Don't Look Down On Me

Last time on Don't Look Down On Me: "Come on," you tell her. "There's someone I want you to meet."

You offer your hand, and when she hesitantly places hers over it, you know that your life's about to change. And you smile.

Chapter 3: Her Lips

As you lead Annabeth out of the building that is your apartment, you can't help but smile at your neighbors. They are wary of you, you're the youngest one in the whole building and not exactly the most...trustworthy? You know by their almost dirty looks that they think you brought home the beautiful girl beside you and slept with her. You wish very badly that was the case.

You can tell she's nervous from the stares she gets as your neighbors get their mail and such. All of them are at least over the age of thirty and most are suspicous of you as it is. You don't even blame them. You've come home with girls before.

You finally weave your way out of the building and run straight into the very person you were looking for. "Thals!" you say.

"Percy!" she returns with fake enthusiasm.

"I was just on my way to your house, there's someone I want you to meet."

She finally takes notice of the girl beside you and her whole composture stiffens. "You," Thalia says dryly.

"You," Annabeth says.

"You two know each other?" you ask.

"This is correct," Annabeth nods. "You can't really forget someone who walks up to you and slaps you across the face because 'your hair's too blonde'."

"Well it can't be natural!" Thalia protests.

You turn to Thalia with wide eyes. "You slapped her because her hair's too blonde?"

"Tell me, Percy. Have you ever been on your period and the cramps are killing you and you are in an irritable mood?"

"No but-"

"But nothing. Feel free to shut up now." You shut your mouth and glare at her but she takes no further notice of you. "Annabeth Chase."

"Thalia Grace." Annabeth returns.

"I didn't think I'd ever see you again."

"Likewise."

Thalia turns back to me. "Now tell me, how did you have the misfortune of meeting Princess over here?"

You frown, you don't like Thalia's attitude. "Let's talk somewhere else."

"I was heading to my restraunt anyway." You nod and look at Annabeth. She's frowning and glaring at Thalia's feet, you sensed the tension radiating off of her. "Hey, are you okay?"

"I'm...just not feeling very good." she says.

"Can we do this tomorrow, Thals? I don't think she's doing very well."

"Whatever." she sneers, turning on her heel and walking away.

"Come on," you say gently.

Annabeth looks up at you and hesitantly pushes the hair out of your eyes. She licks her lips and kisses you gently on the cheek, then she turns around and walks back into the apartment. You follow her numbly and from a distance, you touch the place where her lips had been just a moment ago. You walk into your apartment, Annabeth had already opened the door.

You look inside but don't see the pretty blonde haired girl you seem to already be falling for. You close the door and something jumps at you from behind, you fall to the ground with a thump and groan as your arm is twisted behind you. You know who's on your back but you don't know the reason. Then you feel hot breath on your neck and feel the hairs stand on end.

"You won't tell anyone about that, anyone," a low voice orders.

"Okay, ouch. That kind of really hurts so if you will..."

She rolls off you and stands up, she looks behind her back and smirks at you. "Night," she says mockingly and walks into your room.

You look through the door and notice her lay down on your bed.

You are absolutely stunned.

You walk angrily toward your room and tower over your bed where she lays. Her eyes meet yours and you know that you aren't going to make her sleep on the couch. She knows too. You stare into her amazing gray eyes. Then she grabs your hand and pulls you into the bed with her. She rolls over so that her back is to you and she is all the way on the other side of the bed.

You sigh as you close your eyes, the last thing on your mind when you fall asleep is her lips. The ones that are perfect and pink, and how they feel as they swiftly brush your cheek.

Sorry for such a short chapter. I know they're ooc so nobody comment on that. Their relationship may be just a bit fast paced but that's how it is when you fall so hard for someone. Well tell me what you think, aka review. And feel free to give me some ideas. If I get 15 reviews, I might update tonight. If I get 10, I might update tomorrow. Just saying. Mel out.
