As i always say, thank you for the reviews! Your reviews keep me writing! I had time to write this earlier and published it right away. If i get ten new reviews by tomorrow, i will update it. Please review!
I heard a thump as Clarisse threw her pillow across the room. We were tossing around everything in eye sight. The room looked a mess. Stuff was everywhere. I couldn't walk two steps without stepping on something. Most likely, it was clothes. A few times, I stepped on some books. I stubbed my toes every once in a while.
"Are you sure you packed it? I mean, it could just be at camp!" I suggested to her.
"I brought it! I know I did! I wore it the day we came!" Clarisse answered.
I decided to help her some more. I went into my own bra drawer to see if someone had mixed them up. Sure enough, I couldn't see it.
Clarisse lost her bra. I mean, seriously? How could she lose her own bra? The way she described it was weird. It was totally obvious that it was her absolute favorite. She told me that it was pink. Why would she wear a pink bra? That's so opposite of the Clarisse that I knew growing up. Apparently, it was a really nice one from Victoria's Secret. It was her all-time favorite.
"I can't find it anywhere!" Clarisse complained as she stripped the blankets off the bed.
"Clarisse, I can't find my bra, either! It's gone! It was right here!" I shouted as I dug through my bra drawer once again.
"Well, what does it look like? Maybe I've seen it," Clarisse asked.
"It's sea green-" I got cut off.
"Wait! Isn't that Percy's eye color?"
I blushed, "Maybe. Anyways, as I was saying! It's kind of like what you described yours to be. Actually, it's the same kind of bra."
"Where did they go?" Clarisse asked herself as she stuck her head under the bed.
I sat on the bed and held my forehead, "I really like that bra. How could it have disappeared?"
"I have no idea! I want that bra back!" I shouted.
Percy and Chris strolled in, "Hey. What's going on in here?" Chris asked.
I shut my bra drawer, "Nothing. We are doing nothing!"
"How'd your room get this way?" Percy asked as he plopped down on the bed.
"We may or may not have been looking for something that's been lost," Clarisse attempted to explain.
"What did you lose?" Chris asked as he sat down next to Percy.
Clarisse and I tried to clean the room up a little bit. We figured that it was probably best to at least get a passage way from the doors to the bed. That was probably a good idea.
"Like we're going to tell you!" I shouted.
"Oh, come on!" Percy begged as he forced me to sit on his lap.
I poked his nose, "Still not gonna tell you!"
Chris tried to do the same thing with Clarisse, but she rejected, "No, Chris. We are not going to tell you what we lost!"
"Come on! We want to know!" Chris commanded.
"Stop asking! If we want you to know, we'll tell you!" I finalized.
"You are so asking for it," Percy sighed as his hands moved to my sides.
It took me forever to realize what was happening. His fingers started to wiggle as they touched my sides. He was starting to tickle me! How could he do that? I began to crack up. I fell off of Percy's lap and onto the bed. My legs flared up into the air as he continued to tickle me.
"Percy stop!" I commanded in between laughs.
"Not until you tell us about what you lost," Percy tried to compromise.
Clarisse gagged, "Please, Percy. Stop!"
He finally gave up. I moved off of the bed and folded my arms over my chest. I stood next to Clarisse who was in the same position as I was. When I glanced up at her, I laughed. She started to laugh, too. We didn't even know why we were laughing. Well, I didn't. I wasn't sure if she knew. The boys just looked at us like we were crazy in the heads or something. They were right. We kind of are crazy.
~o~
"What kind of bra do you want now?" Percy asked me as we searched the racks in Victoria's Secret.
Clarisse finally gave up and told Chris that we had lost our bras. Of course, he told Percy. I wanted to go shopping for another one with Clarisse, but she didn't want to step foot in Victoria's Secret. She had already done it once. It had scarred her enough. None of my friends wanted to go with me since they wanted to be with their boyfriends. The only other person was Hannah, but she was sick. So, I had to go with Percy.
"Probably the same kind that I had last time. I really liked that bra," I mentioned.
