Sweet creature, sweet creature

Wherever I go,you bring me home

Sweet creature, sweet creature

When I run out of rope, you bring me home  

***********

"Hurry up Annabeth," mom yelled as I finally wore my second earring.

"Coming,"I said as I checked myself again in the mirror.

After I applied a coat of lip gloss I went downstairs where my family was waiting for me.

"Finally you are here big sister,"Matthew said teasing me.

"Come on kids. We will be late,"Dad said opening the door.

We crossed the street and in front was Percy's house.

Dad rang the bell.

My heart was beating at the rate of 100 miles per second.

After a few minutes Sally opened the door.

Her red hair was tied in a high ponytail and she wore a pencil skirt.

"Welcome,"she said hugging my mom.

"Hello Mr.Chase,"Sally said looking at my dad.

"Hello Mrs. Jackson,"my dad replied as he seated himself on the sofa.

I sat there continuously looking at the staircase, waiting for Percy to walk down.

"Annabeth,"Sally said looking at me.

I turned towards her.

"Yo can go up to Percy's room. I wonder why he is not downstairs yet,"Sally said.

Bobby and Matthew were unexpectedly sitting quietly as they chewed on some potato chips.

I got up and walked up the stairs.

The same door which had 'Percy' written on it.

I turned the doorknob and entered the room.

The room was cold and cosy. It was just the same like the last time.

"Who the-"Percy asked as he got up from the bed.

"Wise Girl?"he said as he looked at me.

I stood there cold, rubbing my arms because I was wearing a short dress.

"Come and sit,"he said as he directed me to sit beside him.

I obeyed him and sat beside him.

He got up and got a jacket from his closet.

"Wear this,"he said as he made me wear the jacket. His jacket was blue and smelled like oceans.

"Why didn't you come downstairs?"I asked him as he wrapped his arms around me.

"I didn't feel like,"he said as he switched on the television.

We sat quietly as we watched TV.

"Dinner's ready,"Sally yelled from downstairs.

"Coming,"Percy yelled back as we got up from his bed.

The dinner was full with laughters and talks.

Sally bought some ice-cream after the dinner.

"Annabeth we would be leaving after sometime," mom reminded me as me and Percy walked upstairs to his room.

We went back on his bed and he switched on the TV.

I was still wearing his jacket and he didn't complain.

"Are you over with Luke?"Percy asked out of the blue, as he turned his face to look at me. I fiddled with my fingers, not sure on about how to answer his question. Was I over with him?

"I don't think so,"I said as he moved his hair from the eyes, so that our eyes look directly into each other's.

"It will take time but you will eventually. I warned you but you didn't take my words seriously. Luke has been, or well now had been, my best friend from god knows how many year. If he gets a girl in his eyes he wouldn't leave her till she has sex with him. I'm glad that he found Drew before he had sex with you or you might have landed pregnant,"Percy said joking.

I widened my eyes at him.

"I don't know Percy. You have made me feel a lot better since the breakup. Luke is just so damn confusing. First he told me that he loved me and then he made it out with Drew. I'm just so bad at making choices. This was my first relationship and a heartbreak-" I was cut off by Percy as he smacked his soft, pink lips to mine.

I could just feel my cheeks flaming red but I didn't hesitate to kiss him back. His breath had the smell of peppermint. His strong arms tightened around my waist and I sat on his lap as I ruffled his hair with my hands. Our kiss deepened.

Oh my Hades! I was kissing Perseus Jackson! The second most popular boy in Goode. I hope that he's not a player like Luke because majority of the popular guys are bad boys who use girls like sex dolls like Luke does.

We finally pulled apart and my cheeks flushed.

"Sorry but you didn't stop talking," Percy said as he played with his ring on the middle finger.

"It's ok," was my only reply.

"Did I take your first official kiss?" Percy asked, his eyes twinkling like that of shining stars.

I didn't reply and stared at the blanket hoping that Percy would get to know the answer. And he did.

"Don't tell me that the fucker boy took your first kiss!" Percy said his voice full of frustration.

"Come on seaweed brain. Forget about him," I said starting to change the topic.

"This is insane," Percy muttered not discussing about this topic anymore.

"Have you dated anybody?" I asked.

Percy blushed and I knew the answer.

"Who?" I said nudging him.

"In Year 7. There was this girl called Reyna. But she dumped me," Percy said his voice drowning at the last part.

I petted his shoulder.

"Experienced," I muttered as I lay my head on his strong, muscular shoulder.

His arms crept around me as e watched TV.

"Annabeth, come on darling, we're heading home," mom yelled from downstairs.

I got out from the bed and wore my heels.

I started handing over the jacket to Percy but he gave it back to me.

"Keep it with you. As a remembrance," he said as he winked at me.

I smiled and said," See you tomorrow seaweed brain."

"See ya Wise Girl," he said as I went downstairs.

"Thanks Sally for the dinner," I said as I hugged her.

"Oh it's my pleasure that you liked it," she said as she waved us goodbye.

I took a last glance at Percy's balcony and he was standing there.

He waved at me and I waved back.

After I entered my house, I went upstairs to my room with Bobby and Matthew fighting behind me on some foolish game.

I changed into my PJ's and held Percy's jacket close to me as I closed my eyes.
