I go on a date with A son of Poseidon

Annabeth's POV

Percy's really hot, I mean, he has a six pack!! I thought. I shook my head. I wondered where he was taking me. We had been traveling for about a half an hour. Ten minutes later we stopped at a huge restaurant. It was a three story building with windows on the second and third floor. The entire place was lit up and the architecture was fascinating. I wanted to go and study the entire building from head to toe, but I figured we weren't here for that. All Percy said before we entered the palace was "I hope you like Greek." He opened the door for me; Why is he being so gentleman like? I thought to myself.

"Do you have a reservation sir?" the waiter/butler asked. Reservation, this must be a fancy place.

"Jackson," Percy replied and then winked at me. I felt heat surface to my face but quickly sealed it. Why was Percy doing this?

"Oh, Mr. Jackson, right this way sir." Why did the Butler suddenly change in mood? "Our best table right here," the butler waved us over. We were on the balcony of the third story. Percy pulled my chair out for me and after I had seated took his.

"Sooo, how is it so far?" he questioned. It took me awhile to answer. It was all so amazing. The tiles for the floor were painted with images of the old stories of the gods and demigods. I saw a picture of Hercules battling the Nemean Lion. And another of Jason with the Golden Fleece. The ceiling had just one huge portrait of every god and minor god that existed. It was too much to take in.

"It- It's amazing! Percy, how did you find such a place?" I asked with much enthusiasm.

"I was tipped off, this is the restaurant specifically for demigods, gods, you name it," he boasted. He had a huge grin on his face, the look of success. "I figured I'd take you somewhere you deserve."

"Percy, I do not deserve this," I responded.

"I think you do." I felt a tear run down my face. This was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. Before I knew it, I was out of my chair, across the table, and hugging Percy half to death. I heard a crack. Oh my gods, I completely forgot about his broken rib. "Ow, geeze Wise Girl, do you want to break more ribs?" He was grabbing his side now.

"I'm so sorry Percy," I felt another tear run down my check. He did something I didn't expect. He got out of his seat, wiped the tear off my face, and hugged me. For some reason, I enjoyed being this close to him.

"It's ok Annabeth, there's nothing to be sorry about." The Butler suddenly appeared and stood silently behind us. Why do things like this always to us. We broke apart and took our seats. We both had water and the traditional Greek Salad. He showed off by continually refilling his glass by manipulating the water. Show off!! We both ordered spaghetti Bolognese(A/N The name explains itself)and dug in. For some reason, I had a hard time keeping my eyes off of Percy, I don't know why though.

Once we finished our exquisite meal, he asked me if would like desert, which by asked he bought me the biggest thing, well… to share. He ordered a triple chocolate sundae with two cherries. The thing literally weighed a pound. We both dug in; he ate more than me but that didn't matter. I just wondered how he would pay for this. We had an unusually nice time together, like we were meant to be together; we talked and laughed a lot.

When the butler finally brought us the check, Percy looked at it and passed it to me and I almost screamed at the price. 300 drachmas or 500 dollars the ticket read. "PERCY!!!" he immediately hushed me. "Percy?" I asked in a smaller voice. "How are we going to pay for this?"

"Like this," he replied and pulled out his wallet. He grabbed five one-hundred dollar bills and placed them on the tab. Then he pulled another fifty for the tip. I just sat there in awe as he did this. How did he get this kind of money? I asked myself. The meal couldn't have been that expensive. I spoke too soon.

Five waiters and waitresses came out with a three foot high cake with sixteen candles and had Happy Birthday Annabeth! across the center. I then realized what day it was, my birthday. I completely forgot because I had been with Percy for the past few months. "Happy Birthday Wise Girl," he teased. Then the entire room sang happy birthday to me. My face felt like it was on fire.

After that immense display of embarrassment, I blew out the candles and cut the first piece of the cake, then Percy. We silently ate our cake until we were both done, then Percy pulled something out of his jacket pocket, a small, white box. Oh no, he got me a present. I couldn't hold back a giggle and grin(since when do I do that) as he came beside me. I was handed the box, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISE GIRL!!!" he shouted so the entire building could hear, which didn't help.

I opened the box to find a silver/platinum necklace with a beautifully designed owl on it. I gasped. "Percy, you shouldn't have, it's beautiful," I could feel tears welding up inside me, just waiting to burst out, and I let them. I got up and hugged him fiercely, not as hard as earlier, but still. By the time we broke apart, his polo was soaking wet. He put his hand over the wet stain and it dried up.

"Did you actually think I was going to forget your birthday and not get you something?" he inquired. I just stood there dumbstruck. Even if forgot my own birthday, and he'd been knocked out for the past few months and he still remembered. He must really care about me do buy me something this amazing, I thought to myself.

"He really does like you, you know," a mysterious voice called.

Aphrodite? I asked.

"Oops, I've been busted, but still, Percy cares about you more than you know." After that I heard Aphrodite's voice no more. Percy reached around my neck and attached the necklace.

As we left I instinctively held his hand. It was the least I could do, and besides, it felt nice, to be close to him like this, even after we had started to drive towards the movie theater. As he drove, I got lost in his sea-green eyes, I don't know how I did it though, it was dark.

When we reached the theater I still hadn't let go of his hand. "Excuse me, two adult tickets for Defiance please?" Percy asked. He looked at me and winked. His voice keeps calling me back like a siren. It's so pleasing to me. Unfortunately, he had to let go my hand my pay for the tickets but as soon as he finished, he grabbed mine and held on to it.

"Enjoy the show," the clerk annoyingly spat. I could tell she didn't enjoy her job, either that or she was jealous that she didn't have someone to take to the movies with her. We walked past the concessions since we had that amazing meal and took our seats. It was 8:45 p.m. so we had some time before the movie started. I wonder If I'm falling in love with him? I asked myself as I again gazed at him. This time, he did the same. The movie suddenly started. Whoa, we had been looking at each other for that long? I amazed myself.

The movie was very good, though I did cry at a few parts. When I did though, he put his arm around me to comfort me, which I enjoyed. Before I realized it, I was snuggled next to him with my head against his chest and his arms around me. We were acting like a normal couple, which was weird because we weren't a couple.
