You're not sleeping there." She said bossily as she slipped under the covers of the bed.
"And where am I sleeping?" I asked, back to my cool self.
"I don't know… you could sleep on the floor. I heard that's usually where the dog sleeps." She raised her eyebrows and gestured toward the fluffy carpet next to the bed.
"Sorry, but I think the bed will have to do." I got in and she instantly cuddled with me.
"Good night Seaweed Brain." She yawned. (You know what's soo funny? Everytime I write "she/he yawned" I yawn too. He He!)
"G'night Wise Girl…" I quickly hid the urge of adding three more words to that sentence.
There it is! Cute! I know not that many important things happened in this chap but now we're going camping! That will definitely be a long chap!
I have a couple of IMPORTANT questions for you guys:
you rather option 1 happen or option 2 happen?
1. Percy gets them lost in the woods somehow and Annabeth gets mad then they make up (this option is: Funny, My Favorite, Will be longer, And veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy romantic!)
Or
2. Everything goes perfectly and they end up with a little adventure in the woods, and all that mushy awesomeness! (this option is: slightly shorter, funny, romantic, and isn't my favorite although I know exactly what would happen if I used it.)
B. Do you want some family bonding time during the camping trip?
Smores, bike riding, descriptions of awesome forests, Coral, Percy, Annabeth and Zack minor bonding adventure(would be pretty funny), swimming, stuff like that (BTW: I would really enjoy writing that since although I have no sibling I have been camping many times with my bike, rock-climbing equipment, and all that awesome adventure coolness!)
C. When do you think Percy should give her the necklace?
I already had a small plan but maybe one of you could have a better idea!
D. Should Annabeth get hurt if they get lost and Percy play the hero?
It's just an option that I am really considering.
To answer these questions REVIEW like this:
A. Option 1 tottally! I love the idea!
B. Tots!
C. I dunno, their anniversary? Like make percy act all romantic and stuff!
D. I think that could be a good idea.
If you r smart than you will have realized that these questions will probably get me 150 reviews!
Thanks a million
Love
