A/N: Well hello! Just a one-shot Percabeth moment of misunderstanding. And this is why you shouldn't eavesdrop – or if you do, make sure you heard the whole conversation and know the whole story! : )

Hope you enjoy!

Annabeth's POV

We were sailing to Greece. I'm not a big fan of sailing, probably because of the Athena/Poseidon feud, so I went below deck to rest on a hammock. On my way down, I heard Percy talking on his cellphone [A/N Percy's a big boy now so his mommy trusted him with a cellphone : )] with someone. I'm not usually an eavesdropper, but his words caught my attention.

"Hello? Oh hey, sweetie, what's up?"

Sweetie?

"I don't know how soon I can make it there, baby girl. Hmm . . . I have a lot to do but if I can find time for Ann- um, a friend, I can find time for you, princess. Right, well I have to go, Dorrie, see you later. Love you -" he blew a kiss through the phone and hung up.

My mouth fell open. He was cheating on me? I wanted to run and cry, but he was not going to get away with this!

"Perseus Jackson!" I shouted. He looked up. "Hey Annabeth." "Oh don't you 'hey Annabeth' me, mister!" he raised his eyebrows. "Are you okay? You seem kinda tense and your face is red." I was about ready to slap him. "Who were you talking to?" He looked confused but I wasn't going to buy the innocence. "Huh? What are you talking about?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "You know exactly what I'm talking about, Perseus, so spit it out!" Now, he looked irritated. "Annabeth, I seriously don't know what the Hades you're talking about!" I huffed. "Fine, then let me clear it up." I stepped closer to him and he took a step back. Good - he better be afraid of me.

"I heard you talking to a girl-" He smirked. "So I can't talk to girls now? Are you jealous?" "Let me finish! I don't mind you talking to girls but when you start calling them sweetie, baby girl, princess - that's just not right!" He crinkled his eyebrows, which made me hate him for looking so adorable. "When did you hear that?" "Just now! You were talking to some girl named Dorrie!" There was an intense pause while I pondered whether or not to break up with him now or later for cheating before realization dawned on his face. "Oh! Dorrie is short for Dorean - it means 'of the sea'." He stared at me intently as if I was supposed to understand something but I was too angry to think straight. "I don't give a shizz! Who the Hades is this Dorrie chick and why did you tell her you loved her?" Percy laughed, placing his hnds on my shoulders so I'd stop trembling from anger, and looked into my eyes. "Dorrie is my little half-sister from my dad's side!"

There was only one thing I could think to say as I looked up into his eyes, gleaming with silent amusement as my anger completely melted and morphed to embarrassment. It wasn't even 'sorry' - just a small, faint -

"Oh."

Well this was awkward.

A/N: Hee-hee

R&R!
