Percabeth One Shots💅🏻✨

88. The Beach House

More of a short story than a one shot I guess... Also lets not mention the slight inconsistencies please. I'm aware they're there but I can't quite figure out what I want to do about them So heads up to the quick change in Percy's mind!

"Mom! Can we please get going!?"

"We're waiting for Paul, I told you that Percy."

"I know I just wanna get to the beach." And maybe see that pretty girl from last summer...
. . .

We pile out of the car and I throw my bags down in my room. I start to unpack and every so often I peek out the window to see if she's there. She has this beautiful head of curly red hair. Her clothes are always covered in doodles, decorative holes and paint splotches. I learned, through some deep dives on instagram that her name is Rachel. I don't want to say its love but... I do believe in love at first sight so... who knows? I've got the whole summer to make my move.

"Percy! Can you help us with the groceries?"

"Yeah coming mom!" I run out and see Paul struggling with the alcohol I'm not allowed to have. Yeah okay. Sure Mom, you let me know how that goes when you, Paul and Estelle are at the beach.

I love my mom though, she's awesome, she just doesn't like it when I drink, even though I'm practically of age! I'm eighteen! Whatever...

I kick back on my bed, and see if Rachel's in Montauk yet. As I scroll I see the Stolls are in Africa, the Graces are in Italy with the Di'Angelo's. The Solace's are in Florida, makes sense, the sunshine state and all I suppose. Frank is spending the summer with Leo in Texas. Pretty much all my friends are having fun without me. Great.

Finally! I see R.d.a.r.e she's funny like that. Do you get it? Like the whole D.A.R.E. program? At least thats what I assume it is. I see signs all over Mamaroneck with DARE... I don't know.

It seems to me that Rachel is loaded! So she definitely doesn't live anywhere near my beach house. We saved up for years to buy this little cottage and it wasn't until Mom married Paul that we could actually afford our little slice of the pie.

Anyways back to her instagram. She has photos of her in helicopters, and bikinis, oh the bikinis. Who knew she had such a nice... figure? I certainly didn't until well, you know.

"Honey!?"

"Yeah Mom?" My mom and Paul just came back inside from a walk on the beach...

"Can you take your sister to the beach?"

"Y-You were just there!"

"Please?"

"Yeah..." I sigh defeatedly and grab Stella. "Come on Stellarz." She giggled and rode on my shoulders. "You gonna finally learn how to swim?"

"I wanna build a castle!!"

"Alright... if that's really what you want." I take off in a sprint and dive into the water with Stella still on my back.

"Percy!"

"Oh come on Stellarz." We splashed around until she got hungry. Luckily I had remembered my waterproof wallet so everything was A-okay. "Lets get you something blue huh?" She giggled as she got on my back.

"Giddy up!"

"I am no pony!"

"Yes you are now mush!" Ugh. I buy her Cookie Monster ice cream and end up eating most of it myself but she would have never finished it... "Castle?" I nod and we walk over to a spot close enough to the wet sand but far enough away that when the tide comes in we won't be affected.
