He Didn't Know How To Go After Things He Wanted

It took another four days of Percy stalking Younger Roman for there to be an opening. He and Harry were out to eat and both happened to be playing Words with Pals when Roman had to go to the bathroom and left his phone unattended on the table. 

Percy texted Roman immediately telling him to act and he had to put his plan into action. It was rather simple, really. All he needed to do was a little bit of flirting and see if Penny took the bait. 

He sent her a message through the game's chat. 'We're pretty evenly matched in this game so why don't we make a bet?'

She replied almost immediately. 'What kind of bet?'

'If I win, you have to buy me dinner but if you win, I have to buy you dinner. How about it?'

'But that means that we're getting dinner together either way'

'Exactly' Roman sent with a winking emoji.
