Hi first of all thanks for all of the support on my first one shot The meaning, quite a lot of people requested more of one shots like it so, in the near future I will be posting more one shots, also these next few chapters will have a lot of twists so get ready, chapter 7.
Annabeth's pov:
1st July, Monday,
8.30
I got in my car and quickly drove to the bank, now I actually have no idea how much is in this fund, I owe Zeus 900 pounds so lets hope there is enough.
Is someone having a laugh, 9,000 pounds, this cant be right no, just to check, I asked the bank staff person, she checked and said my balance in that fund is 9,000, if I take 1,000 out then I will be left, with 8,000, which would be enough to get me started in a new flat, where there wont be any donkeys, outside my window, at 6.30 in the morning, when people are trying to sleep. Anyway, I rushed out and set of in my car to go to the first day of my new job, with oh no Percy, I really hope he doesn't remember that incident this morning, could this day get much worse...
Yes.
And it did, I got to work at 9.23 to find Jason pulling up in his car in front of mine, I get out, so does he, " Hey Princess," I then replied back to him, " Hey Sparky, you here to support me on my first day, or are you here to cause trouble." We both laughed at my lame comment, then walked in. We both went to reception, they sent me up to Percy's office, well the office that we know share, they sent Jason to the staff room, to get us coffee, then he could come up to the office.
I knocked on the door, I heard Percy's voice, I suddenly felt stupid butterflies in my stomach, uggh I wish my girl side would go away. I waited or him to open the door, when I noticed on the door, Percy Jackson CEO, Annabeth Chase head assistant for Percy Jackson. Before I could think any more about it, Percy opened the door, " Hi," he said, really that's all he could say to me, well actually, I wasn't any better, I said " Hi," As well, I don't even think it was clear, more like a whisper, or something. " About this morning, I hope I didn't make you feel uncomfortable, but what I said was 100% true, and I' am going to ask a very serious question, Annabeth I don't know your middle name Chase will you do me the honour and," I had to stop him, " Whoa, your not proposing marriage to me are you, because right I really don't think you should ask me that." I said, with my heart beating over a million miles per hour, and if you didn't notice already, I shouldn't of said right now I really don't think you should ask me that. What if he gets the impression that I liked him or something, which I totally don't right, I' am not falling for my boss. " No I wasn't asking you that, you just ruined the moment, anyway I was going to say, would you do me the honour of being my best friend."
Well that was my next guess to what he was going to say, it took me a while to figure out what I was saying, but in the end I decided not to say anything, instead, I smirked at him, and once again he smirked back with his signature smirk, and walked closer to me and pulled me in for a hug, and it was such a good hug, that I never wanted to part away from, and by the feels of it neither did he, and we didn't, until Jason, totally cliché by the way walked in, dropped the coffees, and ran out, well he obviously got the wrong idea didn't he. We pulled away, I instantly missed the warmth of him," I think he got the idea we were kissing, because from his angle, it would of looked like that oops." oops, that was all he could say, he sounded smart there for a second, until he added oops onto the end of it, he really is a seaweed brain, isn't he.
Percy's pov:
Jason I was enjoying that hug, why do you have to ruin everything, like when I turned 8 you ruined my birthday cake,... Now I can see how the circumstances are a lot different, but you can relate from that right, no probably not, oh well, I do worry about myself sometimes.
As soon as I saw Annabeth run after Jason, I had to run after them as well, I have a feeling I know where Jason will be, now I know that this might sound crazy, but I think Jason is on the roof, he always gets as close to the sky as he possibly can, when he is stressed, or confused, or what ever reason, he ran out for, and dropped coffee on my office floor, hopefully someone cleans that up whilst were looking for Jason.
" Hey, Annabeth, I think I know where Jason is, follow me." she obeyed and followed me up a ladder, when I got to the top, I gave Annabeth a hand up, even though she didn't need me to, it was only an excuse for me to hold her hand, anyway, as soon as we get up to the roof, I hear Annabeth gasp, I knew she would like it up here, so many different buildings the Architecture, she loves it, another great thing about Annabeth is that she actually, has her mind straight ahead, she always plans what she's going to do, before she actually does it, like she knows, she wants to become a famous Architect, oh that reminds me tomorrow, we have an architect from some company, coming over for a meeting, I will have to let Annabeth in on that meeting, to take notes. Whereas I, well my future was always here working for my dad, I love what I do, so why should I stop. " You know Annabeth, your the first of my assistants, that haven't tried to hit on me, well yet anyway, no one can resist me," I said cockily, I sat down, and tapped next to me for Annabeth to sit down, she did, I quickly looked at my watch 10.02 half an hour into Annabeth's first day, and we haven't even done any work, oh well, we will just catch up with it later, " Percy, you know we have known each other for only a matter of days, I definitely agree that we are best friends." I then pulled her into a side hug, and replied back " How about after work we go out for lunch, it will be our first official outing as best friends." she nodded, but by her expression I could tell something was wrong, so I nudged her, she looked up, and at the point I realised I still had my arm around her, but I didn't move it, instead, I moved it more around her to tell her that I was there for her, with whatever was wrong with her. Instead of taking she took a note out of her pocket, it was from uncle Zeus, I reread it again and again, " Annabeth I'm so sorry, I don't really know what to say," " No, its fine, you see the problem is, when I left California my dad made me a fund, I never touched it, but today I didn't have a choice...
So I went to the bank to see how much he had put in there, I imagined, maybe a couple of hundred, but my balance was 9,000, well 8 now because I had to pay my rent, but I don't want anything from him, he has a new family, a family I' m not in, he seems happy, so why spoil it for him, I really don't know what to do Percy, I was thinking, I could put a deposit down for a new flat nearer to Thalia and work, but should I really use his pity money?" " Oh Annabeth, you know, that money is just sat there, you might as well use it, its all in your name, its not like its going anyway, I would use it on a new flat, get your future sorted, don't bother about your dad, if you want nothing to do with him, then neither do I." I cuddled her closer, and I heard a whisper " Thanks Percy," Then Annabeth cuddled her head more in my chest, as I put my head, on top of hers, " Wow, that was the most heartfelt conversation I have heard in a long time, I cant believe you fell for it," I heard as I saw a camera flash, me and Annabeth untangled ourselves, from each other, and ran after Jason.
So this was all planned the coffee dropping, the chase onto the roof, all that to get a picture, gees Jason your pranks have gotten worse since we were kids.
We caught Jason, and finally got to work, well most of my day was helping Annabeth learn the ropes, and to be honest she did better than me, on my first day, anyway time to go out for a lunch break, with Annabeth, could this day get any better?
Yes.
So that was chapter 7 I hope you all like it, I don't think its my best, but I wanted to get it up tonight, anyway,
R&R thanks
