Chapter 2

'That was fun, wasn't it?, asked Annabeth with a smile, entering their apartment and shutting the door behind her.

'You can say that again', said Percy 'But did you realize something Wise Girl?'

'We ended our education Seaweed Brain! What else is there to realise?'

'For one, we are capable of living in the mortal world, though we never really would fit in. And for another, we are both 20 now, and old enough to make our own decisions. Besides, its been over 4 years since we have been dating and our relationship still feels new and delicate'

'Yes...', said Annabeth, a suspicion forming in her head.

'And both of us have well paying jobs'

'That's right.'

'We are pretty independent.'

'What do you want to say, Seaweed Brain? You don't have to beat about the bush with me.'

'I was merely pointing out the facts to you before I did this', smiled Percy.

Annabeth suddenly noticed lovely flowers in vases al around the living room. She waited with baited breath for Percy's next words.
