A Loophole (Percabeth Selection)

24- "More Than Okay."

(I love this chapter!)

Are there any characters in PJO or HOO that you want me to bring in?

Breakfast was served in our rooms as the dining hall was currently full of decorations they were using to decorate the ballroom for the Summer Ball.

The girls let me have a long bath and I stayed in there until the water started to go cold. They put me one of the palace's fluffy white robes and set to dusting the perfectly clean room.

"Oh, come on," I groaned. "Are you seriously going to clean this room?"

Hazel shrugged and just as I was about to tell them to stop and come sit with me, someone knocked on the door.

I jumped up from the bed and bolted to the bathroom, holding the robe that was already tied around my body tighter. I stuck my head out of the bathroom to watch Alicia open the door.

"Oh, Lady Piper."

A grin spread across my face as I stepped back into the bathroom and Piper walked in.

"Alicia, right?" She asked.

Alicia nodded.

"Hey, Annabeth." Piper walked over and sat on the edge of my bed. Her hair was done up in an intricate way and strands framed her face. She had light makeup on and was wearing the same robe I was.

"What's up, Piper?" I sat down next to her.

She flopped down on my bed and looked at me sideways. "I was bored. I still am. So I decided that you could be my cure for that boredom."

I crossed my arms. "How very nice of you."

She slapped me on the arm lightly. "Oh pish posh! I still haven't heard every detail about that city date with princely poo."

"Well," I sighed and flopped down next to her. "What do you want to know?"

"Tell her about the part where he told you he loves your eyes." Hazel piped up from the balcony doors.

"Oh, yeah," Justine added. "Also tell her the part when he bought you four books."

Alicia put her hand up. "Don't forget the part where he kissed you."

Piper sat upright. "She gets all the kisses doesn't she?"

I scrunched my eyebrows together. "Has he not kissed you yet?"

Pipers eyes widened and she turned her face away from me. "No, we haven't. I've been a bit- I've been a bit busy lately."

"Busy?" I raised my eyebrows moving closer to her. "And what have you been doing?"

She crossed her arms over her chest and faced me again. "Just you know- it's none of your business!"

I smirked. "I think I know what's going on here."

She visually gulped.

"You're exploring the palace!"

She sighed a breath of relief.

"With Jason!"

She jumped off the bed and landed with a painful oof on the ground.

She quickly got up and rubbed her elbow. "What? No! No, no, no. I've been doing it on my own!" She looked around at all of our faces. "Who the hell is Jason anyway?"
