Annabeth's POV:

"Mom, why are you calling me? Is everything under control?"

"No"

"Did something happen on Olympus?"

"No"

"Then why the Hades are you calling me?" she was getting into my nerves

"Why didn't you tell me you were going to San Francisco with the sea pawn?"

"Really? You are calling me because of that?"

"I want an answer Annabeth. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Look, mom, I don't want to be rude, but I don't understand why I have to tell you every single thing I do"

"Annabeth San Francisco is very dangerous for a demigod. It's even more dangerous for two. Above of all, Perseus is the son of one of the big three. He attracts more monsters than normal demigods do. Being with him there is suicide. Use your brain and come back to New York right now"

"I don't care about the monsters! We have faced a few ones so far. Not many. So please, just leave me in peace. I'm leaving today at seven. See you"

"Annabeth don't…"

I ended the call, not letting her finish the sentence. I had to admit that my mother could be very controller. I was so lost thinking about the call I had just got that I didn't noticed someone coming into my room. Suddenly, I felt a pairs of strong arms around my waist. I jumped a little because of the surprise, making him laugh a little.

Percy was wearing a normal black t-shirt and old jeans. He had his camp necklace around the neck and his hair was between wet and dry, but still a mess. He wasn't wearing something out of the ordinary, but he looked very handsome.

"Hey you" he whispered in my ear and planted a little kiss on my cheek

"Don't try to play romantic with me, Seaweed Brain" when I finished saying that, he chuckled

"I can be romantic sometimes you know" he said, sitting on my bed

I turned round and told him "You are only romantic when you do something bad"

"Hey, that's not true"

"It is! Three weeks ago, you bought me a bouquet of roses and chocolates. When I asked you why you told me it was because you loved me. After dinner, I discovered you had lost my cell phone."

"It was only once, Annabeth"

"And there was that time, when we started dating," I kept talking, avoiding his comment "when you took me to that nice restaurant. That very night, I discovered you had broken my cabin's window. There was also that time when…"

"Ok, ok… I get it. Maybe you're right and I only play romantic when I do something I shouldn't. But not this time, really. I promise you I didn't do anything" He said

"If you say so…"

I sat on my bed next to him and kissed him. He didn't expect it but he returned the kiss almost immediately. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. I passed my right hand through his messy black hair, while I kept the other one on the left side of his face. When the kiss finished, with our foreheads touching, I let go his hair and stroked his cheek. When my hand was close enough to his mouth, he took it and kissed it. I smiled.

"You know what?" he asked in a whisper, not wanting to break the comfortable silence

"What?" I was still smiling

"I thought about it. About what I'll ask you to do in New York"

"So… what is it?"

"I won't tell you now. But I can say this: it has to do with water."

"Just try not to kill me"

"I won't, relax" he chuckled

"You want to hear a funny story"

"Always"

"My mother called me"

"If it involves your mother, I'm pretty sure it won't be funny"

"Chill, nothing serious happen. She just wanted me to come back to New York because San Francisco is very dangerous for demigods and you attract more monsters than normal demigods do. She was just worried"

"No, she wasn't worried. She was angry because you didn't tell her you were coming here with me and that I was staying in your house."

"Maybe" I smiled. Percy is always making my mom angry

"Ok, go shower so we can go later"

I kissed him once more. It was a shorter kiss, but it was still sweet. When we pulled apart, I got up and went to the bathroom. Let me tell you something: I wasn't wrong. Percy only plays romantic when he does something he shouldn't.
