Be Careful What You Wish For
The sun was shining through Clarisse's window. She starts tossing around on the bed because of the light hitting her face. While tossing around, she ends up touching something. She opens her eyes and sees a basket with some chocolate, breads and fruits inside. There was also a letter over it. Clarisse reaches her hand and takes the letter. She opens it. It was a message from Percy.
I hope you liked your basket.
When you are done, meet me in the lobby.
'Wow, how I've never noticed how sweet Percy can be?' - Clarisse thinks and smiles a little bit. She opens the basket and starts eating and turns on the TV. It was playing a movie about a vampire who falls in love with a woman. The vampire gets so obsessed that he makes the woman forget about her life and she only stays with him.Â
'Weird' - Clarisse thinks. She notices she already ate everything. She realizes she must have been really hungry. So, she turns the TV Off and goes to the bathroom. She opens the door, takes her clothes off and takes a bath. After she is finished, she puts her bras and underwear. Then, she goes to her closet and takes the first cloth she sees: a short and a plaid red shirt. She puts them on and leaves. She takes the elevator and finds Percy waiting for her in the lobby.
- Hey! Finally arrived! - Percy says with a smile on his face. He already has plans to have some fun around here with Clarisse.Â
- Yeah, I did! - Clarisse says and both stay silent avoiding eye contact. Percy puts his hand behind his head and looks at Clarisse, who was still not looking at him.
- So, uh...would you like to have some fun? - Percy asks a little shy. He finds it strange because he never really felt this way around someone else, maybe only with Rachel. Percy knows that even though Annabeth used to be his girlfriend, he understands now that their relationship was just an infatuation. Percy grew up and is still discovering things about himself.
- Sure! - Clarisse says and smiles. Percy also smiles and gets Clarisse's hand. He takes her to the water slides. Percy lets Clarisse go first, then he follows after her. They laugh and scream while they get wet. They fall in the water and smile at each other under the water. Clarisse swims to get her head out of the water, so that she could take a breath. Percy follows Clarisse and stares at her.
- Wow, that was fun! - Clarisse says and smiles at Percy, who was still staring at her.
- It sure was! - Percy says and laughs. Clarisse walks away to get out of the water and Percy follows her. Clarisse trembles from the cold and puts her arms around her body. Percy notices this.
- What? Are you feeling cold? - Percy asks while he gives her a smirk and Clarisse nods her head and continues trembling.
- Well, let's go back for you to take a shower. Then, i can take you to have some lunch. - Percy says and puts his arm around Clarisse's shoulder, who trembles more with the touch. Clarisse can feel the cold touch of Percy's arm, but prefers not to comment anything.Â
