Two Months Later

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Annabeth, happy birthday to you!" I bolt awake at the loud singing and rub my blurry eyes to find my family (including Percy) standing at the foot of my bed, holding presents and wearing party hats on their heads with huge grins on their faces.

"If it wasn't my birthday I would kill you all for waking me up," I say before stretching my arms above my head and yawning.

My parents laugh and stay standing while Percy comes over to sit on the edge of my bed. He presses a soft kiss to my forehead and whispers 'happy birthday' to me. Bobby and Matthew jump onto my mattress yelling for me to open my gift off them first.

"You'll love it!" Bobby promises and hands me a wrapped gift.

"Hmm, what is it?" I ask, shaking it a little.

"Open it and find out. Bobby and I used our pocket money to buy the silver frame for you this year!" Matthew tells me, excitedly.

"Matt!" Bobby yells. "You just gave it away."

I chuckle and roll my eyes before ripping off the pink paper. Under the wrapping is a silver frame that holds a drawing. At the top of the page are the words 'Our Family'. There's a big pink stick figure (dad), then a smaller one (Sue), then two identical boys with spiky hair that are obviously the twins. Besides them stands a taller girl with curly blonde hair and beside her is a boy with black hair, his pink hand holding hers.

"I love it! Thank you so much," I grin, leaning over to press small kisses to their cheeks.

"Eew," they moan, wiping their cheeks and jumping off the bed.

"You can open your gifts off Sue and I next," Dad says and hands me a large bag that holds what I guess to be my gifts.

"Thanks," I reply, opening the bag.

Inside is a short, strapless, black dress that's covered in sequins and black peep-toe heels with a singular silver flower on the side of the shoe. There's a big, black and silver clutch bag that matches the dress and shoes and when I open the bag I find money- a lot of money and a set of keys.

I look up in confusion at my parents. "Are we going somewhere?"

They laugh and Sue says, "No but… well, wait and soon enough you'll find out what's going on."

"Oh. Well, thanks. The outfit is beautiful and the money will come in handy. But the keys…" I trail off and shake my head. Sue said to wait so I will.

"Thank you."

"Your welcome," Dad says and walks over to press a kiss to my forehead. "We'll leave you alone to open your gifts from Percy."

I once again thank my family for my gifts as they walk out of my room. I turn to Percy once they've left and his lips instantly attack mine. I smile against his soft lips and pull away.

"Happy birthday," he whispers and pulls a box from behind his back.

"You didn't have to-" I start but Seaweed Brain cuts me off.

"Just open it," he says.

I laugh and do as he says. I rip the wrapping paper off the box and find what looks to be a shoebox. More shoes, I think to myself and shrug. I lift the lid and take out the white tissue paper that greets me. I frown when I find that there is no shoes in the box put instead two small cards.

I glance at Percy and he grins at me. "Have a look," he urges me. I turn back to the box and pick up the cards. My eyes widen when I see my name and picture on one card and Percy's on the other. They look like ID's, I realise. "Turn them over," Percy orders. I once again do as my boyfriend says and I gasp when I read the few words on the back of each of the cards.

'Enjoy your stay at the Lotus Hotel!'

"Oh my god!" I shriek, my eyes wide.

"Surprise! We're going to spend two days at the hotel. We leave at 12pm so you need to shower and get ready, birthday girl," Percy grins.

"Thanks, Seaweed Brain," I say and wrap my arms around his neck. "So, that's what the outfit and money is for. Is the key for our hotel room?"

"No. We have to get our key at the front desk. The key is for the ride outside," Percy explains, the huge smile never leaving his face.

I jump off my bed and run to my bedroom window. Parked outside my house is a shiny, red Maserati.

"No way," I breathe in disbelief. "That's for me?"

Percy nods.

"But I haven't got my drivers license yet," I remind him.

"I know. That's why I'll be driving you. Your dad has agreed to give you lessons as soon as we get back in two days," Percy replies.

"This is awesome! I don't believe this. The day has barely started and I already know this will be the best birthday ever," I say.

Percy comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist. He rests his chin on my shoulder before whispering, "You deserve everything you've got and much more, Wise Girl."

"Have fun!" my dad says, hugging me tight one last time before pulling away. "Remember to call me when you arrive and keep texting so we know you two are okay. Stop a few times on the road for a snack to eat so you don't get hungry."

"Okay, dad. Thank you so much for everything and I'm not just on about today, I mean everything you've ever given to me," I reply.

"You're welcome. Now, leave. It's a six-hour drive. As soon as you get there you can dress to party the night away," he smiles.

"I'm so excited," I grin and turn to Sue to give her a hug goodbye.

Five minutes later, Percy and I are finally in the car and driving down the street, our safety belts around us, music playing softly in the background and my family waving goodbye behind us. I sigh in contempt and relax against my black leather seat.

"Are you okay?" Percy asks, glancing at me before quickly fixing his eyes back on the road.

"Of course. I don't think I've ever been this excited in my entire life," I admit with a laugh.

"I know, me too. I knew you still wanted to tick everything off the list and I thought the Lotus Hotel would be perfect as a present. Obviously, it took some time to get your dad's permission but he agreed when I said we'd call twice a day so he knows that you're safe," Percy says.

"I only have three things to cross off," I remind him, my face heating up just a little as I remember what is on the list.

We stop at a red light and Percy turns to me, his own face a little pink. "We can do whatever you want."

I smile to myself, and whisper nervously, "Thanks."

We finally pull up outside the Lotus Hotel after six hours of driving and stare wide-eyed at the huge building in front of us. I never knew the place was this big and beautiful. Percy hops out of the car and hands my keys to a beaming man in a red suit.

My boyfriend comes over to my side of the car and opens the door for me. He takes my hand and helps me out before kissing my lips once and leading me down the stone path towards the entrance.

Percy opens the large glass door for me once we finish our short journey up the path and bows dramatically, "Let the fun begin…"
