Later that afternoon, I wanted to make sure that Percy's number was real. I wanted to see if it was a fake number or not. I typed his number into my BlackBerry and hit the call button.

"Hello?" his raspy voice answered.

"Percy... is that you?" I asked, nervously.

"Yeah. Annabeth?" he laughed. "You actually called me"

"Uh, yeah. But we got to be quiet because my fiance doesn't know that I called you. Unfortunately, Justin doesn't want me to talk to you" I told him.

Percy chuckled. "What? Is he jealous or something? That would be funny. Does he know that we used to go out?"

"No..." I answered. "No, he doesn't. I think Justin would-"

"Justin would what?" my fiance asked behind me.

I jumped up and held the phone to my ear. "Uh...Thalia, I have to call you back"

Percy got the plan. "Okay, text you later" then he hung up.

"That was Thalia?" Justin asked.

I slipped my phone into my backpocket. "Yeah..."

"That's funny. Because I just got off the phone with Thalia"

My eyes widened and looked down. "Justin, I-"

"I pacifically told you not to call that boy!" he yelled at me.

I backed up. "Justin, you're not my father. I can do whatever I want to. I can call whoever I want to. You're not the boss of me"

"Oh, really? You're living in my house, I gave you a car, I gave you food-"

I cut him off. "Excuse me! Who gets the food? I do! Not you! All you do is do your job!"

Justin rolled his eyes. "But I give you money"

"I get my own money from my job. And my job doesn't take up all my time, doesn't it? I still cook dinner, I do the laundry, I clean up the house. But look who doesn't bother to help me? You!" I shouted.

I hated when we had these fights. Especially when he goes into this stage. Yelling about the money and house. I swear, Justin sometimes act like that's all that matters.

"Whatever, I'll be in my office. I have some business calls I have to answer" Justin then walked away.

I scoffed. "Like always"

I slipped my phone out of my backpocket and texted Percy... "Sorry, Justin was just having a hissy fit again, lol"

A couple seconds later, I got a message. "It's fine. I wanted to ask if you wanted to hang out tonight. I mean, it's been years so I thought maybe, I don't know. You don't have to"

I laughed and text back. "Sure, I love to. Are you sure you're wife won't mind?"

"What? Oh, you mean Hailey. Yeah, I'm sure she'll mind. She doesn't control me" Percy replied.

"Ha-ha. Okay, cool. See you tonight around..."

"Seven. We'll meet at the coffee shop. Good?" he asked.

I replied, "Amazing. TTYL, Percy"

"U too" then we stopped our conversation.

I put his number in my phone and took a picture of him from my computer. Yes, I still had one picture of us on my computer. It was my favorite. We were at the beach, his arms wrapped around me and my arms around his neck. His mom took it of us. He invited me to go to the beach with them and of course, I said yes. I loved that picture. It reminded me of him, whenever I thought about him.

Later that night around six'thirty, I put on some dark blue jeans and a tee shirt. It was my favorite tee shirt. It had a owl in the front and a trident in the back. I remember this t-shirt. Poseidon made it for me, for my eighteenth birthday. I'm guessing Percy probably bugged the crap out of him to make it.

I grabbed my purse and my black hoodie. I walked out of my house and went down the road. I made my way to the coffee shop and noticed Percy was already there. He was wearing jeans and light-blue dress shirt. But like always, Seaweed Brain had the sleeves pulled up. I laughed and walked inside the shop.

"You do the same thing, Seaweed Brain" I smiled.

He just grinned. "Well, I'll always be the son of Poseidon"

"So, what are we doing tonight?" I asked.

"I thought maybe we could something to eat and take a walk in the park. Catch up on our lives" Percy said, sitting down at a table.

I sat in front of him and grabbed a menu. "I like it"

"You better"

After we ordered, we began talking about our past. I had so many questions.

"Where did you meet Hailey?" I asked.

Percy clapped his hands together. "Um, we met in college. I was studying-oh, I forgot- but we met in sophmore year. We went on dates, fell in love, I asked her to marry me at the graduation party. We were married for about a year and she had Alyssa. After that, we both sighed divorce papers and I wasn't married to her anymore"

"Are you dating?" I asked.

"No, she's dating this jerk. I mean, Alyssa doesn't like him. That's why she's always with me. She says he's mean to her. Calls her a brat" Percy answered.

