Annabeth's POV

Great. Just great. I was stuck upstairs with Percy friggin 'Sea God' Jackson. Cool down, Chase! I honestly don't know why I was so pissed off with him. I mean, I realised that the scene at the cafe was just a misunderstanding and I could tell Thals adored her cousin by the way she kept poking fun at him. So, why was I feeling so antagonistic towards him now?

Maybe it had something to do with those oh-so-gorgeous sea green eyes, the messy raven black locks, the super tall and lean physique... Or maybe I was just severely dehydrated. I made a mental note to go drink some water as soon as I could!

Feeling gritty after the day's journey, I decided to go unpack and then shower. I made my way upstairs only to find Percy's bags in the sitting area and the bathroom light on. Since he beat me to the shower, I settled down on the couch with some cookies and my current winter read.

I was so engrossed in the book that I almost fell off when I heard Percy call out. "Chase, can you please pass me the shampoo? It's in my black duffel bag." "Guess, Mr. Sea God does need my help after all," I said smirking. I picked up the shampoo, knocked on the bathroom door and when it opened, held my hand out... and almost dropped the shampoo. Oh My God.

Wait, it's not what you're thinking. Percy had his towel wrapped around him kilt-style and thank goodness for that. But my face turned a dark shade of red as I stared at that gorgeous well muscled chest, water droplets glistening and that sexily tousled hair. "Thanks, doll. I'll be out in a minute." Percy winked at me and shut the door.

I walked back to the couch and just sank into the cushions. Guess, I was a lot more tired than I'd realised. I woke up to someone tracing patterns on my skin and muttering, "Hey, Sleeping Beauty, wake up." My skin felt hot and I woke up immediately only to realise that Percy's face was just a few inches away from mine. I felt my gaze drawn to his soft kissable lips. He stared down at me with those bewitching eyes and leaned closer. I shut my eyes waiting for the inevitable.

All of a sudden, Leo yells "Oh my! It's getting hot in here!" and races downstairs screaming at the others to give us our "privacy". Oh hell. Percy ran a hand through his hair and looked genuinely confused. I just stood up and walked into the bathroom.

After a few seconds, I heard him walk downstairs. Phew.

Nico's POV

I was currently in the kitchen cooking spaghetti and meatballs with Miss Thalia Grace as my pretty lil assistant. I was really glad she couldn't read my thoughts because calling her my 'pretty lil assistant' would've definitely earned me a rebuke. As for my thoughts about what I'd like to do to her after hours... Uh, those would definitely earn me a slap. Right now though, I was more amused than turned on.

Thalia's meatballs looked like gigantic golf balls. And I struggled not to laugh. I gently took them from her and shaped them into a smaller, more practical size. She let out an exasperated sigh. "What's wrong?" I asked in concern. I thought we were having fun in the kitchen cooking tonight's meal. "I... I'm just so bad at cooking! And, I wanted to impress you," she mumbled softly. "Aw hon, you just need to get the hang of it and I'll give you cooking lessons. It'll be easy, trust me. As for impressing me, you already have." I looked down into her eyes and touched her face gently.

I probably would've kissed her if Leo hadn't come butting in at that very moment to check on the dinner. He just stared. "Not you too! Ugh!" he screamed and walked out.

I guess we weren't the only ones getting cozy. "Let's finish up," I said. "Yeah, sounds good," said Thals.

Jason's POV

I decided to kick back and relax. It was my winter break after all and school had been hectic because of Senior Year projects. I went in search of the others but everyone was off doing their own thing. Nico snatched Thals for kitchen duty.

Perce went upstairs to shower. Annabeth probably didn't know he was there and went upstairs too. This would surely result in fireworks! I honestly didn't get why they kept arguing but I guess it has something to do with their mutual attraction. Although neither of them would admit it.

Percy, no doubt, had the hots for Annabeth. She was a very pretty blonde with captivating silver gray eyes. Not my type though, I preferred messy haired brunettes with kaleidoscopic eyes who looked like they could be related to the love goddess, Aphrodite and were named Piper McLean.

I was pretty sure Annabeth would fall for Percy soon enough. Women just couldn't resist those blue-green eyes of his. Go figure. I got my fair share of course. We were cousins after all. I grinned to myself and in walked Piper probably wondering why I was grinning like a maniac.

I patted the seat next to me. "Hey Pipes, wanna watch TV? I'm watching old psych reruns." "Sure thing. I love Psych!" she exclaimed. We watched TV silently for the next five minutes. I kept cracking up at Shaun's idiotic behaviour and Piper did too. I couldn't help noticing how beautiful her smile was. Yeah, guess I can be super cheesy sometimes.

She caught me staring at her and asked, "Do I have something on my face?" "Uh no", I mumbled. "Are you checking me out?" she asked laughingly. "Uh Uh... I," I muttered stupidly. "That's fine 'cause I've been checking you out too!" she winked at me. "Well, do you like what you see?" I asked, all flirty.

Before she could reply, Leo walked in. And ruined the moment. I glared at him. "Why don't you go check on Perce? He's taking awfully long to shower. Annabeth might have murdered him," I added laughingly. He went upstairs and came down in a second, screaming something about giving them their privacy. Oh my. Guess, Perce really doesn't waste any time, does he?

I told Leo to check on dinner. Anything to get him out of the way! He goes into the kitchen. I turn to Piper. "Now where were we?" I asked teasingly. Leo came rushing out of the kitchen yelling, "Not you too! Uggh!" Great. Nico and Thals were supposed to be cooking dinner in there.

I was just about to tell Leo to join us and watch Psych when he stormed out the door. Wow. Guess he kinda felt like the odd one out. I made a mental note to have him hang out with us some more.
