The new couple go on an underwater adventure
Percy's POV
This was just plain awkward, but it felt right at the same time. I just couldn't help but put my arms around her. She seemed to enjoy it so I didn't let her loose; I held onto her for what felt like an eternity. She cried a few times because of some sad parts and I put pulled her closer to me, but besides that, we were quiet the entire time. Half the movie, I would look at her and stare for what felt like forever.
When the movie finally ended, she took my hand and led me out of the theater. We drove home talkatively. We talked about what part of the movie we liked best, which part was the saddest, etc…, and we held hands the entire time. It was the best feeling I've ever had in my life. "That's, it Percy, give in to the feeling," the annoying voice said.
You again, I replied.
"Percy, I know you love her, and I know she loves you, just admit your feelings to her; by the way, Annabeth already figured out who I was." At that moment I knew, Aphrodite. I grew furious and squeezed Annabeth's hand a little harder than necessary. She gave me a worried look and I tried to reassure her, which didn't work.
"Percy, pull over so I can check your bandages," Annabeth commanded.
"Annabeth, really I'm fine, It's just that Aph-" she cut me off.
"Pull over!" I did as she told. Luckily we were by the beach, so I pulled off and drove onto the beach. We got out and walked to the shore. When we reached about five feet from the water she asked me to take off my shirt, lay it on the ground, and lay on it. I did as I was asked. She knelt over me and lifted the bandages. Apparently, I was bleeding. I didn't even notice that I was. The area of my skin where my rib was broken had turned blue and black. "Oh, Hades!" she commented.
After awhile, she managed to bandage me up and give my ambrosia and nectar(the food of the gods). We sat there on the beach contently staring at each other. Do I really love her? I asked myself. I knew the answer was yes. Finally, I decided to take a chance. I put a hand on her cheek, and the other on her waist. I leaned in closer. At first, she looked shocked, but then she leaned in too. Our lips met with such intensity, I felt like passing out, but didn't. We kissed on Mount St. Helens, but she thought I was going to die, so It was more like a friend saying goodbye. This was something else. There was so much emotion in this kiss; I had never experienced something this exciting. Out of nowhere, she put her hands around my neck and pulled herself closer to me. She was now on my lap. I decided to 1-up her. I laid myself down with her on top of me. She didn't even flinch before taking it even farther. She added more fire into her kiss and started entangling her hands within my hair. I felt something strange, then realized what it was; her tongue was dancing on my lips, as if waiting for permission to enter. I let it.
Our intimacy continued until she had to breathe. Once she had caught her breathe, I realized that I hadn't told my mom we'd be here, so I IM'd her. "Mom?" I asked called as she appeared in the mist.
"Percy?! Where are you? Why aren't you at home?" she asked. Her face soon made its way into a grin. I guess she knew where we were from our surroundings, and from the fact that our faces were red, my shirt was still off, and we were breathing heavily, but she didn't say a thing.
"Sorry Mrs. Jackson," Annabeth spoke. "Percy started bleeding so we pulled off to fix him up."
"By the beach?" mom questioned.
"We just happened to be near here when we stopped," Annabeth replied. She blushed. I realized I wasn't in this conversation anymore and decided to go pull my shirt back on, which was full of sand.
After the girls finished their conversation, Annabeth rushed to me and grabbed my hand. "Seaweed Brain, we can stay here until midnight." I looked at my phone, it was 11 p.m. so we had an hour. I had an idea.
"Hey Wise Girl?" she looked my way. "Do you want to go on an adventure with me?" I asked.
"Sure, why not Seaweed Brain," she taunted. We both laughed at our nicknames.
"Just don't let go of my hand, if you do, the pressure might crush you if you're not in the bubble." She nodded. I held her close to me and we went under the water. Even though it was night, I could see everything, so I decided she should share my good fortune. I lightened everything under the sea, yes I know, it's one of my abilities. She gaped, but forgot that we were underwater and started chugging seawater. I quickly put a bubble around. "I'm sorry Annabeth, I should have put one up sooner."
"It's fine," she gurgled. I decided to take her a little lower.
"Now, I know I'm not as smart as you Wise Girl, but I'll to teach you something about the ocean." She rolled her eyes. I pointed to different species of fish, and told her everything about them, which I instinctively knew. Most of the fish and mythical creatures would bow and say "Good Evening Lord Percy, son of Poseidon." I was used to it by now. I heard some naiads gossiping. Oh great, now my new relationship is going spread around faster, I thought.
Annabeth held on to me as I showed her the different species of shark. "Annabeth, don't worry, they won't hurt you as long as I'm here." I didn't think that helped much.
