CHAPTER 6
Annabeth walked inside his apartment. It wasn't anything extravagant, but she liked it. It had a warm, welcoming aura to it that was similar to Percy's.
"Here, I'll lead you to the guest room." he said, taking her hand.
He opened the door to the bedroom and led her in.
"Sorry, I don't have any women's clothing for you to change into."
"Oh, It's fine."
"Here," he said, walking to the bedroom closet and taking out a button up shirt for her to wear, "You can wear this and anything in this closet."
"Thanks." she said with a nod.
"No problem. I'll leave you then to change and such." he said with a smile, before walking out of the room.
Annabeth pulled off her shirt after he had gone and slipped off her pants as well, then changed into the shirt that Percy had given her. She then walked into the bathroom and pulled her hair up. Her grey eyes stared at herself in the mirror.
The way Reyna and Percy were looking at each other at the dining table… looks of pure hate and anger.
Did they know each other from before?
Annabeth took out her phone and dialed Solace's number.
"Miss, I heard you were suspended again. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. But, Solace, even though I don't have the authority to do so right now— I need to ask a favor of you."
"Anything, Miss."
"I want you to research all you can get on Percy Jackson's background…as well as my step mother."
"Yes, of course. I will get onto that right away."
"Thanks, and also- Can you get a maid to bring over my clothes from my apartment?"
"Yes, I will get that ready for you, Miss."
"And Solace?"
"Yes?"
"Keep this as private as possible."
"Yes, Of course."
Annabeth ended the call and walked out of the bathroom. She went down the stairs and put on her "nothing's wrong" smile again seeing Percy sitting casually on his couch.
His eyes widened immediately seeing that she wore only his button up shirt over her underwear.
"So, " she said, sitting next to him on his couch, "what do you want me to do first?"
He looked over at her, still with his slightly stunned eyes.
Damn it…
Percy had to admit... he liked it a lot that she was wearing his clothing. She had let a few top buttons undone so her collar bone and neck area was sexily exposed. His lips ached to get a taste of her skin.
I'm playing with her anyway. It shouldn't hurt to…have a bit of fun with her.
He pushed her down on the couch, pinning her down on the soft cushions.
Her grey eyes went wide with surprise as his lips immediately kissed the skin of her neck, kissing up to meet her ear.
"I want you to let me do what I want with you— Miss Chase." he whispered in her ear.
-Line Break-
She couldn't help the blush that rose up to her face as he kissed the spot behind her ear again and licked with his warm tongue.
Damn it all. Why did she allow herself to look so weak and vulnerable in front of this man. She needed to be more wary of him.
She let out a blissful sigh as his hand slowly ran up her thigh. It went under the hem of the shirt she was wearing and up her slim waist.
It was impossible though. His touch was so….addicting.
"Percy…" she said with heavy breathes.
His hot lips kept kissing down her neck and down her collar bone. His other hand went to the buttons of his shirt she was wearing.
Unbuttoning them slowly one by one until her bra was visible, his lips followed his hand—breathing soft sweet breathes against the tops of her breasts.
Her fingers went up through his hair, tugging slightly at it. She let out heavy, glitched breathes from the rush of pleasure that came from the feeling of his lips against her skin.
Percy's lips and hands suddenly left her as he pulled away from her.
Annabeth opened her eyes and looked up at the guy, who still had her pinned.
His lips turned up in a smile and he lifted his hand to graze her cheek with his thumb.
"I haven't felt this way about anybody before, Annabeth." he said with genuine affection in his eyes, "You make me feel alive and..happy."
He leaned closer to her and kissed her on the lips, sliding his tongue slightly between her parted lips.
He pulled away again and smiled at her cute blushing, "Will you go out with me?"
"Don't ask it as a question." she said to him.
His brows raised perplexed.
"I have to follow your every command after all." she said to him with a smile of her own.
She then lifted her hands up to his face and brought her sweet, soft lips up to his, kissing him with all she had.
It was pure bliss— her kisses...
"Go out with me" he said against her lips.
She pulled away, "Of course, I will." she said with a smile.
It was a beautiful smile and it sparked something inside of Percy— …. something that he could not afford.
This girl…
He was a player. He wasn't supposed to feel anything towards the girls he victimized. And yet...
why was his heart fluttering and his face getting hot because of this girl?
He gave her a smile of his own then got off of her. His hand reached out to pat her gently on the head, "Then, you can stop repaying your debt to me and go rest until dinner. I'll order something for the both of us."
She smiled back, making Percy avert his eyes from her, "Yeah, well then. Call me when the food's here." she said. She leaned down. Her hand went up to gently cradle his face before kissing him on the cheek. She then started walking away from him up the stairs to her room.
He sat there absolutely dumbfounded and in shock from the foreign feeling he felt at the bottom of his stomach.
If she were just another girl, he would have brought her up to his room and slept with her already. But…what was wrong with him right now? Why couldn't he bring himself to play her further.
He ran his fingers through his hair with frustration. This was bad…He was losing sight of his main goal.
He wanted revenge.
That's what he really wanted. It's all he ever will want.
He shouldn't waver because of some girl. It's not like he was going to let the victim ruin his whole game play.
That's not how he played things...
The next morning Annabeth woke up to see a mob of raven black hair lying on the edge of the bed.
She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and looked at the man again, sleeping with his head resting on her bed.
Annabeth slowly sat up and nudged the sleeping man gently. His eyes fluttered open to reveal his bright green eyes.
Then, he lifted his head and looked at the blonde looking back at him with her grey eyes.
