How I won the game of love

Chapter 16

Annabeth's P.O.V.

He looked at us with those soft eyes of his.. such a sweet smile couldn't have been guilty…

Percy and I stared at the shrouded figure in front of us.

Of all of the people in our school, the last thing I expected was for Beckendorf… to become Luke's lap dog… he was too gentle and calm to be joining Luke..

I really hoped it wasn't my last day on this planet..

"I just want to talk." He said, stepping forward.

I glanced at Percy. His expression was rigid.

"What do you want? Aren't you supposed to work for Luke?" I asked, my voice laced with hostility.

Beckendorf lowered his dark eyes.

"Actually, it isn't like that, I don't want to hurt you at all.." (A/N *Fireworks explode and streamers float in the air*)

I blinked with surprise.

"You don't?

"No. Really I was against Luke the whole time. I pretended to agree with everything he said about you two… but really, I was undercover the whole time."

He eyed our hands, which were clasped together with a pointed expression.

I felt heat rush to my face and immediately let go of his hand. Hopefully, no one could see me blushing in the darkness.

"Um… so… anyway, why did you go undercover? This is sounding like one of those lame action movies now.."

Beckendorf rubbed the back of this head in a somewhat embarrassed matter.

"Yeah.. me too… but actually, I wanted to find out what really happened between you and Luke.. but it turned out to be more serious than I thought. Of course, he didn't tell me all of the details. "

I paled. It was good that he didn't know everything.

Percy's eyes widened a fraction of an inch.

"You're saying that you just were that curious to find out what happened between the two of them that you had to work with Luke to find out?"

"I.. wouldn't put it in that way…"

I finally decided that we had wasted too much time talking to Beckendorf. Luke wouldn't stay unconscious forever.

"Yeah… that's great and all but we need to go now.. we've knocked out Luke and I'm guessing he's going to wake up soon.

Beckendorf nodded.

"Before you go.. here is something that you might find useful…"

He slipped off his backpack and handed it to Percy.

"What's in it? Percy asked, testing the bag's weight.

"It's not that heavy at all."

Beckendorf shrugged.

"It's filled with all of the evidences you will need to take down Luke. I suspect that he's going to be furious when he wakes up. But he won't have anyone to depend on.. I'm finally done with doing the idiots bidding…"

I glanced at him with worry.

"Won't he try to take you down?"

He laughed.

"Nah… he's more focused on you two.. well I better get going.. and you better run away too before Luke loses his cool…"

I looked at his gift with amazement. This was I had been looking for all along. Finally… he would get the punishment he deserved for what he did to me all those months ago..

"Thank you so much… I-I really mean it."

My voice shook with emotion, but I really didn't care.. I was too happy.

"You really have changed Annabeth… I'm glad to see you as you once were… "

And after saying that, he disappeared in the shadows, leaving me and Percy alone again.

"Lets so." I said.

We ran for a few minutes, just to get a good start and walked all the way back to the school, after getting lost in the unfamiliar streets once or twice.

Once we were at the school, Percy handed me the bag.

I took it, understanding that he wouldn't know what to do with all of the evidence anyway.

"I take it you're quite happy.."

I laughed, letting loose all of the tension that was in my body and mind.

"Of course… its exactly what I needed for a long time… proper proof… man I owe Beckendorf a lot.."

He smirked

"Well… I guess our plan is successful.. so we can stop acting like we're dating now… I guess this is where we part.."

I stared at him.

"We don't have to separate.. we can be… friends…"

"I'm pretty sure you hate my guts.."

"I don't hate you that much.."

"Yeah.. I-I well.." he stammered.

I glared at him.

"Stop making this all dramatic.. we're friends, and that's i-"

I was interrupted my Percy grabbing my face and tugging me towards him.

I gasped in shock, but I didn't move.

I couldn't move.

His soft lips and the heat curling off of him was enough to make me paralyzed.

When he finally pulled away, I could feel myself blushing.

His hypnotizing sea-green eyes softened.

"I have really wanted to do that for a long time…"

Heeyeyey really short chapter… but at least I wrote something.. :/

Sorry, my romantic writing skills are really horrible..

All right! See you next time :D
