A/N: I DO NOT OWN PERCY JACKSON SERIES, RICK RIORDAN DOES
Percy PoV
The engagement was spectacular.
It was on a beach, Montauk, obviously, one of my favourite places since childhood. Annabeth and I were sitting there, all alone, relaxing on a blanket and enjoying the gently swaying breeze smelling of salty water and Annabeth's lemon scent shampoo. It was evening now, the moon to come out in moments.
We both were 25 years now, and I had started working in a 'fish and wildlife' centre, in the field of marine biology, a study which I was interested since elementary school. Annabeth had gotten a job in an architectural firm, and had been delighted when they offered her to design an independent house for a family of five.
I was a little nervous, well extremely nervous, you can say. Mom and Paul told me not to be, that 'Annabeth is a sweet girl' and all, and without any doubt she would say yes. I knew she probably would, but I guess every man feels anxious before proposing.
I learnt my lines, well sort of, and was thinking about how I should start it.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Annabeth said, leaning her head on my shoulder and lacing our hands together. "Yes, it is," I responded, "but you look much more beautiful," I said, turning to look at her face, and kissing her neck lightly. She giggled a bit, something which I found about her very cute.
'This is the time….,' I told myself and took a deep breath.
"Come with me, "I blurted out, my voice with a little hint of 40% nervousness.
"Where?" She asked, but till then I had pulled her to the place with a big heart traced on the sand, where a new chapter of life was going to start.
'Ok Percy, deep breaths' I reminded myself.
I dragged her inside the heart, her hair blowing around her face making her look extremely beautiful.
I took out the little box out of my pocket, which had been bugging in my pocket since today evening and stood on one knee. I opened the box, revealing a ring, the band designed to mimic the shape of leaves, and a carefully crafted owl centered in place.
Annabeth gasped, "Percy…..," her eyes trying to process what she was seeing.
I took this as an encouragement and told my lines with all my heart, and love towards the incredible woman standing in front of me.
"Annabeth Chase, in you, my life becomes whole, with you my days become bright, I love you not only for what you are but for what I am, when I am with you," I could see Annabeth's eyes tearing up now.
"I know we'll be alright this time, darling, just hold my hand, be my girl, I'll be your man, I see my future in your eyes," Her face was totally emotional and joyful at the same time.
"I love the feeling and the butterflies I get in my stomach every time I see you smiling. I would love to smile for the rest of my life too. I love you, Annabeth Chase, will you marry me?" I said, myself getting teary eyed too. She looked at me, her expression priceless.
For a second she seemed shocked, and I was scared that she would say no, but then she threw her arms around me, and exclaimed, "Yes!" She backed away, and I slipped the ring into her finger. It was a total match to her body. With a smile plastered on her face, she said, "I love you to the moon and back, Percy, even more than that," she said joyfully with happy tears in her eyes.
"And I love you 3,000 Wise Girl" I responded. "Wait here" I said her and ran quickly where we had placed our blanket and basket. I dug my hand through the basket and found the mini speaker in which I had downloaded the song. Going back where Annabeth was, I said,
"Annabeth Chase, it would give me the greatest pleasure if you would do the honour of letting me lead you through this dance,"
Without waiting for her response, I placed my hand on her waist, and joined other hand with my left hand.
Then I pressed the button on the speaker and played the song 'Perfect' by Ed Sheeran.
I found a love for me
Darling, just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
Darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you're holding mine
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, we're listenin' to our favourite song
We both had started dancing now, except that we were dancing on soft sand on the shores of the beach. Her head was on my chest, my arms around her waist and we were moving in a sync along with the song.
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fightin' against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listenin' to our favourite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight
Oh, no, no
Mm
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, we're listenin' to our favourite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
No, I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight
The song ended, and we gazed in each other's eyes for a long time, green to grey.
Then I cupped her face in my hands and kissed her passionately, she responded back, by wrapping her arms around my neck. I placed my arms on the sides of her waist, and spun her around, we both shouting. And you can say, that this was the second-best kiss of all time.
