Hey! II've been really busy with my exams and practical exams and this week was hell! Literally! But here's another chapter... it has more fluff and Percabeth and a little Tratie intro... but if there's something wrong please forgive me because it was a little difficult to find time!

Annabeth nervously ran her fingers through her blonde curls and adjusted her yellow tank top for the hundredth time. Katie looked at her and rolled her eyes with a small smile. Annabeth checked her watch and tapped her yellow converse foot impatiently as she waited for Percy the next day at the coffee shack. The waitress was giving Annabeth and Katie an exasperated look as they had been there for half an hour and hadn't ordered anything.

"Do you think he'll come?" Annabeth asked Katie twisting her silver bracelet.

Katie rolled her eyes again. "Chill it! He needs you as much as you need him, you know. He'll come," she said. Annabeth nodded trying to feel positive but her stomach churned in nervousness and she found herself twisting her silver owl bracelet again. After about ten more minutes, she finally saw a black haired boy walking in. She sat up straight.

He looked very good. Even hotter than when she'd seen him yesterday. His black hair was tousled and his green eyes were swirling and his lips were turned up in a drop dead gorgeous smirk. The other thing Annabeth noticed was his aura of power. He seemed so comfortable and in control that she was a little in awe.

"Who is he?" Katie hissed under her breath nudging Annabeth.

Annabeth frowned a little. Katie had already seen Percy. "Percy of course!" she answered.

"Not Percy. The guy beside him," Katie corrected jutting her chin out to a blond haired boy. Annabeth tore her eyes away from Percy and focussed on the other man. He was too, incredibly good looking with curly blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. Jeez, she thought, what was with good looking guys today?!

"Annabeth," Percy called brightly as he took the chair opposite to her and Katie. The other boy sat next to him. He looked appreciatively at Annabeth and Katie before turning to Percy.

"Dude, you said they were pretty. You didn't tell me they were hot!" he exclaimed.

Annabeth raised a brow in surprise. Katie glared. "They can hear you," she said rudely.

The boy looked over at her, his blue eyes twinkling. Before he could reply though, Percy cut in. "Girls, this is Tavis Stoll, my best friend. And Travis, this is Annabeth and Katie," he explained.

Travis waved with a grin. Katie rolled her eyes. Annabeth smiled and waved back.

Just then the waitress came back, this time though, her eyes fell on Percy and they widened. Percy shot her a brilliant smile fully aware of the effect it had on the poor waitress.

"I'd like a lemonade. What about you guys?" Percy said.

Everyone agreed to to it except Annabeth who wanted cold chocolate. The waitress smiled coyly before walking away obviously "bedazzled" by Percy's charm.

"So, are we doing this for real?" Annabeth asked finally as she looked at Percy.

"Of course we are. And don't worry, I already spoke to Terry about your rent, so no worries," Percy said.

Annabeth felt her grey eyes go round as she dropped her napkin in surprise. "How did you know Terry? Or.." Annabeth mumbled.

Percy leaned forward with a big smile. "I have my ways, baby!" he said.

Annabeth rolled her eyes. Stalker! "Don't call me baby!" she said. She thought she saw him blink in surprise. He was probably not used to girls rejecting his words of endearment. Oh, well!

"Jeez! Okay, let's go back to our topic of discussion. Annabeth, my fake girlfriend, I need you to come with me to lunch tomorrow to meet my parents," Percy said.

Annabeth almost flipped. "Tomorrow?" she squeaked. Okay, WHAT? She was going to meet her boyfriend's parents? Fake, but still! "Percy, oh no! Wait, I don't know anything about you. What am I going to do?"

Percy frowned as if he had just realised that. Annabeth pulled a heavy felt book from her bag and handed it to Percy. "See, this is all that you should know about me. My early life, schooling, dreams, career..."

Percy flipped through the pages and saw Annabeth's neat handwriting scrawled across the pages. "I can text you the basic information about myself. But this? Are you crazy woman? I can't read all this!" Percy said loudly.

