Lip-gloss

Not all girls wear lip-gloss, you know?

Annabeth's POV:

"Stop it!" I said between laughs

"Forget it"

Yeah. He was mature enough to be tickling me. I was spending the day with him, and we were both sitting on his bed. Really, when you didn't have homework, spending the afternoon with your boyfriend seemed like a pretty good idea. I was begging him to stop, but since he knew I was maybe the most ticklish woman on earth, he wouldn't even listen to me. Finally, after what seemed for ages to me, I was able to grab his hands. Once I could breath normally again, I looked into his eyes.

"You know?" I told him "One of these days I'm gonna take revenge on all the times you tickle me"

"If you do something to me, the only thing I would do is tickle you, and that way, you'll surrender"

"I won't" We both knew it was a big lie. I was vulnerable to tickles, especially Percy's.

"Yeah, sure" Percy said ironically before lying next to me

I pressed myself to my boyfriend. With one arm, he reached the T.V. remote, and the other one was around me, keeping me even closer to him. He turned on the T.V. and I closed my eyes, wanting, at least, to rest a little bit. You don't have an idea of how stressful I was. Between school, Olympus and camp, I barely had time for myself. Being with Percy actually helped me in that way. It was not only precious time with my boyfriend; it was also a way to disconnect from my other problems. I was that disconnected that I didn't realized Percy was getting up from his bed.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Coke" he said simply "You want some?"

"No thanks"

He went to the kitchen, and as he wasn't there, I grabbed the T.V. remote and changed the channel. Percy walked in, Coke in hand, and didn't even notice it. After he sat on his bed, we went back to the same position we were before. When he wrapped his arm around me, he kissed my cheek.

"What was that for?" I asked

"Can't I kiss my girl without a reason?" he looked into my eyes

"Course you can"

I leaned in and kiss him, but a second later he pulled away and looked down, not meeting my eyes.

"Something's wrong?" I asked him

"No… I just… wha… what are you wearing?" he said, clearly uncomfortable

"Jeans…?" it came out more like a question than like a direct answer

"No… I mean… I mean why you are wearing lip-gloss" he finally met my eyes

"Oh…" I remembered that I had found it that morning on my bathroom "I just thought you would like it… but it seems you don't"

"No, Annabeth look. I like it when we go out to have dinner and you wear a little makeup, I really do, but you are not like this. I know you, and you don't like wearing makeup, so I don't understand why you are using lip-gloss"

"I told you, it was a stupid thought, I thought you'd like it"

"Hey, hey, look at me;" he lit my chin up with his hand "If you want to use lip-gloss, use it. I have to admit it, I really like it. It's cherry. But I know that you are wearing it for another reason. So please, tell me"

"Look, Piper came the other day and she forgot it. I found it in the bathroom and decided to try it on. Percy it's no big deal. Don't make a scene out of this"

"I'm not making one. But I was right. The lip-gloss is not yours, because you don't wear it, and the only lip-gloss you have is right in that very shelve." He pointed at the top shelve, where the only lip-gloss I have ever bought was. I guess I have forgotten it here sometime ago "You know what? Let's do something. I take you out for dinner next Friday, and you put on the lip-gloss. But in the time you are here," he started to pass his thumb over my lips, the lip-gloss sticking on his finger "just be the one we both know you like to be. Deal?"

I didn't answer. I simply kissed him. I passed my hand through his hair and then he pulled apart.

"Much better" he said and kissed me again

We kept kissing for about five minutes. After we pulled apart, I buried my face in his neck and kissed it slowly.

"I love you"

"I love you too"

I closed my eyes, with the same idea of resting that I had thirty minutes ago. Suddenly, Percy called me.

"Annabeth?"

"Yes?"

"You put this documentary about the Second World War while I was gone, right?"

Dang, I thought, he caught me

SO? HOW WAS IT? PLEASE, LEAVE A REVIEW!
