Chapter 16: What are you hiding?

                                    

                                          
Perci P.O.V
                          
Me and Wally have been together for a year now and we have been better then ever just like he promised.
                          
Suddenly a huge idea just popped into my head as me and Wally layed in my bed.
                          
"Hey Wally?" I say trying to get his attention.
                          
"Yes my love." He says smiling up at me.
                          
"I want you to move in with me." I just blurt out surprising myself.
                          
"Really?" He asked just as surprised as I was. 
                          
"I mean yeah you don't have to and I'd completely understand if you didn't want to." I say quicky before he pulls me into a kiss.
                          
"I'd love to." He tells me.
                          
I mentally scream happy that he agreed on such short notice.
                          
"I guess we could go talk to your mom and get your stuff today...or when ever your ready."
                          
"We can just go tomorrow." He tells me. 
                          
"Will you be staying the night to night or no?" I ask.
                          
"Yeah I'm staying." He says stealing another  kiss from my lips.
                          
He pulls me into his arms as we lay together in comfortable silence staring at the fish above until I eventually fall asleep.
                          
Wally P.O.V
                          
As soon as Perci fell asleep I grabbed my phone and texted Dick.
                          
Me/Wally: Hey Dick I have a question.
                          
Dick: Ask away.
                          
Me/Wally: Perci asked me to move in and I said yes....do you think I'm making the right decision?
                          
Dick: Wally this is huge bro congratulations now you can wake up to a pretty face everyday. An besides its obvious you both love each other so why not.
                          
Me/Wally: Thanks Dick that ment a lot but I have to go get some sleep if in going to get my stuff.
                          
Dick: ok just tell me if any thing else big happens I'm right across the street if you need me.
                          
Me/Wally: of course.
                          
I quietly put my phone down and snuggle up against Perci. Soon falling asleep with her in my arms.
                          
Time skip to morning.   
                          
Wally P.O.V
                          
I woke up with Perci still in my arms so I slowly turned around to look at her clock. 
                          
It was already 10:39 and I debated on wither or not I was going to wake her up. I decided against it she deserved her sleep.
                          
I quietly slipped out of bed and made my way to the kitchen thinking about what I could make for breakfast when a note appeared on the counter.
                          
Dear Wally
So I noticed you were going to cook dinner as a romantic gesture so I'm going to give you some advice for breakfast in bed and maybe you'll even get a treat 😉😉
Anyway I but strawberries and chocolate in the fridge so all you have to do is melt the chocolate and dip the strawberries in it. I also put food in the fridge so you'd be able to make all her favorites. 
Also Poesiden told me to tell you to tell Percy her Royal Coronation is in three weeks.
And a little advice when she's done eating her breakfast ask her what she's been hiding and if she asks what you mean all you need to say is Aphrodite.
                          
B
                          
y the time I was done reading the letter my face was bright red. I stared at the letter for about 5 minute before I started cooking breakfast.
                          
Once I was done I carried it all upstairs and setted everything on her desk so I could wake her up.
                          
"Perci." I said gently. "Perci wake up."
                          
"10 more hours." She mumbled making me laugh.
                          
"No wake up now sweetheart." I say gently shaking her.
                          
She rubs her eyes a few times and sits up to look around the room until her eyes land on me.
                          
"Why did you wake me up?" She asked me sounded a little irritated. 
                          
"Cause I made you this." I said stepping out the way so she could see her breakfast.
                          
"Thank you Wally." She said smiling and teary eyed. 
                          
"What's wrong." I ask her.
                          
"Nothing it just means alot to me so thank you." 
                          
She quickly eats her food and jumps out of bed in a hurry like she was things to do.
                          
"Can we talk?" I ask her.
                          
"Yeah of course what is it." She ask stopping what she was doing.
                          
"Persephone Jackson I've loved you sense I first laid eyes on you and I don't know what I'd do without you. I know we've had our ups and downs but none of that matters as long as I'm with you." I rush out.
                          
"Wally wh-" she tries to say before I cut her off.
                          
"Please let me finish...anyways I want to spend the rest of my life with you so will you Persephone Jackson marry me?" 
                          
Tears were falling from her eyes and outlining her checks. I got nervous for a moment I didn't think she was going to answer.
                          
"Y-yes I'll marry you." She says jumping into my arms as I placed the ring I bought a year ago on her finger.
                          
"I have a serious question Perci so please don't lie to me." I say.
                          
"Of course we can talk what is it Wally?"
                          
"What have you been hiding from me? I know your hiding something so please don't say it's nothing" I ask her deadly serious.
                          
"What do you mean?" 
                          
"Aphrodite said it was something I needed to know so I had to ask you. Probably because it wasnt her place and she didn't want to betray you guy's friendship ." I tell her.
                          
She looks really nervous like she's about to have a nervous break down. She starts scratching her neck nervously trying to find the right words to say.
                          
I knew what ever she had to say was about to be huge by I just wasn't sure if that was good or bad.
                          
"I-I-I" I take her hand she squeeze it giving her a reassuring nod for her to continue.