Annabeth frowned. "You should, Percy. If we're going to lie, we do it perfectly!" she declared with a final nod. Percy sighed but decided to drop it. He would never win the conversation anyway. "There's your cold chocolate," he said flashing the waitress a dazzling smiled. The poor lady became all flustered and red as she served the lemonade to him. She quickly walked away shooting Percy an embarrassed smile.

Annabeth shook her head. "You enjoy doing that to girls don't you?"

"GIRLS like it too," Percy said winking at her. He shared a knowing smile with Travis.

Travis leaned forward and grinned at Katie. "Hey, wanna be my fake girlfriend?" he asked with all the sass he could muster.

Katie smiled sweetly at him. "I'd rather kill myself," she said. Annabeth broke into fits of laughter. Even Percy looked amused. Only Travis scowled looking disgruntled.

Annabeth finally finished her chocolate and slurped on the straw making weird noised. Percy raised his brow and she shrugged. "I love doing that! So fun!" she said.

Percy felt his lips twitch. His fake girlfriend was definitely... Interesting. He'd just have to see of she was eager to go to bed with him too.

Katie pushed her chair back and stood up motioning to Annabeth. "We should get back to work now," she said. Annabeth stood up too and followed Katie out but not before smiling at Percy and Travis happily.

Travis stared after the two girls and said to Percy. "Wow, she's something!"

Percy smiled too. "Yes, she is!"

Only Travis had meant Katie and Percy had meant Annabeth.

...

Annabeth quickly made a vanilla latte and set it on the tray and passed it to Katie who sashayed out with it. Annabeth picked up her mobile and saw a new text from Percy.

*Hey girlfriend!*

Annabeth smiled in spite of herself. *Hey boyfriend, my darling! Missing you already* she texted and quickly hit send as Katie came back in complaining about stupid customers. A couple of seconds later, a new text popped open from Percy.

*Oh, baby! Me too! Can't wait until tomorrow!*

Annabeth grinned wide and reached to text him back when Katie plucked the phone from her hands. Annabeth frowned and Katie glared at her as she read the texts. "Really? If I hadn't known better, I'd have thought you guys were hopelessly in love," Katie said.

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Jeez, Katie! Relax. It wasn't anything!" she said.

Katie shook her dark brown hair into a ponytail just as her own phone let out a ping. Annabeth picked it up and shoved it at Katie. Katie scrolled through and found the new text. "It's from Travis. Wait, how did he get my number?" she said.

Annabeth winced. "Oop?" she muttered guiltily. Katie glared at her but then softened because she could never stay mad at Annabeth. "What did he say?"

"Hey Katie-Kat! Hope my latte is still hot!" Katie read.

Annabeth giggled as she placed two cups of capachinos on a blue tray. "He's funny," she said.

Katie shook her head and tossed the phone without replying.

"Aren't you replying?"

"Nope. Now move it Chase! We have so much work," Katie said grabbing the tray and walking off. Annabeth sighed and put her own phone away. She made her mind to text Percy later after work.

...

Annabeth balanced her phone precariously with one hand as she tried to let herself into her apartment. She was talking to Percy and it was a little too difficult to open her door with one hand.

"So wait, you're mom is Sally Blofis amd her husband aka your stepdad is Paul Blofis?" Annabeth said just as she managed to let herself inside her house. She tossed jer bag on the couch and collapsed on it with a small sigh.

"Right," Percy said.

"And you're dad is Posiedon? What a weird name!" she said stretching her legs out in front of her.

"Yeah, I know. But it suits him somehow," Percy said.

Annabeth read adjusted herself on the couch and flicked on her television. "Okay, so what is your favourite food?"

"Anything blue," Percy answered immediately.

Annabeth was not sure she neard right. "Blue food?"

