Percy's Point of View
I have a girlfriend! how could I possibly let my professor kiss me. Wait, do I really want to stay here if she acts like this? I mean, she does seem to have a pretty hectic life. However, the thing that bugs me the most is that my father never said anything about her being so, umm, different. Plus, he didn't seem to know anything about her daughter either. Well, since I start work tomorrow, I should probably get some sleep.
When I woke up Monday morning, I found myself smelling, bacon? I really don't know how I managed to get completely ready for the day in less than five minutes, but I think, somehow, my body sensed the awesomeness of bacon. After a quick mad dash to the kitchen, I found that my nose didn't lie. "Hey Percy," Chantal said with a smile,"Get over here before your breakfast is gone." A few minutes and 5 pieces of bacon later, Chantal began to talk again. "Percy, before we head over to my lab we need to drop Natanya off at day camp and pick up several things at the store. And we need to drop off you rental car at the airport. So, can you be ready in 10 minutes?"
"Of course," I replied, but inside I was thinking, she sounds like a regular soccer mom, I bet she has a mini-van. Okay, so that might be kind of mean to think, but I am stuck living with someone of questionable age and (decency), as well as a slightly neurotic 5 year old." 10 minutes later… I walked outside to their two story garage (rich people, gotta love 'em) to find my rental car parked next to maybe five back- breakingly expensive cars, and of course a resident driver. "Where to today Miss," questioned the stodgy old driver. "Bernard, I am going to drive today, however, could you please pick up Natanya at 3:30 today. I have work until 4:00 today." "Of course Miss," he said before disappearing into an unseen room.
Chantal's POV
Once Natanya had been dropped off at camp, Percy and I decided to talk a little about the sea. He really seemed to perk up when I mentioned the aquarium, and then I knew he'd be the ever spunky intern. Since he was the son of the sea god, this job should come easily to him, however, he still had a lot to learn. After several hours of looking under microscopes, reading labels, and just general blahh, we had gone over just about everything he needed to know. The kid did so well, that I almost didn't laugh when I saw him talking to dolphins over his lunch break.
"What's so funny about talking to fish?" "Oh nothing," I responded, " it's just that you, well, TALK TO FISH." The moment he heard me finish, he burst out laughing. I mean, he was so loud that some of the fish seriously looked over at us. "You are the weirdest person I have ever met, are you sure you're a teacher?" he questioned playfully. "Of course I am," I retorted with a smirk. Then I swiftly took of my lab coat and skipped away "like a little schoolgirl."
Hey, sorry for the delay, I had work. Hope you enjoyed it, and a new chapter will be up soon, with much more drama, twists, and turns.
XOXO
