Annabeth's pov:

Still 1st July

6pm

We were grated with a miserable looking Thalia at the front desk, waiting for us, I don't think she knew, that I was the person coming to look around, the penthouse, so I decided to surprise her, "Excuse me, I'm looking for a Miss Thalia Grace, I' am here for the house tour," She looked around, with a confused face, then said to us, "Annabeth, your here for the house tour," I just nodded then she huffed and said "Haha, looks like you know your neighbour, Percy would you lead the way, I can't be bothered," Once again classic Thalia.

We took the lift up to the Penthouse, I was not taking the stars to floor 13 out of 15, When Thalia opened then door to let us in, I had to take a breath, as soon as you walk in, you see a modern living area, with all the walls made out of glass, so you got probably one of the best views of the whole city, I still cant believe the price of this place, I then got shown the kitchen, which was also modern, everything looked brand new, then Thalia showed me what would be my bedroom, it was just an empty room, the previous people must of left the living room furniture for me, I'm not complaining my furniture was what I bought brand new nearly 5 years ago when I moved out of Malcolm's.

The bedroom had an en-suite which was the only bathroom in there, its actually smaller than I thought a penthouse would be, because Percy's penthouse is upstairs it must be a bit bigger, oh well this place is bigger than my flat now.

Thalia could tell I wanted it, she knew that whenever I wanted something, I had a twinkle in my eye, I then found myself saying 7 life changing words, " I'm in, when can I move in." It was ideal, Thalia one block over, not far from work, and as a bonus, Percy just upstairs, oh and like a two minute walk to the supermarket. " Congrats Annie on your new home, I will go call my dad, downstairs." I just nodded knowing what she was doing.

Percy soon spoke up after Thalia had left, " Yeah congratulations wise girl, looks like you will be seeing me more than usual, but don't worry, you will never get rid of me, the last people that lived here, I think left, because, every morning at 6 came down asking if they had any spare sugar, cause when I go to the shop, I just seem to forget about sugar." I had to laugh, and reply "Well every time I go to the shop I will make sure I buy you sugar, my alarm goes off at 6.30, so I expect not to be woken up before then, also is that why I saw you in the shop at like 7.00 this morning, because your neighbours had moved out, and you had no one else to go to for sugar."

"Wow wise girl your prediction, was actually right, I'm not surprised one bit, also why were you at the shop at 7.00 this morning, and I got distracted by the pick and mix, and had to buy some, hey did I even buy that sugar, I forgot," Once again I laughed, at hiss comment, "Well I was suppose to go on my morning jog, like I do every morning, but I didn't have any food in, so, I had to skip my jog to go buy food, otherwise I would be eating, spaghetti," " What's wrong with spaghetti for breakfast, oh well it looks like I may be popping to yours for breakfast, just another perk of being neighbours with me wise girl." I rolled my eyes at Percy, then went downstairs to Thalia.

"So I spoke to my dad, and he says, the soonest you can move in, is Wednesday, and you can move your things in anytime from tomorrow morning at 11, also he wanted me to tell you that, someone wants to move into your old place, so the latest your things have to be out is Friday, my dad doesn't mess around." Thalia said, yay no more donkeys outside the window, anymore.

Soon we went up to Percy's to celebrate, when I got a phone call from Jason, it was now 7pm, by the way. "Where are you I have rung you and Percy like a billion times, even at the office I made them ring you both, I have been waiting for an hour and an half, I'm bored." Oops we forgot about Jason, I quickly, put my hand over the phone, so Jason couldn't hear, and whispered "Percy we left Jason at the office," Percy then burst into laughter, then Thalia spoke " How about you to stay here and order some pizzas, while I go pick up my baby idiotic brother." Then she was gone, "Jason, Thalia will be there soon, wait outside for her, bye." He tried speaking after that, but I cut him off, and hung up the phone.

I knew what Thalia was doing, she was getting me and Percy alone, yeah well I'm not falling for her tricks.

Percy's pov:

We ordered the pizzas, then I being a gentleman let Annabeth pick a film to watch, she put it in, and it was how to train your dragon 2, wow, she's pretty, and has good taste in films, quite the package.

She plopped down next to me, and then I offered to get her a drink, and she replied, " Whoa seaweed, I thought you would never ask, coke if you have any would be good." I nodded, knowing I did have coke, and remembering Annabeth likes coke, wow, I sound like a stalker, I got us, our drinks, and sat down next to her, lets just say, a bit closer than she did, It soon becomes like an hour later, and Thalia and Jason and the Pizza man, still haven't arrived, the movie had nearly ended.

And it did ten minutes later, me and Annabeth had fallen asleep, I was the first one to wake up, I then by accident woke Annabeth up, she didn't look cross, she just looked ten times more beautiful, than she is normally.

I looked down into her eyes, and did something, I probably shouldn't have done, I leaned down so my lips where brushing hers, and the best part is, she didn't move away, she just kind of smiled.

I was about to kiss her when I heard a knock at the door, Annabeth jumped, but didn't loose contact with my eyes, neither of us went for the door, and I once again, was going to try kiss her, until we heard Thalia shouting at the Pizza man about, standing there not bothering to knock on the door, because Thalia wasn't there when he was actually knocking, the only words I could get out of that sentence was, I'm sorry, it wont happen again, and how about I give you your pizzas for free, its always Thalia to get something for free.

By the time Thalia opened the door, me and Annabeth had moved away from each other, all I can say now, is, I wish the pizza man, Thalia and Jason were locked up in a dungeon, with no way to get out. Life, its so mean.

Annabeth's pov:

All I can say now is, I wish there was more traffic, on the road, if they were all a minute later then this would not be so cliché, and I would of kissed Percy flipping Jackson.

Told you there would be twists, don't worry, there will be more, this was a really fun chapter to write I hope you enjoyed it!

R&R thanks
