Percy

Since I'm somewhat officially dating Annabeth, I texted her last night to ask if she could meet me at the library. So now, I'm waiting for her outside the New York Public Library. Just when I thought that she's not coming, I saw her walking towards me wearing a black trench coat, jeans, black boots, and a Yankees cap. I couldn't help but smile at her, despite the butterflies in my stomach.

"So, are we here to study? Because that's what I told my mom," she said, her grey eyes shining in the dim light of the street lamps.

"Nope. We're going somewhere else tonight," I grinned as I saw her frown in disappointment.

"Not your place I hope," she warned.

"As much as my mom loved you, we're not going there," I assured, grabbing her hand and pulling her down the street.

"Percy, what are we doing at the Chrysler Building?" Annabeth asked as I stopped at the back door.

"Connor's dad works here," I pointed out, pulling out a key. "He lent me this key just in case I need it."

"We're not stealing anything, right?" she asked nervously. "And where does this door lead to anyway?"

I grinned at her as I opened the door. I held out my hand.

"You'll see."

She took it.

After climbing about a billion stairs, we reached the top. Before I opened the door, I looked at her.

"Hold on to your hat 'cause this might blow you away," I warned, grinning again.

"Just open the door, Seaweed Brain," she teased, returning the grim with a smile.

I opened it and we were greeted by a strong gust of wind. She held on to her cap and I stepped outside. She followed, one hand on her head, the other around my arm. I led her and she finally gained enough strength to look around.

"Oh, wow," she sighed.

The city of Manhattan shone before us. Lines of light which were really cars streamed several feet below. Buildings stretched all the way up to the sky and the surfaces reflected different colors of light. Bridges lit up overhead. Overall, the scene is just breathtaking.

"Now isn't this way better than studying?" I asked as she watched, mesmerized.

"It definitely is," she sighed.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past us. The force was so strong that it blew her cap off her head. I chased after it and caught it before it fell off the building. I heard her footsteps and I turned to give it back to her. That's when I noticed the gauze on the side of her head. Even with almost no light, I could see her blush a deep red.

"Theoí (Gods), Annabeth, what happened to you?"

Annabeth

I couldn't stop myself from blushing in embarrassment. My head started to throb as I remembered what happened last night.

"It's nothing," I tried to convince him, but he placed his hand on the gauze. I winced, but I didn't move away.

"What happened?" he asked softly. I sighed and I told him what happened.

"Why would she get mad at her own sons?" he asked.

"Well...they're not really her sons by blood," I admitted slowly.

"What do you mean?" he asked, confused.

I hesitated for a moment. I've never told anyone the truth, not even Katie. I wasn't sure that I should tell him this. Then again, he confessed about his dad, proving me that he isn't the cold, heartless gang leader everyone thinks he is.

"My mom was on one of her business trips that took her about a year. I was seven at that time. While she was gone, my dad met another woman. He ended up getting her pregnant and she gave birth to twin boys. She gave them to my dad and left New York. No one knows where she is now."

"When my mom came back home to sons that weren't hers, she and my dad had the biggest fight. That night, I couldn't stand to hear the screams, the yells. I grabbed a backpack, filled it with clothes and money and ran away. It took the police about two weeks for them to find me and bring me home. My parents decided to just keep the twins and act as if my mom was pregnant throughout her trip and gave birth during it."

"Ever since then, I put up the facade that my family is picture perfect. I put it up by being the top student of every class I was in so no one would bother to think that anything is wrong. That's why being perfect is so important to me."

I finished, waiting for him to respond. It took awhile until he broke the silence.

"Looks like we both have fucked up pasts," he said. I laughed at that.

"Pretty much," I agreed.

He looked at me with shining green eyes. We just stood there, looking at each other for a while.

"At least now I know you're not perfect. I hate perfect girls," he grinned, kissing me.

His lips were as warm and inviting as before. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pressing my body against his. His hands were entwined with my hair. He wrapped his arms around waist, keeping me close. He makes me feel protected, safe. Needed. Something I haven't felt in so long. Some logical part in my brain thought it'd be stupid to fall for him, but my heart kept telling my brain to shut up and keep kissing him.

After several minutes, we pulled away, panting heavily. Wind pulled strands of my hair away from my face and soon, I felt his warm, rough hand gently cup my cheek. All I wanted to do was stay here with him.

"Do you love me, Wise Girl?" he asked softly. I licked my lips nervously. Do I?

"Maybe, Seaweed Brain" I answered slowly. "Do you love me?"

"Maybe," he answered, smiling shyly. "Just maybe."

He kissed me again and I let my mind run loose. Even if I wasn't sure if I love him or not, I know that I was definitely attracted by him.

so yea reviews make my day :)
