R&R! That is all. : )
This had to be the best room service pizza Percy had ever tasted. He resisted sighing as he gobbled down another piece. He could tell Annabeth was enjoying it too, since she hadn't said a word since they started eating, which was really unusual for her.
Percy reached out to grab another piece, but paused in horror. Just one left. He glanced at Annabeth, and saw she had noticed too. She was staring at him combatively.
He raised an eyebrow. "You want it?" He asked. She nodded, smirking. He could tell she figured there was no way Percy wouldn't let her have it.
"Well, okay..." He slowly withdrew his hand. Just as Annabeth reached for the slice victoriously, Percy shot out his hand, lightening fast, and grabbed the last piece.
He grinned at her, waving the slice in front of her face. "This looks pretty good, huh?" He asked, moving it closer to his mouth.
Annabeth looked mad. He was pretty sure her glare was going to burn a hole in his head. "Not cool, Seaweed Brain. Hand it over." She said.
"Hmm. I'm not sure Annabeth. It seems like I got it first, so you're going to have to trade me something." He grinned evilly.
Annabeth smiled at him sweetly, and then slowly withdrew her dagger from where it was strapped to her arm, placing it at his neck. "Okay. You give me the pizza, and I don't beat you up until you cry. Deal?" She stuck out her hand to shake on it.
Percy paused in mock thoughtfulness. He wasn't scared of her knife, more of Annabeth herself. Nevertheless, he wasn't willing to let it go that easily. "I don't know. That doesn't seem like such a good deal for me. Maybe you should make a different offer." He moved the pizza closer to his mouth again as Annabeth frowned at him, but her eyes were smiling now. She removed her knife from his neck, and leaned her face closer to his. She placed her lips just below his ear and whispered, "Got something else in mind?"
He nodded and they locked eyes in agreement. He dropped the slice of pizza, letting it fall to the floor. She brought her lips to his, kissing him gently and sitting down in his lap on the couch. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he ran his fingers through her gold hair, letting them rest on her back where he began to draw circles gently. Just when he was really getting into it, he heard a lock click and a door yanked open.
"Aww! How cute!" It was the voice of Silena Beauregard. Percy felt Annabeth yank away from him and jump off his lap. He turned around to glare at Silena and Beckendorf.
Beckendorf looked amused, like always, and Silena was looking between Percy and Annabeth dreamily, also like always. Annabeth looked flushed and embarrassed. And maybe a bit angry.
"How did you guys get in here? I thought we locked the adjoining door!" Percy demanded.
Beckendorf grinned. "It's pretty simple, man; you just have to use the density of the metal in the lock in contrast with th-"
"Never mind, never mind." Percy interrupted. He really didn't want to listen to Beckendorf go on about different types of metals and their conductivity and malleability and whatever else.
"So what do you guys want anyway?" He asked. He didn't care that he sounded a bit rude.
Beckendorf shrugged and he and Silena sat down on the couch next to Percy.
"We were just bored." Beckendorf replied.
Percy heard Annabeth clear her throat quietly.
"You guys seemed pretty, uh, entertained earlier..." She said. Percy couldn't help but laugh and Annabeth joined in. Beckendorf rolled his eyes.
Silena's cheeks flushed pink. "You came into our room?" She asked.
"Just like you came into ours. Except, we actually locked the door..." Annabeth replied, grinning.
"I didn't... I was caught up... forgot..." Silena mumbled as she turned to the TV that Beckendorf had flicked on. Beckendorf wrapped his arm around her shoulders. Her cheeks were still bright pink, but Percy thought she was smiling a little. He really didn't want to know what it was that had distracted her from locking the door and why she was smiling about it. Beckendorf was grinning too. Percy shuddered.
They all watched another movie. Percy was bored the whole time, and since it was a romantic comedy, he had to listen to Silena's gushing whenever the couple kissed and her crying when they broke up. Annabeth seemed bored too. When Beckendorf and Silena finally went back to their room, she slid onto Percy's lap.
"Well, that was fun." She said sarcastically. She was smiling but her eyes looked weary.
"Yeah." Percy snorted. "Remind me to get a horror movie next time we hang out with Silena."
Annabeth laughed at the idea. Her owl earrings twinkled in the moonlight coming in from the window. Percy put his hand on the back of her neck, moving their heads closer together.
"Why don't we pick up where we left off?" He asked, grinning.
Annabeth laughed. "Someone's feeling cheesy, huh?" She replied. Percy slid his fingers through her hair. He started to kiss her neck, but she pulled away.
"Percy, it's late. We should go to bed." She told him as she got up and slid into her bed. Percy nodded and followed. Their beds were still pressed together, so once Percy lay down, Annabeth laid her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and sighed contentedly. He was surprised when he heard her breathing slow almost instantly. She was already asleep. Percy drifted off too, hoping that his only dreams would be about her. Of course, he was wrong.