"Yeah, I remember it in the laundry. Wasn't it sea green?" Percy asked as he picked up two bras for me to choose from.
I rejected them, "Maybe."
"Does that have anything to do with my eyes? They are sea green." Percy suggested.
"Sea green is my favorite color! I mean, what's wrong with that?" I asked him.
"I think it's because of my eyes." Percy muttered.
I picked up a few from a rack, "You're so full of yourself!"
"Let me see what you've chosen."
I pulled them away and ran to a fitting room without letting him see them, "Nope. You'll just have to wait!"
After trying on a few, I decided on a bra. It was almost the same as the one I lost. It was the same color. Yes, sea green is my favorite color. Percy was right; it was because of his eyes. They're so beautiful! I could never tell him that, though. I couldn't tell him a bunch of stuff like that. He would get too cocky. I couldn't let that happen.
I still didn't let him see the bra. If he knew that it was sea green after he mentioned it, I would be dead. He would have found out. I didn't even let him see it when HE paid for it. Percy was getting kind of mad the more I hid it from him. Why would I let him see? Did I mention that I had to get one for Clarisse, too? I did. I got the same one as mine. The same exact color.
"Did you find our missing bras?" Clarisse asked.
"No! I did pick up your bra, though!" I replied as I tossed her the new bra.
She looked at it, "It's the color of your boyfriend's eyes. Why would I want this?"
"I don't know. I just didn't want to bother finding another one," I laughed.
"Oh, so it's not because you wanted me to have a bra that matches your bra or your boyfriend's eyes?"
"That's totally not the case!"
"It so is! Don't even try to deny it!"
I gave up, "Fine! Seriously, though, I was pretty tired and didn't want to go find another bra before Percy could see them."
"You didn't let Percy see them? Wait, Percy went?"
Gods, Clarisse was pretty good at girl talk. It was going to take a while to catch up, especially now that I haven't been at school in forever to practice girl talk with my friends. I really needed the practice.
"No one else could go. You didn't want to go. What else was I supposed to do? I have no money!" I complained.
"You still had to get me the bra the color of Jackson's eyes?"
"Oh my gods! Can you just get over it? We need to find our other bras!"
"Maybe they're in Percy's room. We never looked in there."
"No, Percy wouldn't steal my bra. He had no idea we even lost them. He couldn't have stolen my bra." I muttered.
Could he?
"I guess, but that's what guys do. I mean, I remember at camp Travis did that to Katie. She did sleep in his cabin, though. That may have helped it," Clarisse thought out loud.
"Percy doesn't. I know him and he doesn't do that type of stuff. Well, there was that one time when he stole the hair brushes from the Aphrodite cabin. He also put shaving cream in the whipped cream canisters that the Hermes cabin stole. Maybe he did do it!" I finished.
"Exactly, I think he did it."
"Oh, and like Chris wouldn't do it?" I asked her.
"Chris wouldn't-actually he would do something like that! That sounds a lot like him!" Clarisse shouted.
We both angrily collected the boys and dragged them into Percy's room. Clarisse forced them to sit down on the bed. After being all aggressive, we acted nice. I sat on Percy's lap and rubbed his cheeks. Clarisse-this really scared me-did the same thing to Chris. I freaked out more than Chris did. Or Percy for that matter. Apparently, Clarisse did this every once in a while to Chris. He loved it.
"Hey, you know what we've been thinking about?" I asked in a seductive voice.
"What is that?" Percy replied.
"Well, we've been thinking long and hard," Clarisse answered.
"About what?" Chris asked again.
"It's more about our bras. I mean, we just can't find them anywhere!" I pouted.
"We thought someone had broken in here while Annabeth was knocked out and we were busy," Clarisse mentioned.
"Are you sure?" Chris asked.
"How could someone have broken in here? I mean, I was always at your side." Percy told me.
"But you weren't here when you were at school! Chris and Clarisse could have gone to do something and left me alone. That pervert could have stolen our bras! Why did you leave me with them, Percy? Why?" I demanded in a sad voice. I faked crying and put my face on Percy's shoulder.
