Rosemarie's Point of View
Tonight is Christmas Eve! Yesterday, Aphrodite came down and said Merry Christmas, since she wouldn't be here on Christmas! Percy and I are laying down on my bed in my cabin. My head was using his chest as pillow, with my left hand resting next to my head. His hands wrapped around my waist. We were wearing matching Cookie Monster PJs. Mine was a loose t-shirt that said 'One Tough Cookie' with the Cookie Monster on it. Then blue shorts with white polka-dots on them. His shirt said 'Me Like Crumbs In The Bed' and had the cookie monster eating a cookie. His ants were navy blue with cookie monster and cookie pattern. (Pics on Profile)
"You know, they say Santa only comes when your asleep" He reminded me. I cracked a smile.
"I know. But this moment is so perfect, I don't want it to end." He tapped his chin, pretending to think.
"Fair point... But don't you want presents?"
"Well... You know, Percy, they say Christmas is about giving. Not receiving." I quoted him.
"Aren't you tired?" He asked. As if on cue, I yawned. "I'll take that as a yes." He pulled my white comforter over us. I looked into his beautiful sea green eyes. He reached over to turn off my lamp that was the only light source besides the moonlight. "Goodnight. I love you." He told me.
"I love you, too." I whispered as I drifted into sleep.
Christmas Day
I woke up to see a snow covered outside. Then it hit me. It's Christmas! I shot straight up in bed, waking up Percy in the process.
"Get up, sleepy head!" I told him. He groaned. I grabbed my pillow and smacked his face. "It's Christmas, Seaweed Brain!" That woke him up. He shot up straight like I did.
"Let's go!" He grabbed my hand and led me to the living room and sat us down next to the fireplace. Annabeth, Andy, Emmett, and Rachel were already there.
"It took you guys long enough!" Emmett boomed.
"Sorry!" Percy said. Annabeth clasped her hands together.
"Time for presents!" She exclaimed. I got a MacBook (Annabeth!), a teddy bear (From my Emmy Bear!), black rose earings (Andy and Nico collaboration!). Then finally Percy gave me his present. It was in a small, velvety black box. I flipped it open, and gasped. It was an engagement ring. It's band was 10k White Gold. The ring had three stones. Two diamonds bordering a blue diamond. (Pic on Profile) I was speechless. I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I said the only thing that I could. What I wanted to say.
"Yes." I whispered. "Yes!" I said louder. I threw my arms around him. "A thousand times yes." I told him.
"She said yes." Was all he could say. Annabeth squealed. He pulled into a gentle kiss. When he pulled away, he wiped away a tear that was rolling down my cheek. Emmett cheered.
"Finally!" Rachel exclaimed. I couldn't really register what was happening. All I could think was I was going to be with the one I love forever. "Hey, we should get dressed. It's already 11:05." Why did she have to remind us? I sighed.
"Come on." Percy pulled me along to my room. Or was it our room? Our room sounds better. I put on a burgundy long sleeved shirt tucked into my belt. The belt was holding my white lacy skirt that ended about an inch above my knees. I had black stockings and burgundy ankle high boots. Soon we were out to see Sally. Percy's mom was so sweet. We drove out to Manhattan and knocked on Sally's door. Instead, Paul answered. I had always teased Percy about thinking his name was Paul Blowfish.
"Oh hey, Percy! Hey Rose! Merry Christmas!" Paul and Percy shared a hug. Then I hugged him too.
"Paul who's a the door-" Sally saw Percy. "Oh Percy! Merry Christmas!" She rushed to hug him. "And you, too, Rose." She said when she hugged me.
"Merry Christmas, Sally." I said.
"Come in, you guys!" She said, waving us in. Once we were inside, comfortably seated on the couch, Percy spoke up.
"Mom, we have something to tell you." He sounded nervous.
"What is it, Percy?" She asked.
"Um..." I said. "Percy proposed." I stated lifting my left hand up. Their eyes went the size of saucers. Sally smiled.
"Oh my goodness! Your getting married!" Sally exclaimed. "I'm so happy for you!" She came and enveloped me in a hug. "Can I see the ring again?" She asked when she pulled back. I lifted my left my left hand again. "It's so amazing! Did you pick this out by yourself Percy?" Percy nodded.
"It's perfect isn't it?" I asked, admiring my ring. She nodded.
"It's truly the perfect fit." She confirmed.
"There's just one problem." We all looked at Percy in confusion. "How the Hades are we going to tell your dad?" My eyes widened.
"Bloody Hell." I stated
AN: SURPRISE! He proposed! Can you guess where the quote 'Bloody Hell' is from? VOTE! Voting ends on May 20th! REMEMBER!
