Percy's pov:
My eyes slowly open after probably the best sleep I've had in years, the sunlight not blinding me for once because of the day curtains covering my ceiling to floor windows. I feel a weight on my chest and look down to see soft caramel hair spread over it. The events of last night come rushing back to me as I gently push aside some hair obscuring the view of her beautiful face. Her eyes are shut close causing her long dark lashes to brush her cheeks. A small, almost unnoticeable smile adorns her face, as breaths softly. The soft light coming in through the window hits her milky face, giving it an angelic glow. Oh, how my eyes have yearned to wake up to this view every morning.
Her eyes flutter open as I gently caress her cheek and trace her lips. She moves slightly and looks up to meet my eyes with her sleepy ones. She gently rubs them as I smile down at her and say "Morning, beautiful." My voice comes out as a low whisper, not wanting to ruin this calm and peaceful moment.
She sighs, smiling softly up at me and moves her hand to my jaw, her thumb gently rubbing my cheek. "Morning" she says sleepily in a whisper. Her gaze moves to the table clock and her eyes slightly widen at the time.
"Its 10:40 am Perseus" she says slightly surprised. I'm a bit surprised too because I've never slept in this late. "How long have you been awake for?" she asks placing her chin on my chest.
"About 20 minutes" I say tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
Her brows furrow in confusion before she seems to realize something. "You were staring at me sleeping again?" she asks smiling, raising a perfect eyebrow. I used to do that a lot earlier so she easily guessed what I was doing for 20 minutes and why I didn't wake her up earlier.
"I could stare at you all day, remember?" I remind her while playing with her hair, referring to the last time I said that- which was 2 years ago.
"Yeah, you said that the first morning we woke up together, just like this." She says remembering that moment.
I sigh and lean forward but she places her fingers on my lips, stopping me from kissing her.
"I'm not going to kiss you until you brush your teeth Jackson" she says in a serious tone, her eyes filled with mirth and amusement.
I groan knowing she's right and bury my face in her neck, kissing her soft skin. She sighs and laughs softly, moving her fingers through my hair.
I lift my head up and murmur "I'll be right back" before untangling myself from her arms and going towards the bathroom.
The bath helps me think about how things are going to change now. Thalia and Jason will be quite angry that I didn't tell my cousins about the girl I love. Piper will probably understand and be happy for me. And Annabeth? Gods, she's going to be so pissed at me. I've hidden so many things from my best friend when she has done nothing but share all her sorrows and secrets with me, confided in me. I didn't tell her about the most important thing in my life and its going to hurt her. All of them in fact. I should've told them about Calypso. I sigh and close my eyes, the cold water calming me down. I have to tell them today. I owe them an explanation. I'm surprised actually that they haven't questioned me about it yet. The thick tension between us was quite obvious since the moment I saw her.
I've been in here under the shower for quite long now so I quickly wrap a towel around my waist and go outside. She is standing with her back facing towards me, looking out the huge glass window. Seems like she took a shower too as she's now wearing a sleeveless cream dress which reaches up to her mid thigh showing off her creamy legs and slender arms. Her hair is braided over a shoulder and soft, contended smile plays on her lips.
I go towards her and wrap my arms around her slim waist from behind, nuzzling my nose in her neck, breathing her scent. She seems startled for a moment before lightly swatting my arms and saying "you're all wet Perseus." She turns around in my arms and kisses me, her soft lips pressing against mine as she puts her hands on my chest. She pulls back before I deepen the kiss and says "go get dressed. We should have been down a long time ago." I pout at the short kiss she gave me but get dressed nonetheless.
I see her staring wide eyed at me as I pull up my boxers and open the towel to wear my jeans, so I grin mischievously at her and say "it's nothing you've never seen before Cal." She blushes a furious red as I laugh. She scowls at me when she notices my wide grin. It's really tough getting her to blush- which only I can make happen. I quickly shut up though. An angry Calypso is never good. Trust me, I know. I quickly put on a plain white shirt and take her hand in mine, intertwining our fingers.
We go downstairs, to see dad sitting on the living room couch, working on his laptop. Why hasn't he left for office yet?
"Morning dad. Where are the others?" I ask him noticing the absence of my friends.
"Good morning Percy. Your friends are out in the garden or in the garage I guess. Annabeth went to wake you up you know, at around 10. But she said something about your door being locked..." he trails off, not looking up from his laptop's screen. "You've never slept in this late though. It's...11:30 now son." He says frowning, finally looking up at me. His eyebrows rise up a bit in surprise when he notices Calypso standing close to me. A small smirk begins to play on his lips as he stares at our intertwined hands and stands up from his place at the couch. "Wow, that was fast" he says grinning, raising up an eyebrow at us. I just tighten my hold on Calypso and smile widely. He comes towards us and kisses Calypso on the forehead. "It's about time though" he says happily, slightly ruffling our hair. "And Calypso, don't restrain yourself from calling me dad again" He says, winking at her. I wasn't quite sure what he meant by that but the broad smile on her face after hearing the statement was enough for me to not question it. Dad has always had a soft spot for her you see, and loves her as much as he loves me- sometimes more than that. So, he insisted her at that time to call him dad claiming she was bound to call him that sooner or later.
I hear a gasp behind me and turn around to find a surprised Sara staring at us wide eyed. "Is it finally happening?" she asks looking at the two of us. I raise an eyebrow at her reaction. Is it really that surprising? Well I guess it is after two long years. "Oh, I'm so happy for the both of you!" she exclaims coming towards us with misty eyes, pulling us into a warm hug. She gets quite emotional sometimes. "Gods, finally someone who can handle this man" she says grinning at me. I chuckle at her remark as Calypso kisses my cheek, firmly holding my hand. It's true, no one knows me like her. Not my best friend, not my mom.
This brings me back to the problem at hand. "They are going to pissed at me aren't they?" I mutter to myself worriedly.
"Yes they are, but they'll love you nonetheless." Calypso says softly. Her smile comforts me and eases my tension as I smile back at her and excuse ourselves to meet our friends outside.
