Thanks for the reviews! I love hearing your ideas! Leave anything you want to know in a review. Please review!
I made Percy at least start his homework. I helped him after I finished the math. We have the same class, but he is so slow. Him and math are mortal enemies. Percy also had to do science. Science was a little bit easier, but I still had to help him. I just wanted to laugh.
When we finished, we just talked. My head rested in his lap, my knees up. He played around with my hair.
"So, your dad is okay with you living here?" Percy asked after a while.
"Percy, all summer you live alone in a cabin. No parents! I think he's more afraid of me going to camp with you than me coming to live with you, Sally, and Paul." I told him.
"Oh, yeah. How much have you missed me?"
"A lot! You don't know how many pigs there were at my school. I'm sure Circe wouldn't even need to use magic on them! Ugh! They just couldn't accept the fact that I have an amazing boyfriend!"
"I am pretty awesome! It's the same thing here. All of the girls here like me. I mean, I know that I'm totally amazing, but they should just get over the fact that I'm in a relationship! Especially Sierra and her clique! They bother me the most!"
"Yeah, I met her today. She seems a lot like Drew. And you know how much I despise her! Those types of girls just bother the crap out of me!"
"No one likes Sierra or her friends. I'm pretty sure their boyfriends don't even like them."
"Holy Hephaestus! They have boyfriends? Why would anybody go out with them?"
"They're dumb jocks. I don't think they have ever played football with helmets on."
I laughed, "Swimmers are way hotter. Plus, they wear less clothes."
"Oh, now you are happy that I'm on the swim team? I thought you said I was a cheater."
"You are, but I'll get over it because you wear practically no clothes. Sierra really likes you. Probably for the same reasons that I love you. She came up to me and told me to back off. Apparently, you belong to her. Does she not realize that I could easily kill her?"
Percy just smirked, "No, she doesn't. Don't worry. She's just jealous of how beautiful you are. I would never leave you. Especially not for someone like that!"
"I know you wouldn't. I wouldn't leave you, either. I love you Seaweed brain!"
I got up and kissed him square on the lips. He kissed back. Over and over again. I leaned back with him on top of me. My hands rubbed through his hair. His hands traveled up and down my hips. I flipped us over so I was on top. Just how I like it. I pulled away before I was tempted to go further. He just pouted and I smiled.
"Come on, Seaweed brain!"
"But I was enjoying that!" He shouted back, loud enough for Sally and Paul to hear.
I shoved my hand over his mouth, "Shhh! They'll hear you!" But I couldn't stop laughing, myself.
Percy gripped my hand and pulled it off of his mouth. It didn't hurt, but it shocked me. He took control of the situation, which didn't really happened that often. He planted another kiss on my lips.
"I need to go shower!" I informed him.
"Let's go," He told me as he tried to sit up.
I pushed him back down, "I meant alone!"
"Fine. I'll go after you. Have fun!" He cried after I shut the door to the bathroom.
I didn't take too long to shower. I guess it took longer than Percy would have taken. I can't help it. I am a girl. Girls take longer showers than guys. Plus, I had to shave my legs, which always took longer. The shower gave me time to think. Think about my new school. Think about Percy. Think about Olympus. Think about Sierra and all of those girls crushing on Percy. My shower took longer than I intended.
I heard the door creak open. It was Percy, shouting, "Hurry up, Wise girl! I need to shower, too. It's already nine thirty!"
"Sorry! I'll be out in a minute! Or five!" I yelled back at him.
The door closed again and I was alone. I finished pretty quick after that. I could faintly hear Percy complain about girls and showers. I left the bathroom to change into a t-shirt that I had stolen from Percy during camp last summer and some pj shorts. Percy took less than three minutes to finish up. He probably willed the water to come out faster. Stupid son of the sea god. He always cheated. How else would he have made the swim team? It came easy to him.
I wrote in my diary for a few minutes until Percy came in to kiss me goodnight. I quickly hid the diary as Percy sauntered in, wearing his lightning boxers (yep, that's what he sleeps in).
"What's that?" He asked as he sat down on the edge of my bed.
"What's what? Percy, I think the chlorine is getting to your head!" I asked.
"No. I saw you put something underneath the blanket. What is it?"
Before I knew it, he attacked me in a tickle frenzy. He came over me, attempting to reach the diary that I was holding on to for dear life. In the end, he pried it from my hands when he tickled me in the right spot: my waist. I cursed myself for telling him about that spot. Nothing I could do about it now.
He held it up to read the cover. Even with his dyslexia, he read it pretty fast. "Annabeth's Diary. Oh, a diary! I wonder what juicy stuff you've written in here about me."
"Percy, give it back!" I shouted at him, but he held it higher into the air where I couldn't reach.
"Nope. I think I may just take this and read through it a few times. Do you have any more?" He added as a smirk crept along his lips.
I leaped up and climbed on top of his shoulders. He didn't expect it, so I could grab back my diary. I held it over my head, so he couldn't reach it no matter how hard he tried. I leaned over his head and kissed his lips, "Thanks, seaweed brain!"
"Really? That's unfair! I was in shock." Percy tried to argue.
"Yeah, and what would happen if a monster did that? Would you just sit there and be in shock? No, because you would die." I asked as I climbed back to my bed.
"By that time, the monster would already be dead."
I kissed him good night, "Goodnight, seaweed brain!"
"Goodnight, wise girl!" He replied as he left.
I turned off the light and tried to go to sleep. My ADHD just kept on acting up and wouldn't let me fall asleep. The bathroom door was open so I could see that Percy's light went off a long time ago. My mind just kept rattling on about nonsense. By eleven, I was exhausted, but my eyes didn't want to stop working just yet.