After we finished our tour she turned to me and smiled, "Wow Seaweed Brain, I actually learned something from you," she teased. I rolled my eyes and pulled her into a kiss. We found a place by the gigantic coral reef that no one really knew about and cuddled till it was time to head.
While we headed back, I noticed that her head my on my shoulder, she fell asleep. I left her like until we arrived at the apartment. I picked her up bridal style and took her into the apartment. Once inside I was about to set her on my bed when her eyes fluttered open. "Percy, I would you sleep in here with me tonight. Please." I couldn't resist. I knew that Athena would kill me tomorrow but I wasn't concerned about tomorrow right now. I laid Annabeth down and took my place right beside her. This feels so right, I thought.
I knew Aphrodite was squealing with excitement right now from her plasma because of us, but that didn't bother. All I knew was that I loved a daughter of Athena, I loved Annabeth Minerva Chase. I gave her a kiss and fell asleep with arms around my Wise Girl dreaming happy dreams.
Annabeth's POV
I woke up in Percy's bedroom. I awoke slowly so I had to take things in slowly, which I hated. I turned round only to find Percy sleeping soundly, He looks so cute when he's sleeping, I thought. When I got out of bed I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to find Mrs. Jackson smiling. She walked me into the kitchen where she had three cups of coffee. She held one out to me and I took it.
"So, what happened between you and my son last nice," she squealed.
"Well, for one, he took me to this amazing restaurant for half-bloods and gods. It was so amazing, we had a Greek meal and everything. That wasn't the best part. After our exquisite dinner and did I mention desert, Percy had the restaurant prepare a three foot cake for my birthday, which even I forgot about. After he had embarrassed me with the Birthday song and let me cut the cake, he pulled out a box and handed it to me." I pointed to the owl necklace. "He got me this beautiful necklace. Then at the movies, we cuddled and afterwards, I noticed he was hurt so we pulled off to what happened to be a beach. I fixed his wounds and then his kissed me." She screamed at the word kiss. "He gave me an underwater tour and everything, and even carried me in to the apartment while I was half asleep, bridal style might I mention."
After I finished my long speech that summed our events last night, Mrs. Jackson hugged me. "I'm so happy for you two," she squealed. She's acting like a daughter of Aphrodite, I thought.
"I should probably go wake my boyfriend now," I giggled at the word, and that was weird because I never giggle. I walk back into the bedroom where Percy and I were sleeping and make an attempt to wake him. "Hey, Seaweed Brain, wake up," no use.
"Five more minutes' babe," he called. I blushed at word he used.
"I guess I'm gonna have to do this the fun way," I leaned down and kissed him. I jumped up, but not in a startled way. It was like I'd given him a boost of energy. He looked at me with a mischievous glare, pulled me down on the bed, kissed me. Of course, I didn't mind. Sorry mom, but I can't just not have this. We continued our make-out session until his mom called her for dinner. After we began eating, Percy started a conversation.
"Hey, Annabeth, what are you planning to do after the week is up?" he innocently asked.
"I guess I'll head to Camp Half-Blood." I saw a smile creep onto his face. He was up to something.
"Hey, mom, since school's half way over, and Annabeth doesn't have a place to live, could she please please please stay with us until the years over, she could enroll at Goode."
"Percy, I could never do that!" I steamed. "Your mom still has a wedding to plan." I saw sadness cross his face, which was the last thing I wanted. I remembered something that Mrs. Jackson had said about her not minding it if she showed affection in front her, so I leaned in and kissed him full on the lips, he seemed shocked at first, but then leaned into it. He is such a good kisser, I thought. Mrs. Jackson just sat there smiling.
"Well, it would be tight, but I could feed another mouth. Percy, you will use your income to support your girlfriend, understand." Mrs. Jackson exclaimed. I was so happy.
"Thanks so much Mom!" he shouted "Honestly, I had already planned on using my income to make sure Annabeth was comfortable." That was so sweet. He then turned to me, leaned in, and kissed me.
I couldn't believe it, I was actually going to be living with Percy, and going to the same school. I was seriously excited. "Ok, tomorrow's Monday. I'll get you enrolled then Annabeth, and Percy, you have soooo much work to catch up on." For some reason, he brushed that news off as if it wasn't a big deal.
"It's ok, as long as I have Annabeth to help. After all, she's my Wise Girl," he teased. I gave him a peck on the cheek.
"I'll help you whenever you need it Seaweed Brain," I replied.
I knew tomorrow was going to be an interesting day.
