Soldier Chapter 29

Silena rushed into Annabeth's office "I found the perfect dress; you are going to look amazing".

Annabeth sat her pencil down looking up at Silena "What took you so long we have two hours before Percy is picking me up?"

Silena smiled sheepishly "I had to go to two different malls to find the right dress and right shoes; we have plenty of time to do your hair and make-up. I stopped at home and grabbed my make-up, hair straightener, curler, and some other necessities".

Annabeth frowned "That looks like a lot of stuff, you do realize that this is just dinner right?"

Silena shook her head "This is not just dinner; you're having dinner with your boyfriend's incredibly famous and rich father, sweetie this is not just dinner you have to make an impression on Poseidon".

"Alright fine but I don't want over the top hair or make-up, just simple so I still look myself" Annabeth said sternly.

Silena sighed "Deal, now stop working and pull your chair out here so I can get started on your hair.

Two hours later Annabeth was dressed in a White floor length Burberry Dress, it had a strap that went over her right shoulder and a slit that went down the middle between her legs, and she wore black heels. She wore her hair down in soft curls, and had just a little bit of make-up on so that it still looked natural. (The dress is something that Emma Watson wore to event a couple years ago here's the link

"Annabeth you look absolutely amazing" Silena said smiling.

Annabeth smiled looking in the mirror on the back of her door "Silena this is amazing, I love it thank you so much".

"I'm just glad I could help" Silena said before someone knocked on the office door. "That's probably Percy I'll get it" she said opening the door.

Percy stood in front of the door with his hands in his pockets, he was wearing a black Gucci suit with a black bow tie, his hair was actually combed and spiked up in the front. "Well don't you clean up nice Mr. Jackson" Silena said "Annabeth just finished getting ready" she said moving to the side so Percy could walk in.

Percy smiled "Thank you Silena, my cousin's girlfriend Katie helped me pick it out".

"Wow Percy that suit looks great on you" Annabeth said.

Percy turned away from Silena looking at Annabeth, Percy's eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly. "Annabeth….. you….. you look incredible" Percy managed to get out.

Silena and Annabeth both laughed "I told you he'd be speechless".

Annabeth nodded her head "Thank you Percy, and thank you Silena for all your help. But shouldn't we get going Percy".

Percy shook his head "Oh right yeah we should get going" he said holding his arm out to her.

Annabeth smiled taking his arm "I'll see you tomorrow Silena, now go home".

"Have fun you two" Silena said as they left Annabeth's office.

Percy and Annabeth got into the black car that his dad sent for them. Once in the car Percy seemed to find his voice again "You look absolutely amazing in that dress wise girl".

Annabeth smiled "You look pretty good in that suit seaweed brain".

Percy smiled leaning towards her and cupping her cheek with his hand "I really want to kiss you right now" he whispered.

Annabeth smiled "Nothings stopping you" she whispered back.

Percy smirked as he closed the gap between them, slowly but determined Percy moved his lips over hers. Annabeth melted into the tender kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck Percy moved his hands to her hip pulling her into his lap. Annabeth was extremely glad for the slip in her dress. Percy broke away from the kiss but quickly moved to her neck and exposed chest.

Annabeth let out a soft moan "You better not leave a mark seaweed brain" she mumbled.

Percy smiled against her skin "I won't, I promise, you look amazing right now" he said between kisses.

Annabeth smiled setting her hands on either side of his face making him look at her, Annabeth stared into his breath taking sea green eyes seeing the love, and lust filled there. Annabeth quickly pressed her lips onto his again but this one didn't last very long.

Annabeth pulled away and moved out of Percy's lap "We need to calm down a little were meeting you dad soon" she said as she smoothed out her dress.

Percy nodded his head as he tried to flatten his hair "Yeah, but afterwards your all mine, and we don't even have to wait to get to the bedroom, now that Thalia moved out" he said grinning.

"I don't think so, I am not having sex with you on the couch" Annabeth said sternly.

"Of course not, I just meant we can strip each other while on our way to the bedroom" Percy said quickly, trying to keep himself out of hot water.

"Quick thinking seaweed brain" she said as looked out the window to see them pulling up in front of the restaurant.

Percy took her hand squeezing it "You ready?" he asked softly.

Annabeth nodded her head smiling at him. Percy smiled and get out of the car from his side and quickly moved to her side to open her door for her and help her out. Once she was out of the car Percy set his hand on her lower back as he led them both into the restaurant.

"Hello welcome to Le Cirque, do you have a reservation?" The waitress asked.

"Were meeting someone here, the reservation should be under Poseidon" Percy said.

"Yes here it is, table for four, Mr. Olympiad and his wife are already here, follow me and I'll take you to the table" she said leading them to the back of the restaurant.

Percy took her hand in his and smiled softly at her. Finally they reached a secluded table in the back of the restaurant where a man with black hair and sea green eyes just like Percy sat with a beautiful black haired and blue eyed woman.

Poseidon smiled when he saw Percy and immediately stood up coming around the table to hug Percy, "It's so good to see you Percy" Poseidon said wrapping Percy in a tight hug.

Percy smiled hugging his dad "It's good to see you too dad".

Amphitrite stood up from the table as well smiling at Percy "Hello Percy" she said softly.

