The Rest of Our Lives
7 years after the giant war (Percy and Annabeth were 17 then)
Percy's POV
Right now I'm 24 years old and just got out of college Annabeth and i I are living together and work decent jobs during the week. I'm and intern at a marine biologist lab while Annabeth is a full blown architect reconstructing the empire state building as we speak. She's at her desk doing that cute thing she does with her nose when she scrunches it and bites her lip and mumbles to herself. Tonight I planned us a starlight picnic on the beach and tonight I'm going to propose. I tried a total of two times already. The first time was just out of the blue. We were just talking but the conversation sounded something like this.
*Flashback*
“Hey Annabeth" I said to her after the giant war had ended and things were just getting peaceful. We were sitting on the roof of my cabin looking at the star.
"Yes, Seaweed Brain." She asks me in an annoyed fashion of me taking her away from her only peaceful moment. Camp has been crazy lately while we try to work out things with camp Jupiter which Annabeth has the job of doing that with the help of Piper being the Dove and all.
"I was just thinking." I say
“WOW! That’s a first" She snorts out but when she sees my face says, “sorry go on."
"Well I was thinking, whatifwegotmarrried" I say in a mumble because now she embarrassed me.
"What, did you just say what I think you said Percy?" She says getting up.
“Maybe"
"Percy, baby I would love too but with what’s going on right now and I would like to go to college grow some more. We are too young" she ends with while holds my face
I just look at her and she looks at me. Finally she lets me go and says.
“Look, I love you but we are too young. Think about it, Okay. I got to go see you tomorrow seaweed brain." she says as she pecks me on the lips and climbs down
While I sit there and do what she says i think about it.
*end of flashback*
Well as you can see that one didn't go to well, and neither did the next one. After I thought about what she said, we decided that we would wait a while until I did a proper proposal which was supposed to be a month ago. But you know me king of unprepared. So when I was going to do it the other time and when I was getting down on one knee and she asked what I was doing I passed it off as tying my shoe. But I could tell she suspected something because she has been talking about wedding things wily nilly lately. First she went crazy over the royal wedding then when we were walking she dragged me into the wedding store and showed me all the things she would love in her wedding which all happen to be really high up the price range. Then finally she was dropping hints like, “Oh, I heard that Travis is going to propose to Katie this weekend" and” Have you seen Piper engagement ring, its huge and she showed me some wedding plans, Percy. They are having an outdoor wedding it'll be gorgeous. Oh I've always wanted an outdoor wedding." Let's just say it was a rough week. So I did some research, AKA, Aphrodite helped me and I think I have the perfect proposal and the most perfect ring. Now all I need is to invite Annabeth, the most important piece of the puzzle.
"Common Annabeth, I have a surprise for you" I said
"Not now Percy I have to get this done by Monday and I don't have time for this." she said
“well go ahead don't except my invitation for a romantic dinner for TWO at beach de la Percy!"
At that she just looks at me analyzing me checking if I was joking and deciding whether or not she should give in. Finally she gives in
“Alright seaweed Brian just this once you can take me away from my work" she says while I seducively (is that a word) go towards her.
" Are you sure that’s the only time I can take you away from your work" I say as I get really close to her and she puts her arms around my neck and looks up at me. Yep after all these years I finally passed her.
"Well maybe you can take me from work sometimes." she says back equally seducive. Just when I'm about to kiss her she pulls away.
"Nuh uh uh, Seaweed Brain you can kiss me later. I got to get ready now, what should I wear." She says to me
"Something sexy and hot." I say back.
"OK as you wish babe" she says then sways her hips dramatically walking to our room to get ready. I take this as a chance to rush around and get everything ready. Good thing Aphrodite told me to get everything ready beforehand. I make sure I have everything including the ring and riptide just in case. Just when I finish Annabeth walks out wearing a beautiful white sundress with yellow gladiator sandals and her hair in a ponytail with a few strands hanging out and just a hint of makeup. She was never one to wear makeup.
"WOW! Wise girl you look HOT!" Then I hear Aphrodite scolding me in my head and I rephrase what I just said, “I mean you look gorgeous." I stutter out. While she blushes.
"Thnx Seaweed Brain, You ready?" she asks me while I try to snap out of my haze and hold my arm out to her which she gladly takes as we skip out of our apartment cheesily. We get into my black hummer, a gift from my dad and head to the special location I chose for our date. Montauk, a place I took her and some friends from college to a couple years back.
We get there and Annabeth smiles we had some....ugh... good memories here?
I set up the blanket and gesture for Annabeth to sit down. Which she does with a nod and a raise of her eyebrows as I get out the food. My specialty...PB&J, chips, cherry coke, and chocolate covered strawberries which my mom actually made. Let’s just say that I don't make the meals every night. Annabeth just laughs as I set down our food. Oh how I love her laugh. We start to eat and talk.
“Wow, Percy this is fabulous you should become a chef." she says sarcastically as she takes another bite of her sandwich and talks with a mouthful of peanut butter.
"AHA you look like Tyson" I say while laughing with a mouthful of peanut butter also.
"Thank you I take that as a complement." We go silent after that and I take that as my cue to start.
" Annabeth" I start as I pull her to stand up and I get on one knee and she puts her hand over her mouth.
"Will you marry me?" I ask
Then all of a sudden there is a flash of light and I think to myself. I knew there was something I forgot to do.
