Loved By Will

Shopping

Annabeth's POV

   Percy and I were deciding on a wedding date. It was currently July 17 and we were contemplating how long it would take us to get everything done. "Well we need a venue and we both need to go shopping. There's so much to choose Annabeth. Why don't you choose stuff for the venue and I'll go shopping for myself?" I laughed softly.

   "The girls are taking me dress shopping next week on Tuesday. Make plans with the guys to go tux shopping. We'll sit down one day and decide everything at the venue. We will choose the venue right now." He nodded. We spent hours trying to decide on a venue.

"What about this? It's a nice place. Has a pretty church looking thing to it. I say we get married there." I sighed softly. "Are you okay, Annabeth? What's wrong?" He came closer to me and wrapped an arm around my waist.

"I wanted an outdoor wedding but whatever. You obviously like that place." He sighed and leaned down to look me in the eyes.

"It was a thought, Annabeth. I wanted to see if you changed your mind. But you didn't. Look, I know girls. You've had your dream wedding planned in your head since you were a kid, right? Well I want to make it a reality. I want to make you happy and if you want an outdoor wedding then we are having an outdoor wedding, okay?" I smiled softly and nodded.

"Can we decide this later? I really want to lay down." I put my hand softly on his arm and looked at him with pleading eyes. He stared down at the ring on my hand and smiled softly before closing his laptop and giving me a kiss on the forehead. I got up and walked to the couch. He went into the kitchen and made some popcorn for us. He poured it into a bowl and put it on the table in front of the couch. He turned on the TV to our favorite show and went back behind me.

He pressed his hands down on my shoulders to give me a short neck rub. I sighed in contentment and tears fell out of my eyes. He looked down at me, his eyebrows furrowed and he stopped and sat down next to me.

"I didn't mean to upset you." He told me reassuringly. I waved it off in a way to tell him that wasn't why I was crying.

"I'm so stressed out. I just needed to cry it out, I guess." I managed between the small whimpers that came out as I cried. He rubbed my back.

"I know, it's really stressful for me, too. But when it's over, we'll be married, Annabeth. It's like a reassurance that we'll never lose each other again." He smiled down at me. I turned and took no hesitation in wrapping my arms around his torso and snuggling my head straight into his chest. He chuckled softly and wrapped his arms around my waist. He pressed his lips to the top of my head. I moved my hands to his neck and I rested my head in the crook of his neck. I took in his scent and smiled. He smelled like the ocean, like always. I don't know if that's a natural scent or not but I love how he smells. He pulled back and sat down so he was facing the TV. He pulled me back down so the back of my head was in his lap and we spent the rest of the day just commenting on the TV shows we watched and cuddling.

I woke up on Tuesday morning and walked out of the room. Percy had already made breakfast, blue pancakes, and the girls were already here. They all smiled at me and I sat down and ate breakfast. I finished and brushed my teeth and then got dressed. I gave Percy a quick kiss on the cheek and hugged him. He smiled.

"Are you read to go?" Piper questioned. I nodded and smiled at Percy as I waved. He smiled back.

"Annabeth. The guys are taking me shopping tomorrow. I'm gonna try to find a venue." I nodded.

"Okay, bye Percy. Love you!"

"Love you too."
