Annabeth's POV

It's been three days. Three days of Percy nonstop texting me and me surprisingly texting back to him. (I never liked texting people.) I learned a lot about him in those three day's. So much so that it was surprising that he was such a weird person. Like for instance his best friend wears black all the time. (Sounds like someone else I know? Maybe Thalia?) Like me he was secretly obsessed with the Ancient Greek Culture ,but unlike me he had no problem voicing his past ,present or what he hoped to become in his future. And I never made friends with people like that ,but with him it was dare I say it easy.

But back to the present it was Thursday and Thalia left at 12 o'clock with Luke because they had to drive all the way into town which was far because this house was..secluded. But I sat on the couch my head hanging off the edge upside down glancing at the clock every now and then...

1pm I got up and went to the bathroom which was uncovently placed behind the formal dining room. Once I got out I heard my phone ringing with a new text message waiting to be opened and replied to. I opened it and I was surprised it wasn't Percy is was my father sending me a text message on his black berry.

Hey honey, how's the Hamptons Matt says hi

I chuckled as I replied to him slipping back to my original position on the couch silently thanking myself in my head. I was happy it was just my dad texting to say hi because for a second I was worried it was about her.

2pm I rented Alice and Wonderland the new one of course. As I was watching I realized that Alice ran away from a lot of things. But like that mattered this was a movie I'm talking about. Where people grew and shrunk and has very very strange heads. Though it got me thinking what if she stayed in Underland. Her world would be different she could have run away from her true life forever ,but I guess she realized that like everything else one day you have to face your problems.

4pm I was crying when the movie finished realizing I was running away from my family and the 'problems' that were going on back on the west coast. I knew I would have to face them ,but then I convinced myself that I was only taking a 'vacation' from them and that was perfectly acceptable.

5pm I was eating ice cream when my phone rang and it was another text message. Fear shot through me as I picked up my phone till I realized that it was Percy this time. Breathing I sigh of relief. I places my head on the couch and drifted to sleep with my eye's resting on the clock.

10pm My eye's snapped open to the clock noticing I slept for 5 hours. I heard cursing and loud 'thud' sounds outside the front door noticing it was Thalia.

I looked at her as she just go inside the house. She closed the door and leaned agesnt it and then glance to my was sleeping figure on the couch.

"ANNABETHLUKEPROPOSEDICAN'TBELIEVEIT!' I heard her screech and come running. I immediately snapped up realizing what she just said. Holy shit was pretty just my only thought.

"What?" I sputtered out. I knew exactly what she just said ,but I was surprised. Her usually piercing eye's were traveling at 2000 miles per hour and they had a curtain light in them. I glanced down at her outfit. Black all black. Well that really wasn't suprising it is a black tie cruise. But her dress (A small cocktail one) was black.

Her eye's lit up as she told the story. It was like a fairly tale proposal. Luke rented the whole ship and once she walked in there was a sign that said Marry Me? Then Luke got down on one knee and asked. I thought it was cute and everything ,but I was surprised she said yes. We were both 18 and yes she was an intern at her fathers business so she really didn't need to go to collage ,but she also threw a bunch of possibilities out the window. It felt out of place , her and Luke. Like they weren't meant to be ,but like always I didn't say anything because she was truly happy. Like she thought it was going to work out when the chances of them staying together 'forever' was slim.

"-So you'll help me right?" Thalia said knocking me back into the conversation. It took me a second till I realized that she said she wanted an engagement party. "Yes defiantly." I smiled looking into her eye's so full of hope. I silently cursed at myself how could I be so distant ,why could I just be damn happy for once instead of ruining every possibility they have in my head.

"Well I don't know were we'll hold it ,but I think that Luke should invite people that are important to him too so I'll get a guest list from him and you know who to invite for me." She smiled widely. I knew too and he was not going to be happy that his little girl got engaged at 18. And the press would have a field day if this whole thing got out. So activate Annabeth party planning in super secret mode!

For the next few day's I got everything together and sent invited out with almost all of the people saying, 'Yes they'll be there.' Well except for one person ,but they were climbing some mountain in Africa so the fact they wouldn't be able to get down kinda stood in the way. I don't know why ,but I liked to plan parties. In a way it's like planning the next great building. It need's to have the appeal to people and if you don't get it right everything will come crashing down on you.

