Percy Jackson And Sadie Kane: A Forbidden Love

chapter 25

Sadie Pov

We all had to meet up at Percy's. This kinda made me nervous. Why? I'm not sure. Maybe it's the fact that I'll be meeting his mom for the first time that scares me. I wonder how she'd be. Well, she's Percy's mom. She'll be great.

Me, Carter, Jaz, Walt, Jake and Zia arrived at Percy's apartment. After checking wether we'd got the right place, Carter rang the doorbell. Guess who opened the door.

"I forgot you live here too." I said, smirking as I saw his sleepy expression.

"Yeah, yeah whatever. Come in, make yourselves at home, blah blah. Percy's coming. Sally's in the kitchen. Be nice to her." With that, Nico Di Angelo grumpily stalked off to his room.

Then I heard laughter. Percy emerged out of nowhere. "He's such a grandpa when he's sleepy." He said. We all entered and Percy closed the door behind us. He was dressed in a V-neck navy blue t-shirt and faded jeans. His tousled black hair were as untamed as ever, making him look really handsome.

Percy looked at our little group and his eyes narrowed in confusion. "We haven't met before, have we?" He asked, looking at Zia.

"I'm so sorry. I forgot to introduce her. Percy, this is Zia Rashid, my girlfriend. Zia, this is Percy." Percy smiled at Zia, who smiled back politely.

"Glad to finally meet the person Carter's always talking about." Percy stated. Carter blushed when Zia glanced at him. I smirked, which Zia noticed.

"And I'm glad to finally meet the person Sadie wouldn't shut up about." Zia said. I paled when I saw Percy raise his eyebrows slightly.

"Sadie...talks about me?" He asked.

"Yeah. I was just telling Zia about how good you're at sword fighting." I said. Percy smiled humbly.

"Practice." Was all he said.

We all became comfortable in his living room, which was really nice and cozy. A beautiful middle aged woman entered the living room with a tray of what looked like freshly baked cookies. Freshly baked blue cookies.

"Hey kids. I'm Sally. And you must be Percy's friends." She said. I heard Percy cough 'obviously' into his fist, but then his face turned mockingly serious when Sally playfully glared at him. I could easily tell that they had a very good mother son bond just by the way they were behaving towards each other.

We all introduced ourselves. I went last. Sally's gaze was so intense that I felt that I couldn't hide anything from her. I'd lie and she'd know. In fact, I couldn't even lie to her. Instantly I understood where Percy's eyes got their intensity.

Nico emerged from his room, looking more awake and less grumpy.

"Hey, you're Zia, I guess." Nico said. And obviously we were all surprised at this.

"And you know me how?" Zia asked.

"Oh, it's just the close proximity between Carter and you. I figured you must be his famous girlfriend." Nico said. I saw Percy's eyes widened

"Very observant. Good job Nico." He said, not at all serious about his comment. Nico rolled his eyes. My heart lightened at the sight of Percy making jokes. His light hearted tone seemed to lift a weight off of my heart. (Too much hearts in one paragraph.)
