[The story continues from ANNABETH'S POV]
CHAPTER 5:
"So..., I guess we have to go now." I said. The curfew had started and it was time for us to go back to our cabins. I could hear hoards of campers talking and making their way back to their cabins from the amphitheater.
"Uh huh." He said. Percy held my hand in both of his and started tracing circles around my palm. That seem to send electric sparks down my spine. I looked at him and saw his eyebrows knit together and his green eyes focused on me. Gods of Olympus, he looked so cute when he was tensed.
"But if we pretend that we did not hear any conch horn blow..." I said.
"Then I don't think curfew has yet started." Percy agreed with a lopsided smile.
"Then we don't have to return to our cabins."I continued.
"And so," he continued, "our night is not yet finished."
"So what are we waiting for, Seaweed Brain?" I pulled him closer and kissed him. Kissing him was like melting in the vastness of the ocean. His every breath carried the fragrance of the seas and his lips were cold and salty. His skin was a little rough like a sailor's should be but his touch was as gentle as the fine sand of the beach.
We broke apart trying to catch our breath. "Let's go." He said.
"Where?" I asked.
"To our second destination for the night, of course." He replied with his stupidly cute smile. He grabbed my hand and we started to make our way back towards the cabins.
As I walked with him, I thought about the time at the beach, when he joked about hanging out with a mortal girl. Was he really joking? Part of me was really worried that when I go to San Francisco tomorrow for a month, Percy might feel lonely and start dating someone else. Oh gods, what if I come back and find out that Percy had found himself a new girlfriend while I was gone? That would be horrible.
I tried not to think about such things and try to enjoy whatever time I had left with him.
However, part of me also knew that Percy was an extremely loyal person. That was his fatal flaw. This is not really a fatal situation, but I could never imagine Percy trying to hook up with someone else behind my back. How much ever dumb that Seaweed Brain was, he still had the biggest heart among all the people I have ever known. And I love my boyfriend for that.
