Ch.4 It is Good to be Home
Disclaimer-cry PJO's sob, sob not weep mine.
"Why'd you kiss me?" she asked. I was caught off guard.
"What?" I was trying to make her forget. It was so impulsive of me to kiss her so randomly. I just wanted to kiss her so bad. I couldn't help myself.
"I think you heard me, Seaweed Brain. Why'd you kiss me?" She smiled. My cheeks flared red.
"Umm, well, you could say it was half-impulsive and half something else." I looked down.
She gave me a look. "Half what else?"
"Well, you gave me a hug and it kind of felt right to peck your cheek afterwards. I'm sorry." I stared into her eyes.
"Hey, you don't need to apologize, Percy. I didn't say I didn't like it." Now her cheeks were bright red, too.
"Oh. Okay. Well, uh, yeah. I guess that's good." I said.
"Oh my gods, Percy. Just kiss me already." I listened to her. I kissed for the second time in one day. This time, however, I kissed her on the lips. When we pulled apart, we were both beaming. I grabbed Annabeth's hand and walked her to her cabin. She leaned in to kiss me at her door, then turned, winked, and closed the door.
I turned around to see Thalia clapping. "What a show, Seaweed Brain. So you're digging on Annabeth now, huh?"
I just stared at her for a moment. After that, I nodded.
"Man, too many things have gone on since I left for the stupid Hunt. I feel so behind." She blinked. "Anyway, spill. I want the details on you and the wise girl."
I laughed. "Nothing yet."
"Oh, don't feed me that line of nectar, Percy. She just gave you the sting, man."
"She was just messing around." I said.
"Yeah, I know. But still, there is something going on between you guys. Oh, and don't think that I didn't see you kiss her this afternoon. It was so obvious. Even Chiron noticed."
I was blushing again. I could feel my face getting warmer. "Really, you saw that?"
"Oh, no I was just kidding…yes! I most definitely did. Are you guys dating?" She muttered to herself, "Good thing she didn't join the Hunt." I ignored that comment. "I'm not going t say it again, Percy, spill."
"Okay, well, I kissed her this afternoon. Then she said just a little while ago, 'Just kiss me already.' So I did. Then, I walked her to her cabin and saw you."
"That's only today. There's been sparks going on between you guys for a while. Talk." She looked at me expectantly.
"Umm, I just got back at camp a few days ago. So, no, there's nothing else." I thought about our game of twenty questions. "Hey what's your opinion on Calypso?"
She looked like she was in deep thought. "Hoe, definitely. She goes around seducing men like she's something special. I just think that she's a waste of space. Oh, and a hoe, definitely a hoe."
"Yeah, I get it. You think she's a hoe."
"Well, you asked. Why did you ask anyway?"
"Well, I met her. Annabeth hates her I was wondering what you thought about her. I guess you are guys on the same page. So anyway. Do you think that me and Annabeth will work out?" It was kind of awkward talking to Thalia, another girl, about Annabeth. I guess I got over it.
"Oh, don't tell me she, and by she I mean Calypso, got you into her clutches." The look on her face was a look of complete disgust.
"Oh, no." I lied to her. "I thought she was fake."
Thalia looked at me suspiciously. "Good. Even with your seaweed brain, I know you are not that stupid." She laughed. I tried to laugh, too, even though I didn't feel that way about Calypso. "Well I better get going, we're going to miss curfew. I'd walk with you to our cabins, but, uh, I don't want you to attack me with your lips like you did Annabeth." She laughed as she walked away. So did I.
I walked through my cabin door and laid down in my bed. Gods, it's good to be home.
I woke up to Annabeth's smiling face. "Hey, Sleepyhead."
"Annabeth?" I said, still half asleep.
"Yeah. Get up, you already missed half of your first lesson. How late did you stay up last night?"
"I don't even know." I smiled back at her. I really do like her.
Okay, I need another ten reviews before I update. So read & review!
