Chapter 10

Percy's POV

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate dressing up?

Annabeth and I are going to the fanciest place in town, so I had to wear something nice. My tux made me want to gag.

I hopped into my car and drove down to the restaurant. It was dimly light and had a white table cloth on each table. A candle was placed down with menus to one side. I sat down and started flipping through it.

Oh. My. Gods.

Annabeth was wearing a tight red dress that cut off at her knees. The top didn't have any straps; it was tied around her neck. The bottom of her dress had a cut up to her thigh.

Her hair was pulled back in a clip and she was wearing earrings that went down to her shoulder.

She looked hot.

Annabeth's POV

I came into the room and looked around. I saw Percy sitting at one of the tables, reading a menu. He looked up and did a double take. He started to blush.

He was wearing a blue and green stripped polo shirt, with his messy hair brushed over the tops of his eyes.

Wow. Seaweed Brains clean up nicely.

He got up from the table and pulled out my chair. I smiled at him, "Thank you."

"You look nice." He said. His green eyes sparkled.

"Thanks."

"So you really meant what you said the other day?"

"Yes. I really do love you, Percy."

Percy's POV

"But, why me?" She asked.

Should I make a list?! She's practically perfect in every way. Note to self: Make Annabeth's new nickname Mary Poppins.

"Because I love you. And it doesn't matter what our parents say. We are our own people. We can make whatever decisions we want to. We don't have to be ruled by our parent's differences."

Annabeth's POV

I was abruptly awed by the truth in his words. I think that was the smartest thing I have ever heard him say. The moment just seemed so right, in the flicker of the candle, everyone in the background just faded away until it was only us.

We moved in closer to each other and when our lips touched each other, I knew what love felt like; You would do anything for that person, being in a wonderful bliss, feeling like the only people in the world, feeling so happy, nothing could bring you down.

Wise girl and Seaweed brain. For being the oddest couple, we sure did make the best Romeo and Juliette of our generation.

Yay! It is finally done! Hope you liked it! Plz review!
