Well would you look at that? Chapter 5 everybody! Yeehaaww! ;D

DISCLAIMER: I know I know. I don't own Percy Jackson, but sometimes, I wish I do.

CHAPTER 5

ANNABETH's POV

So, it was decided. I was going to spend my two days here on Percy's apartment. Oh joy! Don't get me wrong, okay, it's just I really don't like the idea of me having to spend even just a night at a guy's house that I've just been recently friends with. I mean sure, I've slept on a guy's house before but those guys are really close to me and I've known them for ages, but now…

"UGH!"

"What's wrong?" Percy looked at me, worriedly. I was going to sleep on his room while he'll sleep on the couch on the living room.

"Nothing, I just forgot to call my dad." I lied, well not entirely. I do need to call him.

"Sure. I'll just go outside. You want anything? A glass of water? Milk?"

"Water would be nice, thank you."

He smiled and went out of his room.

I dialled my dad's number on my cell and rings.

"Hello? Annabeth?"

"Hey dad. How's it going?"

"Good. I'll be going to San Francisco tomorrow to get the boys to the dentist then in the afternoon we'll be on our way back there. Any problem?"

"Well, yeah. You see dad I got locked out."

"What? From our apartment? How's that?" I can sense from his tone of voice that he's getting worried.

"I forgot to get the spare key from the table. And when I got home from school, that's the only time I remembered it."

"Where are you right now?"

I was very hesitant to say where but I have to or else, we might get at the wrong track… again.

"Well, I'm at a friend's house. They told me that I could stay here until you guys get back."

"Where's your friend's house? And who is this friend of yours?"

I felt my voice being held back a little. Ugh!

"It's just across our apartment and uhm…"

"Uhm?"

"His name's Percy. He's one of my new friends at school." I said as quickly as possible but even that didn't escape dad's 'supersonic hearing' as he says.

"You're staying at a boy's house?" My dad's voice grew frantically. Not a good sign.

"Don't worry! His parents are here and they told me that I can stay until you guys get back."

"And where will you be sleeping?"

I bit my lip, "In his room bu-"

"What? Annabeth! Why are you sleeping in his room? Why did his parents let a boy and a girl-"

"Dad!"

"I mean you guys are too young! How can they possibly allow two teenage-"

"DAD!"

"What?"

"Don't think like that! I'm sleeping in his room while Percy sleeps on the couch of their living room. Sheesh!"

My dad went silent for a while, and then it sunk into him.

"Oh! Well, that's good."

We were both in silence; a very awkward silence.

"So I guess I'll see you when we get home then. You still have some money on you?"

"Yeah. I'll see you soon."

Before I hang up my dad said something,

"I want to meet that Percy boy when we get back, okay?"

"Uh, sure."

"Okay. Bye sweetheart."

"Bye dad."

We hang up and just like on cue, the door opened and Percy came in with the glass of water in his hands.

"Here you go," he handed me the glass and I took it.

"Thanks."

He smiled, "If you need anything, I'll be outside. Just call me."

"Yeah okay."

He walked to the door and when he was about to close it, I called him.

"Hey Percy,"

He turned around, "yeah?"

"Thank you." I gave him my sweetest smile.

He smiled back and closed the door.

I fell on to the bed and closed my eyes and drifted into a dreamless sleep.

PERCY's POV

I didn't have a great time sleeping last night. I wasn't that comfortable sleeping on the couch but I can't tell Annabeth to switch places with me, that'll be just rude and ungentle man like.

I woke up around 5:30 in the morning and headed to the kitchen to get something to eat. I opened up the fridge and saw left over pizza from last night. I heated it up on the oven and I sat at the counter and ate it in silence.

I was reminiscing what happened last night. How Annabeth gave me the sweetest smile I've ever seen my whole life. And her eyes, it twinkled as she smiled at me. Even if her eyes are a bit intimidating, it's still mesmerizingly beautiful. I don't know how long I was dazing out but not a few moments later, my mom went out of their room and was started by me.

"Oh my goodness, Percy! You scared me." My mom held her chest like her heart was about to come out.

"Sorry. I got hungry."

"Well, it's very unusual of you to wake up this early. What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing. I just had a rough time sleeping on the couch. Which reminds me, we should really get a new one? It hurts on the back you know."

I sheepishly smiled at my mom, She just shook her head.

"Okay, I'll tell Paul about that. Want to help make breakfast?"

"Sure! Blue pancakes?"

"Of course, sweetie."

After we were done making breakfast, Paul went out of their room.

"Wow! Smells good! Blue pancakes? I reckon Percy suggested this?" He grinned at me.

"Why of course, Honey! You know Percy and I have a tradition with blue foods in the morning?"

"How can I forget." He smiled and went down to take his place.

"Percy, can you go get Annabeth."

"Uh, sure."

I walked into my room and found Annabeth still sleeping on the bed.

I got closer, sat on the bed and shook her gently to wake up.

"Annabeth?"

No response. I shook her again.

"Annabeth, wake up. Breakfast is ready."

She moved a little but ignored me."

"Annabeth." This time a shook a little harder.

"Mmmm!"

"Wake up, breakfast is ready."

She sat up quickly and turned to face me. I was frozen to my spot. I didn't dare to move. We were close… no really close, like 2-inches-away-from-each-other's-face close!

She still looked sleepy; she slowly opened up her eyes. She looked at me lazily, probably didn't notice how close we were but after a few seconds she regained her consciousness and pushed me off the bed.

I landed on my side and boy I tell ya, it hurts!

"Ow!" I rubbed my right arm.

"What do you think you're doing?"

She said frantically.

"I was trying to wake you up. Duh! Then you suddenly sat up and faced me." still rubbing my arm. Man! She has steel like hands!

"Oh." She slowly got off the bed and helped me up.

"I'm sorry about pushing you off the bed."

"It's okay." We were both standing now. She looked sincere about the apology.

I gave her a reassuring smile.

"Come on, let's eat breakfast." I led her to the dining table.

"It's blue pancakes today!"

She held back a giggle and smiled then followed me to the dining table.
