Percy's Pov

I smiled as I walked behind Annabeth into the little restaurant. She was wearing a black dress that came to mid thigh, grey stockings, black lace up ankle boots and a grey jacket. She looked beautiful.

I had only met her yesterday but I already felt that we were going to be friends in the future. We all sat down at a round table. "Can I get you any drinks?" A waiter asked. All us guys ordered a beer, and the girls all ordered wine. "So tell me about yourselves." She said, smiling.

"Frank and I grew up together in San Francisco. Nothing interesting really happened in our lives but Franks mom was in the navy." Hazel said, holding his hand. "I grew up in San Francisco then moved here. I Met Percy and Piper in high school and it carried on from there." Jason said, smiling at Piper.

"I grew up in different orphanages. My mom died in a fire when I was young." Leo said. I felt the pang in my heart that I felt everytime he talked about the fire. I hadn't been there but I was so sorry for him.

"And you? You're not from here." Piper said, smiling. "It's a long story." She said, chuckling. "No please tell us!" Leo plead. "Fine." She said, giving in. "My mom left, dad got remarried. Grew up in San Francisco and am currently moved here." She said, hesitant yet again.

"How old are you? You look quite young." Hazel asked, studying her. "I'm 22." She said, raising an eyebrow. "Oh! We're all 25." She replied, smiling. The guy came back with the drinks. "Wines on the house." He said, as he handed Annabeth her glass with a grin. She gave a nervous nod and took it.

He left and we all smirked at her. She sighed. "Gross." She said. "I have a boyfriend." She sad, saying boyfriend unsurely. I felt something die in me. "Oh, please tell?" Piper said, leaning cross the table. "I really don't want to talk bout it, it's complicated." She said, a slight bit of anger.

"Sorry." Piper said, sitting back in her chair. "I'm sorry, it's just a thing arranged by my dad." She said. "You mean your dad is making you-" Frank started. "As I said, it's complicated and I don't want to talk about it." She finished off.

We all finished our drinks and left. We walked through the streets. Some old music started playing from a shop. Annabeth stopped walking and asked, "Where is that playing?" I pointed towards an old cafe. "Margie's."

She walked towards it and we all followed. She went through and we all saw Margie look up. "Aunt Margie?" Ann asked. "Annabeth, my dear!" Margie said, getting up and giving her a hug. "You've grown so much! Last time I saw you, you were 12 and entering an arts competition." Margie said, smiling.

Annabeth chuckled. "So how's your father? Still wanting you to marry Dave?" She asked. Annabeth must have forgotten us as she said, "he called earlier to say he was flying Dave down in a months time and that he was going to propose and I will say yes."

Margie smiled sympathetically. "Don't worry about him, he's a tough man. You should tell him how you feel my love." She said. Ann chuckled. "Like he would listen." Margie, patted her hand. "Percy!" She said, noticing us.

"Hi Margie!" I said, hugging her. She gave me a smile. "Is Annabeth with you?" She said, pointing to us. "Yeah." I said, smiling at Annabeth. "Showing her around are you?" Se asked. "Of course." I said, giving Margie a smile. "You're mom taught you right. How is she?" She asked, smiling. "She's great. Started a new novel." I said. "That's great!" She said.

"We should get going, but it was nice seeing you." Annabeth said, giving her a hug. We all said goodbye and left. We walked down the street and past people doing acts. "So how do you know Margie?" Leo asked. "She's my godmother." She said.

"That's so cool!" He said. We all laughed. "I've had a long week so I think I'm going to go back to my place." Annabeth said, as we neared the parking lot. "But we were going to go out for dinner?. You sure you don't want to tag along?" Jason asked. "Yeah, it's fine." She said.

She was still waiting for her car which was going to be driven down so she started walking towards the road to catch a cab. "Annabeth." I said, causing her to turn to me. "I'm pretty tired as well, I'll take you back to the apartments." She smiled. "Thanks Percy."

We got in my car and drove to our building. I parked my car outside it and we went inside. We were silent in the elevator up. When we stepped out and walked to our doors we stopped. We were silent, thinking what to say.

"Thank you Percy." She said, smiling. "I'm really glad I'm working with you." I smiled at her comment. "It's great being able to see you during the day." I said. She looked me in the eyes and I felt butterflies erupt in my stomach. She kissed my cheek and gave me a smile then went into her apartment and closed the door. I smiled, my cheek tingling. It answered my suspicions. I was falling for her.
