For the first time in nearly five years, I woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs. At first, being the genius I am, I freaked out. I threw on a shirt and rushed into the kitchen.
"Well, somebody's hungry."
"Oh, it's you. Wow, I feel stupid."
"You are stupid."
"Shut up. Is your foot feeling better?"
"No, I'm just standing on it and taking all the pain."
"Ha-ha, your hilarious, well, I'm glad you're feeling better."
"Thank you."
"So, what are you making?"
"Eggs, bacon and toast."
"You know, you didn't have to make breakfast."
"Just consider it a thank you for letting me live her for the past day."
I smiled and walked over starting the set the table. As I put the plates on I couldn't help but stare at Annabeth. Her long curly hair was bubbling over her shoulders and the sun hit her just right so the curls looked golden and her eyes gleamed. Before long she brought the food over and we ate.
"So, I was thinking after you do the dishes we can call the locksmith and get me back to my apartment."
"Sure, I know a- Hey, wait, me, do the dishes?"
"Yes, you do the dishes, I cooked."
"But that was your choice."
"Stop being such a baby."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After calling the locksmith I drove Annabeth back over to her apartment. I pulled into a parking space we just sat there for a minute. Neither one of us wanted to say goodbye. Suddenly we started to speak at the same time. She blushed and said, "You first."
"No, ladies first."
"Ugh, I hate that phrase, it's so sexist."
"Wow, touchy."
"Zip it. Anyways, I was going to ask if you wanted to come up with me. I mean, just in case the locksmith hasn't showed up yet or something."
"Sure." I replied, smiling. We got out of my car and headed towards her building. Our hands brushed at one point and I debated whether I should hold it or not. No, it would look to creepy, we were only friends right? Just friends. Soon we came to her door, it was open and under the mat was her new key. She then turned to me.
"Thanks again for letting me stay at your place."
"No problem wise girl, it's nice to have company. Even if they are free loaders."
"Hey!"
"I'm just kidding, gosh."
"Whatever seaweed brain." Then she did something that surprised me. She kissed me on the cheek, waved goodbye and went into her apartment, leaving me standing frozen in the hall. Slowly I put my hand up to me cheek and smiled. It really hadn't been bad having her over. In fact, it was great. I was pulled out of my trance when my cell phone rang. I looked at the caller id as I walked down the hall and back out to my car. Nico.
"Hello?"
"Percy! Where did you go yesterday? You do realize you left me alone with Clarisse, right? Thanks to her I now have a fucking black eye!"
"Calm down Nico, no need to be a drama queen."
"I am not being a drama queen you idiot!"
"Sheesh, I left early with Annabeth."
"Oh, I see how it is."
"What?"
"What happened to bros before hoes?"
"Um, Annabeth twisting her ankle happened."
"Oh."
"Yep."I replied, then was followed with a minute of awkward silence.
"So, you want to get a beer?"
"You do realize it's only eleven o'clock, right?"
"It's five o'clock somewhere!"
"How about we meet at Benny's at six, I'm supposed to visit my mom today."
"Momma's boy."
"Why does everyone say that!?"
"Because it's true."
"Goodbye Nico."
"Wait, wh-"
I snapped my phone shut and got into the car. After pulling back into the stand still traffic, I slowly started my way over to my mom's apartment. My friends do make fun of me all the time for being a momma's boy but hey, when you are raised by a single mom, you get pretty attached. Plus I love to see my ten year old half-sister, Rhea.
Finally I pulled into her building's parking garage. After quickly walking up the stairs to the third level, I arrived at her door. She still lived in the same apartment I grew up in and every time I came it brought back memories. I didn't even bother knocking on the door and walked right in. I was immediately greeted by Rhea watching sponge bob, not even bothering to look up from the television screen to see who walked in the door.
"Hey Perce, Moms in the kitchen."
"Thanks Rhea."
"Yep."
