Annabeth's POV
I woke up in Percy's arms. I was shocked at first because I forgot that last night I asked Percy to sleep with me last night.
He looked so happy when he slept. I wanted to lay there forever but this was the first time we actually had a real place to stay. That means one thing...a shower.
After a while trying to get out of Percy's arm I kissed him softly on the cheek and proceeded into the shower. I looked in the shower and realized I looked a mess! There was dirt and grime all over my face and clothes. I had to get clean. Soon. Today was our fast day were we can actually just hang out and be normal teenagers. I mean no monsters would come back for a while after what Percy did to the chimeras. My head hurt just thinking about it.
I quickly walked into the shower and started the water. It was so warm and it felt so nice against my skin. I really needed this bad. After running from monsters and sleeping in cave's this was paradise.
I was enjoying my shower until I heard a noise outside my shower curtains. I sneak a peek and there was Percy brushing his teeth while I'm in the shower!
"GET OUT OF HERE PERCY!" I yelled at him.
"What?" Percy said sleepily.
I just realized Percy was still half asleep.
I got so angry I grabbed a bar of soap and threw it at him
Hit him square on the forehead.
"Ouch Wise Girl what was that for!" Percy groaned.
"That's for being such a kelp for brains!" I said with a pout.
Percy then realized what happened and got so red in the face I couldn't help but grin. Then I realized that the soap I threw at Percy was the one I needed.
"Ummmm...Seaweed Brains...can you get that bar of soap." I said so quietly Percy barely heard me.
He walked up and picked up the soap and crept slowly towards the shower.
I noticed he was covering his eyes except for a tiny hole.
"Percy I swear to the gods!" I screamed.
He quickly covered them and handed me the bar of soap.
"Sorry Annabeth!" he said as he quickly ran out of the bathroom.
I couldn't help but laugh. It was to funny. Then my water turned suddenly from nice hot warm to freezing ice cold. I heard Percy laughing his head off outside the door as I screamed in shock.
"I'm going to kill you Dolphin Breath!" I yelled.
Percy's POV
After what seemed like an hour Annabeth finally got out of the shower. She looked red in the face and I looked in her eyes and I could just tell what they were saying.
You are so dead Seaweed Brains.
Then she walked up to me and did something that surprised me.
She kissed me.
"Alright Seaweed Brains take a bath you reek." she exclaimed. I was still shocked from the kiss but I quickly asked what that was for.
She just told me that I'll find out later. She told me to hurry up and take a shower so we could hang out in the city. It would be nice to spend a day with my FRIEND. I could just see my dad smiling looking at me like sure friends all right. Although I really liked Annabeth I wasn't going to ask her out until I found that place where we could stay safe forever and not have to worry about monsters like the chimera. Then I remembered the night we shared yesterday how I saved her and how I carried her to the hotel. How I told her she meant a lot to me...
I quickly took my shower and put on a DC shirt and a pair of jeans. My shower was way quicker than Annabeth's. When they said girls took forever they weren't kidding.
I got up walked over to Annabeth who was staring out the window of our hotel room.
"Ready to spend a day like a normal coup- I mean teenagers!" Annabeth squeaked.
I thought it was so cute how she did that. The look of red in her face.
We quickly left the room and ran into town.
We found a nearby arcade and sadly I was treating. Annabeth apparently didn't have any cash when she left to come after me. So I was stuck paying for everything. She said it was proper manners for a guy to pay for his...then she just cut off.
We played a few arcade games. She beat me in a game of Need for Speed but I creamed her in some basketball. She then dragged me over to a photobooth.
"Why do we need photo's Wise Girl?" I asked
"Are you that thick Seaweed Brains?" She said.
So I can remember the day we actually got to hang out for the first time.
She pulled me into the booth and we started the machine's timer for the first photo. We both made a face and just laughed. So the first photo was a picture of us laughing at each other.
She was like I just want a normal photo so she clicked the button on the machine again and started the time for the second photo. I put my arm around her neck and said, "Smile Wise Girl." As it took the picture.
She looked so happy next to me I just looked at her and we ended up staring at each other as the machine got another picture of us staring at each other. Then it was finally the last picture and as I clicked the button I accidentally grabbed Annabeth's hand and she just looked at me and we lean in for a kiss. The machine took our picture.
She took out the pictures of us and looked at all of them.
"Your such a Kelp for brains." she giggled and she grabbed my hand to the next stop.
Annabeth's POV
After our photo booth adventure I was so happy. I got a picture of us ummm kissing. I'm so glad I finally got that thick head of his to kiss me.
Percy took me to a souvenir shop and when I was looking around Percy brings up a little stuffed owl and I loved it! He even bought it for me. I was so happy. I didn't know why but I loved owl's they were my favorite animal.
