Stage 4-PART2-Theme Park(Thursday)
Annabeth POV
Yeah, apparently Piper and Thalia had shown a couple pictures from the previous photo shoots to Piper's Dad's marketing team. I'm pretty sure that there are a couple million laws against that but Tristan McLean entire fleet of lawyers would crush me, if I was right or not.
The money that the marketing team had given Thalia and Piper would explain the com units and the freaking renting of the theme park. It would also explain Thalia's new boots.
Oh and it would also explain the all the brand new remote controlled camera wire to the top of the Ferris wheel cart. I stare up at and curse Thalia for finding a way to put a camera on a Ferris wheel. I was going to pound Thalia for this afterwards; I could just imagine chasing after her with a mallet.
In real life, Thalia stood several feet away from the Ferris feet manning a small remote that controlled the camera trained down on me and Percy in the Ferris wheel cart. Piper was standing on a park bench, paying no attention to the park employees that glared at her. She waved wildly and sent Percy and I double thumbs up. I scoffed and slumped farther in my seat. I did not want to be here. And neither did the dude operating the Ferris wheel, he drooped over the machinery pressing his forehead against the massive red on and off switch.
I wasn't sure whether I should be scared that I was on this creaky, rusting thing or excited that it Percy was sitting next to me. Scared, definitely scared.
Percy lounged next to me quietly, his hands stuffed in his pockets and his head phones blasting music. His eyes were shut and his head rested on the back of the cart, I examined him cautiously. When Percy smiled, his entire face brightened; creating a smile that was so infectious that you had to smile back. Or blush for that matter. Now Percy wasn't smiling, but he wasn't frowning either. This was softer and calmer, still crazy hot though. Annoying.
I watch as one corner of Percy's mouth tips up.
"Why are you staring at me, baby?" he asks without opening his eyes. I focus back on the scene in front of me as my cheeks warm. Percy can't see me blush but for some reason I can tell that he knows. I scoot forward and curl my hands around the rail that keeps Percy and I strapped in the cart. I shake my head.
"I wasn't staring at you," I mutter looking back at him. Percy laughs softly. He opens his eyes and pulls a ear bud out.
"Uhm, yes you were," He says resting his forearms on the railing next to my hands. A sudden hard breeze rocks the cart gently cutting me off before I can say anything.
"It's getting kind of windy," Percy says dropping the topic and glances up at the sky, "is it safe enough to be doing this, especially on this piece of crap?" I sigh at his question.
"Thalia won't cancel the shoot unless a freaking tornado appears," I answer and drag and hand though my messed up hair. I feel his hand slip into a lock of my hair and hold it up. He examines it carefully, running his thumb through it.
"What are you-?"
"Your hair is pretty," Percy says, cutting me off, "you should wear it like this more. I like it." He looks up at me, his eyes smoldering.
I swallow.
Percy grins, "I like it wild, just like your hair." He says effectively ruining the moment. I hiss and snatch my hair away from him. I inch away from him pull all my hair to the other side of my hair. I can see the amusement in his eyes when I pull my hood up.
He opens his mouth to say something but is cut off as Thalia's voice sounds in my ear.
"Geez, guys, say the PDA for the shoot," she says in a disgusted voice. I glare at her from my seat and I can hear her laugh. Percy slides his com in and settles against his side of the cart.
"Hey, Thalia, are you sure this is safe? I mean it's getting pretty windy-" Percy yells across the gap at her. Apparently when Thalia was buying the coms it never came to mind that it would probably be a good idea to buy microphones. She probably used the money to buy her new boots.
"Please, bitch, it's going to take a freaking cyclone to stop me," Thalia announces. I snort.
"Told you," I nudge his foot, "we are going to die today," I mutter. Percy laughs but Thalia motions the guy to start the Ferris wheel. He groans then slams his palm onto the start button. The Ferris wheel creaks loudly and Percy winces.
"Thalia!" He yells, "This isn't a very good idea!"
"It will be fine," Thalia's voice tells us and she gives us a dismissive wave, "now coupleify." She commands. Percy bites his lip then scoots closer to me. I slide my arm through his and grip his biceps gently. The warmth that rolls off his body, seeps into mine and ripples of heat travel through my body. We stare out the cart as the Ferris wheel drags the cart to the highest point on the ride.
"So you've been working out huh?" I blurt randomly. I press my burning cheeks into my scarf to avoid showing them to Percy. He laughs.
"Yes," Percy says and I can practically feel his smirk, "thanks for noticing."
"…but," he says in a much lower voice. He nuzzles his nose in my hair and tugs the bottom of my hoodie, "my arms aren't the only hard thing I have."
I jerk away and Percy laughs loudly. I drive elbow him in the ribs, hard.
"What the hell!" I yell and he doubles over and rubs his stomach.
"What! Geez I was going to talk about my abs you naughty, naughty girl!" Percy says I was going to punch him in the eye. With a chainsaw.
I open my mouth to yell at him but before I can say anything savage gust blows across the theme park and the Ferris wheel. The entire thing creaks and I instinctively grab Percy's arm. Percy grabs the railing in front of us to keep from moving too much and at the worst possible moment the Ferris wheel shudders to a stop. At the bloody top of the damn thing.
"Sh-shit," I mutter, ignoring the feel of Percy's arm stare up at him, "This has got to be a joke."
