Hey! I am going to be quite busy tomorrow with packing in the evenings and getting shots before I go away for 2 weeks so this might be my last update for a while. I will be out the country but it will give me plenty of time to think of different ideas. Thanks!

2 Weeks Later

Percy's POV

I was getting used to the new house. It was so spacious and felt cozy. I was busy with some work, on our couch with a blanket. The sun was setting, shading the room in oranges, purples and pinks.

I heard the front door and some keys being dropped on the front table. I knew it was Annabeth so I carried on with my work. I felt her arms drape around my neck from behind me and she kissed my cheek. "Hey Ann." I said. She walked around and sat down next to me, snuggling into my side.

"What you working on?" She asked me. I sighed and rubbed my eyes as I had been trying to read it for two hours. "It's a paper about different scientific names for fish. Stupid dyslexia." I said. She chuckled from next to me. "Would you like some coffee?" She asked me as she got up.

"Please." I said, putting my papers aside. She chuckled and went to the kitchen. She came back a few minutes later. Her phone vibrated in her pocket and she checked her messages. "Percy?" She asked, reading it.

"Yeah." I said, looking at her. She looked up from her phone and looked at me. "Do you mind if tomorrow one of my friends from work come over and help me with a new design? They are doing renovations next door to the office and its driving me crazy with all the noise." She said. I smiled at her. "Sure, I'm going to be at university from 10am anyway." I said.

She smiled and typed something into her phone. She put it on the table when she was done and leaned into me. "I have a headache from the stupid drilling today so I think I'm going to bed after dinner." She said, massaging her temples.

I kissed her forehead and got up. "I'll make some pasta." I said. She mouthed a thank you and closed her eyes and lay down on the couch. I went to the kitchen and made the supper.

We both ate it. "Thanks." Annabeth said as we went to the kitchen and put the plates in the dish washer. She gave me a kiss before going to our bedroom. I put the dishwasher on and cleaned all my stuff up from the lounge. I turned off all the lights and made my way to our bedroom.

I was quiet when I opened the door and closed it as softly as possible to not wake Annabeth up. She stirred but didn't wake. I got dressed and crawled in next to her. I kissed her cheek and fell asleep.


Annabeth's POV

I woke up with Percy next to me. My headache was gone and I felt bright and breezy. I got up and had a shower. As I was getting dressed I heard Percy say from behind me, "Morning Wisegirl." I straightened my top and turned to him with a smile. He was propped up on his elbows.

I leaned over the bed and gave him a sweet and soft kiss. He smiled into it and we parted. "Sleep in, it's fine." I said. He stretched and got up. "It's fine, I'm going to have a shower and get dressed." He said. The door bell rang. "Well I will see you in a bit." I said, walking out the door and closing it behind me.

I quickly went to open the door. "Hello." I said smiling at my partner, Connor. "Hey." He said. I gestured for him to come in and closed the door behind him. He had his bag slung over his shoulder with the designs in it.

I showed him to the lounge. "Sweet house. You designed it, right?" He asked. I smiled. "Yeah." I said. He had blonde hair and blue eyes and was quite polite. He was 24 years old. "So let's start with the outline." He said, sketching. We worked on it for about 20 minutes until we decided to work in my office for a bigger desk.

We were gathering our stuff to move to my office when Percy came through. He had his bag over his shoulder. "Hi. I'm Percy." He said, shaking Connor's hand. "Connor." He said, smiling at Percy. Percy looked at me and smiled. "I decided to go in early, I'll be back later." He said, kissed my cheek them went out the front door.

We carried on and moved all our stuff to my office. I was leaning over the design and checking it. He was new so i had ro make sure he was doing his work correctly. He was leaning against the wall across from me, waiting for me to say what I thought about the sketch. "So he's your boyfriend?" He asked me. I shifted my eyes to look at him. He was studying me. "My fiancé." I said, straightening my composure so I was standing up straight.

He looked down with a smile on his face. "Is there something wrong?" I asked him, raising and eyebrow. He looked up at me. "I didn't know you were in a relationship, but to pretty women like yourself would obviously have a guy." He said, smirking at me. I stepped back a step. "Are you hitting on me?" I asked.

He laughed. "No, I have a girlfriend. I was just complementing you." He said. "Anyway, back to the design. What do you think?" He asked. I looked back to it, continuing the work. "It's really good. All the dimensions are correct." I said, studying it again.


"Thanks." I said, as I watched him go to his car. He gave a wave then got in his car and drove off. I walked back into the house, closing the door behind me. I sighed and cleaned everything up.

When I was finished I put on my grey waterfall cardigan and went outside and stood on our porch. It lead out into the garden and pool. I looked out at the sea, pulling the cardigan closer to me as a slight breeze chilled me.

I felt a strong pair of arms wrap around my waist. "I never heard you come in." I said, not taking my eyes away from the setting sun and the sea. "Probably because you were too engrossed in the view." He said. I chuckled and sighed. He leaned down and kissed my jaw. I smiled and put my hands over his that were wrapped around my stomach.

"I really love this house." He said, leaning his head on top of mine. "So do I. And having you here makes it better." I said. He kissed the top of my head. "Love you too." He whispered into my ear. I shuddered and could practically see him smiling.

I turned around in his arms to see his face. He smiled at me and cupped my cheek in his hand. He rubbed my cheek with his thumb. I closed my eyes and turned my face into his hand, kissing his palm. I looked back at him, getting lost in his beautiful eyes. I didn't even notice him leaning in. He kissed me, gently. I kissed him back, moving my hand to his cheek.

We pulled apart and went inside. We lay on the couch as we had done the day before. I snuggled into his chest, breathing in his salty scent that I loved so much. He was playing with my hair, twiddling it around in his fingers. I had never felt more at peace. It was magical.
