Hey, first of all, dear readers, thank you! You guys are amazing! 1,519 hits for one story are more than I ever expected. THANK YOU! Second, thank you for the reviews. Thanks for the insight. Really helpful for a first-timer! Okay, I'm gonna reply now to your reviews
Cammie Cassia Chase: Hey! Thank you for your encouraging reviews! I update quick because I know how it feels when you like a story and the updates are so slow. Like how we had to wait for another year for Mark of Athena. :|Oh and the Gallagher Girls Series? I 3 the series. :) Did you read the latest book?
CimFan: Me too! I just loved the cover! Will do. Thank you thank you for reviewing.
SuavePanda: I was so surprised when I saw your reviews. Thank you for the advice. I'll try to apply it. Sorry I'm not really thinking about the grammar when I'm writing. Oh and about Angel and Azure, they were characters from my own AU. :) Hope you like this chapter.
DanielaCristina: Thank you but I hope you would like this chapter.
Oh and to all Percy Jackson fans, check out this YouTube book reviewer: CassJayTuck. You will absolutely agree with her views. Tell me if you watched and what you think of her? Now on to the story… I am sorry if you were expecting so much Percabeth. But let's focus on Jason and Piper.
Piper's POV
Oh, there was another number? Kayla all of a sudden looked in our direction. Please, Aphrodite—Mom, no more "cute-adorable-sweet" moments! I guess my pleading worked because Kayla shouted, "Percy and Annabeth, would you care to enlighten us with a duet?"
Annabeth groaned and buried her face in her hands. Percy muttered something unintelligible. They looked at each other, having a silent conversation. Percy said something like, "We should have expected something like this, though." Aww, how cute! They both shrugged and stood up together. They ran to the stage. When they reached the stage, they seemed to have an argument over something. Probably which song to sing? But since Kayla was nearby with a mic, she practically recorded the whole song. I couldn't believe it. They were arguing over… who got to the stage first.
I was about to laugh at one of Percy's remarks about how Annabeth lost in one of their previous races. Gods, these two were hilarious when they fought. Anyway as I was saying, I was about to laugh like every other demigod in the area when Jason squeezed my hand. Ohmygoodness… we were still holding hands! I squealed inside. Agh, curse my inner daughter of Aphrodite!
Anyway, Jason leaned in and whispered, "Let's go out and walk around."
"Why?" I asked. Percabeth's argument was getting very interesting. (A/N: Am I the only one who thinks it cute when Percy and Annabeth argue then forgive each other?)
"Knowing the two, they'd argue for hours. Plus, I just want to get fresh air." Jason explained.
"Okay, let's go!" I replied and we walked around for five minutes around the camp.
We were pretty much silent. But it was a comfortable silence. I broke the silence just like this morning. "So, Percy and Annabeth. Wonder why no one stopped them?"
"Probably scared. Who wants to face Percy and Annabeth when they're angry?" Jason replied. "I hope we don't turn out like that. You know arguing."
I perked up at that one. "We?" I managed to squeak out. He said us. We. Him and me. He does like me! Ohmygosh! Once again, that was inner Aphrodite speaking.
Jason turned red at this point. "Uh, you know. I just hope that we… don't argue over small things?"
I deflated. Why won't Jason just admit he likes me? But I smiled because he looks so cute when he's embarrassed. Not that I want him to be embarrassed. Ever. I must have been the worst almost-girlfriend at this second. We fell to another conversation about something I cannot remember.
After ten minutes, we reached my cabin. It was curfew already. We were at the porch. Jason all of a sudden asked, "Piper, about us, do you want to be-?" I interrupted him by kissing him on the lips. He got surprised but kissed back. After fifteen seconds or so, we broke apart. "Is that a yes?"
I smiled and answered, "Yes…. I want to be your girlfriend!" Jason just smiled back at me. We stayed like that for a minute before I realized everyone from the Aphrodite cabin was watching from the window. Jason probably noticed too because he mouthed the words, Talk to you tomorrow. I nodded before opening the door of my cabin.
Jason so randomly blurted out. "Don't I get a good night kiss?" I practically squealed inside but I needed to keep my cool. I rolled my eyes and kissed his cheek.
My cheeks were getting rosy from the cold. I rubbed my arms, trying to get warm.
Jason probably noticed because he took off his jacket and handed it to me. "Here, you can have it. Don't want you to get hypothermia like last time." I blushed, remembering how he practically had to hug me to get me warm.
I pushed it back to him. "Nah, you need it more than me."
"Seriously, Piper, just take it. Can't a guy give his girlfriend a jacket?" He replied. We stared at each other with amused glares before I took the jacket and put it on.
"There. Happy?" I asked, trying to act angry, though I could hardly keep myself from smiling. Hello? He called me his girlfriend. I heard a squeal and saw Lacy at the window. "Well, I guess, I really have to go now." I said, stepping into my cabin.
"Yeah," Jason mumbled, smiling at me with that cute grin of his. Oh gods, I still couldn't believe I'm his girlfriend.
"Good night, Sparky." I teased, starting to close the door.
"Good night, Pipes." He took a step backward and left. I closed the door immediately and sank to the floor, playing the conservation over and over in my head. Ohmygosh, I am really officially Jason Grace's girlfriend. When I looked up, I saw Drew, Hannah, and Lacy with smirks on their faces.
So I did what every other sensible head counselor would do to avoid questions about her boyfriend. "Lights off, everyone." I yelled, turning off the lights and ducking to the bathroom.
That night, guess what? I probably had the first dreamless night in months. Maybe it was the warm feeling Jason's jacket gave me. Yes I was still wearing it. Or perhaps that the next day, I would spend time with my boyfriend. (Gods, I loved how that sounded.) Or I don't know that everything was right, for once. And her world was officially happy and she hoped it would stay that way for some time.
THE END
Thank you for reading and that is officially the end of Gotta Be You. :) Don't forget to review. 3 Tell me what you thought of CassJayTuck. And also, I might have a new story. Don't know when. Thank you and happy reading. :)