"Aww... poor thing"

"What about you?" Percy asked as the waitress placed our food on the table.

I took a bite out of my cheeseburger. "I met Justin three years ago. Like you, we went on dates and he asked me to marry him a couple months ago. I'm getting married to him in three months and we'll happily be in love" I said, sarcastically.

He laughed. "What were you saying earlier? About him having a hissy fit?" he asked, taking a bite of his hamburger.

"Justin can get mad easily about stupid things. Every fight he brings up money and the house saying that he works a living for these items. It's like I work also but I clean the house, do the laundry, and cook dinner. I still have time for my family and my friends"

"Do you love him?" Percy asked, eating a fry.

"Yes, but sometimes love just doesn't really go well. I mean, he's good to me and my family... but he looks at other girls and always has time for his buddies but never time for me" I answered. "I used to it. The thing is, Justin never acted like that while we were dating. It's like getting married changes a person"

"It changed me. I'm not the stupid, idiotic boy I was years ago" Percy laughed.

"Really? Cause I still see a idiotic boy under those green eyes of yours" I stuck my finger in ketchup and placed it on top of his nose.

His mouth dropped and he grabbed a napkin, wiping it off. I was laughing at his facial expression. Percy started laughing along with me.

"I'm glad you came, Wise Girl" he told me.

I smiled. "I'm glad I'm here"

Percy grinned and started eating more of his burger. Soon enough, we were catching up and eating our burgers. After we finished, Percy paid for our dinner (even though, I wanted to buy mine, he demanded he bought it) and we started walking towards the park.

"Why the park?" I asked.

"Just want to spend time with my old friend" he grinned.

I looked at him and smiled, hitting him in the shoulder. He just laughed and we started walking in the park. It was so peaceful and the moon's reflection just made it more peaceful. I loved it here. I love Manhattan.

"How's your mom?" I questioned, staring at the sky.

Percy cleared his throat."She's doing great. She might be expecting a baby. I may be getting a little sister"

"Aww! How good you are with Alyssa, you'll be a great big brother" I laughed.

His eyebrows furrowed. "Hopefully, my sister doesn't have to go what Alyssa had to go through. Knowing her parents are spilting up isn't easy. She cried in my lap before because she missed mommy. But Hailey is always getting drunk and I never liked it."

"Poor thing" I mumbled.

"Yeah. Alyssa told me she saw mommy drinking from a glass shaped weird. I was devastated when my own daughter told me that. Hailey wants custody of Alyssa but I'm trying to get Alyssa. I take care of her most of the time. The only time Hailey wants her is trying to impress a guy" Percy explained.

"But she doesn't have a boyfriend?" I asked.

"Yeah, but that doesn't stop her"

"Good gods" I laughed.

"Yeah..." Percy agreed.

I looked at Seaweed Brain and I saw a man. Not the boy that was scared to kiss me while we were dating, I saw a man that wasn't scared to do anything. I mean, he's a father now. I think that's the scariest thing on earth.

"What?" he asked, looking over at me.

I stared into his green orbs. "Nothing. I just think you're a good dad"

"I sure hope so" Percy laughed.

I smiled and we kept walking. I didn't notice but it was now ten o'clock at night. We told each other bye, hugged, and went our seperate ways. When I got home, the lights were off. I made my way to the kitchen and opened the fridge to get me a Sprite. Then the lights flickered on and I jumped. The can dropped from my hands, exploding on the floor.

I cursed and grabbed the can, putting it in the sink. "What is your problem? Don't scare me like that"

Justin leaned against the wall. "You blew me off"

"What are you talking-" then I remembered we had a date tonight. "Oh my gods, Justin I'm sorry. I was hanging out with an old friend"

"That Percy dude?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Why does it matter to you?" I questioned. "I'm going to bed"

I tried to make my way out of the room but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back. His fingers gripped my arm too tight and I winced.

"Ow!" I said, getting out of his grip.

"What did I tell you about hanging out with him?" Justin asked, raising his voice.

"Why are you jealous? I'm not going out with him. We're just catching up after so many years" I told him.

"That better be it" Justin growled.

I scoffed. "Jerk..." then I made my way to the bedroom.

Whoa, long chapter!

Why do you think Justin is acting like the way he is? What's going to happen with Percy and Annabeth? Percy and Alyssa (his daughter)? Do you think Annabeth and Justin are made for each other?