Percy smiled hugging her as well "Hello Amphitrite"

When they pulled away from each other Percy moved back to Annabeth's side taking her hand "Dad, Amphitrite this Annabeth Chase my girlfriend" he said with a large smile.

Annabeth smiled sticking her hand out to Poseidon and Amphitrite "It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Olympiad".

Amphitrite smiled taking Annabeth's hand "Please call me Amphitrite, I am most diffidently not my sister in-law Hera, it's wonderful to meet you as well Annabeth".

Poseidon stepped towards her taking her hand next "And call me Poseidon, Percy has told me a lot about you daughter of Athena" he said slightly cold.

"Dad" Percy said.

"No it's fine Perce, I'm not ashamed of who my mother is even if I don't agree with her most of the time" Annabeth said.

Poseidon looked at her oddly but didn't say anything as the four of them sat down at the table.

"Percy says that you work for your mother as one of the head architects that is quite impressive considering how young you are" Amphitrite said.

Annabeth smiled "Thank you, it's something I've always loved doing, and people apparently like my work ".

Percy smiled "She's amazing, I've seen her designs and their incredible".

"I'm looking into redesigning a building here in New York for my knew office, would you be interested in doing the designs" Poseidon asked.

Annabeth blinked completely surprised "Yes I would diffidently be interested in doing the designs".

Poseidon smiled "Would your mother let you design my building?"

Annabeth shook her head "We can leave her out of it, I will do it on my own individual time, if that's okay with you?"

"That's perfectly fine with me" Poseidon said before turning to Percy "When do you leave son?"

"The first of August" Percy said.

"Are you going back overseas or to your base?"

"Base first and then we'll see from there" Percy said.

"Were having a barbeque at out vacation home in upper New York this city, we would love it if you and Annabeth would come. And I'm sure you aunt's and uncle's would love to see you" Amphitrite said.

Percy looked at Annabeth who nodded her head "Yeah okay just let us know the time, but who exactly is going to be there?"

"Pretty much everyone as far as we know except of course your mother Annabeth apparently she's visiting your brother, Hades and Zeus are trying to get Thalia and Nico to come along as well, maybe you can persuade them to join you and Annabeth" Amphitrite said.

"I don't know about Thalia from what I understand she and Zeus aren't very happy with each other right now, but I'm sure I can get Nico to come" Percy said as the waiter brought them the wine Poseidon ordered.

"You didn't say on the phone but I'm very curious as to who you two meet?" Poseidon asked.

"Oh well it was purely by accident, it's actually kind of funny?" Percy said smiling at Annabeth.

"We meet in Central Park, I was running when all of a sudden I was knocked to the ground when I looked up Percy was hovering above me staring at me" Annabeth said.

Percy smiled sheepishly "I got distracted and wasn't paying attention to where I was going; I managed to catch myself before I completely crushed her but when I saw how beautiful she was I was completely entranced, she had to ask me to get off of her".

"Wow that's quite some story, I apologize my son's clumsiness, I must admit he gets that from me" Poseidon said.

Amphitrite snorted "Yes it's quite obvious to anyone who knows you, last week he managed to break every single glass we owned, but I am very much hoping that Percy did not inherit his cheesy pickup lines".

Annabeth laughed "Sometime he says some pretty cheesy things but I think they're cute".

"I must admit you two are nice together" Poseidon said.

Percy and Annabeth both smiled. The rest of the dinner went without a problem, Poseidon slowly relaxed and started accepting Annabeth, which in return made Annabeth relax. Amphitrite told different stories of Percy breaking things and being a complete menace when she first meet him, but she said it in a caring way.

After dinner the four of them waited outside the restaurant for their separate cars to pick them up, Percy and Amphitrite were off to the side talking about the barbeque so Posedion stood next to Annabeth, which was awkward for the first couple of minutes since neither knew what to say.

"I want to thank you Annabeth, I've never seen Percy so happy and it's only obvious that you're the reason for that. I know I wasn't there for Percy when he needed me, and that I'm not the greatest father but I do love him more than he'll ever know and I just ask that you don't hurt him" Poseidon said sincerely.

Annabeth smiled a little "I have no intentions of hurting Percy, I know we've only been together barely a month but I really do care about him, the last thing I want to do is hurt him".

Poseidon smiled setting his hand on her arm "I want you to know that I have no grudge over who your mother is, you make my son happy and that's all that matters to me".

Annabeth smiled "Thank you Poseidon that means a lot to me".

Poseidon and Amphitrite's car pulled up, they each hugged Percy and surprised Annabeth by hugging her as well. Once they were gone Percy wrapped his arm around her shoulders pulling her into his side and kissing her temple.

"Well that went better than I thought it would" Percy said as their car pulled up.

Annabeth smiled "It wasn't, your dad actually told me that he doesn't hold a grudge over the fact that Athena is my mother, and that all that matters to him is that you're happy. But what really shocked me was the fact that he asked me to design his new building".

Percy laughed "I know it shocked me to, but I'm glad he accepted you. Do you really want to go to the barbeque this weekend?"

"I do it would be good for you to see your family, and I can get Thalia to go as well, you just get Nico to go and I'll get Thalia, it'll be good" Annabeth said.

Percy smiled pulling her into a kiss "I love you" he whispered.

"I love you to seaweed brain" She said kissing him again.
