Look Out Ladies, Here I Come!

A/N: Yeah, so I lied. I did say that I'd update faster because I would be on vacation, but the thing is that I just felt too lazy to actually switch on my laptop, wait for it to load, type up an author's note and a whole chapter and then update as well. Technically, while I'm writing this, I'm on vacation still, but when I update this, I'll be on a plane or home. WAAAAAAAH! I hate leaving the beach. It's just so peaceful! Anyway, summer holidays now so maybe you'll get slightly more frequent updates. I also opened up a poll for my new story which I will put up once I get enough votes, say in a week? Okay!

Percy nuzzled her neck. "Oh gods, Percy!" The girl moaned sensually. He smiled against her skin. What was her name again? Debbie, Dawn… Becky? Yeah, Becky. "Oh Becky…"

"What? My name's Claudia!"

"Okay, okay, Claudia! Becky must have been another one." He mollified her. They were making out in the back of a cab, on the way to her place for their… nightly activities. The cab came to a stop and they hopped out. The driver rolled down the window to reveal a girl. "That'll be ten dollars twenty please. Thanks." She counted the money and put it in a box. Percy took this time to study her. She had waves of flowing blonde hair, stormy grey eyes and princess pink lips.

She turned back and scribbled a number on his palm. "My name's Annabeth Chase. This is my business number. Call me if you need a cab."

"Why are you giving me this?"

"I have a feeling that you'll be thrown out quite soon." She laughed, rolled up the widow and drove away. Percy shrugged and picked up Claudia, kissing her and stumbling up to her apartment.

(Line break-)

"… and stay out!" Percy fell onto the hard pavement. "But Becky-"

"My name's Claudia!"

"Claudia, at least give me my clothes back!"

"Forget about them! Buy new ones! I'm not giving them!"

"Please!"

"No!"

Percy sighed. The number on his hand caught his eye. He got up and walked to a phone booth. "Hey Annabeth? Can you pick me up?"

Ten minute later, she pulled up in front of the building and promptly burst out laughing at the sight of a shivering Percy, wearing only boxers, sitting on a metal bench like a child that's been punished. "It's not funny!" Percy pouted. "Sorry, but you look just ridi-ridiculous, sitting there li-like that!" She struggled to control her laughter and bent over breathlessly. Once she managed to keep quiet, she opened the door and let Percy in. He gave her an address and they drove off.

(Line break-)

Percy shivered and dialed the number now permanently etched in his mind. Nearly half an hour later, Annabeth pulled up in front of him. She made a tsk-tsk sound. "My, my, Mr. Jackson, we must stop meeting like this." He just grumbled and climbed in. Then, all of a sudden, an idea popped into his head. "Hey, you hungry?"

"Um, yeah. Why?"

"Let's eat breakfast. It's on me."

"Okay, I'm not going to refuse free food." Percy directed her to a small café. "I can't really go in there. You'll have to go for the food."

"Uh-uh. You're coming with me."

"Please?"

"No."

"Pretty please with an ice-cream sundae on top?"

"Nope."

"Okay!" he stomped in after her, ignoring the weird looks he received from the men and the lustful gazes of the women. "Hi," Annabeth greeted the barista, "we'll have two cappuccinos, a blueberry muffin, two pancake platters and a chocolate croissant."

"Coming right up. To eat or takeaway?"

"Takeaway please."

"Alright." They waited for a while till she handed them a bag and coffee each. They smiled, thanked her and went to the cab. "We're not eating here," said Annabeth firmly. She drove them to an abandoned bridge. They hopped on and opened up their packs. Percy dug in hungrily and Annabeth looked at him weirdly before doing the same. For a while, they just ate and then-

"Hey Annie?"

"Don't call me that."

"Okay, Annabeth, tell me one thing: here you are, a girl living alone in Sydney, working as a cab driver. Don't you feel scared?"

"Sweetie, I have a hockey stick and baseball bat in my trunk, a Swiss knife in one pocket and pepper spray in the other. On top of that, I know karate. I don't think I need to be scared actually."

"Touché." They burst out laughing.

Percy looked at her and noted how perfect she looked: blonde hair flying like a halo as she rocked back and forth, eyes scrunched up, cheeks red from laughing and her mouth open as she snorted and tried (unsuccessfully, he might add) to stifle her laughter. His heart fluttered in his chest. He recognized those feelings.

Oh Gods, this isn't good. Here we go again.

A/N: Short one, I know. But, I managed to introduce Annabeth anyways! Review please!
