Thanks for the reviews and here's the next chapter.

Chapter 3. I'm sorry that my body's not ripped enough to "satisfy" your wants.

I'm Percy Jackson and finally I can say that I'm not a virgin.

Yep, my best friend, Annabeth Chase, and I did it yesterday after our graduation. You know a few self motivating talks, a couple of pushes from friends and, VOILA, I asked Annabeth to be my girlfriend. Apparently, she had been waiting for that question for a couple of years. She got so excited that all but jumped on me and we started kissing. The kiss escalated to a make out session and before anyone of us was aware, I was taking her up to my room.

Morning came and she had left.

She had a home of her own and her parents were probably worried about her not reaching home early. Though they had cut some slack over graduation but still…

She hadn't picked up my phone throughout the day, she was probably tired and would be feeling a bit awkward over her first time. I mean I wasn't feeling comfortable either. Contended? Yes. Comfortable? No.

So tonight, which happened to be our graduation party night, I was hoping to talk to her. Maybe clear the uneasiness she was, probably, feeling and officially began our relationship.

I drove over to Annabeth's home hoping to pick her up but her parents told me that she had already left. Skipping part 1 of the plan I moved towards the venue which was, coincidently, my best friend Grover's place.

"Hey Perce." Grover greeted me as I stepped out of the car. Apparently, he had been waiting for me.

I actually had wanted to talk to Annabeth so I just replied, "Hey Grover. Do you know where Annabeth is?"

"Yeah, she arrived a few minutes ago. Last time I saw her she was talking to Rachel."

"K, thanks." With that I walked into the house looking for the two of them.

Moving around the place I encountered Luke and Thalia locking lips, kissing like there was no tomorrow.

"Sorry to interrupt the intimacy session" I began "but do you know where Annabeth and Rachel are?"

Without taking their mouths off each other, Thalia raised her hand and slapped me while Luke pointed towards the garden.

My hands rubbed my feet while my feet carried me outside. I roamed around until I heard voices.

Two to be exact.

"….did it with him." I recognized this voice as Rachel's.

"I know, I can't believe I'm no longer a virgin." Annabeth's voice sounded.

"No that's not what I meant. I meant with him. Percy?" Rachel said.

I didn't mean to but I couldn't resist eavesdropping.

"What do you mean?" Annabeth asked.

"I mean…you know…its Percy."

"I really don't understand."

Someone took a deep breath, probably Rachel and began, "Look Percy is nice and all but you know…um…uh…ok. Just screw this. How was it?"

"You know, now that you ask, it wasn't what I expected." Annabeth answered a bit awkwardly. I didn't get what she meant so I just kept listening.

"I knew it wasn't I mean Percy Jackson doesn't particularly look…you know…um…skilled." Of course I wasn't. Rachel knew enough about me to know that I was a virgin and I definitely wasn't among those guys who spent their nights watching porn.

"I know, I mean he was a virgin too you know." Annabeth said.

"Look girl, you know what I mean. I really like Percy as a friend. He's nice and supportive and easy going and really helpful but not sex material. I mean look at…um…Nico."

"Nico?"

"Yeah Nico. He's tall and handsome and muscular…you know completely ripped." Rachel finished. I swear I heard a dreamy sigh.

"And that concerns…" Annabeth left the sentence hanging in the middle.

"Sex. Look, I don't pretend to know how it was like for you but I'm guessing you didn't get an orgasm."

"Probably not. I mean I don't know the feeling but…" I stood there completely stunned. I had asked Annabeth after our experience and she had said that she had enjoyed it. Apparently she had lied to me.

"But what?" Rachel persisted.

"But I didn't feel what they describe in romance novels and stories and stuff."

"And, as a matter of fact, have you noticed that in all those novels stuff goes like 'I could feel his hard abs under my fingers' and 'his strong muscular arms held me up while he pumped-"

"Ok ok I get it." Annabeth stopped Rachel in mid sentence. "You sure?" Annabeth continued.

"Of course I'm sure. I mean if you do it with Nico you'll know what the hype about sex is all about." Rachel said.

"I think you're right…I mean I do agree with you on the whole 'facts-in-novels' thing."

"Excellent. So you up for a night with a stud?" All I could do glued at that spot was whisper to myself- Please don't. Say no. Please, please, please.

"Sure." Annabeth answered and broke me apart.

The voices died away but I stayed where I was standing, trying to collect myself, glue myself together, hoping to last until I, at least, reach my home.

When finally reality hit me I realized I was, pathetically, sitting up against the wall with my arms wrapped around myself.

Slowly I got up clutching myself, trying to hold it together. Trying and failing. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't control the burning in my eyes, the tears that were forming. I needed to get out. And I did.

I rushed towards where my car was parked. While I moved I got my sun glasses out and put them on. Just as I was about to exit, Grover caught up with me.

"Hey Perce , where to? And why do you have shades on in the night?" He asked.

"Nothing just…have to do a bit of chores at home. "

"Sun glasses?"

"Dude its RAY BAN. Never hide." I replied and faked a smile.

He knew something was wrong but didn't pursue, just nodded.

I ran. I couldn't hold it anymore. Without bothering about my car, I ran.

Frustration, anger, jealousy and most of all hurt ran through my body. Affecting every nerve, every muscle, every fibre of my being and I ran.

I didn't stop, I couldn't because I knew for a fact that the moment this rush dies out I'll break.

I just kept running.

I hope you like it. Please review.

Ciao.
