Hey guys! I am so sorry I really suck at keeping promises. I am going to continue this story so don't think I am giving up. I love writing this for you guys! I hope you guys like this!

Ch.18

Annabeth POV:

As me and Percy lay on the beach waiting for the firework show to start he looks at me and smiles. I smile back at him and hug his body. The sound of the waves crashing ashore and Percy's breathing is like music to my ears. I am about to kiss him but am stopped by the sound of fireworks. Percy looks at me and smiles. "They are amazing. But that does't mean we can't kiss." he says. He cups my face in his hands and touches his lips to mine passionately. I laugh and we continue kissing.

Percy POV:

When Annabeth and I stopped kissing and actually watched the fireworks I realized that the Hephaestus cabin had really outdone themselves. They were amazing. I am watching the fireworks and then I feel Annabeth's head fall on my shoulder. I then have an idea; I might get killed for. I pick Annabeth up by the waist and throw her over my shoulders. "PERCEUS JACKSON! Put me down!" she says trying to sound serious over her giggles. "Not today, Wise Girl!" I say as we plunge into the surf. "AH!" Annabeth says splashing me. I don't even try to stay dry because whats the fun in that?

"Percy!" "Ha, ha, ha!" I laugh as I drop a whole wall of water onto Annabeth.

Annabeth POV:

Percy and I are getting weird looks from the younger demigods as we act like we are twelve again splashing each other in the ocean. When I find Percy I clutch his neck. I lean in for a kiss. He leans in too but then I grab his hand. His eyes then get big because he knows what is coming. I then flip him onto his back. "Annabeth!" he says as he gets up from the bottom of the shallow water. He runs towards me and wraps me in his arms. This time we actually kiss.

~LINEBREAK~

When Percy and I are somewhat dry and the fireworks have ended we head back to the cabin. "Hey, Wise Girl, you done in there yet?" Percy yells to me from the other side of the bathroom door. "Yeah, one sec." I reply. I then open the door and stop dead in my tracks. Percy doesn't have a shirt on. His tan bronze skin is perfect. His six-pack and everything just come together perfectly. "What is it? Do I have something on me?" he asks me. "Oh- uh no." I say blushing. "Oh- oh." He says giving me a smile.

When me and Percy lay down in separate bunks the cabin is silent. "Percy?" I ask breaking the silence. "Yes, Annabeth?" he replies. "Why do you love me?" "Annabeth, why do I love you? Because, when you smile you light up the room, when you laugh it is music to my ears. Wise Girl, there is so many reasons I love you. You are beautiful, and you love me. I love you now and I will never stop." he says to me. I then get up from my bunk and join him in his. I snuggle up next to him and wrap my arms around him protectively
