Percy looked at himself in the mirror. You can do this. You can do this. He reassured himself. He ran his fingers through his black hair nervously. Then he went into his pocket and pulled out a small red velvet box. He opened it and inside was a diamond ring with a huge square diamond. He had been saving up for months to buy her ring to finally propose with. Percy closed the box and put the box back in his pocket. He ran his fingers through his hair then began to pace back and forth. What if she says no? What if I don't ask her the right way? What if this is a horrible idea? What if she laughs at me? Could this ruin everything? Suddenly he heard the sound of the front door opening in the other room.

"Seaweed brain? Are you here?" Annabeth shouted.

Percy exited the bathroom. He walked towards Annabeth who was in the living room. She hugged him then kissed him on the cheek. He looked at her, she was as beautiful as always. Her blonde hair messy in her face and her beautiful eyes sparkled in the light. She looked like an angel. So much had changed since their days at camp half blood. The two of them were now 30 years old and shared an apartment together in NYC. Annabeth had went to college to become an architect and now she was one of the best in the New York State. Percy decided to go into the field of police work since he was pretty good at kicking ass. He was pretty good at the fighting and figuring out cases. But tended to get bored when he was assigned to a simple case, or when he had to arrest someone and they didn't fight back. He was used to the fights. But he liked his job.

Percy smiled. "I want to take you out tonight, it will be my treat."

"That's sweet," Annabeth replied. "But I'm really tired I don't really feel like it. I had so much stuff to do at work. I really just wana go to bed."

She started to walk towards the bedroom. Percy ran towards her.

"Wait but…um….Thalia is in town and she wanted to meet up with us at this restaurant."

Annabeth looked a Percy as if he was crazy.

"I just talked to Thalia yesterday, she said she was in Ohio with the huntresses on some mission. "

"Oh well…..um….she….uhhh…."

Percy was so nervous he was starting to sweat.

"Percy, are you feeling okay?"

"I`m fine." he told her.

"Then why are you acting so weird?"

"I…I want to ask you something."

"Then just ask me, why we have to go to restaurant for you to-"She gasped, she figured it out. Then she smiled and put her hand over her mouth as if she was surprised.

Percy got down on one knee and held her hand in his. He decided now was a good time as any, I mean she already knew.

"Annabeth chase, you have been my best friend since we were 12. From the first moment I saw you I thought you were the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. You've been the best part of my life for 18 years. We've had our disagreements in the past but I've never loved someone as much as I love you."

Annabeth started to cry.

"I want to be with you forever," Percy continued. "I want to grow old together, I want you to be my wife." Percy went into his pocket and pulled out the box, he open the box to her. "Annabeth Chase will you marry me?"

At this point Annabeth was crying even more.

"Of course I will!"

Percy smiled this giant smile then stood up. Annabeth gave his a big hug then kissed him on his lips. Then Percy handed her the ring and she put it on.
