I fidgeted throughout breakfast. My entire body itching to tell Percy, declare my love and hug him as tightly as I could. Of course Ms. Cuttingham decided to drone on and on about her cute little grandkids, and all the damn cute things they do. She had to list every single one. Finally she excused herself, and I watched Percy excuse himself and step outside. I waited for a while, but after Hazel and Piper both gave me winks and head nudges towards Percy, I followed. Percy was humming a song and fingering a flower petal.

"Percy?" I tried to make my voice as confident as I could, but it came out small.

Despite the quietness of my voice, he lazily looked over at me, "Hey,"

"Can I talk to you?" I stepped closer to him, and took another step when he didn't move back

Percy shrugged, "You already are,"

"I'm sorry,"

"What could you be sorry for?" His attention returned to the flower,

"For everything. For not telling you about Henry when you asked,"

"You have no need to be sorry for that. I was out of line. I was sent to the camp for my rage, and that rage came back. I'm the one who should be sorry. Not you,"

I sat down next to him, "It's over now,"

"What happened?" Percy surprise was genuine, and his body shifted closer to mine,

"His uncle got him a job in Venice Italy, and he wanted me to drop everything and move. I didn't want to, and a few other things were in the way," Percy gave me a look that let me know he fully got he was the few other things, "We decided to end it, last night,"

"That sucks. I'm sorry I was part of the reason behind it,"

I shook my head, "I was the reason behind it, because somewhere in between our laughs, jokes, and questions, I fell in love all over again. Piper asked me to describe home, and I started thinking of you hair color, the taste of your lips, the feel of your skin, the sound of your laugh, and then I just knew it. Knew it deep down, no matter how many other guys I go through, my heart would come back to you. It's like the universe is rooting for us to be together,"

He bumped his shoulder with mine, "They did a shitty job in the beginning, gave us a month then nothing for like 6 years. They're slacking,"

Out of reflex, my head rested on his shoulder and crook of his neck, "I feel shitty. I just broke an engagement because I fell in love with another guy,"

Percy's arm wrapped around my waist, "If you love 2 people at the same time, choose the second. Because is you truly loved the first, you wouldn't have fallen for the second,"

"Everyone but me must know that Johnny Depp quote." I laughed lightly, enjoying the warmth Percy was giving me, "You have your own place right?"

Percy gave me a sideways glance, "That depends on why you're asking,"

"Well, I have no point in living in San Francisco, and that job hasn't contacted me but it's in New York-" I let my voice trail off,

"In that case, yes. I have my own place,"

I looked at him, "Not anymore,"

We sat there in silence, not an awkward silence where both of us are struggling to find something to say. No, it was a comfortable silence, where words didn't need to be spoken. I was slowly lulled to sleep by Percy's steady breaths, jumping when something wet hit my shoulder. Large raindrops started to fall down, soaking through my thin shirt pretty easily.

Percy laughed, "Stand up," he yanked me up, "Kiss me."

"What?"

"Do you want an awesome kiss in the rain or not?" His arms tightly wound around my waist, and my arms flew to his neck. I stood on my tip toes and kissed him. I smiled into his lips, and he laughed into mine. We stood there wrapped up in each other, the world long forgotten. Our wet outfits clinging against each other. With a crack of thunder, we separated and I sighed at the sight of his hair. Even sopping wet it was still messy and pathetically sexy.

I refocused on his face, only to see him smirking, "What is it?"

"Did I just fulfill your girlish fantasy about the legendary 'The Notebook' kiss-in-the-rain-scene kiss?"

"Careful there, if your ego gets any bigger your head will float off," I laughed, not even caring we were both soaked to the bone,

Percy rolled his eyes, "I don't know why I asked you. It was pretty obvious,"

"You're an ass,"

Percy and I walked in hand in hand much later, after spending half the day joking until the rain passed over. The room was empty expect a dosing Leo curling up into a ball on one of the chairs,

I gave Percy a light kiss, "See you at dinner,"

Percy murmured something but I was already tip toeing to my room, my clothes leaving small puddles behind. I stripped down and changed, picking out a new outfit while setting my other to dry on the shower curtain pole. I bumped into Frank as I opened the door,

"Uh, hey" He looked around my room, and then up and down me, "Did you change?"

"Yeah, I spilled my lunch all down my front. Did you need something?" I side stepped the slightest, letting him know if he needed to come in, he could.

He nodded, stepping inside, "I need your help,"

I sat on my bed, "I'm here. What do you need?"

"Baby names," Frank's eyes wandered to the wall to my right,

"What?"

Frank groaned, "Hazel's demanding I think of some, and the only thing I can think of is Frank jr. She wants at least 2 for each gender,"

After thinking for a moment, I responded, "A girl, Melody, Isabel, Rosalie, or Elisha. A boy, Sirius, James, Charlie, or Seth. Just to name a few,"

He smiled, "You thought of those pretty fast. Any of those your names?"

"Yeah," I felt myself sheepishly smile, "Sirius and Isabel."

"I'll make sure to leave those out," Frank stood up and smiled, "I'm happy for you and Percy,"

My mouth dropped open, "What?"

"Annabeth, it's obvious. You went after him when he left, and didn't come back. Plus I can hear your wet clothes, and you're so blushing. Sorry about Henry,"

I found myself smiling, "Wow, I guess it is obvious. And about Henry, what happened, happened. It's over. I just don't know what comes next,"

Frank matched my smile, "Why, the best part. The happily ever after,"
