Annabeth's POV
I just couldn't wait to get off the plane. I could stretch my legs, breath in fresh air, and most importantly, look deeply into Percy's sea green eyes. I mean, I don't know how you can get lost in two eyeballs, but I just do. Anyways, there would be so much to do with Percy. We could go to the movies, go to the park, a walk on the beach, wait. Am I thinking of going on a date with Seaweed Brain? Yes. Yes, I was thinking of that. A couple of years ago, I would have kicked myself for even thinking about that, but know I guess I've matured and accepted the fact that… that I love… Percy Jackson.
Attention all passengers. We are about to land, so please buckle your seatbelts because we don't want you crashing into a wall and bleeding all over the place. The last time we did that, the flight attendants were all grossed out and the carpet got stained… sorry whoever's sitting in seat 29-B.
That gave me the chills. Like last night. I kept on hearing this voice in me. I thought it was my mom, but it claimed to be my gut. So I was really creeped out. So by the time the plane landed and I got my stuff, it was about 10 am and yep, the first person at the gates was Percy Jackson. I ran into him and gave him a great big hug. It must of hurt because Percy didn't hug me back. Anyway, he loaded my stuff into a cab and we were on our way to Percy's apartment.
Percy's POV
I was really glad to see Annabeth today, but I really didn't need her death hug. So we were in the cab and we weren't talking. We weren't even looking at each other.
Come on, do something already!
Not now Vladigut!
Tell her you missed her! Say she smells nice! Just do something!
No!
Fine, then I'll do something. Hey, babe.
Holy crap my gut was flirting with Annabeth's gut. I wonder what she's thinking right now.
Annabeth's POV
Not now, Alegutsia!
Why? Sea green's gut likes me. In fact, we've been dating for about a year.
How come I hear you now and not a year ago?
Hormones, girl. You gotta love'em
Percy's POV
I guess that Annabeth and I should be talking.
"So, how was life in San Fran?"
"It was okay."
"Are your relations with your stepmom better?"
"Kinda."
"Um, Annabeth?"
"Yea?"
"I just wanted to say to you that…"
"What?"
"I still love you." I whispered.
Annabeth stiffened when I said that and I expected that she would reject me, but instead, she just shook her head and smiled. I didn't know what was going on, so I held hand and started to look into her eyes and stroke her hair.
"Hey, cut it out back there!"
It was the cab driver.
"God dammit the next thing I know, I have two teenagers making out in my car. Don't teenagers know that love is supposed to be private? Most people don't like to see others suck face."
After that, Annabeth and I were tomato red and silent. When we got home, I paid the cab driver and lugged Annabeth's stuff to my apartment. I watched TV as she unpacked in the guest room. After a while she sat next to me and watched with me. Honestly, I really don't know what girls liked to watch, but I was watching a UFC fight and Annabeth was pretty drawn into it. After the fight had ended, there was nothing left to watch, so I turned the TV off and I just sat with Annabeth.
"Do you really still love me?" she asked.
