"Annabeth?... Wisegirl?!" This was the fifth time Percy had pulled Annabeth out of her trance. "Is something up? You've been distant all day," Percy asked. He sounded genuinely concerned.
"I'm fine," she replied dismissively, "I just have a lot on my mind." She put on a reassuring smile, but Percy still seemed a bit concerned. So she leaned in and gave him a long, slow kiss. Percy's heart fluttered and he felt light headed.
He wrapped his arms around Annabeth's torso, bringing the two closer. His fingers played with the hem of her shirt, brushing against the skin there. Annabeth shivered involuntarily. She pulled away, leaving Percy dazed.
"I have to go," Annabeth said abruptly standing up and grabbing her bag. Percy was right behind her, "Why? I thought you weren't busy," he protested, looking like a child who'd just had his candy taken away.
"Don't worry, Seaweed Brain," she smirked, noting his sad expression, "I'll be back tomorrow. I promised my dad I would call him tonight. I haven't talked to him in a while, y'know," she explained. She hated lying to Percy, but she had to get home and make a plan. Percy nodded solemnly, not questioning her excuse. He knew her dad was a touchy subject, and he did not need Annabeth blowing up on him.
Before she could open the door, he grabbed her hand, turning her towards him, and kissing her sweetly. He had his hands on either side of her face, keeping her firmly in place. Her stomach tingled, and she almost forgot about what had happened earlier. Almost.
She broke away before she could change her mind and opened the door.
"Wisegiiiirl," Percy whined.
"Bye Percy," she smirked, her confidence building up at his reaction.
When she reached her dorm, she was nervous and anxious to get this over with. Her roommate, Chelsea, was reading a book when she walked into her room. She said a quick 'Hello', and then went back to her book. Annabeth sat across from Chelsea, thinking of how to bring up the subject.
"I want to learn how to seduce a guy," Annabeth blurted, the blood rising to her cheeks. She felt embarrassed and vulnerable. She had never come to anyone for advice like this. Though, she wasn't completely clueless. She knew how to get to Percy. She just needed a few other tips. And plus, she didn't exactly have the experience with the equipment like the clothes and make-up. Her roommate looked up from her book, eyebrows raised.
"Is this some kind of joke?" Chelsea asked disbelievingly. Annabeth groaned, trying not to let her pride get to her.
Chelsea noticed Annabeth's serious expression, and her eyes widened with amusement.
"Oh! You're serious! Aw, Annabeth, I'm so proud!" She pretended to wipe a tear away.
"Chelsea, don't worry, I don't need lots of details with the physical part," Annabeth added hastily. She shuddered, remembering the time Chelsea had shard way to much about her experiences. Annabeth couldn't bare to hear it again.
"I just need a few tips and help with the wardrobe and make-up," she muttered, her eyes cast downwards.
Chelsea giggled, "Yes! I can definitely help you there!" she exclaimed, excited. Annabeth sighed. This was going to be a long night.
The next day, Annabeth felt prepared. Even though she felt awkward when her roommate was giving her advice, Annabeth was grateful for the help. Her classes went by like a blur. After classes were over, she went back to her dorm and got ready.
She started by applying light make-up. Chelsea said the eyeliner would make her eyes 'pop', and the lip gloss would make her dull lips 'irresistible.' She figured she would just dress at Percy's before he got home. She looked at her bed, where Chelsea had left her a pair of heels. Annabeth shuddered involuntarily, not wanting to put the contraption on her feet. No way was she going to wear them. She hid them under the bed so Chelsea would think she wore them. She had told Annabeth, "Wearing heels will make your butt look better, trust me. And make your legs look longer. It'll drive him crazy!" Annabeth rolled her eyes, not caring. She would not kill herself over heels.
Annabeth took one last glance at herself, and she left before she could change her mind.