I decided to go look at Percy. Maybe I could sneak in and he wouldn't wake up. I could just find my way into his bed and finally sleep. It would be like that one night at camp when I did the same thing. He had no idea I was in there until that morning. This time, I wasn't so lucky. Percy was awake. He was obviously having problems trying to sleep, too.
I just stood there, arms crossed against my chest. He sat up and looked at me.
"Couldn't sleep, wise girl?" He asked.
I didn't feel like talking, so I just shook my head. Percy patted the part of the bed beside him and made room for me, "Come here."
I crawled in next to him. I buried my face in the crook of his neck. He wrapped his arms around me. His chest was pressed up against me. Gently, he kissed the top of my head. I fell asleep in no time.
When I woke up, Percy was still there. We hadn't moved since I fell asleep. I looked up at him and noticed some drool coming out of his mouth. I remember that being one of the first things I said to him when he came to camp. That seemed like so long ago. Then I realized that his drool could have gotten on my head. I moved to where I could see the top of the pillow. The drool had not reached where my head was placed. I was saved.
Percy was still asleep. No matter how much a shook his shoulder or whispered his name into his ear, he still didn't wake up. Nothing else worked, so I decided to try another tactic. I poured a glass of water on him that was resting on his night stand. Lucky for him, the water maneuvered everywhere except on top of him. It even got on me.
"Gods and Titans, Percy! Sometimes I hate you being a son of Poseidon!" I yelled.
"Love you, too, wise girl!" Percy muttered.
His eyes were still closed, but he was awake. I had to try something else to get him to actually get up. I kissed him. He kissed me back. I released before ten seconds were up.
"Get up, seaweed Brain! There'll be more where that came from if you do!" I whispered into his ear.
I ran away before I could see him try to get up. He wanted those kisses. I heard a thump and assumed it was Percy falling on the floor. I snickered as I strolled into the kitchen.
Sally had made us blue pancakes. I always loved her blue food. She was a great cook. I just prayed that Percy would end up with some of those traits. Percy sprinted in after putting on some actual pants. I couldn't stop staring at his amazing abs. He fell, again, once he reached the table. This time, he landed on his butt. That got me away from staring at his hot abs.
"How did you sleep, Annabeth?" Sally asked me.
I contemplated over telling her that I didn't sleep there or not. "Um, fine. The bed was really comfy!" I wasn't lying. The bed was nice, but I just couldn't fall asleep in it.
"That's great! You know, it used to be Percy's. He outgrew it last year when he finally went through that growth spurt!" Sally explained.
"Mom!" Percy complained as his face turned beat red.
"It took him long enough!" I laughed, "I thought I was always going to be taller than him!"
"I wasn't always shorter than you. It was only when we went into the labyrinth. After that, I was the same height as you!" Percy told us.
"Okay, if that makes you feel better," I spit out.
Sally tried to change the subject before Percy got any more embarrassed, "Paul and I are going out today. You guys can stay here, but no monkey business. Don't do anything that you wouldn't do with us here."
Percy and I both burst out laughing.
"where are you going?" Percy asked.
"Paul won't tell me exactly where. All I know is a movie and then shopping. For food and clothes." Sally explained a little bit further.
"It's a surprise!" Paul shouted as he waltzed in the room.
"Yes, so we won't be back until later. I'm thinking seven or earlier. Six at the earliest. You should order pizza for lunch. Percy, maybe you should take Annabeth out." Sally suggested.
"I don't really want to go out. Just staying here is fine with me," I added.
"Well, if you do want to go out, ever, just tell me. I'll make sure Percy takes you." Sally smiled and glared at Percy.
"She doesn't have to tell you! I can take her out without being forced to! Mom, you don't have to make me do it!" Percy blushed, again.
I just started to laugh as Paul guided Sally out the door. When they were gone, I went to change into something more attractive. Wow. How Aphrodite of me. Anyways, I changed into a t-shirt and some shorts. It wasn't very attractive, but it looked better than a too large t-shirt and baggy pj shorts. At least I got jean shorts.
I sauntered over to Percy, who was still eating. He was still shirtless. My heart did a little cartwheel. I sat on Percy's lap and wrapped my arms around his neck. He was finished eating, now. He gently kissed my temple.
"What do you want to do now that we're alone?" Percy asked.
"How about a movie? Do you have any of those?" I asked.
In answer, Percy just lifted me up bridle style and carried me over to the couch. He wouldn't let me sit anywhere besides his lap. I didn't mind. His lap was one of my favorite places to be. There was the Hercules movie on. We decided to watch it. It was always funny to see what info the mortals got wrong. Percy kept on rubbing my back. I found it comforting.
In the middle of the movie, I was getting bored. I blame the ADHD. The mortals weren't very good at depicting the truth. However, unlike me, Percy was paying close attention to the movie. He knew that it was wrong. I had taught him all about Hercules. I decided to distract him. I started to kiss him. That got his attention. We kissed over and over again. We continued until I was lying on my back, still on the couch.
"Percy, your mom said no monkey business!" I whispered into his ear as his lips made their way down my neck.
"No one's acting like a monkey. I would say there is no monkey business going on here." Percy reminded me as he took a breath. He found his way to my weak spot: right between my collarbone and the edge of my neck. I cringed. A shudder went through my body, to my toes. It felt good. I lifted up his chin and kissed him.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Pretty sure. Unless, wait, are you being a monkey?"
"Nope!"
