He smiled and pulled me into him. We stayed like that for a few minutes. After that he leaned down to my ear and whispered, "I'm still waiting for my answer." I wiped my tears away and looked up into his face. I saw the boy that at first had annoyed me, the boy who not only saved the world, but had also saved me. Not just from other things, but also myself. He was the boy that I loved. He was Percy Jackson,my hero, my best friend and, most of all, the love of my life. I couldn't even say anything. I just nodded. He smiled and kissed me. It was the best kiss that we had ever had.

"So why were you so scared to ask me. I mean it seemed more that just jitters?" I asked a bit later while fiddling with my ring. It was a turquoise gem shaped like a heart. He gave me a sad smile.
"So your mom said that she would give me her blessing, but I came back and she said that she was undecided."
"Wait, so you almost killed yourself for me?!" I asked ridiculously. He gave me his big smile and pulled me closer.
"Aw, you do care." I hit him across the chest. "Well she still hasn't given me her blessing, but I just had to ask. Since we're underwater she probably doesn't know that I asked you, so if you don't tell anyone well be fine until she gives me her blessing." On the inside I was fuming. I couldn't believe that my mom hadn't given Percy her blessing. I wanted to yell, but then I saw Percy's face. I could tell he didn't want me mad at my mom, and was trying to see if I was. I smiled at that seemed to make him relax. We stayed there for a few hours, but then I told that I had to go get ready for the Karate competition today. He smiled and told me that he would be there.
