Please give me feedback on how I did, because I would always like to get better I don't own the characters, Rick Does.
On with the story:
Here we are living in Rome. I had seen the Roman housing and I was granted eligible to live there after everything I had done for Rome.I have been with Annabeth for 5 years. I may be young to marry at only 21, but I think she is the right one. it just seemed right when we first got together after the Titan War and it seems right now. So, I decided today will be the day, that I marry my girlfriend Annabeth Chase.
I took all this time just thinking about when,where, and how I would ask her, but I had finally made my decision. To wing it. I may have some brains, but I might as well take advantage of her calling me seaweed brain and have fun with it, but of course I'll have some minor planning. Her smart brains had gotten to me over the years and I used them,because what is better then adopting a trait from your girlfriend.
We may be "retired demigods", but we still got to have fun with it. We aren't to the point where we can't walk or anything. We do spar and fight monsters at times. I am still on call for help, if the Roman camp, Camp Jupiter needs it.
I decided to go to Frank, as he had just proposed to Hazel a few months ago and he wasn't that bad of a guy. He told me to get a ring that has features she likes, like the color of my eyes. I just nodded my head, so he couldn't understand how much on the money he really was.
I went into town and went to the store with rings. You see, I could get everything I want if I just simply asked, because they believe I am the "hero" of the Roman demigods, even though I honestly think it is Jason. He did take the final blow to beat Gaea after all, but everyone believes the opposite for the one reason that I weakened Gaea first. I believe that Mother Earth doesn't weaken, she just gets defeated or not.
Anyways,I was the big hero of the Roman demigods walking into a ring shop near San Francisco Bay, when I noticed an old friend of mine at the cash register. Not any other person then Connor Stoll, with his brother, Travis working beside him. They had been complete pranksters and they couldn't keep a secret, which wasn't what I wanted. I wanted this to be a special day and a surprise at that, but what other choice would I have? It was to obvious what I am hear for. So, I might as well tell them right away and avoid all the trouble of having the Stoll brothers on my tail all week.I went up to Connor, who was working at the cash register and said, "Hey, how goes it?"
"Fine dude,making some money to prank some people at camp. I see you are in here, so I'm guessing it is for Annabeth?" Connor said.
"Yeah, by any chance do you have a ring, you think she would like?" I asked.
"Of course, this one is sea green and I figured she likes your eyes as she does stare at them all the time." He said
It was the perfect ring, no doubt about it. So, i paid the $800 and went home. I got the greetings from all the Romans as I walked by. Annabeth is supposed to be done with the Knife lessons she taught in about an hour. She was so good with the knife, that she was offered a job to teach the kids at camp. Her fatal flaw seemed to make her accept. She was way to proud, to say no, even though we could get, just about anything we wanted, including money, but either way I am still proud of her.
So, I got a ring,I got the plan to wing it,and now all I need to do is text her, but where to go? Somewhere with water, why not the Tiber! We could meet on the bench there. I can just say I wanted to see the water, and ask her to marry me or not. Most guys think it would be do or die, but it was quite obvious that we would get married and if she said the two letter word, it would be hard all over, whether I like it or not. Which to tell you the truth, I don't like living with everyone watching my every move, or so it seems.
So, I got out my phone and texted Annabeth "Meet at the Tiber, see u in a few. Your Seaweed Brain." I got to the bench and thought about what I was about to do. It is everything I have dreamed for. What is better, then marrying the first and only girl I have fallen for? Completely nothing! It makes the most sense in the world, to me at least. I got a text from Annabeth that read," Walking now, be there in 5.
I saw a beautiful girl, which game to be my girlfriend, walking down the stone steps and sitting down beside me on the bench.
She asked, "So, why come to the Tiber?"
"I wanted to see the water and be with my beautiful girlfriend, of course."
Whoever knew you could be so romantic.
I would just need to find the right time to ask, but I think now is a good time. I put my hand in hers and made sure the ring was still in my pocket, which it was. I ask her how her day was. She said, "The usual." Which I may hear all the time, but it is fine with me, just for her to know that I care. As we stare eyes in eyes, I get down on one knee and glance to find her eyes shining like a goddess's and ask the magical words. "Will you marry me." She squealed "Yes!" Right away, which I had never thought would ever come out of her mouth. I know I have made the correct decision. I kiss her softly, but passionately and we walk hand in hand, now fully completed. The girl I love is mine and not any other lucky guy's and I wouldn't have it any other way.
