Drown with me || Percabeth AU

Chapter 9

"So here is your destination" the surfer boy said.

I jumped off the motorbike and looked back at him. He looked like someone from a movie. I'm not someone who merely judges people on their face though so he hasn't earned my respect yet.

"It's still raining, may I invite you in for tea".

The boy smirked, "tea?"

"Well I also have got chocolate if that's more you speed" I snapped at him.

He laughed. "Sure sounds nice".

He got off the bike and we both walked to my house.

I took off my shoes and walk inside, I grabbed a towel from my bathroom and took the small cotton ball out of my jacket and into a towel. I will wait for it to relax people anything else.

I turned to see the surfer boy standing the the doorway like a lost puppy.

"So is that hot chocolate for you".

"Yeah thanks".

"You saved me and my owl from a damp fate so it's the least I can do".

He took off his jacket and went over to the fire to warm his hands. The gentle pattering of the rain on the roof was welcoming.

I filled the jug and set out some mugs.

The boy came back over.

"It's funny, I have seen you walking around on the beach for the past week or so but I didn't realise we were this close".

I felt a rush of blood to my face.

"What do you mean?"

"Well I am living in my moms beach cabin about five hundred feet or so down the beach".

"Are you here with your mom".

"Nah, we are moving here from New York and she wanted out from under her feet whilst she moved in".

" interesting". The jug let out a long whistle, I poured myself some tea and him a him chocolate. He took his mug and took a swig even though it was hot.

"I haven't caught your name surfer boy, might I ask what it is".

He fixed his piercing Sea green eyes on me.

"Percy Jackson, Nice to met you-".

"Annabeth Chase" we both shook hands. His fingers long , he could be a piano player.

"This may  sound forward but can you surf".

"You saw me surfing in the storm, can I surf?" He mocked me.

"Well can you teach me how to surf".

He was silent for a while,

"Have you got a board".

"Yeah". I walked over to my cupboard and pulled out my yellow surfboard.

"Nice surfboard".

"It was my moms".

"Have you got any previous experience surfing".

I tried not to blush, I don't want to let him know that I can barely go in the water without having a panic attack.

"A-ah I can't surf but I can swim".

"Well swimming is a good start".

I smiled over at him. He seemed really nice.

"And there is no time like the present so". Percy grabbed my board and ran out the door.

"wait what?"

"Let's go surfing Annabeth", he shouted back at me.