We went from shop to shop until I finally found something Percy would like. It was a little pendant with a trident on it. I knew Percy would love it because of his dad.
I still wanted to know who my mother was. It was killing me inside but I stayed calm because spending time with Percy took my mind off it.
I bought it for him when I told him I had to use the restroom. It was a nice gift for Percy I knew he would love it! We finally finished shopping for everything well everything. We meet a few locals around the city and a group of girls giggled when they saw me and Percy together.
I wish we could live normal lives back in San Francisco but I knew we couldn't we weren't mortal like they were.
We were walking down the street to find someplace to eat when this like when some Asian girl walks up and starts flirting with Percy!
It made me sick to my stomach
She was wearing a pink top with skinny jeans showing off her figure. She was like one of those girls that would sleep with anyone.
"Hi I'm Drew...Drew Tanaka." She said bashing her eyelashes.
"Are you new around here? I can help you loook around if you want. I know a looot of fun places where we can hang out and have fun. " She said.
Her voice was so persuasive. It was like she could control anybody just by her voice. I thought for a horrible second that Percy was going go with Drew and just leave me here.
"Ummmm Drew thanks but I'm here with my girlfriend, Annabeth." Percy exclaimed.
When I heard the word girlfriend my face turned red as a tomato.
She got an angry look in her eyes and said, "This giirl? You can do sooo much better come with me, pleease? Me and my friends will show you a wonderful time in this town. Please why would you want to hang out with her. E-W-W!"
I felt so bad right then. Then Percy did something that made my heart jump.
He looked at Drew in the eye and said, "Excuse me? I would rather spend my day with Annabeth here than a minute with you! Why don't you go off somewhere with your friends somewhere. I don't want your herpes anyway"
With that she stormed away. I was sure she wasn't going to bother us again. I just looked at him and smiled with everything I was feeling. He was the best ever.
We walked down the road a little more and I said, "So about that girlfriend thing..."
"Oh yeah nice word play right. I totally got her into believing me there." He exclaimed.
I dropped my bags and just looked at him in the face.
"What?! It was just an act!? How thick headed can you be! Just leave me alone Percy. Go hang out with Drew or something! How can you be so blind."
I ran off I saw the Pyramid Lake in the horizon and took off there.
Percy's POV
What have I done. I should of never done something so stupid! I ran after Annabeth. She was going for the lake. The sun was setting soon and I knew it would be dark out and demigods weren't safe out alone at night.
She was really quick on her feet honestly. I couldn't keep up. I knew where she was headed though so that was good. I had to explain to her everything. I'm not going to hide how I feel about her anymore.
That is what got me into this situation in the first place.
Dumb Drew had to get between me and Annabeth did you I though. As I finally caught up to her by the lake I saw her sitting near the shore. She was staring at the lake crying little tears holding the little stuffed owl I bought her. I walked up behind her and hugged her from behind.
"I'm sorry Annabeth. I didn't mean to hurt you." I said.
She looks and me with tears in her eyes and said, "Percy why can't you get it through your thick head. You mean the world to me! I don't know where I would be without you right now. I would be lost without you. "
"Annabeth...You mean the world to me to! My life isn't the same without you! Without all your wise choices and help I would probably be dead right now! You get me through this Annabeth. Please don't be mad at me. I couldn't bear it."
She looks at me with her beautiful grey eyes and says, "Oh Percy. That's so sweet but why wouldn't you want to...you know."
She looked embarrassed to say it but I knew what she meant.
"Because Annabeth I wanted to wait until I found that place where we can be safe together and I could finally feel like I did something that actually helped you. I could feel accomplished and I could live up to being your boyfriend."
She looks at me and slaps me.
"Percy! You don't have to live up to anything! You already lived up to everything I can hope for. So don't ever think like that again I'll hurt you!" She said with a smirk.
I grabbed my check and smiled.
"Okay Chase you win."
I grab her around the wait and gently bring her down to the rocky shore with her back on the shore. I get real close and lean in for the kiss.
We kiss for a good while our tongues fighting for dominance. She eventually wins and as I pull away I say, "Will you ,Annabeth Chase, do me the honors of going out with me, Percy Jackson Son of Neptune."
"It will be my pleasure Seaweed Brains." She leans in and we share another passionate kiss.
She pulls out a little bag and says "Thanks for giving me the most wonderful day ever Percy."
I open the bag and find a pendant shaped in the form of a trident.
"Annabeth Thank you so much."
I look her straight in the eyes and say, "Want to go back to my place."
She laughs and say, "Yeah lets go Seaweed Brains its freezing out here."
