Percy's POV
I couldn't believe this. I was getting married to another woman on the day I was supposed to marry Annabeth.
Let me explain myself, after that first kiss Calypso and I started dating. I never told her that I loved her, it just didn't feel right.
She didn't say those words to me until a couple of months ago. When she did I didn't say anything, just held her.
In my head I kept listing all the things that I loved about her. So I pretty much coached myself into loving her.
The next time she said it I said it back to her, which was a month ago. Her eyes danced with happiness which made me smile.
"Will you marry me?" she asked. At first I thought she was joking, but after glancing at her face I realized she was serious.
"Isn't that supposed to be my line?" I joked trying to lighten up the mood. It didn't work.
"I'm serious Percy. Do you want to?" her eyes bore into mine, looking for an answer. I had to move on, it was now or never.
"Yes," I whispered. She squealed and jumped into my arms, as I stared over her shoulder I couldn't help but wonder if this was a mistake.
The Daughters of Aphrodite were more than willing to help Calypso plan the wedding. One day we went out to the lake and she wondered aloud what date we should get married.
"March 27th" immediately flew out of my mouth. I looked over at her to see if the date was okay.
"That's interesting. Have you been thinking about this for a while or is that like your favorite number?" she asked. I wasn't about to tell her the real reason so I just made an excuse.
"Yeah it's my favorite number," I lied. By the look on her face I knew she liked the date and she didn't see through my false pretenses.
I didn't have to put much planning into it. The only thing I really planned was the honeymoon, which I insisted was going to be a surprise.
The day was finally here. I was going to have to let Annabeth go and marry another woman. Gods I hope I made the right decision, because my gut is telling me to get the heck out of here.
Ah the reviews make me laugh :) I agree about the whole year thing, I just didn't want him to be too old. Not that many chapters left, I'm thinking about a sequel. What do you guys think?
