I just had a inspiring moment to write about a proposal after watching the film 'The Proposal' (no guesses what it is about.) I hope you like it... there will be more chapters sometime in the near future :) remember to review!
Disclaimer: I don't own the Percy Jackson series. I never have and never will. It is a sad life :'(
Percy's POV
I was panicking.
No, scratch that. I was hyperventilating, pacing, on the verge of vomiting and I thought my head might just explode from all of the ideas that were flying around in it like a pinball being set lose in a pinball machine.
Sorry about that, I speak fast when I am nervous.
'Deep breaths. Inhale. Exhale.' I told myself as I sat down on my bed next to Grover.
"Dude, I can't do this… What if I mess up? What if her mum blasts me into smithereens? What if she says no?" I emphasised the no as I blurted out my list of questions to Grover.
Why was I so nervous you may ask? Well you could ask but you will probably get your head bitten off. Metaphorically of course. But I might get Mrs O'Leary after you if you are too pushy.
I, Perseus Jackson, Son of Poseidon, Saviour of Olympus…twice, former Praetor of Camp Jupiter, leader of Camp Half-Blood and Seaweed Brain am going to propose to Annabeth Chase.
"Look, Perce, you have known each other for ten years. You were best friends for four and a couple for six, I know you argue; everyone knows you argue… but you were meant for each other!"
"Yeah, but she might not want to get married yet! What if she thinks that I'm not the right guy?" I retorted. I placed my head in my hands and gave a heavy sigh.
"Wassup guys?" Said Nico loudly as he strode out from the shadows in the corner of my cabin.
"AHHHH!" both Grover and I screamed in totally manly voices… kinda.
"Nico! What are you doing? You can't just jump out of the shadows whenever you like. I could've been changing!" I shouted at him.
"Wow. Someone's a bit agitated today. Everyone's seen you half naked before anyway." Said Nico giggling slightly at the memory.
"What? Why has everyone seen him naked?" Questioned Grover.
"You weren't there were you? Basically he was *laugh* swimming and at the dive *laugh* start his *laugh* tr-" Nico was cut off by my hand colliding with his mouth.
"You get the picture." I told Grover, but he wasn't listening because he was laughing too much to hear. I released Nico from my grip and started pacing again.
"So dude, are you nervous?" Nico asked rather un-tactfully.
"No… I'm not nervous at all. Would you be nervous if you were about to declare your undying love to your girlfriend of six years in the chance she might marry you?" I said in a very fast and sarcastic voice.
"Percy, calm down." Nico said while putting his hands on my shoulders. "I know Annabeth wants to marry you. I overheard the girls talking about it."
"That's brilliant Nico! I exclaimed. "Wait, how did you hear that?"
"Never mind about the details…" said Nico while blushing slightly. "C'mon Grover let's leave lover boy to his thoughts."
"Ok then, by Perce. Good Luck!" Hollered Grover as him and Nico left the cabin.
I walked over to my bed and sat down, fiddling with the ring box in my jean pocket. 'Ok. I am going to do this.' I thought to myself.
I got up took off my old camp T-shirt and put on a dark blue V-neck then jogged out of my cabin towards cabin 6. I knocked on the wooden door and waited until Malcolm opened it.
"Is Anna-" this time I was cut off by Malcolm who said:
"I'll go and get her for you. Annabeth! Percy is here!" he shouted into the cabin, and in a matter of seconds Annabeth had come running out and had embraced me into a massive hug which nearly knocked me over. She looked beautiful even if she was only in her old denim shorts and a camp T-shirt.
"I will leave you guys to it then." Said Malcolm as he walked back inside.
"Bye!" we both yelled after him.
"Will you come to the beach with me Wise Girl?" I asked.
"Of course I will Seaweed Brain." She replied whilst punching me in the arm lightly.
The walked seemed longer than normal, although that was probably because I was about to propose to the love of my life, but you know, no pressure. When we reached the beach we walked over to our 'special area' just left of the distinctive boulder on the right of the pier.
"Wise girl, I have something to ask you…"
"What is it Percy?"
"Well, we have known each other since we were twelve and been dating for six years. We have fought monsters, Gods, demi-gods and even Titans together and I love you with all my heart. I would never leave you and I really just hope you feel the same way." I got down on one knee.
"Annabeth Chase, will you marry me?" I asked.
I could see her beautiful grey eyes well up threatening to spill over the top anytime soon.
"Percy… You forgot the ring." She said smiling.
"Oh my gods!" I said fumbling around in my pocket feeling for the black box. I opened it revealing the silver ring, the metal twisted to look like vines and which in the middle had a silvery blue coloured gem embedded in it.
"Seaweed Brain! It's perfect, of course I will! Yes!" She exclaimed as she jumped into my arms and I swung her around in circles until we fell over on the sand.
"The only problem is our parents." I said bluntly.
"We will cross that bridge when we come to it." Said Annabeth with a grin. I lean forward to her and kissed her on the forehead.
I hope you enjoyed it! :) If I get enough reviews I will carry on :) Hit the button ;)
Much love Saltwater10 xx
