Annabeth

He was so adorable! I watched as he shuffled nervously, glancing around, biting his lip. I smiled to myself. I was staying at my half-sister, Hattie's house. She was very kind, smart, funny, and was an expert with relationships (A little too much of an expert, sometimes). I had given Percy my new address. He was actually here on time, for once.

On time for what, you ask? Our date. At six o'clock. So what am I doing here, in my room, watching from my window? Oh, gods, Percy is so cute. I just wanted to have a look at him. Yeah, yeah, I know. I can look at him all I want when we're doing...stuff.

"Hey!"

Uh, oh. He saw me. I'm so busted.

"What're you doing?"

I glanced down at my boyfriend. My cheeks went pink.

"Umm..." I groped for an excuse. Percy laughed. "Never mind! Just come on down!" He called. I blushed even brighter. As I ducked back inside, I could hear him hooting even harder.

Okay, so you got your wish. I've been caught. Just stop laughing!

I made my way downstairs, saying goodbye to Hattie on the way. She smiled and waved me away. "Hurry, you don't want keep him waiting!" She said cheerfully.

I walked out the door and into Percy's arms. Thankfully, he had stopped laughing. He held me tight, and I snuggled closer, happy to find I fit into his arms like no other. Percy stepped back and lifted my chin. My face flushed as red as a tomato.

Percy grinned. My heart flipped. "Why were you watching me?" The question I had been dreading.

Now, don't go all; 'Just answer him. Tell him he's cute. He already knows you like him. For god's sake, you're dating!' It's harder than that.

"Er... Noth-nothing." I stammered. Seaweed Brain chuckled.

"Just tell me."

"I told you, I wasn't doing anything!"

"Come on, Wise Girl, sure."

Yeah, I get it. This is Percy, he's not going to cut it out until I give in. Well, I'm not going to give in!

He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him. I gasped. My heart felt funny, like it was dancing. He rested his forehead on mine. Automatically, my hands slipped around his neck. Percy gave me a lopsided smile.

"Now, why were you watching me?"

My lips trembled. The next thing I knew, instead of answering him, my lips were way too busy doing something else.
