Anyway, here ya go:
Annabeth had woken early on habit, only to look around the room and remember she was on vacation. She got up nevertheless and walked to the balcony, opening the doors and stepping out. Her hotel room faced the ocean and right now it had a pinkish glow that was slowly turning orange as the sun started rising. It was breathtaking. She looked farther down from her second floor room and saw another figure. A silhouette against the rising sun. It was walking along the beach, and as it drew nearer she saw him better. From her, not so far, distance she could make out his raven black hair, his well-built figure and even more surprisingly his bright green eyes. He was wearing shorts and a button down shirt which was unbuttoned at the top revealing his muscular tan skin. She was fascinated by him. Not just his physical aspects but him in general. He gave off a vibe. He yawned and she could tell he was sleepy, yet he still sat down on the water's edge to watch as the sun rose. She shifted her attention to the sun, which seemed just as beautiful and mysterious as him.
Percy was tired and wanted to sleep very badly. But he hauled himself off his bed and walked out of the hotel and onto the beach. He walked along the shore watching the sunrise. He didn't want to miss it, it was his first day of vacation and he wanted to start it off with the sunrise. Plus his mom had told him to watch a sunrise, something about it being breathtaking and special. She was right, the slowly rising sun was causing a warm glow in the sky which gave a feeling of warmth. He stretched a bit and turned slightly to catch a glimpse of a girl. She was on the balcony of her hotel room and was gazing off into the sun. He looked at her more closely and saw the curly honey blonde hair which tumbled freely off her shoulders. She had a tall lean body with an amazing tan. She had obviously just got out of bed, because she was stretching, she wore short shorts and a tank top that showed off her beautiful skin. He was fascinated by her. Not just her physical aspects but her in general. She gave off a vibe. He turned back to the horizon where the sun was just rising. His mother was definitely right, it was breathtaking and special, just like the her.
Annabeth walked away from her friends rolling her eyes as she tried to hide a smile. They were crazy, which is probably why she loved them. She shook her head slightly as she walked up to the ice cream vendor. She glanced at the many options and tried to decide what she wanted. Someone came up beside her to inspect the menu as well and from the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of the person. It was him! The same guy from earlier that morning. He was standing right next to her. He looked even better up close and he smelled a little like the sea. She quickly turned her attention to the menu so as not to be caught staring.
Percy hated his friends, okay not really, but they were making him get ice cream for everyone. Not that he was going to, just to annoy them. He walked into the shade of the ice cream vendor and looked at the menu. But he soon realized he was standing next to her. The girl from that morning! She was analyzing the menu with beautiful gray eyes that he hadn't been able to see that morning. She was just as, if not more, stunning up close. She had a faint scent of lemons about her. He realized he was staring and shifted his attention to the menu.
The awkward part came as they both moved forward to get in line at the same time. Percy blushed and stepped back,
"Here, you go in front of me." To his surprise the girl was also blushing slightly as she moved in front of him with a small thank you.
Annabeth stood in line trying to figure out what to do next, she wanted to keep the conversation going. She turned around to face him.
"Um, thanks again. Are you sure you-" He cut her off,
"Yeah, it's fine. I don't mind at all." He was still a little nervous. She smiled at him and he thought that it just might be the prettiest smile he'd ever seen.
He looked away and passed it off as if he was checking to see how long the line was.
"Wow, there are so many people here. This line is gonna take forever," he commented. She was happy he'd said something because she didn't want to stop talking.
"Yeah, but it is is vacation season so..." she trailed off, "I'm guessing you're here on vacation too?" she asked. He grinned at her and her heart lurched.
"Yep! I'm here for a few weeks, what about you?" he responded.
"Same, here for vacation too."
"Where are you from originally?" he asked her curiously.
She smiled, "New York." His eyes widened. She was from New York! Why hadn't he come across her earlier.
"Really! Me too, I'm from Manhattan," he said, his eyes lighting up.
She was even more surprised, and happy. "That's funny, I'm from there too..."
He looked taken back, but smiled. "That is funny. Even though we live in the same city I meet you miles away from home."
She was about to agree when it was her turn up at the line. She bought an ice cream milkshake and stepped to the side to wait for the guy, she realized that she didn't know his name yet.
When he was done, he had bought a milkshake too, he walked over to her.
"I never got your name," she asked when he approached. He was feeling really happy knowing that she had waited for him and even happier that she wanted to continue talking. He held out a hand,
"Percy Jackson." She flashed another brilliant smile,
"Annabeth Chase."
-LINEBREAK-
"Wow the water is so clear! " Annabeth remarked as she stared into the small tide pool.
"Yeah," Percy responded vaguely. He was a bit too busy watching her.
"Look at the starfish! It's actually pink," she was saying. He noticed that her lips were also very pink. He wondered what it would be like to kiss them.
"Percy! Are you listening?" Annabeth's voice broke him out of his reverie and he turned to her a blush on his face. She was looking at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Sorry, I uh...got distracted," he said quickly. She shook her head at him and they both turned back to the tide pool, him only looking at her in small glances.
-LINEBREAK-
He was one with the ocean. She watched him surfing like a pro. He had entered the small competition, and was definitely going to win. Or at least that's what she believed. He really was amazing, and it seemed like he was manipulating the water as he surfed. He also looked really hot as the water glistened off him and how his eyes were so focused. When he did win, which was no surprise to her, she was glad to have an excuse to run up and give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. He was surprised when she did so and she backed away a little. He caught her arm,
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"I uh wa-" she was cut off by a pair of lips. His lips to be exact. She smiled against him and leaned in closer deepening the kiss a little. She was glad that surfing was a sport.
-LINEBREAK-
She stepped carefully on the plush red carpet that lay atop the sand. Her white flats made it easier to walk in and her dress swished at her heels. She looked up to see the man she loved so much. His eyes were trained at her and only her. And she did the same, staring back into his eyes the whole way down the aisle.
"I do," the words rolled off her lips and made him smile even wider in happiness. She was perfect, the one for him, and she had just agreed to spend the rest of her life with him. He couldn't be happier.
Behind the newly wedded pair the sun glistened off the ocean and the water sparkled. It was as if it too was congratulating the union of the two lovers.
-LINEBREAK-
The waves lapped at the shore creating a calm scene. Annabeth looked up to see the pink hue in the sky as the sun slowly set over the waters edge. She snuggled closer to Percy who tightened his grip around her. He rested his head on hers as they watched the figures of two children silhouetted against the setting sun. They were chasing each other, their laughs cutting into the silence.
Percy was remembering the first time he had seen his wife, up on the balcony that beautiful morning, as the sun rose and the light hit her face making her glow. He looked at her now and still the same glow seemed to emanate from her.
Annabeth was recalling her first sight of her husband, walking along the shore against the rising sun. He had looked to handsome and content at that moment. Looking at him now, she saw the same expression, if not even happier, as he watched their children play.
The sun was now lower in the sky and the pinkish hue had started turning more purple and blue. Soon it would be time to go inside but they both held on to the moment as the last rays of the sun set on the beach. The next sunrise would begin another day, one that they were both happy to share with one another.
