VI- We Get a Free Ride
So Annabeth and I took a shower, not together of course! And got dressed, we went to the elevator and I pressed the button for the lobby.
"What do you wanna do now?" I asked
I heard her stomach grumble, I chuckled a bit
"What?" She asked hiding the fact that her stomach's grumble sounded like two metal sheets meshing together.
"We're going to get something to eat wise girl." I said without thinking about it
"Sure, seaweed brain" She said smiling at me. We rode the elevator listening to the soothing jingle of the elevator music.
We went out of the elevator and walked to the lobby.
"And how do you expect us to get around a city like Las Vegas?" She asked cross-armed.
"I, uhh well-" I said stupidly. I knew how to drive but the thing is, I'm still not legal to drive anywhere but in the state of Manhattan with an adult. I'm under-aged and more importantly, we had no car.
The receptionist near the entrance must have heard us and is walking right towards us
"Is there any problem?" She asked us, I guess she know we're the guests of Jake.
"noth-" Annabeth caught me off.
"We just need a car. Our friend Mr. Matthews may have readied us with one?" Annabeth explained to the receptionist sounding straight that you would think she actually knew what she was saying.
The receptionist looked confused but realized that she was dealing with the guests of Mr. Matthews that owned the hotel.
"Oh, right! Let us not keep you waiting shall we?" The receptionist said in a whisper not knowing what she's doing was right or wrong.
As we walked out into the front, a car pulled up to the driveway. It was the latest model of a black Mitsubishi Lancer-EX. It was tinted black. It looked so expensive I thought that the owner would've been someone rich and powerful.
The driver seat opened, a guy in the uniform of the hotel went out of the car and walked to me.
"Your ride, sir" He said handing me the key.
I took the keys but said "But, I'm under-"
Annabeth cut me off again.
"What he's trying to say that he's so thankful of the understanding of the hotel on this matter. We'll make sure that Mr. Matthews knows what you have done for us. Let's go, honey?" Annabeth said, grabbing my arm toward the car.
"Uh yeah, let's go." I said confused.
I got into the drivers seat and Annabeth got into the front seat.
"Are you that stupid Percy?" Annabeth practically screamed in the car.
"But I'm really under-aged." I said stupidly.
"Well they don't know that." She said
"But-" She cut me off yet again
"No buts Percy, they think I'm your fiancé or something. You know how to drive right? So drive." She said still practically screaming.
I put the keys into the car and it roared to life. So we drove out of the hotel I laughed to myself hysterically. Annabeth looked at me funny.
"What is it?" She said in a hard voice
"You like it when they think you're my fiancé" I said still chuckling to myself
"NO I DO NOT!" She yelled but I kept on laughing
At the corner of my eye I saw that she was blushing heavily.
"Yes, you do" I said holding her hand keeping one hand on the steering wheel
"Yeah, maybe a little" She said in a whisper.
"I knew it!" I shouted.
She punched me in the arm which made the car swerve
"Hey! You could kill yourself doing that" I said laughing.
"As if you're gonna let something like a car-crash kill me seaweed brain." She said laughing
So we just kept laughing throughout the car-ride.
