Annabeth's pov:
June 29th
Beep, beep, beep
Ahhhh there is nothing better, than to be woken up at 6.30 am, to go on a jog, in the middle of New York, when it is quiet and peaceful, I thought to myself, as a lunged my way out of my bed, come on get your self ready Annabeth. I quickly threw on some clean running clothes, and rushed out of the door. I soon found myself at Starbucks, I was going to order my coffee, when, this stupid person behind me, decides that they are going to order instead, I was ready to have a go at whoever this mysterious person was, until I noticed that the person, who yesterday, hired me as his assistant, was the mysterious person, he soon noticed me, and turned to face me, and said "Fancy seeing you here wise girl." Really again with that stupid smirk of his, I mean really, does he have to do that, why can't he frown, like the rest of the people in here. "Excuse me, but what did you just call me." I said with a furious face. "I called you wise girl, you know, because your really smart, and stuff." he said his smirk dropping a bit, but so you could still see, his emotions. "Well then, I get to call you seaweed brain, because you love apparently love your job, and because your cousin Thalia, told me when you were both six, you came out of the sea with a lump of kelp, on your head, therefore creating the nickname seaweed brain, oh and after I told her yesterday you were my boss, I got to know all about what you did when you were a kid." I said a little to confidently. "I completely understand now, your her best friend Annie, oh and yeah she told me some stuff about you to, like how when you were eight, you hid your step brothers, in the loft." he said with slight hesitation. "Do not get me on that subject, and in my defence, they were devils." We both laughed, at my choice of words.
Finally I got served at Starbucks, me and Percy took a seat, after he begged me not to leave because people will think he is a loner, or something. After only knowing him, a day, I feel like we may have a good friendship, because as it turns out Thalia has told me and Percy stuff about each other, from our past, which will probably make our work days seem amusing, I thought to myself, as we finished up our drinks. "I will see, you in about 2 and a half hours then, back at the office to discuss your work hours." he said once again with that smirk of his. "Yep I will see you then, I said as I jogged off in the opposite direction to him. on my way back I couldn't help think what working for Percy will be like, us to sharing an office, we would probably kill each other.
Percy's pov:
Well what an eventful morning, first I find out that my ex-girlfriend, Rachel, is flying back from San Francisco today, and insists on coming into my work, to 'see how I'm doing', which is Rachel talk for I want money. And Annabeth this morning, wow I didn't notice yesterday, what she looked like in her running clothes, but today I did and my only word is wow. Normally I would be forced to cancel, my meeting with Annabeth, because Rachel's coming, but why should I she has to learn how to work around my plans to. The only reason, I haven't cancelled Rachel to come, is because, well I'm scared of her dad, he knows we broke up 2 years ago, and thinks we are friends, plus he is a lawyer, so I would rather not be sued by him, for everything I've got, which let me tell you, is a lot. Anyway, back to Annabeth, she is not like any other girl I have met, I mean those eyes, her sterling grey eyes, I thought my sea green eyes were rare but hers, they must be one in a million to find, she is every mans dream, smart, kind funny, but I cant just get her like that, I need time, I will take is slowly, start to get to know her a little bit more, then if I still feel something for her and she feels the same, I might just ask her out, oh who am I kidding, I haven't even known her, for twenty four hours yet, to me she is only my acquaintance, well until 10 am of course.
10am finally comes around, and its safe to say, I did not actually think this would happen, Rachel and Annabeth are both here at the same time, I definitely know what Rachel will do, she will beg for me to come back to her and try to start a fight with Annabeth for stealing me or something, which is what happened with my old assistant, Rachel even threatened her, that receptionist was straight out of the door, I just hope Annabeth can see how much I despise Rachel and see that I actually want nothing to do with her.
"Hi Annabeth, Rachel." I say in quite a high pitched voiced, which Annabeth of course notices straight away is my worried voice, "Hey Percy who is this." Annabeth said in a soft tone. "Annabeth meet Rachel, Rachel meet Annabeth, Rachel, Annabeth is my new assistant, and Annabeth Rachel is my ex-girlfriend, she wont be a bother to this meeting." When saying that I made sure I emphasised on the word ex. Annabeth definitely got the hint, I just hope this meeting, wont contain of me scooping people off the floor.
There you go, I hope nobody got confused in this chapter, the next one will make more sense.
R&R thanks
