Percy's POV

I grabbed my winter coat and left the bedroom, Annabeth was already standing there waiting for me. Her curly blonde hair was in a loose pony tail and her gray eyes sparkled.

"Come on Seaweed Brain, you're so slow" she teased as she pecked me on the lips.


It was snowing lightly as we walked outside with our hands intertwined. People rushed by us with shopping bags, most likely trying to make it home before dinner; cars were slowly making their way through the crowded streets of New York City; but none of this mattered to me, I felt so carefree walking through the snow laden streets of New York with Annabeth. My Annabeth. I turned my head and gazed at her; I silently wondered how I ever managed to get a girlfriend that was so beautiful.

"Are you even listening to me?" she demanded, jarring me from my thoughts.

"Yeah" I replied as we crossed the street.

"So what do you think?"

"About what?"

She punched me playfully in the arm, "You're a bad liar, did you know that?" she said smirking.

As I followed her into the dimly light restaurant, we were greeted by a few waiters. As we waited to be seated, I noticed that the walls were adorned with Christmas lights and boughs of holly; I could hear Jingle Bells playing softly.

We hung our jackets on the backs of our chairs and for the first time tonight I was actually able to see what she was wearing; [Revising] She looked absolutely amazing.

"Percy what are you looking at?" she asked, blushing.

I blushed back and replied, "Oh, nothing."

After we sat down Annabeth asked, "What are you going to order?"

"Probably a tenderloin steak " (A/N I hope this is expensive, I have no idea what type of steak is pricey.)

"You just had to choose the most expensive item on the menu didn't you? You're such a Seaweed brain" she quipped.

"It's ok I'm the one paying."

"Does that mean I can order the most expensive things I can find even if I can't finish them?" she teased.

"Uh..."

"It's ok, don't worry I wouldn't do something that mean to you" she laughed.

Shortly afterwards a bubbly waitress came to take our orders.

"How may I help you?"

"I'd like the grilled lemon pepper salmon please."

"And what can I get for you sir?"

"I'd like a tenderloin steak."

"Alrighty, and what would you two like to drink?"

"Two glasses of water please" I replied.

While we waited for our food, we just casually chat and I realized that I was only half-paying attention to the conversation. I found myself staring into her eyes. She leaned in and our lips brushed. Just then, the waitress came back with our food. I quickly pulled back, blushing furiously. I looked up and noticed that Annabeth's face had also turned a deep shade of crimson.

As soon as the waitress left I immediately began to saw away at the steak. I could hear Annabeth giggling as I continued to cut furiously without making any progress. [revising transition]

"Your brain is full of kelp" she proclaimed as she finished cutting my steak into manageable pieces.

"There's a reason that they gave you a different knife with your food" she said as she dangled the knife in between her fingers in front of me, still giggling.

I looked at the knife that she was holding; it had a serrated edge. Oops. [revising]


It was dark out by the time we got back to my apartment. We changed into more comfortable clothing and sat down on the couch together, my left arm was wrapped around her shoulder.

"Let's watch a movie" Annabeth suggested.

"Which one? You can pick" I offered.

"Are you sure, do you promise you'll watch it?"

"Yeah" I replied, her movie choice can't possibly be that bad right?

"How about, The History of the Eiffel Tower: A Full Tour?" she asked. I groaned.

"Just messing with ya Seaweed Brain, hmmm, how about the Clash of the Titans?" (A/N It was the only recent Greek Mythology movie I could find.)

I retrieved the disk and inserted it into the DVD player and sat back down next to Annabeth. I wrapped my arms around her as she laid down on my chest. As we watched the movie, I played with her beautiful blonde hair, running it through my hands and twirling it around my index finger. She pointed out every single factual error in the movie, and would exclaim every few minutes, "That's wrong!" or "No!" and then she would go on to give a lengthy explanation about what it should have been. I didn't mind though, all that mattered to me was that the most beautiful girl in the world was lying here in my arms. After a little while I noticed that she had fallen asleep in my arms. I contemplated carrying her to bed, but I decided against it. I reached for the remote to turn off the TV and drifted off to sleep with a smile on my face.
