I get a week of peace

Percy's POV

When I finally woke up, I heard hushed voices. I turned my head slightly to see the gods debating and Annabeth was watching my contently while her hand stroked my cheek. "Percy!" she whispered. I guess she wanted to be the first one to crowd me. "Percy, are you alright?"

"Yea," I croaked. "I'll be fine, I just shouldn't move around for awhile."

"Do you want me to get you anything?"

"Water please." Annabeth got up and brought me back a nice cool cup of water which I drank slowly to ease her. She just gazed at me for awhile and I did the same to her. Then we heard footsteps only to see my father, Poseidon, standing next to her.

"Annabeth, we have no choice, we have t- Percy?!"

"Yea Dad, I'm still here, I was just careless last time I got up. Trust me, I won't be dying anytime soon." He nodded and went back to the meeting. Annabeth got up and hugged me tightly, then sat back down. As soon as she did, all of the gods came into the room.

"Percy?" Aphrodite asked. "Are you sure that you're alright?"

"Yes, you of all people should know the answer to that question," I replied. She just stared down at the ground and blushed while the other gods had confused looks on their faces. You know, for gods they sure aren't as smart as people give them credit for.

"Since you're alright Percy, we shall end our earlier discussion. We shall give you one week of peace and recuperation. Nothing will disturb you, not the gods, not monsters, nothing will come to your doorstep unless you will it to," Zeus exclaimed without enthusiasm.

"Thank you Lord Zeus, I appreciate this."

"Very well, we shall take our leave."

"Annabeth," Athena said. "Time to go."

"I would like Annabeth to stay here with me if that's alright with her?" I asked. She blushed and nodded. Athena looked furious but retreated. Her last words were

"Do not do anything foolish son of Poseidon," and with that she disappeared along with the rest of the gods.

After I was sure that she was gone I asked Annabeth, "Hey Wise Girl, what do you want to do? I was kinda thinking a movie or something."

"Ok," she replied. Her face had turned bright red as if she was blushing but I couldn't tell why.

"Alright, I'll go check what movies are out and the times, unless you want the pleasure," I teased.

"Sure, but are you sure you be moving like this. We have an entire week to do things, aren't you rushing things a bit?"

"Annabeth," He used my name she thought. "You travel all the way from California to come see me on my death bed, I'm fine now, and I don't know how long you have until you have to leave. I want to go to the movies with you," he sounded like it was a date.

"Ok," she raised her hands in defeat. She walked back into my headquarters(A/N the living room) and told me what was in theaters at the time. We decided to go and see Defiance, which was a movie about Jewish people fighting for their independence. It started at 9 p.m. It was 5 p.m. right now so we had plenty of time before it played. We watched T.V. mostly, and did I mention we wrestled. It was fun, she tried to pin me down but since I was now three inches taller and loads stronger, I quickly turned it around and she was the one being pinned. Once I had her, I didn't let her get up. I just gazed into her gray eyes. She did the same thing. We stayed in this position until I realized I was leaning down on her now. I could tell she was blushing. I was inches away from her lips when my mom unexpectedly walked in. I didn't notice of course.

"Percy?!" my mom shouted.

"AHHH! Umm, hey mom, watcha doin," I weakly replied. My mom had a grin that spread from ear to ear.

"My question Perseus Jackson is, what are you doing?" She caught me.

"Ummm, Wrestling," she wasn't reassured. Annabeth sat up. Her face was the color of a tomato.

"Ok Percy, whatever." My mom walked out of the room. I knew that as soon as I went to sleep tonight, my mom would wake Annabeth up and have a chat. Uhhhh, just the thought of it.

"Sooo, Percy, I know it's a little early, but do you want to leave soon? We could get dinner on the way and not have to pay for any concessions," Annabeth asked. Dang, she was still blushing.

"Ok, just let me get a shirt and some shoes on."

"That reminds me, let me change your bandages, I don't want you bleeding in the theater. " I sat there quietly while she undid my red stained gauss and put new white ones on. I looked part mummy. Her face looked lightly pink.

After she finished I pulled on a nice polo and my shoes and we started out the door. I actually remembered to bring my wallet which had my savings from working at a local H.E.B. for the last half year. I had about 1,000 dollars give or take. I decided I was going to take Annabeth somewhere nice.
