Chp 2
Percys POV
I walked out the house and was walking towards the porch steps when my grand dad and parents stopped me. "So were meeting your friend today?" My grand father, My dad's dad, asked while he smiled at me.
I looked at the three as they drank their coffee and tea on the outside couch. "Yeah, but she's just my friend." I said. Paul smirked. "Who you have told us so much about." He said. They all laughed at my slightly red face.
"And you said she is nice, not in live with your wealth?" My mother asked, still afraid my friend only liked me for my money. I smiled at her. "She's extremely level headed, trust me. You'll love her." I said, then waved and went to my car to pick her up.
I drove to Montauk, and picked her up outside the shop she worked at. We had decided a week after I arrived, she would meet my parents and grandfather and stay on the ranch with us for the two month vacation.
She was wearing a pretty lace summer dress, with black pumps and her hair in a bun. I put her bag of clothes in my boot and opened her door for her. She looked nervous, so I chuckled. "Don't worry, they'll love you." I reassured her. She took a deep breath and nodded.
When we got to the ranch, I stopped the car and helped her out. I decided to go get her bags after I had shown her around. As we walked to the big farm house, she smiled. "Oh wow." She said, and studied the house.
"You know, I have to start a new project and they said it has to be country base house. And this, is just amazing." She said. I had noticed my parents and grandfather ride up on their horses, dismount them and were watching us from behind. "Thank you, it's our family house." My grandfather said.
She turned and smiled at them. "Mom, Paul, Grand dad, I want you to meet my friend Annabeth. Annabeth, meet my mom Sally, my step dad Paul and my grandfather Marcus." They all shook her hand.
"Oh, please come in. Would you like some tea or coffee?" My mom offered. "Coffee please." She said, smiling at my mom. My mom went to go make everyone tea and coffee, and Annabeth offered her help. So they went off inside and I sat on the porch with Paul and my grand dad.
"She's real pretty." Mark said, smiling at me. "I'm surprised you aren't dating her." Paul said, smirking, I rolled my eyes and sat back on the two seater couch. "As I said, she's just my friend."
Mom and Ann came back with the tea and coffee and biscuits. Annabeth sat next to me and handed me my coffee. When everyone had their drink, mom asked, "So when did you two meet?"
I looked at Annabeth. "Three years ago." I said. "How?" Mark asked. "Percy had come down for his second varsity vacation, and I worked in a shop in Montauk. He would always come passed and say hello." She said, changing how we met properly a bit.
"And what are you studying?" Paul asked, interested teacher side coming out, "Architecture. At NYU." She said, smiling. They all talked for a while, asked her about her family and what not.
"Well I am going to show Annabeth around the ranch a bit, and we'll be back for tea." I said, standing up. I offered her my hand and helped her up. "See you later." Mom called, winking at me.
I walked around with Annabeth, showing her the barn and the stables. I showed her to my favorite tree, where I had had my tree house when I was young. We were out of view from any of the workers on the farm and my family.
She stood, her back against the tree, and I stood in front of her, my one arm at the side of her head, holding me up. "Not so bad, is it?" I joked. She laughed and smiled at me. She cupped my cheek, and kissed me very lightly. She pulled away but I moved forward.
"Only friends." She teased, her finger on my lips. I groaned. "Annabeth!" I moaned, into her neck. "Not my problem." She said. I kissed her collarbone, and sent little kisses up her neck. "There's no one around." I said.
She laughed. I continued to kiss her jawline, and she tried to protest by saying, "Someone could see us." I pulled away, and looked her in the eye. "So you dont want to kiss me?" I asked.
"Of course I do, but not with people around that think we're just friends." She said. I sighed and moved away from her. "Right, just friends." I said, looking towards the farm house. She came up behind me and kissed my shoulder.
We made our way to my car to get her things. I lay on my back on the couch as I tried to think out places we could be alone together. "Hey sport." Paul said, sitting in the chair next to me on the porch.
"So you two kiss or something?" He asked, I looked at him, with a raised eyebrow. "Just friends." I reminded him. "You say that, but the way you look at her is saying another thing." He said, shrugging.
"Well I like her, but as a friend." I said. He sighed and shrugged. "Fine." He said. We all had dinner in the house, and went to bed early. Ann's bedroom was next to mine, so I tried to think how this could work.