"I must have fallen asleep." he said his voice husky and low, "I came up to wake you up for dinner and ended up sleeping myself. Sorry about that."
She smiled back at him, "It's fine. I wasn't that hungry anyway.."
He gave her his own smile, but it slowly disappeared seeing her shirt undone just the way he had made it yesterday. Biting his tongue to stop the blush creeping up his face, he stood up and started walking out of her room.
"I'll let you wash up and change."
She nodded and pushed the covers away before leaving towards the bathroom. He immediately averted his eyes from her exposed body and walked out the door.
Meanwhile Annabeth slid off the shirt she was wearing completely and stepped into the shower. The hot steaming water running down her body calmed her senses and thoroughly cleared her mind.
She stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around herself before walking out of the bathroom into her room.
Putting on one of his shirts again along with the jeans that she wore from the day before, she went out of the room and down the stairs. Percy had just finished making some toast for her and some fried eggs.
She sat down at the counter and simply watched him prepare the plates with her chin in palm. He caught her staring and smiled, before setting a plate of food in front of her.
"You're quite the chef, aren't you?"
He chuckled lightly, "You could say that."
She smiled and took a bite, "It's pretty good if you ask me."
"I'm glad." he said, eating his own breakfast. He looked over at her and gave her another smile, "So, it's the weekend. What do you want to do today, Annabeth?"
"Let's go to the place where you work."
"The beach?"
She nodded, "Yeah, I feel like going to the ocean and watching you work."
"Alright, I wouldn't mind, since I do make a pretty hot lifeguard."
She laughed at that, "Looking forward to it."
Annabeth sat in her own high lifeguard chair next to her beach hottie of a boyfriend as he watched over the beachgoers in his high chair overlooking the ocean. She stretched her arms over her head and breathed in the fresh ocean air deeply.
"Your job must be nice." she said.
"Well, it doesn't pay that well so I have to take up another job so that I can support myself." he said casually with his shades over his eyes.
"And what is that?"
"I bartend."
"Why haven't we gone there yet?"
He laughed, "If you want we can go there and I can whip you up a free drink later."
She smiled with satisfaction and looked out to the ocean again with her grey silvery eyes sparkling from the sun's reflection.
Percy looked over at her and stared. She was smiling a lot more often when she was with him. It made him happy that her smile was because of him.
"You're definitely something special, Annabeth." he said after a moment of comfortable silence.
She looked back over at him with her beautiful grey orbs.
"Thanks."
He chuckled at her casual reply.
"Don't worry, Jackson. You're special too." she replied.
"Why, thank you."
She smiled amusedly, "No problem."
Percy stood behind the counter with a black apron around his waist. He wiped down the beer cups with a towel as Annabeth sat at the counter drinking a bourbon he poured for her.
He set down the last cup and leaned his elbows on the counter to stare at the hot blonde girlfriend of his drinking casually in front of him.
"Enjoying it?" he asked with a smile.
She nodded with a slightly lazed smile.
He chuckled and reached out to teasingly squeeze her blushed cheek. "You're a bit hammered, aren't you?"
"Maybe." she said, finishing her drink in one last gulp. She handed the cup to him, "More please."
He took it from her and shook his head smiling before getting the drink for her.
"Yo, Percy!" A voice called from the door.
Percy looked to see Nico with his girlfriend, Thalia walk into the bar.
"Oh, hey you two." he said back to them.
Percy set a tequila in front of Annabeth who took it gratefully as Nico and Thalia came up to them. Thalia looked over at the blonde and her eyes widened—so did Nico.
"Oh, is this the girl you're seeing Perce?" Nico asked him, sending another message with his eyes.
Thalia's eyes widened even more hearing that. She looked over at Percy in her shocked confusion, "Girlfriend?"
Percy nodded, smiling. Annabeth turned to the couple.
"But, she's the—" Thalia started out, but Annabeth reached out her hand to her.
"Hi, Annabeth Chase. I'm Percy's girlfriend." she said with a smile.
Thalia seemed to blank out for a moment before shaking the blonde's hand. She returned the smile, "Thalia Grace. And this is Nico di Angelo, my boyfriend."
"Nice to meet you."
"Well, Nico. You can take over for me, right? I need to take Annabeth back home." Percy said, taking off his apron and walking out from behind the bar counter.
"Uh, yeah. Sure." Nico said.
Percy then nodded his thanks and led Annabeth out of the bar.
Nico and Thalia looked at each other then at the door where Percy left with the blonde.
"Nico, don't tell me he's playing the daughter of that Chase Industries' president- that girl whose famous all over the business industry for her super intelligence?"
Nico shook his head slowly, "No, he is."
"What?! Is he crazy? Why is he aiming so high?" she pinched her nose bridge with her thumb and forefinger, "No wait, don't tell me— it's because of Reyna, isn't it?"
"Yeah, you're right." he said a bit tiredly.
She let out a sigh, crossing her arms over her chest "That girl. She doesn't know what kind of guy he is."
"Yeah, I know..." Nico said with sympathy.
Author's Note:
Here it is! Chapter 6!
Thanks for all the love for this story you guys. It's really fun writing this. :D If you haven't noticed, Percy says really mushy romantic things to Annabeth and their conversations are a bit shallow. This is because Annabeth doesn't trust him fully right now and Percy's trying to play her-though he's slowly falling for her.
So, don't worry, it gets a lot more deep and genuine later on. LOL.
Next update in a week! YAYAYAYAY!