"Blue cookies, cakes, coke. It's a mother son thing. She spoilt me, that woman," Percy said softly amd Annabeth was surprised to hear the love in his voice. She hadn't pegged him for a guy who loved his mother because it seemed to clas with his player image.

"That is wonderful. I'm really looking forward to see your mother. My, I'd build a statie for her for bringing up someone as pesky as you," Annabeth joked lightly. Percy let out something like a small growl and Annabeth laughed.

And all night they spoke about things that were both relevant and irrelevant. Annabeth liked the way their conversation was so easy and effortless and she almost forgot that she was his fake girlfriend. Almost!

...

Travis rolled his eyes at Percy in annoyance. Yes, Percy was a chocolate boy and he often flirted with girls but he NEVER told them about his favourite food or drink or pastime or crap like that. God, he was even far gone as to start raving about the weather to Annabeth. Travis picked up a pillow and tossed it at Percy.

"Cut the call!" He mouthed at Percy who held up his outstretched palm indicating he needed five minutes. Travis narrowed his eyes but said nothing as he glared at his own phone wondering why Katie had not replied. He had sent her e few texts and there wasn't a single reply which he found completely weird because girls ALWAYS responded to him. Get a grip Travis, she's not worth it, he thought.

Percy finally finished his call and sat down beside Travis smiling brightly. Travis raised a brow and said, "You do remember she is not really your girlfriend, right?"

"Of course, I do!" Percy said with a shrug as he leaned back against his plush couch. Jeez, Annabeth had to know THINGS about him if he was going to pass her off as his girlfriend and he was doing his duty by making sure he told her the THINGS. Like, what if his mom said something about his love towards blue food and Annabeth acted all weird? A girlfriend ought to know things like this about her boyfriend. When Percy explained this to Travis, he just rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"And what about that book she gave you, about herself? You gonna read it?" Travis muttered looking amused. Percy cast the book a dirty look and nudged it with his toe. "In my worst nightmare," he said, looking disgusted. Travis laughed and threw him his phone. "Your mom is calling," he announced.

Percy immediately picked it up and smiled when he heard his mom. "Percy, baby! I'm so excited to meet your girlfriend tomorrow," she squealed like a little kid.

Percy bit the inside of his cheek and smiled. "Yeah, mom, I love you too," he joked with a laugh.

Sally laughed too and said, "Aww baby, of course you know I love you. But I called for something else,"

Percy nodded and realised that she couldn't see him. "Yeah?"

"What's her name?" she asked eagerly.

"Annabeth. Annabeth Chase," Percy replied. He saw Travis exit the and come back with two cans of coke and a popcorn tub.

"That's a beautiful name. Oh and what is her favourite food? I need to cook, you know!" Sally said.

Percy couldn't help groan as he grabbed a coke can from Travis. "Mom, you don't have to cook. We can have dinner at your favourite Indian restaurant," he said.

Sally tutted. "No, Percy, that won't do. She's your first real girlfriend since that Darlene girl in high school. I'm going to cook. What's her favourite food? Or don't you know?"

Percy immediately knew he was in danger zone and he looked around in panic when his eyes fell on Annabeth's book. He dived for it and started flipping through the pages. "Jeez, mom! Of course I know what her favourite food is. I mean she's my girlfriend," Percy babbled trying to find the right page. He found one where there was something about olives. He shrugged and said, "Olives, she likes olives!"

Sally was delighted as she kissed Percy goodbye and disconnected the call. Travis was snickering when Percy blew in relief. "Awww! Percy knows all about his lovely girlfriend," he teased sounding like a pregnant chimp.

Percy snorted and glared at him to shut up.

Travis grinned and lay back on his couch. "Oh Perce? Just so you know, the book says Annabeth is ALLERGIC to olives. Not that olives are her favourite. And I think you are in serious shit if you call Sally and tell her this," he announced coolly.

Percy groaned loudly. "Damn, this girlfriend thing is hard and it hasn't even started yet!"
