Percy and Annabeth

Alessandro's part 2!!

Annabeth's POV

I put on my sea foam green dress. It had beading lining the heart shaped neckline. It was knee length and flared at the waist. I grabbed my peach hand bag and I straightened my hair. I put on eyeliner and mascara because that was all I knew what to do.

When I was finished I walked out of the bathroom.

Percy's POV.

Annabeth took forever getting readyof the bathroom and when she finally did it was worth the wait. Her dress was a light green and her hair was straight. She was wearing eyeliner(I could tell because her eyes stood out more and around her eyelashes seemed darker). She grabbed her phone and we walked out the door.

We arrived at the restaurant and walked in. I said to the women. "We have a reservation, under the name Jackson."

"Yes of course Mr and Mrs. Jackson. Right this way." I glanced at Annabeth and the waitress calling her Mrs. Jackson didn't phase her at all. She actually seemed fine. The waitress led us to our table. I pulled out the chair for Annabeth and she sat down. I sat down across from her, smiling.

"What's all this" she gestured to the restaurant "for? I mean it's great! But why?"

"I wanted to take you somewhere nice."

"Percy what's wrong?" I must have had a strange look on my face.

I reached over and clasped her hand. "Absolutely nothing is wrong."

She smiled then pulled away. Looking over the menu. "Mm deep fried cucumbers."

I scrunched up my nose at that. "I don't think that would taste that good."

She giggled. "You're probably right."

A brown haired girl bounced over to us. "Hi there! I'm Lizzie and I'll be your waitress for tonight. Can I start you off with anything to drink?" She pulled out a small notebook.

"Um. Pepsi." I blurted out "Thanks." I added when I noticed Annabeth's glare.

"Um yeah. Me too." Annabeth said to the waitress.

"Okey dokey. Sounds great!" Said our server Lizzie. Lizzie lingered for a little bit staring at me. Then she bounced away to another table.

As the night wore on I was more and more nervous. Annabeth and I had finished our food and we were paying the bill when I suggested we go get some ice cream. She seemed to like the idea so we got in the car and drove off.

We arrived at home and it was 11 o'clock. I unlocked the door and Annabeth threw her bag down. On the table by the door. I closed the door and grabbed Annabeth's hand. I knelt down on one knee. Annabeth paled. Is this a good idea? What if she says no? I thought. Then she smiled and I smiled back.

"Annabeth Chase," I started, "words can't describe the way I feel about you. But they can try. I love you. You are my everything. I am devoted to you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, every waking moment. I have wanted to ask you for a long time and I'm sorry for that but I'm asking you now. Will you marry me?"
