When I woke up, I found myself wrapped around Percy's arms, and I let out a muffled scream. I panicked. Percy moved, but didn't wake. I took several deep breaths before I calmed myself down. I tried to wriggle out of Percy's grasp, but suddenly his grip tightened. My spine tingled.

His grip loosened. I tried to do it again, but couldn't. He tightened his arms around my slim waist, and buried his head in my hair.

"Good morning, princess," he mumbled. I didn't respond. He turned me around, our faces inches away. I saw him taking a glimpse at my lips, and smiled.

"Please let me go now," I said, trying to control my feelings. He let go of me, and I stood up, hands on my hips.

"Do not do that again, that- that- that hugging-me-while-sleeping thing. Do you understand me?" I stared at him, glaring at his eyes.

Seriously, he does has beautiful eyes, I thought. He grinned, and surrendered.

"Okay, chill. I won't," Percy said, with a hint of apology in his voice. I finally calmed down. He got up, and walked towards me, face to face. He took a step closer, and I took a step backwards. He let out a whole-hearted, warm chuckle. It made me blush. He took a step closer, but this time I didn't move this time. He lifted his hand to touch my face, making me blush even more.

"My lovely princess is blushing! She looks pretty," he said, his breath blowing at my face. I leaned on his chest, hearing his heartbeat.

"I like my prince's eyes. They are beautiful," I whispered, and hugged him. He smells of sweet caramel, so warm, sweet, fragrant. I buried my head in his chest.

"I know, Princess. You have two lovely chocolate brown eyes, too" he said, and kissed my forehead. I giggled.

He lifted my head, and I stared into his green jewel eyes. Butterflies fluttered in my heart, my heart beating wildly. He tilted his head, and smirked. I gave him my sweetest smile, and in return, he pulled me in for a long kiss I will never forget.

He circled his arms on my waist, and pulled me closer. His soft, pink lips made its way to my neck, and my while body tingled. His hands made their way to my back, and stayed there. My eyes remained closed, but I was shocked by his move. Not long, he pulled away, looking at me warmly with his green eyes.

" I love you, Lyte," Percy whispered.

"Me too," I said. He kissed me once more, and this time something embarrassing happened. The tent was zipped open, and Rebecca, Chloe, Thalia, Jade, Ametrist, Annabeth, Dawn, Leo, Vincent, Grover, Jason, Travis, Reece, and Wilson crowded around the opening of the tent. Travis covered Vincent 's eyes and said, "Guys, make this scene PG please."

"Hey! I wanna see!" Vincent said. Everyone "Woo!" and "Ahh!" at us, laughing cheekily. We pulled away quickly, Percy blushing harder than me.

Percy coughed at his hand.

"Ahem.......since when I told you to open the tent?" He said, a hint of warning in his voice. Everyone pointed at Wilson, the cheeky one. He grinned, waving.

"Hi," he smiled. Percy gritted his teeth and said sarcastically, "You are going down, bad boy," and he ran towards Wilson. The boys played a moment of catching, making all of us laugh. I giggled.

"Boys," I shook my head. Thalia walked towards me, and whispered in my ear.

"Had a great time together?" She joked. I lightly punched her arm. She giggled.

"I used to like him too.....until what happened to Luke, my one and only brother. He could have saved him, but he was too selfish to do so. Instead he escaped by himself without having a thought for my brother." I could tell she was trying to fight back tears.

I put my hand on her shoulder.

"Don't blame him," I said, softly. She sniffed, nodding her head. She looked at me in the eye, and smiled. She wanted to say something, but decided not to. She turned, her back facing me, and walked away.