The cold air begins to leak into my coat and I shiver.
"Th-Thalia!" I yell looking down at the ground where she stands watching the Ferris wheel with wide eyes, "This better not be a joke!"
"ARE YOU GUYS OKAY?" Thalia asks from the ground, "the wind blew a plastic bag into the motor, the entire Ferris wheels gears got jammed up."
"Yeah," Percy yells from beside me as another hard wind rocks the cart roughly. I grit my teeth to keep from grabbing his arm again and instead shove my shaking hands into my pockets, "and when are the bastards going to fix this thing?"
"They say maybe twenty minutes," I can hear Piper's voice.
"Th-three hours?" I ask incredulously, "but it's cold up in this bitch." I shiver again and Percy wraps my scarf tighter. He pulls away, not before brushing his fingers along my jaw line though. I shiver again, but this time it's not because of the cold.
"Sorry guys," Thalia says. Silence.
A sudden and wild current of air blasts and literally knocks the new camera off the Ferris wheel. Percy shoots out a hand to catch it, but instead rocks the cart violently.
"! %ADF$S^D," Thalia screams loudly, "That did not just- God I could kill- !(#$& S#W (%, this is such-I hate wind- #$&^XC %$F #!"
Well, now I know like a million new swear words.
Percy chuckles, "Babe, are you going to let go of my arm now?" I look down and realize that my fingers are still wrapped around his bicep.
I snatch my hand away and stuff my fingers back into my pocket. I start shivering and My teeth begin chattering nonstop.
"It's freaking freezing," I mutter and try blowing warm air onto my fingers but the wind blows all the warm air away.
"Are you cold?" Percy asks after a few seconds.
"No," I say sarcastically. I turn to look at him, "I'm just pretending to freeze my ass off. OfcouseI'mcoldyoudumbass! How are you not freezing?" Oh, that would have to do with the heat that practically radiates off of him.
"Come here," Percy says pulling me closer to him until I'm practically on his lap, I'd complain but he's just so freaking warm and I feel like a friggin icicle. He scoots closer to the corner of the car, shifting the center of gravity.
"Wait, don't move. You might unbalance the cart; if I go splat on the pavement I'm going to haunt your ass." I say struggling in his arms. Percy doesn't say anything in argument and just rests his chin on my shoulder.
"Do you have any siblings?" He asks suddenly. I raise an eyebrow at him but answer him honestly.
"I don't have any direct siblings but when my dad remarried I got a younger step-sister."
"Remarried?" Percy asks, his warm breath (on purpose or not) fan over my neck.
"Yeah, Mom and Dad me and they were happy for awhile but then they hired a babysitter and, well she had a thing for older men." I state blandly. Percy's arms tighten around me, "God, she's such a bitch. But Carrie, my step-sister, is so adorable and-what are you doing?" I suddenly cut off, feeling his mouth on my neck.
"I'm bored," he explains and I feel his teeth trace a light line under my jaw line. I shiver but shrug him off.
"Well then entertain you some other way," I say but I can still feel his mouth on my neck.
"I have a step-sibling too," Percy says burying his face into my scarf, "His name is Tyson. He's pretty badass, he can only see out of one eye and the ladies seem to find the eye patch hot." I snort.
"He sounds just like you," I say. Percy laughs lowly.
"Nah, I'm a lot better than him. In a lot of way," his voice lowers to a drawl.
I yank away but the entire cart rocks again.
"Shiiit," I hiss then settle back into Percy's laugh, "would you stop doing that!" I snap annoyed and pull my tangle of hair of my neck. I can hear Percy swallow.
"What?" I turn to him but he's staring at the curve of my neck, "what are you doing?" I ask. Percy looks up at me his gaze serious. He raises a hand to finger the skin under my jaw line. His finger draws invisible, feathery lines down my neck. The patterns burn on my skin pleasantly but I flick his fingers away half-heartedly.
"What are you-?" I begin but Percy cuts me off.
"Maybe," Percy purrs (A/N: lol, he PURRS. Gives me shivers) his eyes dipping from my eyes to my mouth, "it was a good thing that the Ferris wheel stopped, huh?" He swoops closer until we're inches apart.
"Percy-" I try. But just Percy inches closer while my heart threatens to jump out of my chest.
I stare at him. He stares back at me. I blink.
"You're crowding me," I say finally and try to pull away. The second my but hits the seat another strong gust of wind sends the entire damn thing creaking and I literally jump back into his lap.
"Shut up," I mutter as he laughs into my hair, "just shut up." Suddenly the Ferris wheel starts moving.
"Thalia damnit, this better be on purpose!" Percy calls as I grip his arm.
"He managed to untangle all the machinery! You're not going to die today!" Piper yells. Realizing that I was still in Percy's lap, I slid of him and arranged myself next to him casually.
Percy laughed low in his throat then snaked one arm around my waist. I squirmed, but didn't move. Percy's grin widened.
When the cart finally hit the ground, I was up and out of my seat in seconds. I flew into Piper's arms before she could see Percy's around my waist.
"God, are you okay!" Piper asks hugging me back tightly.
"Yeah," I said.
"Nothing bad happened up there?" she asks glance between me and Percy. He grins at me secretively.
"Nothing," I say staring back at him.
