Ready for the next chapter? I NEED UPDATES TO MOTIVATE ME! Thanks! Mmmk on with the story....and you know my disclaimer! Soooo...here we goo! (btw thanks for the nice reviews guys)

Annabeth's POV:

….and our eyes locked....

I couldn't believe it, this wasn't happening to me! It was Percy, I'm sure of it. I could spot him out anywhere, I mean c'mon I used to be in love with him.

But now he's different...in a good way. I mean a VERY good way. He had big muscles, but they weren't like body-builder-I-use-steroids muscles, they were perfect. His shaggy black hair was cut perfectly and swooped to the side. He wore a blue t-shirt and khaki shorts with Nike sneakers. And did I mention he looked perfect?

But those eyes, I swear I got lost in for a couple of seconds. For 5 years I only had the memory of them and to see them now, I would have fainted if I hadn't been holding on to the bar.

Embarrassed, I remembered that I had been staring for quite awhile so I turned to my paper and suddenly got really interested in the sports section.

But, Percy had been staring at me as well. So maybe I didn't look so creepy after all.

I could hear his footsteps as he walked near me, it seemed as though they were the loudest thing in the room. Why was I nervous? Its just Percy. Aw, who am I kidding I was as nervous as hell.

I suddenly had to make sure I looked as attractive as him. I was wearing short-shorts, a Hanes v-neck, some leather sandals, some sunglasses that I used as a headband, and my hair was down.

Wait! Ugh! Why did I care? I only want friendship...for now. Oh gods!

"I'll have a de-caf latte, please," Percy said to the waiter. His voice was so mesmerizing.

"Coming right up, sir," the waiter said.

Percy sat down right next to me, and turned to face me.

"Annabeth Chase? Is that really you? Its been so long..." he asked. Probably the break up was flowing back into his mind.

"Yup, the one and only," I replied. Real intelligent huh? I mean I didn't even say "I've missed you" or "You look great". But, at this moment I honestly didn't care, Seaweed Brain was back, and hopefully for good.

"Wow, its so great to see you. I've missed you like crazy. You don't even understand," he said and my heart fluttered. Wait, what?

"I missed you too, Percy. A lot more than you think." Then the waiter gave him the drink.

"I doubt it. So, are you visiting camp or what?"

"Nah, since I graduated college I was pretty sick of living with the family. I mean I love them and all, but they just get on my nerves way to much. So, I have officially moved here. I was just drawn to New York somehow."

"I understand Annabeth, I bought my own apartment too. We all need to break away sometimes..." he said. And the "we all need to break away sometimes" thing made me feel like I just got stabbed with my own knife. I'm pretty sure he was thinking about the break up too.

So I guess he remembers too. Maybe he thought about me, but probably not as much as I thought about him. He was always the star of my dreams, and most of the time I would wake up crying. But, I wasn't going to tell him that.

"Yeah...so what are you doing here, Percy?"

"Well, they do have my favorite de-caf's so why go anywhere else?"

I laughed. And he smiled. Oh gods, his teeth were once again, you guessed it, perfect. And his smile was so genuine that I couldn't resist staring.

"Smart answer. You didn't usually have that many, Seaweed Brain."

He smiled once again at his old nickname I had for him. And I hate to say it but he looked...hot.

"Ha-ha very funny Wise Girl. So how are you? What have you been doing the past 5 or so years? I still can't believe your here. You never came back to camp after....that. Uh...so yeah tell me what's going on," he said.

I felt a gush of pain that just wouldn't go away and I kept trying to talk but it wouldn't work.

"I've b-been alright I g-guess. N-nothing really that exciting in m-my life nor has it been for the last 5 years. I've had a job that was r-really hard to leave. I was an architect assistant and we had a bunch of buildings built. And what about y-you?"

"Well, honestly my life has pretty much sucked recently. Nothing exciting at work. I'm a professional scuba-diver and marine biologist. Pretty easy job for a son of Poseidon. But I get payed a bunch of money, yet I don't have to work like 3 days a week."

"Well, you seem to have a good life even if it "sucks". I'm still in the process of moving. I actually moved in today. I don't have very many belongings."

"Today, really? If you don't mind my asking, where did you move to?" So he's interested huh? Maybe a little creepy but he's a friend or something like that. Were we even friends anymore? Or just lucky acquaintances?

"Its okay, Percy I don't care. I live on like 20th and 4th."

"Seriously? I'm about 3 blocks from there! Kinda ironic huh?"

"That is weird Seaweed Brain."

Then, suddenly his phone vibrated and he mumbled "Oh, crap..." under his breath.

"Need to be somewhere?" I asked.

"Uh...yeah, Wise Girl, I'm sorry. I really wish I could stay with you, but I have some business to take care of." He stood up and so did I.

He wrote his number down and gave it to me. How charming!

"Please call or text me so I can have your number, okay? Again I would rather stay here more than anything, but I have to go."

"I said its ok Percy! Gods, listen to me! Well I'll text you later," I said. He hugged me and I bet he could feel how much my heart was beating because he snickered and I flushed red. I kissed him on the cheek and he smiled and walked out turning back to look at me one more time. He winked and left.

Alright, I'll admit it. He made me crazy. But, why me? I bet he had a girlfriend. Gods, how I envy her.

I tipped the waiter and left to drive home. All the way home in the car I started crying. Why? I really didn't know. Maybe it was how much I missed him and how I wished he didn't leave, or that I wanted to get back together. Woah, woah, woah hold your horses Annabeth. No I didn't want that.

As I got home and got in my bed I grabbed my phone and texted Percy. I said, 'hey percy its me annabeth.'

About thirty seconds later I got a text from Percy: 'hey wise girl. You can say no, but wanna go to dinner friday at 7? I'll come pick you up, I want it to be a surprise.'

I replied: 'of course! Sounds like fun! We need to catch up.'

He replied: 'Alright sounds good. Goonight wise girl (:'

Was he really that cheesy to put a smiley face? I mean c'mon Percy grow up a little!

I sent him: 'Night Seaweed Brain. :)'

I couldn't resist the smiley face. It was just to cheesy. I laughed and smiled-something I haven't done in a while. Now that Percy was back as a friend, acquaintance, or whatever he was, things wuld be a whole lot better.

But, I was wrong. I had one of my worst dreams ever that night.......
