Ch 1: Christmas Eve

Piper was getting ready for a night out with her friends. It was Christmas Eve and since she had turned twenty-one in June and had no plans for the evening, she decided to accept the invitation.

It wasn't like she had any plans in the first place. She didn't have a boyfriend, her father was in New Zealand for his latest movie and her mother was in Paris, presenting her Christmas line. By the way, her parents were Aphrodite and Tristan Mclean. Yes, the fashion designer and the famous actor. They traveled a lot and Piper was used to be alone.

But this Christmas was going to be better. She just knew it. She wasn't going to spend it curled up on the sofa watching some sappy comedy or one of those films where the family members try to get together for the holidays. She was actually going to go clubbing with her friends, have a drink or two. She had very good feeling about this particular evening.

Just as she applied her mascara the doorbell rang. She went to open the door to her cozy flat.

''Finally! I thought that you will leave us here to become ice statues. When did you turn into a girly-girl type of girl?'' her cousin Percy whined as soon as she came into view. That comment earned him a slap on the back of the head by his girlfriend Annabeth.

''Don't mind him. You look gorgeous by the way.'' She smiled at Piper sweetly.

''Thanks. Come in.'' Piper answered with a grin and stepped away of the door.

Annabeth and Percy were both twenty-two. They had met in high-school and immediately disliked each other. They were constantly arguing and fighting but after they both got lost during a school trip, they grew closer. Percy manned up and actually asked her to the prom during their last school year. She had said 'About time' before agreeing enthusiastically. They were inseparable since then.

''So are you ready?'' Annabeth asked then. She was dressed in midnight-blue dress which was barely reaching her knees. Her curly blond hair was put in a side braid. She was completely stunning, like always.

''Yep, I just need to grab my purse and coat.''

Piper put her long thick coat on and got her purse quickly. She glanced at the full-sized mirror in the hallway one last time to make sure she hadn't screwed the little make-up she had put on. She usually wasn't this concerned about her looks. She knew from her parents' works that those doll-like girls who were looking like owls with make up addiction were usually either mean and self-centered or shallow and dumb (A\N: no offense).

Piper wore a black dress that was clinging to her figure perfectly. Her mother had given in to her a week ago when Annabeth had announced the plans for Christmas Eve. Piper had to admit that her mother was genius when it came up to fashion. No wonder her carrier was so successful.

Her hair was still good. She had straightened her usually slightly curly strands, trying to look more natural. She had clipped back some of them at her left side too. It was simple, but it worked.

''Let's go, Silena and Beckendorf are going to wonder what is taking us so long.'' Percy hurried them both.

''Actually we are late because you don't have the habit to look at the clock. Seaweed brain.'' Annabeth concluded and gave her boyfriend a dirty look.

''Hey, if you are so smart. Then why didn't you call to remind me. You knew I would get carried away but you didn't do anything to stop it.'' He accused her.

''Yeah, put all the blame on me…'' Annabeth said rolling her startling grey eyes. Percy narrowed his sea green ones.

Piper rolled her eyes in exasperation then. This was usual for them. It wasn't like they were fighting really, just teasing each other in a…more drastic way. However, she was amazed that these two could live under the same roof without strangling each other but they were doing it. For the last half an year they were sharing a flat not far away.

Their arguing continued while the three of them were making their way towards the restaurant where Silena and Beckendorf along with Katie Gardner, Travis and Connor Stoll, Nico di Angelo, Grover Underwood and his girlfriend Juniper waited. Annabeth and Percy quieted down when the waitress came to take their orders.

After that dinner was peaceful, full with jokes and laughter.

It was around ten o'clock when they left the restaurant and headed to a night club, called Half-bloods. It was their favourite place in New York. They were frequently in there and were on first name basis with the security guards Chris Rodriguez and Frank Zang and the usual DJ Will Solace.

It was snowing heavily and the weather was quite chilly. The snow had started falling only the previous day and hadn't stopped ever since. Everything was covered in a white carpet and they had to be very cautious on the slippery path.

Everyone sighed when they entered the club. It wasn't as full of people as usual since Christmas Eve was a family holiday but still there were quite a lot people.

''Why don't you go to our table and we'll get the drinks. The first row's on me.'' Connor said and motioned for the boys to join him.

''The usual, right?'' Nico asked the girls.

''Of course.'' Everyone laughed and then they separated.

The girls made their way through the dancing people and sat in the far end of the room, their usual spot.

Piper looked around while taking off her coat. Most of the visitors were groups of two, three or four people. The loners were at the bar, as expected. The bar was along the opposite wall. There were ten booths like the one they were in and around twenty to thirty tables scattered around. In the middle of the place was the dance floor. The place wasn't huge but it was quite expensive. It was popular place among the wealthier people.

