Hi, I' am so sorry about not updating, for a whole week, I know, I have been on holiday, and unfortunately, I could not take my laptop, uggh, anyway, I will put the names of the people who got what Percy is going to ask Annabeth right, at the end, so here is finally chapter 13.
Percy's pov:
Still 24th December, Friday, about 5.35pm
I guided Annabeth down to the place I planned our date, by the way, I kind of bribed the park ranger to let me rent this area, for me and Annabeth, after all I think she told me once if anyone would ask her that question, she would want it to be in a forest, for some unknown reason, I just hope she wont realise why I brought her to a forest, oh who am I kidding she's a wise girl I'm 99.9% sure she will know why we are here, oh well all I can do is hope for the best.
"Ok wise girl, I'm going to put my hands over your eyes now, so you cant see where we are going, just letting you know, I don't want my wise girl getting scared, so, left foot, right foo-" "Ok seaweed brain I get it, and why are you panicking, you only panic when you are hiding something?" Shoot, she knows me better than I know myself.
I carried on with my hands over Annabeth's eyes, it wasn't to far, luckily.
Annabeth's pov:
My seaweed brain, really is a seaweed brain isn't he? He needs to learn how to blindfold people better, I could see right through his hands, we were in pinecone forest, I only know that because sometimes when I go on my morning jogs, I run through it as a shortcut, to get to Starbucks, I have never really taken in all the scenery though.
"Ok wise girl, I' am going to take my hands away, now, and I know you don't like surprises, so sorry, but I think you may like it unless of course it goes wrong, which it shouldn't but you can never be to sure can you?" he said, nervously muttering more and more towards the end, what is he so nervous about?
When Percy took his hands away I gasped in shock, wow, it was a cliff with a waterfall behind it, Percy, had some pillows and some blankets ready on top of a pick knick blanket, there were fake candles around, I silently laughed at that, because I know how clumsy seaweed brain is sometimes, then I spotted a pick knick basket, probably filled with yummy food.
Percy took my hand and guided, me down towards the little area he set up, overall it was perfect, I was with Percy, what else would I need?
"So wise girl, do you like, it," Percy said, as he pulled another blanket over us, and came closer to me, to keep me warm, but hey for Christmas time, it wasn't to cold. "I love it, and Percy, why were you being so nervous earlier, I could tell you were rambling."
He didn't answer, instead he smirked, and once again, he stood up, but instead of taking my hand, he picked me up bridal style, and pulled me closer to him.
We seemed to be heading down by the waterfall, and me being me, was right, we were down by the water, and wow, there was a huge pinecone tree, behind where Percy was stood, and firefly's, even though it wasn't very dark yet.
"Well seaweed you obviously brought me down here for a reason," I said, and all he did, was keep quiet, and smirked, and I kind of, half smirked half death glared at him, what was going on in that seaweed filled brain of his.
"Well wise girl, would you be patient, and you kind of need to turn around." I just sighed and did as he said.
I could hear him struggle to get something out of his pocket, and at that point I had no idea what was going on, until...
"Wise girl, I may not have known you for years, even though it feels like even more than that but, I think you are the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I know I'm a bit of a pain to be around sometimes, but, I love you more than anything in the world, so wise girl, will you... turn around,"
I did as he said and blinked in confusion.
He grabbed my hands, and gently squeezed them, then went on to say, "Do you remember, on the 1st July, when you thought I was going to propose to you, and your exact words, were, ' Whoa, your not proposing marriage to me are you, because right now I really don't think you should ask me that' I never forgot that day, especially those words 'right now' at first I didn't know whether it was a mistake that you said them or it was for real, but I came to a conclusion that it was the second one, and after nearly six months, I'm going to ask you a question, so..
Annabeth, I now know your middle name, Aria Chase, will you marry me?"
I just stood there I think the huge grin on my face kind of gave what my answer would be away
"Yes, seaweed brain, of course I will." I think tears were running down my face, I ran to Percy, and leaped up to him, he caught me, and whispered in my ear,
"I love you wise girl, so much I don't think I could cope without you,"
"I love you to seaweed brain, even more than architecture." We both laughed, and he pulled away to kiss me, and at that point, he said to me,
"So does wise girl, want to see her ring then." I then realised he was still holding a velvet box in his hand, instead of answering I attempted to smirk at him, but I was to happy, and it ended up into a smile, he slipped the ring on my finger, and wow, it was a silver band, then in the middle, there was a big diamond, and all around it tiny little diamonds, then on either side, medium sized diamonds, with tiny diamonds around them, it was perfect.
"Wow, seaweed brain, I love it,"
"Hey, lets get back, and tell everyone the good news," I smiled and nodded in agreement, with his statement.
We walked back to the car, which was still parked in the ice rink car park, Percy's arm, wouldn't leave my shoulders, at all, not even for second, when we were walking back, not like I wanted him to move his arm or anything though, it was actually really sweet.
When we got in the car, the first thing Percy said to me was, "You know all them weeks ago, when we were talking about Jason and Piper's wedding, and you said, you had always wanted to be proposed to in a forest, well I actually remembered and rented that are for us, so I'm glad you liked it."
"Aww, seaweed brain you actually remembered something, and yes, I loved it, Percy you are the best fiancé anyone could ever want, wow, that will be different to say." we both laughed, Percy told me before, that he had been planning that for almost 3 weeks all by himself, he hadn't told anyone, which I was surprised at, but he said, he wanted to wait for my answer first, and he wanted to tell everyone together.
We arrived back at our flat, to find, the twins, on the floor, on there tablets, my dad, and step mum, in the kitchen, Thalia, Nico, Jason, and Piper, all in the living room watching TV. They didn't even notice we had walked in.
"Hello, anyone, hey Percy, why are Jason and Piper here?" I said the hello to everyone, then the last part to Percy.
We walked over to Thalia, I tapped her on the shoulder, she turned around, and unfortunately for me, I tapped he with my left hand, the hand, with the ring on, when she looked over, I yanked my hand back but she caught it, and gasped, she stood up, and screamed,
"Everyone, Annie's engaged, wait, when, what, how?" she looked very puzzled, and Percy replied,
"Well if you had noticed us walking into our own flat, the maybe you would know what happened, wouldn't you," After that my step mum, and Piper, literally came straight at me, they grabbed my hand, and there eyes instantly landed on my ring, I looked behind me to see what Percy was doing, and he was telling everyone about our night, my only worry is my, mum, dad, and my older brother Malcolm, well tomorrows Christmas, so maybe, we can tell everybody tomorrow as well, like Percy's mum and step dad, and my mum, and brother, yeah, that should work.
After a couple of hours, our friends left and the rest of us, decided to go to bed.
Percy was in bed first, I went to the bathroom, to put on my pyjamas, then climbed in bed next to Percy, as he put his arm around my shoulders, and I put my head on his chest, and I have to be honest, I think that was the best I had slept in a long time.
So that was chapter 13, and he proposed, so well done to,
