Hey guys, I just got this idea and really wanted to publish it. It isn't going to be long, maybe six chapters? Maybe less, or more. A lot of this will be in Thalia's point of view, if you'd like me to use different POVs let me know, and I'll try to incorporate it. Multiple pairings!
Disclaimer: I don't own it!
Annabeth's POV
Thalia and I were walking down 33rd St. where her apartment was located. Terribly close to the Empire State building, but we wanted to be nearby if there was an emergency in Olympus. With shopping bags in hand, and sipping Starbucks, we sauntered by anyone, and everyone.
Thalia hand changed her style a bit; it was adapted to her lifestyle. She still straightened her raven hair, and wore eyeliner. Though a little less than before, it was still present. She was wearing a loose black and white striped shirt, black skinny jeans, with a shiny gold satchel slung across her body. Her gold combat boots matched, I swear she had those things in every color.
I was wearing an oatmeal colored, Pinnacle vest, with a teal long sleeved shirt underneath. My trusty gray jeans and black, cone healed booties.
"Do you know if Percy's ever going to propose? I asked chewing my lip.
We'd been dating seriously for a long time, and he's been dropping hints three times a day. I mean seriously, just do it!
Thalia practically choked on her coffee as she stumbled. She nearly missed a puddle, but sidestepped it quickly.
"Who said anything about proposals? " Thalia said wide eyed.
"Percy's been dropping hints like mad, and we've been together so long!" I justified, talking over the loud noise of New York.
"I get what you're saying, but things happen in their own time." Thalia said, trying to give me advice.
"I know I just..." I trailed off not knowing what to say.
After a while of walking in comfortable silence I said, "Is Nico home?"
Thalia and Nico now shared an apartment after dating for a while. He just moved into her apartment around two months ago, so it was still a new thing.
"He should be do you want to come in?" She questioned.
"It's okay; I really should be getting home. Percy's taking me out for dinner later, much later." I said as we neared the door to her apartment building.
"Why so late?" Thalia asked.
"It's probably the only time he could get a reservation." I laughed quietly.
"That's Percy for you, see you later Annabeth." She chuckled, walking inside.
"Bye." I said, walking off.
Sure enough, it began to rain. I hailed a taxi quickly, with my mad New Yorker skills.
"50 West 34th Street." I said to the driver.
I got home quickly and began to dress for the black tie restaurant. I choose a simple cobalt blue, Alice + Olivia, One-Shoulder, long drape dress. I did my make-up and hair, while I waited. Little did I know I would get my wish tonight.
Thalia's POV
I was awakened by the sound of my horribly loud, obnoxious, ringtone. I rolled over on my side and looked at my alarm clock, 1:07. I had only been asleep for about two hours. It didn't help that I'm a light sleeper.
"Who in Hades name would be calling you now?" Nico muttered, unwrapping his arm from around my waist.
I grunted and squinted at the intolerably, bright screen and saw Annabeth's smiling face over her name that had a little smiley face next to it. Annabeth! :D, it read.
Dazed, I pressed the green accept button.
"Hello?" I said groggily.
"Thals! Guess what?" Annabeth screeched into the phone.
I grimaced and held the phone further away from my ear.
"I'm so not in the mood to guess right now, so please, just tell me." I said sleepily.
"I'm engaged!" She squealed.
I sat up ramrod straight.
"What?" I said completely alert, and not believing a word she said.
"He finally proposed!" She cried.
"Oh my gods!" I yelled. I then proceeded to jump out of bed and do our signature happy dance.
"What the fuck is going on?" Nico murmured into his pillow.
"Annabeth's engaged!" I informed him.
"To who?" He questioned, not fully awake yet.
"Percy you idiot." I said scowling.
"Of course, now if you don't mind, I'm going to go back to sleep." He said, repositioning himself.
"Okay, now we need to start planning. What season? What colors? Will you be my maid of honor?" She rambled off quickly.
"Annabeth, slow down, we'll talk about this tomorrow. Oh, and of course I'll be your maid of honor." I said exasperated.
"Okay, now I need to get back to my fiancé." She giggled, and exaggerated the fiancé.
"Bye." I said, and then hung up.
I climbed back under the covers and snuggled up to Nico. He smiled and kissed my head acknowledging that I was there.
"Love you."
"Not as much as I love you." He said with finality.
I went to sleep in a blissful state, with those words being the last I heard.
Read and Review! The first chapter is kind of short, I was thinking about making it the prologue, but it's too long to be a prologue. Tell me your favorite line, and beverage. Thanks for reading!
