I didn't realize that school would be ending so fast. Percy must have driven like Hades to get home. He probably wanted to clean up his room a little bit before I would come over. Too late. He rushed into his room and started throwing clothes into a basket.
I just leaned up against the doorframe leading to the bathroom which connected my room to his. He didn't even notice I was there. "You know, I've already seen it."
Percy jumped and whipped around to face me, "What are you doing here? I wasn't expecting you until-"
"Later?" I continued as I plopped down on his bed.
"Yeah. What are you doing here?" He asked, still trying to clean his room.
I grabbed his hand, "Come with me and you'll see."
He followed me, slowly. Obviously, he was confused. He looked around the room, but still didn't understand.
"I don't get it. Who's stuff is this?" Percy asked.
I punched his arm, which was a stupid idea. My knuckles immediately started to hurt. Why dou;dn't I remember that he was invincible?
"Mine, you idiot! I'm staying here!" I shouted at him.
"What? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Can't a girl surprise her boyfriend? Plus, you never asked. Paul and your mom knew about it. I'm pretty sure even our other parents knew about it. Surprise!" I explained to him.
"Would you have told me if I had asked?"
"Nope! I told you that it was a surprise!"
He hugged me, "My mom and Paul knew about this? Why didn't they tell me?"
I backed up and sat on the bed. Percy came besides me and pulled me onto his lap. I loved it whenever he did that. I would never tell him, but it was one of my favorite things that he did.
"I asked them not to. Seaweed brain, I wanted to surprise you!" I repeated.
"How long have you been planning on this?"
I sighed, "Well, about a month ago this guy Tanner kept on picking on me. He liked me, but he showed it in the cruelest of ways. All of these girls thought I was lying about you since they never met you and the guys kept on hitting on me. Despite all of that, I still had no real friends. Maybe two weeks ago I talked to Sally about this. She invited me to stay here and I said yes. My dad made all of the arrangements for it."
"So you kept this from me for two weeks? Why didn't you tell me about your school situation? I could have helped!" Percy complained.
"Percy, I didn't want you to worry. I mean, I just wanted to deal with it on my own. And what could you have done? Beat them up?"
"Yes! They were hitting on my girlfriend! As for the girls, I'm sure Piper would kill them for you!"
"Seaweed brain, I was across the country! I didn't care that they didn't believe me. I just couldn't stand Tanner. That guy was terrible! You're not mad, are you?"
"How could I be mad at my amazing girlfriend?" he asked me as he tucked my single gray curl from holding the sky a few years back behind my ear. I looked at Percy's identical gray streak. We both held up the whole weight of the sky.
I leaned in and kissed him. A good proper kiss without anybody watching. It was the first real kiss that I had in a long time. We leaned down on the bed, him on top of me. Suddenly, Sally wandered in the room. She stopped before she could see too much, but called us out into the living room.
I just laughed, pushed Percy off of me, and ran out. Percy tried to catch up, but I was always the fastest. He had no chance of winning, especially whenever I got a head start.
I plopped down on the couch, in the middle. Percy came next to me but went to the right armrest. He dragged my legs across his lap and pulled me in closer. His arm wrapped around my shoulders as we watched the TV. My head rested against his chest. I was just happy to be back with him. Paul came to the chair off to the side and signaled for no PDA. I just laughed. Percy was already getting warned of that. I thought it would take at least another week.
"Sorry, Paul," Percy apologized. "I've just missed her so much!"
"I've missed you, too, seaweed brain!" I added.
"You two and your nicknames! They are so cute!" Sally called from the kitchen.
"Do you have any other nicknames?" Paul asked.
"Well, I considered calling her Owl Face. You, know because the owl is the sacred animal of Athena. She would always wear owls. I decided against it." Percy explained to Paul.
"I tried to call him kelp head, but it didn't work out. I've told Percy that if he turned his head sideways that water would spill out," I suggested.
"That's not a nickname!" Percy complained.
I laughed, "I know. I just like to see you complain about it!"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Next week is a swim meet. All of the guys' girlfriends come and cheer us on. I was wondering if you wanted to come." Percy was blushing. Surely, asking your girlfriend out in front of your parents is embarrassing.
"I would come even if you hadn't invited me! I have your schedule, remember?" I shouted.
"Yeah, how long did it take you to memorize that?" Percy asked me.
I tried to think about it. I had gotten it in September. "Maybe a month. It helped when you would always talk about upcoming meets and who the teams were."
"Of course you memorized it! I haven't even memorized it yet! It's been months!"
Lucky for me, I didn't have to reply because Sally called me in to help her with dinner: spaghetti. I kissed Percy's cheek and went to help. Percy didn't want me to go, but I could tell that Paul wanted to talk to him. Sally was just worried about getting ready for dinner. I decided to watch over the food.
Let me tell you, most demigods cannot cook. It just doesn't come easy for them. I tried to make cookies over Christmas for Percy and it took me forever to get it right. Sally still had to help me.
While Sally tried to set the table, Percy came in the kitchen and wrapped his arms around my waist. I let go of the spoon I was holding and rested my arms on Percy's. His lips found their way from my jaw to my neck. A tingle went through my body, but I couldn't let Percy know. He couldn't get the upper hand and possibly use that against me. I turned around to face him and responded with a kiss back. We ended up making out when Sally barged in the kitchen. My arms were wrapped around his shoulders with my fingers running through his hair.
"Percy! Get off of her! She's trying to cook!" Sally shouted at him.
I had a feeling that Paul's talk with Percy wasn't very effective. Percy pulled away and turned towards his mom, "Sorry."
"Don't apologize to me. Apologize to Annabeth! She could have gotten burned with the boiling water!" Sally commanded.
Percy turned back to me, "I'm sorry, wise girl."
"It's okay. Now Annabeth, make sure it doesn't boil over." She advised as I went back to stirring the noodles.
Percy repeated what he had done earlier. His arms around my waist, his lips making their way down my neck. I just laughed, "Seaweed brain! We already got in trouble once!" And I turned to face him.
I love all of the reviews! I made this last night also, but was going to wait until the weekend to post it. All of the reviews just made me want to post it now! Thanks! Oh, and I don't own PJO
"I just missed you so much. Why don't I ever get to kiss my girlfriend when I want to?" He shouted as his hands went and reached for the oven, imprisoning me. "You're going to have to make it up to me later, you know?"
"Oh yeah?" When I saw him nod, I continued, "And what if I don't want to?"
"Why wouldn't you?"
"Oh, Percy, I'm just so tired. I mean, seeing you for the first time in what seems like years and I just haven't slept in forever! Seeing you has just made me so tired!" I faked.
In truth, I wanted him. I wanted him so bad. I missed him more than I could admit. If I told Percy this, he would take advantage of it. He would somehow make me regret telling him. Right then, I had the upper hand. He needed to beg for it.
"Oh, come on. You know you want me to kiss you!" He shouted as he leaned in.
I saw it as the perfect opportunity to sneak under his arms and ditch him, "Your turn to stir the noodles!"
I just snickered and sauntered back to the living room.
