Dislcaimer: ...Seriously?!
I walked over to the kitchen and grabbed a glass. I filled it up with water and went out onto the fire escape that was by my bedroom window. As soon as I felt the crisp night air, I felt a little relief. It was getting a little stuffy inside. I put the glass above me and dumped it on my head. I suddenly felt like I could walk a thousand miles. I walked back inside completely dry with an empty glass in my hand. I caught Annabeth's eye and winked, and she gave me a nod of understanding and a wink back.
I walked up to the front of the room and turned the karaoke machine to my song. The music started. I felt the water's power within me and I began to sing.
"She said, 'I've gotta be honest, you're wasting your time if you're fishing 'round here.'
And I said, 'You must be mistaken. I'm not fooling, this feeling is real.'
She said, 'You've gotta be crazy! What do you take me for? Some kind of easy mark?'
You've got wits, you've got looks, you've got passion
But I swear that you got me all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
But you've got me -
I'll be true, I'll be useful, I'll be cavalier
I'll be yours my dear and I'll belong to you
If you just let me through
This is easy as lovers go
So don't complicate it by hesitating and
This is wonderful as loving goes this is
Telling me what's the sense in waiting
And I said, 'I've gotta be honest: I've been waiting for you all my life.'
For so long I thought I was a soloumn bound but just seeing you makes me think twice
And being with you here makes me saying, 'I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my side.'
You've got wits, you've got looks, you've got passion
But are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?
Tonight, tonight
You've got me -
I'll be true, I'll be useful, I'll be cavalier
I'll be yours my dear and I'll belong to you
If you just let me through
This is easy as lovers go
So don't complicate it by hesitating and
This is wonderful as loving goes this is
Telling me what's the sense in waiting
And, this is easy as lovers go
So don't complicate it by hesitating and
This is wonderful as loving goes this is
Telling me what's the sense in waiting
And, this is easy as lovers go
So don't complicate it by hesitating and
This is wonderful as loving goes this is
Telling me what's the sense in waiting."
My eyes never left Annabeth's the entire time. She could tell I had dedicated it to her. She would've blushed if I hadn't held her gaze. It was silent for a moment. I couldn't tell how well I'd done.
Eventually, Thalia let out a long whistle. "Wow, Percy. That was...amazing." Everyone nodded and mumbled stuff like, "Definitely," and "Awesome." I was still staring deep into Annabeth's gray eyes.
"Well," I said, "you're up." And I winked at her. She finally blushed, but no one noticed. As she walked past me, I could tell she really wanted to kiss me. But it would have to wait. When I sat back down, Grover gave me another wink. Shut up, I told him in my mind.
One more chappie! OMGs! R&R! PeAcE oUt! =P
