Chapter 2: You Belong With Me
Percy's POV:
Annabeth was yelling like a mental patient, what the hell was wrong with her! I tried to calm her down, and she seemed calm but with a worried look on her face. I'd watched her for about fifteen minutes, I wanted to tell her she looked pretty but knowing her she'd think it was an insult. But even with a slight rat's nest on her head she looked beautiful. She always looked beautiful, anyway. But I still wasn't sure if I loved her. *Slaps self, metaphorically* of course you like her, Percy. Did I?
"Can you tell me what's wrong; did you have a nightmare or something?"
"Sort of, no, but yes its complicated Percy stop asking so many questions"
Annabeth was now brushing her curls, and I swore I was blushing. But I loved the way they flowed as they fell down over her shoulders. Annabeth truly was a beauty, but she didn't take advantage of it. She was now in front of me; we stared into each other's eyes for what seemed forever. We both leaned forward, closer, closer, our noses weren't touching yet, but soon they would. She closed her eyes, and I closed mine. We were touching noses now…….but Annabeth leaned back and left the cabin. I didn't know where she went, and didn't care. But now I felt as we were wrong. Did she like me back? She rejected me, technically. I suddenly felt less for her, now I was sad. All gloomy like, I felt like turning emo like Thalia. She obviously didn't like me anymore. So I left Annabeth's cabin and retreated to mine. I didn't feel like training so I took out my phone, especially from the gods. It was a gift from Hermes.
I texted
Hey, Grover very important can u come over soon? Very urgent, meeting, it's about Annabeth.
I shut my phone and waited outside for Grover to come. But I felt a wet substance trickle down my cheek. Was this Poseidon, demigod puberty? No, idiot self, I seriously was crying…over Annabeth.
Grover came and I wiped my tears with my sleeve and invited him in.
"So what's this about, man?"
"I told you Annabeth, but you have to promise, as a best friend, man to man conversation, not to laugh, chuckle, cough, sneeze, or anything because of what I say" I made him promise.
"Promise, pinky swear and you mean man to goat"
"Okay, I went to Annabeth's cabin and she was saying 'Wait no, no, NO' and I woke her. We were leaning with our eyes closed, and you know almost, you know…but then she stopped and left her cabin"
"Is she missing or in camp?"
"I don't know, but I feel dumped from what never started. Is she worth it? Should I go after her?"
"Listen I'm not into this mushy junk, but seriously if you don't see it I don't know who does"
"What are you talking about?"
"Percy, Annabeth's had a GINORMOUS crush on you in since forever, man. Everybody knows it I can't believe you didn't get the hint"
"What hint?"
"Let's see uh, you've told me she hugged you, kissed you, blushed in front of you, what else do you want a teddy bear?"
"Ooooooooooo, I'm in idiot, oh yeah I'm a big idiot, dimwitted dumbaaa-
"NO, you're not, your just definitely not Athena"
I already had my torso laid on the bed, how could I have not seen it. Annabeth did have a crush on me, but I'm sure that changed if she rejected me. Since Grover could somehow always know what I'm thinking, which sucked he said,
"She was probably nervous" Grover had a couple of tears going down his cheek. "Oh this is so embarrassing I promised myself not to cry, I'm going to leave now"
He headed for the door with me behind him.
"Now you mister, better go find her"
I muttered an answer and tried finding Annabeth. I looked where we slept but she wasn't there. She obviously wasn't in her cabin. She wasn't on the bench by the water, where else possible would she be?
Look by the water, boat perhaps. One of the naiads seemed to tell me so I looked farther. I saw an old boat; it didn't move anywhere and no one seemed to be in it. I took my shirt of and put my feet in the water then sunk my whole body in. I swam towards the boat. Fish greeted me, but all I focused on was the boat. I was deep enough for no one to see me. I approached the boat. I swam under the boat and…..as mean as I was I tipped it but not enough for it to capsize.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh" Annabeth said with a shock. Her face was extremely scared and surprised.
I popped my head up.
"Seaweed brain, what the heck" she wasn't mad I could tell, mostly because she through water in my face.
"What was that for?"
"Me"
"Yeah you" we continued pelting each other with water and we both were soaking wet in the boat sitting up.
Annabeth laughed and I laughed with her, good ole times.
Hard as I try, I know I can't quit
Something about you is so addictive
We're falling together;
You'd think that by now I'd know
Cause here we go, go, go again
I noticed the song and she spoke up.
"Percy, the only reason I didn't want to kiss you was because I was afraid"
"Of what, that I'm a vampire and I'm going to bite you?'
"No, listen I had this…dream. But it was real."
She told me what happened with Aphrodite and wasn't surprised.
"So do you?"
"Do I what?"
"Do you like me?"
She punched me. "Of course I do Seaweed brain!"
I told her how I felt about her and she totally understood but wasn't surprised I realized I was an idiotic dimwit. We leaned again to kiss but she put her hand on my chest pushing me back.
"This isn't at the right time, when the right time comes, is when I'll kiss you"
"Of course because love isn't complicated enough as it is" I sighed. "When's the right time?"
"You'll know, I'll know"
We slept together again and it felt nice, just being in a boat shifting softly. With the water surrounding us, and best of all no bad dreams tonight.
Valentine's Day
I woke up with no worries and again, Annabeth was still asleep. She didn't snore which was good. And I went back to bed. But I didn't sleep, I thought. Not kissing Annabeth was killing me, who knew the right time anyway.
A Couple of Hours Later
Annabeth was back to doing whatever and I decided to go out into New York. It took forever to convince Chiron to let me go out. But Grover had to come with me, and I told him what happened.
"Well, that's okay as long as when you two's are sleepin' nothing happens" he said.
"Don't worry"
We walked into a flower shop and I bought the most beautiful red roses, they were perfect and next I just needed to drop by Hallmark to buy a teddy bear with some box of chocolates and my day would go swimmingly.
"So are you single?" the employee working asked me. She had black 'fluffy'hair and green eyes that looked almost unnatural.
"Bad smell, Perce"
"O s**t"
