Jason's Pov:
I stand up and push the girl out of the way so I can stand next to Piper. I examine the stranger, her hair is sticking to her face, and she has a wild look in her eyes. I see something on her arm though. It says SPQR.
"Reyna?" I ask.
"Yeah, it's Reyna. And Jason, you can't get married to Piper. You just can't."
"Why not?" I ask her, with impatience in my voice.
"Because. You should be with me. I love you Jason. Okay! I said it. I mean, we've known each other so much longer than you've known her." She spits out her, jealousy obvious in her voice. She sounds so childish.
"Listen Reyna. I like you, but not that way. As a friend, and that's it."
She glares at me, and she's fuming as she speaks the last words. "This is all your fault, you pathetic little Aphrodite girl."
"Hey! Get away from her! Get out of here Reyna! I don't want you anywhere near us!" I shout at her, my face probably red.
Her eyes fill with hate, and she cowers, then whips around. She runs back the way she came. Man, she's annoying. I turn back to Piper.
"Ignore her." I roll my eyes. "Hey, let's try that again." I get down on my knee for a second time, and ask,"Piper, will you marry me?"
"Of course Jason!" she says with a huge smile on her face.
I smile back at her, and put the ring on her finger, then wrap her in a hug. Some leaves have started to fall around us, swirling in the faint breeze. I've decided this is the best moment of my life. We walk back to the car, and neither of us can wait to break the news to everyone.
First we tell Percy and Annabeth. Percy pretty much already knew, but I guess he must not have told Annabeth because she was at first so shocked she stood up and accidentally fell over backwards. We all laughed, but then she got up and raced over to Piper. She was super giddy, and Piper shared all the details after Annabeth insisted. Even the Reyna part. None of us had seen Reyna in a while, so Percy and Annabeth were kind of surprised. They got over it quickly though, and Percy just said "Congratulations guys. When's the date?"
I look at Piper, and we both shrug.
"Eh, I don't know yet. We'll figure it out," she says.
I look at my watch and realize that it's 5:22. "Oh, wow. Time flew, I guess we'll have to be leaving now. See you guys later!"
"Oh, okay. Yeah you probably should be going. Bye!" Annabeth says.
"Yeah, congratulations again," Percy says, as we leave.
As Piper get into her apartment, we just laugh. We make our first meal together as fianceés, even though it's just a couple of cheeseburgers. How romantic. We sit down at her table, and chat. We talk about what time of year we want the wedding to be, how soon, who to invite. We decide for it to be in the summer, which is in a few months. It's April 26 right now, so we have a decent amount of time to plan. After, I help Piper clean up the dishes and stuff, and then we say goodnight and hug again. I head over to my apartment and think about how fortunate I am to have Piper. I fall asleep with the most beautiful girl I've ever met on my mind. Piper.
