Jealousy?
Percy's POV:
" Are you feeling better?" I asked her
" Huh, oh yeah I am." She said
" Did you get hurt badly?"
" Just a bang on the head and a few scars. But it isn't as bad as the time we held up the sky"
" oh yeah, that was bad"
"I never did get to thank you"
" For what?"
" For saving me from the Laistrygonians. I never knew you had it in you Seaweed Brain."
" I am capable of doing things "
" Why did you scream at them when they tried to touch me?"
" I couldn't watch them kill my best friend. And because.... I care for you"
" Really? In what terms?"
" Huh?"
" Oh never mind. Percy can I ask you something? But you have to swear on the over Styx that the answer is the truth."
" Ok. I swear on the river Styx that my answer will be the truth."
" Do you like me?"
" Um, what do you mean?"
" I heard some people say that you liked me, but I wanted to hear it from you.
" Umm, I- I think i do like you" I said, feeling embarrassed and red.
" Really? Are you sure you like me?"
" Yes, but do you?"
" I guess I have learned to find your annoyingness cute and likable"
" So, thats a yes" I asked not believing what I heard
She laughed her beautiful laugh, " Yes Seaweed Brain"
But then her face turned cold and a little anger and sadness showed.
" I don't believe you "
" What? I just told you that I like you."
" Since when?"
" I realized I liked you when we were looking for the Golden Fleece."
" YOU'RE LYING!"
" No! Why would you think that?"
She started to tear up, and she spoke in a whisper,
" I h-heard about your kiss with Rachel. Don't think you can hide things from me forever." ( In this book, Percy still went to Rachel in the summer and kissed like they did in the Last Olympian, but he didn't go onto the monster boat with Beckendorf.)
" Oh that"
" Yeah that. Are you going to take back what you said and go running to your girlfriend?"
" No, I didn't kiss her. She kissed me and it was only for a second."
" You didn't stop her. You enjoyed it."
" No hats not true. It was a small peck so I didn't have time to react. Listen Annabeth, you are the only one I like"
" I find that hard to believe. I don't want my heart to get broken a second time?"
" A second ime? Oh..... Luke"
I hugged Annabeth, " I promise I wont break your heart."
" I want to believe you Seaweed Brain, but my brain tells me not to trust you without proof."
I leaned in and kissed her She kissed back and it wasn't a small one like the one in the Labyrinth
" Is that enough proof?"
She nodded, then she put her head on my lap, and she fell asleep. I played with the curls on her hair.
I looked at where Emma was sleeping. She opened her eyes and winked at me. Then she sat up.
" Nice job Percy" she said
" What are you talking about"
She pointed at Annabeth.
I blushed
" Mom is gonna be overjoyed"
" Why?"
" When we were talking she told me that I had to get you guys together"
" But you didn't "
" Actually I did. After I talked to you about Annabeth, I talked to her about you. I told her that she should ask you if you liked her and I told her that you would say yes."
" I never knew that you and mom were making plans already."
" Yeah. How about you sleep with Sleeping Beauty over here"
" Are you sure?"
" yeah I am good"
I layed down. Annabeth kissed my cheek and then she put her head on my chest and i put my arm around her.
I heard Emma chuckle from behind my but i ignored her. This moment was one that I would treasure. I kissed Annabeth on her head then fell asleep.
