The New York Ruller

Percy's POV

"Percy, l'm ready!" Annabeth screamed from the bathroom.

That made me happy--l'd been waiting for her for an hour sitting on the sofa. As Annabeth said that, she came out from the bathroom. Wait, let's back it up.

First, l need to tell you briefly what's happened over the last three years. After defeating Gaea (l'm not going to tell you more about it because my new friend Rick tells you in his books), the whole camp was ruined. I felt like there was a black hole in my chest taking all the good in the world. But soon everything started to change. We rebuilt the camp (I wish you could've seen Annabeth's face! My Wise Girl was so excited to create the camp of her dreams), we united with the Romans and became one big family.

After that it was time to go to college. Annabeth and I, along with our parents (Oh, yeah, our parents met each other... l didnt thought she could be that red) decided that we both could live in my parents' house. Actually, it was a smart decision because Annabeth was hired onto the Architecture faculty at NYU. Her job looked super difficult. She had been working hard on some projects, studying, learning and so on. Every time she got home she was too exhausted to even talk. On the other hand, l had been working in the New York Aquarium, and that job had some advantages.There was water and l earned enough money to pay the bills and to buy the occasional something for my Wise Girl.

These last two years we spent together have been like never before. We happily woke up in the morning, smiling at each other, sometimes I made breakfast in bed for Annabeth. We walked in parks holding hands. I saw the most amazing thing in world in the world everyday: the beautiful face of my happy girlfriend.

But, over the last few mounths, a thought has started to creep into my mind. I wanted to make her happier. l wanted to marry her. Since that night, l started to work more to gain money for a ring. I came back home always tired at eleven and sometimes I wouldn't see Annabeth for a couple of days, because l always got up at five in the morning. We had a lot of arguments about that, but l didnt give up my dream, my decision, l didnt tell her anything. Every night l lay in bed with my arms aroung her and dreamt about the day l could call her Mrs. Jackson, could put on her elegant finger a wedding ring and l fell asleep with that thought, smiling.

So, after a few months l earned enough to buy the ring l chose earlier. It was made of a two-color gold and a diamond ice surface with three small green, white and grey diamonds. After that, l started to think about the day and the place and l chose the date when we first met and the restaurant that(l searched) was a five-star one. Why l decided to do that? Well... I don't know, I just wanted something cool, beautiful and amazing for Annabeth. I thought that it's gonna be unromantic if l propose to her like all others in the park during the sunset or on the beach during the sunset or...

So, as you can understand, today is the day. Yesterday l told Annabeth that l had planned something and that she has to be ready by 6 pm. Annabeth guessed that it was something to do with the day we met, so the whole day she spent choosing the dress and making other stuff to make herself look more beautiful and gorgeous than she already is.

So, here was the result: I turned my head to face Annabeth and...

"Annabeth! You are..." I said looking at her with my eyes open. "So... um... I... Just... Um..." I wanted to say something cool, but none of the words that came to my mind described my love the best.

"What? Is something wrong? Percy, how do l look? Bad? Oh... I should have chosen another dress..." Annabeth looked down at herself. She wore a black dress, narrowed at the waist. It was pretty long. The back of the dress was lacy and opened her beautiful body. She looked like... well, like a godess.

"Hey, Annabeth..." I walked toward her. "Everything is okay. I just have no words to describe how beautiful you are." I took her hands and kissed in the connor of her lips. She blushed.

"Thanks..." She looked in my eyes.

"Annabeth Chase... I want to marry you! Now!" I told myself, l nearly said it loudly. What I really said was "So, um, if you are ready, let's go."

"Where are we going?" She asked, putting on a pair of black high heels (when did she learn how to walk in them?).

"It's a secret." I smiled and then one thought came to my mind. "Oh, holy Hera!" I said and rushed to our room-l nearly forgot a bouquet and the ring.

"What happened?" Annabeth asked me.

"Nothing!" l screamed from the room taking the bouquet of white roses in one hand and puting the box into a pocket of the black jacket.