Finally on Sunday was the day of the Party. We hired a service to cater and clean the party and the whole house was open to people. Luckily these were Hamptons people so the glass walls of the house would be safe. I mulled around getting ready to make the announcement looking for Thalia. She was standing alone next to a boy who looked like death next to...how did I not know he was coming?

I walked up to them glancing at Thalia with a where-is-Luke look. She jerked her head in a direction that I followed till my eye's fell on Luke flirting with some girl AT HIS ENGAGEMENT PARTY. It took a lot to not say You shouldn't do this ,but that would get her very very mad. '

"Anyways this is Nico." She said motioning to the boy next her. He had pale white skin and was wearing all black. He had bags under his eye's and his hair was half flat on his head which made it look like he just woke up. He nodded her head towards her.

"Wait you look famli-" Nico started ,but the person next to him cut him off.

"Annabeth? I didn't know you knew Luke?" I could hear a smirk on his face. I glanced over to Percy's sea green eye's and was caught there. My words were caught in my throat ,but finally I forced them out.

"I'm not-" I said glancing over at Luke still obliviously flirting."My cousin Thalia is the one thats engaged to him." I looked to see if Thalia was stairing at me awkwardly standing talking to Percy. But she wasn't she was laughing at some joke Nico just said who was looking at her with a curtain light in his eye's. She was returning that light till she glanced at Luke and smoothed herself out holding the wine glass in her hand and decided to start talking about something else.

"Ah I see and I take it you sent out the invitations too." He chuckled. We talked till it was the time to make the 'engaged' announcement. People cheered and congratulated the two. I was worried because I know it wasn't my place ,but I know I saw a happy gleam in her eye's whenever she glanced Nico's way.

Percy's POV

I was happy she was here. And when I say happy I mean I knew she was going to be here and once again she looked beautiful. She was wearing a light blue dress that made her tanned long legs make them look like they went on for miles. Her hair was neatly up in princess curls. I still towered over her even when she had heel's on.

I smiled at her seeing a flicker of a smiled on her face as we talked about the ocean which surprisingly we talked about it a lot.

"Can you come on a walk with me?" I asked as she stepped down from the stairs teetering on her heels for a second.

"Where to?" She asked her gray eye's looking intently into mine as if she was a human lie detector.

"Oh in the maze I guess." I said glancing through the glass. The hedge maze outside was just asking to be explored. Then again my mom always said I had the attention span of a 5 year-old. I could feel her eye's on me as I glanced out the wall. She gave a small shrug and glanced back to her friend who was laughing with Nico. A mixture of emotions cross her face ,but the one that was the most noticeable was disappointment which really confused me. Why on earth would she be disappointed that her cousin was getting married.

"Sure why not?" She said leading me outside. As soon as the door slowly closed I turned to her as she was facing the maze.

"So do you not approve?" I asked looking down and focusing on the top of her head. She turned so fast I thought she was going to get whip lash. She opened her mouth ready to speak and probably snap at me. Thought before any words came out I caught her eye's with mine. I could see she was mildly shocked I asked her that ,but I didn't really care because I liked shocking people. I laughed to myself in my head.

" Well-" She started "It's not that I don't like them together. They make googly eye's and are really sweet to each other ,but their not the kind of couple that should get married. Luke is just well, he's a flirt and Thalia hates it when he does. But he doesn't know that so he just keeps on flirting and then theres the huge problem of age!" She exclaimed throwing her hands up in the air and glancing my into the eye's. "You can't think someone should get married right out of high school."

"Well I don't-"

"Good you shouldn't." She said interrupting me.

This is the time dammit ask! I scolded myself. I looked at her quickly as she was gazing at the sky. "Annabeth I know you said we barley know each other ,but now wo do so would you like to go on a date tomorrow?" I asked fumbling with my hands. Dammit Percy Jackson does not fumble with is hands! I could tell that she was thinking it over and damn she looked good when she did that. She opened her mouth to say something.
