-Hey it's me, more Percabeth. Oh and I do not own PJO. -
Annabeth's POV:
We walked out of his apartment and made our way to street level. There is a little Italian restaurant across the street from Madison Square Garden. 33rd street between 7th and 8th avenue, Percy told the cab driver. The food there was awesome! We shared a tomato and basil pizza, as well as their famous meatballs. Sooo good!
After lunch we walked up past time square a couple blocks away, and made our way to central park for the day. I still was not a custom to the 'New York life'. But I loved it here. Percy was here. Once at central park we walked over to the, one of many, rock formations and set down. A yoga class was in session just underneath us.
Percy had his face trained on mine when I turned around. He looked so intense, it made me excited and a little scared. Honestly the love he shows sometimes I have never seen in anyone else, towards me to be clear. I am so used to things not being what they seem or the things that ground me are taken from me. I am never at rest. I was now intense and our stare was almost a contest when he leaned in. His steady nature grounded me from my constant worries. So I tried to relax.
I rested my head on his shoulder and basked in the sun. Maybe this would be the most relaxed I'll ever be? Probably. A bird flew by our heads and landed by our feet. It found some fries someone left. More birds landed among the first, then preceding to a homeless man under the tree near by. A couple joggers jogged by. I then noticed a group of people who look to be on lunch break. How it would be to never have to worry about extreme danger? I thought being normal seemed so easy and boring. I pondered this idea when I felt Percy move from under me.
''No, stay there'', he said while getting up.
''Why, seaweed brain?'', I asked while squinting from the sun light.
''It's perfect, hold on I want to take picture''.
''uuhgh, okay. Seriously I don't think my face is picture ready''.
''Take it back!'', he said like a young child.
I think I just looked confused.
''Take it back right now Annabeth Chase, your face is always picture ready!''.
I think I smiled for the picture, but I'm not really sure. It was so bright out side. Then I felt him pick me up and swing me around like it was our wedding day. I was laughing really hard, and Percy had this look on his face that said 'nothing can be better than this'. I was wondering how I can see his face so clear but can hardly tell who walks by me. Maybe this is what it is like to be in love?