"I –I didn't mean to?" Percy asked.
"I feel so bad that it happened! It was our entire fault!" Clarisse pouted and started to cry. She did the same thing that I did.
"We should have been more careful?'' Chris asked.
"I can't believe this! I mean, I feel terrible! This could lead to whole lot worse things!" I cried out.
"It's okay. I think we have to say something," Percy called out to Chris.
Chris nodded, "Yeah, um, your bras aren't with some random dude. They're in that drawer over there."
I stood up, "Wait! This whole time you had my bra, Percy?" I asked in between fake sobs.
"No, I mean, yes. I did, but I didn't steal it!" Percy shouted in defense.
"Who did?" Clarisse asked.
"I did. It was supposed to be just a prank." Chris admitted.
"You stole our bras, Chris? How could you? That's so mean!" Clarisse asked all sweetly.
Percy reached up to the drawer and grabbed them out, "Here, I'm sorry. Chris didn't want to get in trouble. We couldn't give them back to you without you being all judgy and all that."
Clarisse and I both started laughing. "Seaweed brain, we knew you had them." I told him.
"You did?" He asked.
"Yep. We knew all about it. Your room was the only place that we didn't look. Obviously, you two had it." Clarisse explained.
"Why didn't you tell us? You had to make us feel bad?" Chris asked.
"You felt bad? That was totally stupid!" I laughed. "We are really bad actors!"
"I mean, I felt bad. It was my fault!" Chris complained.
Percy hugged me, "I just wanted to tell you the truth! I hate lying to you. It makes me feel bad!"
"Thanks, but I still don't forgive you, Chris. I have to burn this bra now!" I sighed as I threw the bra in the trash.
"I, for one, am keeping the bra. I don't really appreciate the sea green bra that you got me, Percy!" Clarisse stated. "I don't want my bra to match your boyfriend's eyes, Annabeth!"
Percy smirked at me, "So it did have to do with my eyes. Don't worry, I wear gray all the time!"
"I hope that doesn't mean what I hope it means!" I pleaded.
"Let's just say that I normally change boxers before I go to sleep," Percy whispered into my ear as I started to turn around.
I hit him, "What?"
"I have to burn my ears now!" Clarisse yelled as she ran out the room.
"I'm gonna go apologize again. And again. And again." Chris joked as he sauntered out after Clarisse.
Percy closed the door, "You really knew?"
"Yeah, why did you not tell me earlier? I could've handled it. Wait-why did he even take mine? I mean, I get taking Clarisse's, but mine?" I asked in confusion.
"I don't know. He was like all look what I have. Chris convinced me to take yours, but I wouldn't. He did it for me. I really wanted to tell you. I didn't know how. I kept on looking at it and wanting to give it back to you." Percy explained.
"You would stare at my bra?" I asked.
"Did I say that? I don't recall that!" He blushed.
"I'm pretty sure you did! I remember it very clearly!"
"Oh, okay. I still don't remember."
"I do, but I don't really care. You could look at it all you want. I mean, it's not like I don't stare at your abs all the time!"
"Oh, so you like my abs?"
"They are pretty hot! I mean, they are amazing!" I replied as I hopped on the bed.
"My abs are pretty awesome! Look at them!" He lifted up his shirt, "They are awesome!"
I laughed, "They are awesome and very distracting, especially when you're only wearing your boxers. They look great! How do they look above gray boxers?"
He crawled next to me, "They look amazing!"
"And why didn't you tell me that you wear boxers the same color as my eyes? Do you wear the same boxers?" The last part I asked in disgust.
"No, I have a few pairs of them, actually."
"You have a few pairs of boxers that match my eyes?"
"Maybe." He sighed and looked down.
I lifted up his chin with my finger, "Well, I like the fact that you do. It's sweet!" I added as I leaned into him.
In response, he leaned in, too. Our lips met in the middle. They met again and again. Slowly, we inched back onto the bed. Percy took off his shirt to show me his amazing abs. I could see a little bit of his gray boxers. They did look good below Percy's abs.
