Mount Olympus [5]

Jace

He sighs and leans forward to look me in the eyes.

"I'm just here to warn you," he says, "Things are about to get hectic for you, both mentally and physically. The other part of you... It's awakening. Just be careful."

Rayah

Are you kidding me?

Losing it, I stand and look the guy in the eyes, mine turning red, "Get. out. Or I'll burn your a*s off."

Jace

I stand and wrap an arm around Rayah's waist. The guy sighs and stands, studying her before flashing to the door.

"You'll thank me later," he says, "When you're going through everything and you don't know... You'll need me around. That's all."

He disappears and I shake my head.

Rayah

I swallow and plop on the couch, Thank you, for scaring the hell out of me on my Birthday...

Jace

I sigh and plop beside her, "Sorry. This is my fault. He wouldn't show up if not for me."

Rayah

I shrug, "It's okay."

Jace

I shake my head, "No, it's not. Not today."

Rayah

I sigh and smile, "Make it up to me then."

Jace

I smile and study her, "How?"

Rayah

I smile, "You choose."

Jace

I smile back and kiss her, closing my eyes.

Rayah

He kisses me and I close my eyes as well, smiling.

Jace

I pull her onto my lap and keep my arms around her.

Rayah

He pulls me onto his lap and I keep smiling, my arms draping around his neck.

Spoiler

Fade out? Or not let them go that far?

Jace

I smile back and tighten my grip.
