Let me start with apologies: I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY!
It's at this time that I've decided to get off my butt (or onto it, if you wanna be specific) and start writing this epilogue.
And, another thing: I saw the new PJO movie last night! I have to say, it wasn't horrible, but it could have been better. There was no Clarisse but Zeus looked suspiciously like Obi-Wan Kanobi.
Odd.
(Oh, and another thing. I was asked by an anonymous reviewer (sorry but I don't feel like getting on my email to check :P) to make this a lemon. Um, no, thanks. 1) I'm not old enough and 2) …I have no clue how to do that. Sorry!)
But, anyway, I'm sorry for the wait and I love you all so…tah-dah!!
*Annabeth's POV*
Today was the day; today…I was getting married.
I mused over the thought as I lay next to Percy, his arms wrapped protectively around my bare waist from behind. Last night, he and I went back to my apartment and made love for…luck, I suppose it would be. I was told by my old friend and old roommate that I shouldn't do that (or him) before my wedding night because it was bad luck, apparently.
I didn't believe that; neither did he, apparently.
I gripped his wrist lightly and put his hand onto his hip, slipping silently out of bed. I pulled on my jeans and a tank top until it was pulled off by hands that came from behind me.
"What are you doing?" Percy asked, his lips grazing my ear.
I smiled slightly. "I have to go," I said, turning around to steal my shirt back; he pulled it away and kissed my neck.
"Don't go," he pleaded.
I sighed. "I have to."
He kissed my neck. "Please," he whispered, his warm breath washing over me.
I closed my eyes, my breath becoming uneven. I leaned my head against his chest. "I'm sorry."
I felt him lean down and kiss the top of my head. "Well," he muttered, his lips brushing across my hair. "Later tonight, of course…." He grinned at himself as he trailed off.
I chuckled. "Yes, yes, tonight. Now," I backed up and grabbed my shirt. "I have to go." I slipped my tank top on and kissed him. He refused to let me go after that. His tongue slid across my bottom lip, begging for entrance. I figured it was easier to have his way.
His tongue explored my mouth and my arms reached around his neck; he nibbled on my bottom lip.
"Mmm!" I exclaimed. "Mmm. I have to go." I realized, pushing back. I pointed at him playfully. "You can wait."
Percy stuck his tongue out at me. "I don't know if I can, though."
I smiled. "I'm sure you will." I grabbed my coat and opened the door to leave. "Bye!" I called back and walked out of the apartment.
…And then I walked back in.
"What am I doing?" I asked myself. I walked into my room. "This is my apartment…," I said.
Percy laughed. "I was wondering why you were leaving your own house."
I picked up a pair of jeans. "Here, I'm pretty sure these are yours."
He slipped them on along with a tee-shirt. "Bye," Percy whispered against my lips as he turned to leave.
"It won't work!" I called to him as he opened the door.
"I'm sure it will!" he called back, closing the door.
I stood there for a second, thinking about how I had to go to my maid-of-honor's house to get my dress, but…it worked.
It is what Percy always does. He always has to have his way, so, he tries to play hard-to-get and it always works.
"Dammit," I muttered as I opened the door and, as always, Percy was standing against the wall across from my door. "Come here," I muttered.
Percy grinned. "Now, I'm not gonna get in the mood with that tone," he teased.
"Oh, shut up," I muttered, pulling his shirt to pull him closer as we backed up into the apartment.
I sighed. Why did it have to work? Why?
"I hate you," I muttered to the an next to me.
He chuckled. "You know you don't."
"Yeah, whatever. I have to go. For real this time." I got up and pulled on my sweatpants and a tee-shirt.
"Alright, alright," Percy muttered, putting on his clothes as well.
We walked out into the hallway and then out into the street.
I kissed him quickly. "Bye," I said, walking towards my car.
"Bye!" Percy called, walking toward his, both of us preparing physically and mentally for the event about to happen later that day -- the marriage of us both.
Well, that's it =) I hope you guys liked it. I'm sorry it's so short..... But, this is the end of this story!! Yay! I finished!
=) Love you all!
