Mount Olympus [2]

Jace

Nic makes himself comfortable on the couch, studying her sister, and I follow Rayah into the kitchen, looking with her.

Rayah

I find one and set it on the mini bar we have, knowing she'll probrably drink it all within five minutes. Jesse glances at Nic before someone bangs on the door.

I run over and answered it, seeing Jackie with a slash across her cheek and her arms crossed. I let her in and she makes her way to Jesse, pulling her aside to tell her something.

Jace

I lean against one of the walls, waiting for Rayah to come back, while Nic pouts and thinks about something, staying put.

Rayah

I smile at Jace and walk back to him, sighing.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Jackie

I talk to Jesse about what happened and she nods, heading upstairs to get towels. My eyes catch Nic and I flash a smile, "What are you doing here?"

Jace

I smile at Rayah and quickly kiss her, "What's next?"

``````````````````
Nic

Jackie catches sight of me and I stand, flashing a smile, "Your...cousin or whatever said it was fine, so I tagged along with them."

I notice the slash across her cheek but don't say anything, not wanting to act all cozy or whatever just yet.

Well...I only get one kiss....so maybe I should make this relationship last a little longer than my past few...seeing as...sadly to say, that was my first kiss. Ugh. So complicated. Stop thinking, Nic.

Rayah

I smile at Jace and kiss him back quickly, leaning against the wall next to me, "Don't know, all I want to do is get drunk," I smirk.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Jackie

I nod and smile, Jesse coming down and dabbing my cheek, "Stay still."

I squeeze my eyes shut, "Uh, yeah...That hurts..." I mutter.

She punches me in the arm, "Stop being a priss and stop moving," She chuckles.

Jace

I flash a smile and shake my head at her, wrapping my arms around her and setting a hand on her stomach, "Can't do that...not off of alcohol anyway..."

`````````````````````
Nic

I just watch, incredibly flustered at it all, and raise an eyebrow.

God...that's like taking a bullet out of Jace. Except...that's only a cut and Jace wasn't ever really shot... Or was he?

Rayah

I sigh, "What can I get drunk off then?"

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Jackie

She finishes and takes a deep breath, "There, all better," She says like I'm five. I glare at her playfully and she flashes a smile, walking back upstairs. I sigh and see the scotch on the mini bar, walking over to it. I lean against the bar and just jug it.

Jace

I smile and shrug, "Things."

````````````````
Nic

The other one disappears and Jackie heads to the mini bar. I, unsure as what to do, stand and walk over to her.

I really have no purpose here...do I?

"Hey," I flash a smile, "If you don't mind my asking...what happened?"

Rayah

I smile, kissing him, "What kind of things?"

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Jackie

Nic walks over to me and I set the scotch down, flashing a smile.

"Crashed a car," I shrug, "Nothing serious."

Jace

I smile and kiss her back, "You tell me."

`````````````````
Nic

I nod slowly, glancing away in an attempt to seem as if this is normal conversation.

Whoa..Who turned me into a Jace around girls? Where's the amazing Nic I used to know?

"So, um, your name's Jackie, right?" I look back at her, holding out my hand, "Nic. I don't think we introduced ourselves upon our last encounter..."

Rayah

I wrap my arms around his shoulders, keeping him against the wall, "What 'bout you?"

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Jackie

I shake his hand, "Yeah..." I smile, resting my elbows on the bar. I see Rayah and Jace...making out...and I look away, shuddering, "He's your brother?" I ask, gesturing to the couple.

Jace

I smile as she wraps her arms around my shoulders, keeping me against the wall, "If that's what you want, I'm sure it's possible."

````````````````
Nic

I glance at Jace and make a nasty face before looking back at her and regaining my composure.

"Unfortunately, but only partially," I flash a smile, "We don't share a set of parents but we were raised together. We call each other brothers. His blood brother is back home."

Rayah

I nod and close my eyes, taking in the moment.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Jackie

I flash a smile and nod, looking up at him, "Did you enjoy you're kiss?" I smirk.

Jace

I smile and close my eyes as well, tightening my grip around her.

Nic

I smirk back and sigh, crossing my arms, "Very much so...but to truly judge it...I think I'll need a second one."
