Percy's POV:
We stood in front of a big brown door. The doorknob was gold, as well as every single detail of it. Annabeth rang the doorbell and looked at me. She winked at me and immediately after that, a man who was about his fifties opened the door. I didn't recognize him at first, but then I remembered the worried look at his face years ago, when I had come and told him his daughter was missing.
"Hey dad" Annabeth said as they hugged. They broke apart and he looked at me.
"Hey, Mr. Chase" I said and offered my hand. He took it and smiled at me.
"You can call me Frederick, if you want."
"Thank you."
"Why are we standing here?" he asked "It's cold, let's go inside. Come on!"
We followed him inside and I looked at the house carefully. It was Victorian style. On the first floor, the floor was made of wood, and I could see the kitchen, the living room, a little patio farther and behind me, Mr. Chase's office. Windows had white curtains and the stairs were also made of wood, but a darker one. I guessed that upstairs was where the bedrooms were.
"Percy," Annabeth voice pulled me back to reality "come on, I want you to meet the rest of the family."
"I'll be in my office, if you need me." Mr. Chase said and then disappeared.
We got into the kitchen, where a woman was standing. She had long black hair and a few freckles on her face. Her lips were wild and she smiled when she saw us. She hugged Annabeth first and then me. I was surprised by the hug but Annabeth mouthed behind her 'Hug her and let's go'.
We went upstairs and I could immediately hear shouts and screams. I guessed they were Annabeth's stepbrothers. Annabeth knocked the door of their room and the two little kids jumped and hugged my girlfriend, who fell to the floor with the twins above her.
"How you doing guys?" she asked them.
"Fine" they said at the same time. After that, they all stood up.
"Do you remember Percy?" Annabeth asked and took my hand.
"He is the one of the photo in your room!"
"No! Bobby, don't be silly! He is the one that makes Annabeth blush when they talk on the phone!" Mathew told his brother.
"I know!" Bobby argued "He is the Percy Annabeth talks about in her dreams!"
"Please! We both know he is…"
"Well," Annabeth interrupted and I swear, I had never seen her redder "I think he got the idea. Now get into your room."
When they did, Annabeth covered her face with her hands. I could see she was very embarrassed. I wrapped my arms around her waist and she put her head on my chest, still covering her face with her hands.
"Hey, it's OK. There is nothing to worry about."
"Seaweed Brain, I swear on the River Styx that if you say a word about this, I will rip your face and I won't care if you are my boyfriend or not!" she said, taking her hands off her face and looking at me.
"I won't say a word. May I tell you something?"
"Yes"
"Your face is as red as Rachel's hair." I said, knowing that I was about to burst out of laughing.
She slapped me playfully on the face and got into the next room. I followed her and saw a girl room. It had pink walls and a white desk with a billion of blueprints on it. That… that couldn't be Annabeth's room, could it?
"Is this your room?" I was trying hard not to smile and laugh.
"You don't need to say a word, I know it sucks. It's pink and girly."
"I wasn't going to say that, I was going to say it didn't look like it was yours."
"We should get ready for dinner. I'll help you unpack, if you want."
She got closer to me and I wrapped my arms around her. I was about to kiss her when she said:
"Please, forget about everything my little brothers said."
"Why would I do that?"
"Because I don't want you to think I am an Aphrodite kid."
"I don't think you are." I whispered, getting closer to her mouth "I think it's kind of cute of you having a photo of me, blushing when we talk on the phone and most importantly saying my name when you are asleep."
"Why do you say that? You don't need to lie and tell me it's cute when we both know you don't like it."
"Annabeth, I have a photo of you in my cabin, I blush when we talk on the phone and" I whispered the last part in her ear "my mom always tells me I talk about you when I am asleep."
With her thumb she lift my chin up and said "I love you"
"No more than I do" and I kissed her.
We pulled apart and heard Annabeth's stepmom calling us for dinner. We went downstairs. I didn't even imagine how dinner would be like.
HOPE YOU LIKED IT GUYS! LEAVE A REVIEW!
