Amber's Point of View

I'm so happy that Percy came back to me, ever since he left there was always a part of me that wondered if he would eventually move on and forget about me. Obviously, I hoped not but I still couldn't help but worry, I love Percy with all my heart and most of the time I couldn't understand what had drawn him to me in the first place. I certainly wasn't anyone special just your typical shy nerdy girl who couldn't bring herself to speak to a guy she liked if her life depended on it.

I wasn't even sure how I'd managed to bring myself to speak to Percy the day we'd met but obviously, I was thankful I had even though our relationship hadn't exactly gone the way I'd originally hoped it would. I'm certainly not the best looking woman around either, I never bother with makeup or following fashion trends, I just wear whatever I think is nice and I don't really care if other people think my fashion choices are bad.

I don't really bother doing anything special with my hair either. I either leave it down and use a headband or a hair clip to keep it out of my face and sometimes I put it in a ponytail or a regular braid. I don't bother with complicated hairstyles that take a long time and are hard to learn. About the only aspect of the nerd stereotype that doesn't fit me is that I don't need glasses to see properly, I've never had eye problems so I just never needed them.

Despite all that I still somehow got Percy's attention and his heart. Even after he had to leave it seemed that he continued to love me and hadn't just moved on. I knew he was the god of loyalty but still, the thought of him moving on had always nagged me. Now that we are back together I still couldn't help but wonder why? What did he think was so special about me?

Just as these thoughts were going through my head there was a knock on the door and I suspected that it was probably Percy. Sure enough, when I opened the door there he was the Amazing man that I had fallen head over heels for so many years before. I let him come in and we were soon kissing heatedly. despite how much I was enjoying just being with him I couldn't quite shake my earlier thoughts.

I pulled away and asked, "Percy what is so special about me? I've just never really understood how someone like you could fall for me, Honestly, after you left I figured you'd just move on and forget about me, yet here we are, just as in love as we were twelve years ago. I just don't understand, there are many other women who are more attractive than me, for that matter, there are probably still a few goddesses available, why would you choose me?"

Percy replied, "Amber, you are beautiful, I wish you would stop thinking so little of yourself, it doesn't matter that you don't use a ton of makeup, or that your not the skinniest girl around, honestly women who are like that are too perfect, and I'm just not interested in someone like that. I turned down Aphrodite herself not just because I was already with you, but also because she's exactly the kind of person I'm not interested in,

Amber, your exactly the kind of girl that I'm interested in, I love you, and I wish you would stop doubting yourself so much,"

Reassured by what he said, I was finally able to relax as my earlier worries faded from my mind. I thanked him and relaxed in his arms, as I sat on his lap, it wasn't long before we started kissing again, and this time neither of us broke it until we had to stop for air. I looked forward to being able to spend the rest of my life with Percy, and I was happy that he would probably never leave me considering that he's the god of loyalty
