Look Out Ladies, Here I Come!

A/N: I must say, not at all happy with the meager response I've been getting. Guys, it'll be a wonderful story! Just give it a chance! Meanwhile, here's another chapter. Also, let's pretend that Jason is Percy's best friend, not Grover. There will be some explicit scenes and a few swear words here and there. Don't say I didn't warn you. It is rated T after all.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Three years later:

"Baby, please get me another mug of coffee." Rachel held out her mug without looking up from her paper, which was taken by a raven-haired, sea-green-eyed, crazy guy we all know and love. He poured out steaming black coffee for her and handed it back. He stepped back and admired the view. An amazing kitchen with yellow walls and wooden floor, set with a glass table met his eyes. And smack-dab in the middle of the room, relaxing in a chair, sat his hot, sexy, redhead girlfriend (not to mention almost naked).

After Switzerland, he'd finished his studies and gotten an amazing job at a video game company with a great salary right after. He'd bought an apartment in New York, furnished with slick, wooden furniture and sea-green and blue walls and ornaments. He'd met Rachel Elizabeth Dare, an aspiring model and actress, when he moved in to this building.

Flashback:

Percy finished pulling in the last box and looked around satisfactorily at his new home. He hadn't forgotten Calypso but he was willing to move on, knowing she'd always have a special place in his heart. He walked into the living room and plopped down on the sofa, ready for a nap. Just then loud music blasted through the wall. He fell off the sofa and landed on his butt.

"HEY! KEEP IT DOWN IN THERE!" he yelled at the wall. He got a reply, "WHY SHOULD I? YOU'RE THE ONE WHO DIDN'T SOUNDPROOF HIS WALLS!" It was a girl. He stormed out and banged on her door. It was opened by a leggy redhead in a tank top and shorts bopping her head to 'Poker Face'.

"What do you want?" she asked. "All I want is for you to turn down the music." "Why should I do that?" "Because there are some exhausted people who want to take a nap after hauling boxes the whole day!" "Sorry, I didn't know. I'll do that right now." She smiled and headed in. The volume lowered considerably a few moments later. He smiled and headed back in. He lay down and waiting for sleep to take over him, thoughts of a certain redhead circling in his mind.

A few weeks later:

Percy knocked on her door. "Hi," she smiled at him. He held up two mugs of hot coffee. "Can I come in?" She nodded and he walked in after her. She led him to the covered balcony, set with a few armchairs. They sat down and he handed her the mug. She set down a huge pizza. "I was hungry!" she said defensively at Percy's smirk. He just laughed and they dug in enthusiastically.

The next day, she came over and they spent the day talking and mucking around. It became a routine to spend the day with each other whenever they were both free.

One day, they decided to spend the day together at the park. They were laughing and having fun together when it started pouring. Rachel, dressed in her usual tank and shorts, got drenched immediately and Percy's white shirt became transparent. They ran back to the apartment complex and stumbled into the lift laughing.

They were halfway up when the lift stopped. "Shit!" they exclaimed in unison. An announcement came on, "Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for the inconvenience; it seems our system has a problem. We are currently working on it and hope to have it resolved in less than fifteen minutes."

Percy and Rachel seemed to realize their situation. Two young adults, looking for partners, soaked to the skin in an elevator with a shit-load of sexual energy. What did you expect? Percy leaned closer to her and she leaned in too. Their lips met in a fiery and passionate kiss. His arms sneaked around her waist and pulled her in. They were jolted apart by the lift starting up again. They looked at each other and knew they'd be continuing upstairs.

The lift reached their floor. By mutual consent, both made their way to Percy's apartment. They stumbled into the bedroom and before she'd even got her clothes off, Percy had picked her up and put her against the wall, the skin-to-skin contact sending tendrils of fire all over their bodies. They kissed hungrily, passionately, wanting more and more. He tugged off his shorts and her clothes, or what was left of them and trailed kisses down her neck, her collarbones, her breasts and down to her stomach. He put her on the bed and lowered himself onto her. "Are you sure?" She nodded. He grinned and didn't ask any further as he slipped inside her, thrusting faster and faster as she moaned under him. He grinned, enjoying the feeling of control he had over her and yet, realizing that he was falling in love. Again.

Two weeks later, they had the separating walls removed and moved in together.

Flashback ends.

He shrugged off the memories of the past and said, "Babe, I need to go in to work today urgently."

"But it's Sunday! We were supposed to go to the beach!"

"I know Rach, but Mr. Adams says it's really important. I promise I'll be back as soon as I can. Then, I'll take you wherever you want to go." She pouted and nodded and it took all he had not to give this up and fuck her again. He gave her a quick kiss and grabbed his jacket and keys and went down to his car.

Three hours later, Percy was already driving back to his apartment in shock. It had been really good news. The newest game they'd designed had been a mega-hit. There was a celebratory party in the midst of which Percy had been pulled aside by his boss and told something. He'd left the party, wanting to break the news to his girlfriend on his own. So here he was, driving to the second love of his life, about to tell her the news which would determine the future of their relationship.

He pulled up to the building and handed his keys to the valet. Nervously, he made his way up to his floor, wondering how to approach the topic. He opened the door and found her in their gym, practicing yoga. He cleared his throat and she stopped, looked at him and smiled. She came over to kiss him and he hugged her back. "Rachel, there's something we need to talk about."

"What is it sweetie?"

"Let's sit on the sofa."

Once they were seated, he continued, "Rach, my boss talked to me today. Our newest game has been a hit and he gave me an offer I accepted. If it hadn't affected my career, I wouldn't have done it but I'm sure you'll understand."

"What is it baby?"

"Rachel, I got promoted to head of design and this requires me to- to be in Sydney."

"You mean, Australia?!" she screeched.

"Yes baby." She calmed down and thought a moment.

"Well, we'll have to do it soon."

"We'll have to do what soon?"

"Get married, of course!"

A/N: Dun da da! How'd you like it? I personally enjoyed this chapter a lot! Review!
