Percy was only trying to go for a walk. His mom had called him earlier asking him if he'd take her mastiff, Mrs. O'Leary, to central park. Percy never planned on the dog going haywire and springing herself on the same girl he had a date with just a week earlier. Percy never planned for his dog to plow her to the ground. It seemed Percy never planned a lot of things when it came to Annabeth.
But here he was and her she was. And here the gods forsaken dog was, sprawled across Annabeth's petite frame, lapping at her face happily with a pink tongue. Annabeth's blonde curls splayed out across the grass, tangling wildly in between each green and dewy blade.
"Well, hello there." She said, pushing the dog off her and standing to her feet. She started to brush the light stains of dirt off her jeans and cardigan. Her hair was wreck and in desperate need of a brushing. She did her best to smooth the knots down, but her attempts were hopeless.
Mrs. O'Leary sat on the grass besides Percy, wagging her tail furiously. She looked at Annabeth expectantly with a huge, doggy grin wider than Texas, panting as though she just sprinted a mile.
Annabeth looked up from fixing herself and was slightly startled to see a familiar set of sea green eyes. The morning's sunlight glinted off of Percy's raven hair, shadowing him in a favorable manor.
"And I thought I wasn't going to see you until Friday at the movies." Annabeth grinned at Percy, pleasantly surprised to see the handsome beau.
Percy smiled sheepishly at her, rubbing the back of his neck with one of his tanned, calloused hands.
"Yea, I'm sorry about that. She must've caught your scent or something and just went crazy. I wasn't really able to get control of her when she tackled you." Percy could feel heat rising to his cheeks. Of course his dog just had to attack the pretty girl that he may or may not really, really like.
"That's okay. I didn't know you had a dog." Annabeth said, petting Mrs. O'Leary right behind the ear. Mrs. O'Leary pumped her leg in joyful contentment, starting to lie on the ground and show the blonde her belly.
"Oh, she's actually my mom's dog. I just had to take her for a walk." Percy explained, bending down to rub the dog's belly. Mrs. O'Leary was getting too much attention for her own good.
"She sure is a cutie." Annabeth beamed at the dog.
Not as cute as you, Percy thought, then mentally scolded himself.
A silence lapsed between them.
"We'll I've gotta go. Piper is waiting for me." Annabeth said awkwardly, brushing a lock of hair behind her ear.
"I'll see ya." Percy gave a small wave as she walked off at sent her own wave his way.
He watched her blonde curls bounce away, sighing contently. He felt a click with Annabeth. He really did.
Ok hi! Sorry this is so short! I've been so bad with updates and writing. Well here's something at least, right? Hope you all had good holidays!