Piper then noticed another loud group, almost big enough as their own, seated a booth away from them. Her eyes scanned the people quickly noticing a girl with dark hair, royal-like features and red dress laughing, a girl with pale skin and spiky black hair and one with dark curly hair and dark skin. A boy with curly brown hair, who looked like an elf from this distance, was cracking jokes probably, making everyone else laugh. Piper's eyes stopped at a handsome blond guy but before she had a chance to take a better look at him, Silena brought her out of her reverie.

''Come on, Piper, we just have to dance. This song is amazing!'' she grinned then, pulling Piper along. Annabeth, Juniper and Katie joined them too and the girls mixed with the dancing crowd. Just then Piper recognized the song Die young by Ke$a. She laughed, following her friends' example and started to dance.

(Half an hour later…)

''I'm thirsty!'' Piper suddenly exclaimed through the loud music.

The girls have been skipping to their table occasionally just to take sip of their drinks and drag the boys with them. They haven't taken a seat since their arrival except for Juniper and Grover who were enjoying the alone time at the table.

''The glasses are empty.'' Annabeth announced.

''I'm going to the bar then. You guys want something?''

Percy and Annabeth were two distracted to answer. Silena and Beckendorf just shook their heads no. Travis and Katie didn't acknowledge anyone else around them. Connor had dragged Nico to go check out the single girls around.

That left Piper alone with the couples. She smiled to them and went to the bar.

''Hey.'' The bar tender greeted her with a charming smile. ''What can I get you?''

''Vodka with green apple juice please.'' She returned with a smile of her own. At the same time started the song Cliché by Alexandra Stan. Piper's smile got bigger and she started swaying and humming while waiting for her drink to be ready.

''Here you go!'' the bartender returned then and winked at her. She thanked with another smile and handed him the needed money.

Just when she was turning around a hand was placed on her shoulder.

''Hey sugar, you want me to buy you a drink?'' the unknown man spoke. He was clearly drunk already.

''No, I already get myself one. Bye.'' She said coldly and stepped away from him.

''Oh, come on babe, just one.'' He slurred while grabbing her wrist.

She then felt a burning sensation at the back of her neck. Someone else was watching her, she was sure of that. She didn't have time to think about it thought. She swiftly yanked her hand away and made two steps back from the drunken guy.

''Leave me alone.'' She said then glaring at the man.

She knew better than to show weakness but she wasn't that cool on the inside. She was ready to scream or run if necessary but the guy just pouted at her and left.

She took a gulp of her drink, breathed deeply in and then out and returned to her friends, who were at the table now.

The feeling at the back of her neck that she was watched was still there.

''Are you okay? I saw that idiot at the bar and he looked pretty drunk.'' Percy turned to Piper then, gaining her attention before she could look behind her and see who was watching her. Percy was acting like her big brother most of the times.

''Yeah, everything's fine, don't worry.'' She smiled reassuringly at her friends.

Beckendorf was about to say something but a loud squeal was heard. It came from Silena, who, hearing the song Higher by Taio Cruz, jumped and dragged Annabeth and Piper towards the dance floor once again. All of them laughed at her excitement.

Soon after that Katie and Travis along with Percy and Beckendorf joined them. Percy threw one dangerous glare behind Piper and then motioned for her to stay close. Curious, she turned around towards the bar and saw the drunken stranger making his way through the crowd with a devilish smile meant for her. She stepped backwards and that way her cousin was separating her from the stranger. She felt panic slowly rising in her. That's why she hated going out without a date. She was a magnet for trouble of all kinds.

Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder. Piper yelped and turned around just to be face to face with the blond haired guy she saw before. He looked around her age with bright blue intimidating eyes. He was well-build and around a head taller than Piper. She was sure that she hadn't seen him before that night.

The guy glanced behind her and his eyes narrowed.

''Pretend that we know each other.'' He said with dark controlled voice.

Piper managed to nod while staring at the newcomer. He placed his hands on her waist and she automatically put hers around his neck. They started dancing.

''Who are you?'' she asked bluntly after a while. Some part of her mind acknowledged the fact that she was rude to her saviour but he was a stranger too. He could actually be worse than the drunken one behind her. However, she couldn't find it in her to be scared from the blond.

''Sorry 'bout this. My friends are over there.'' He said apologetically and looked towards a now empty booth. ''I saw that you were in trouble earlier and decided to interfere this time.''

The puzzle peaces fell to their places in Piper's head while the song All around the world by Justin Bieber started.

''Were you stalking me?'' she smiled at him, almost teasing.

He easily fell in step with her.

''Well…you are a beautiful girl without a date. It was nearly impossible to resist you.'' He smiled coyly and spun her around.

When they faced each other again, she was blushing tomato red. Their bodies went closer than before and they started dancing in perfect sync. Piper smiled at the lyrics of the song.

''He is gone.'' The blond guy announced then. Piper looked at his unreadable face and tried to hide her disappointment.

''And you are leaving me.'' She tried to cover up her emotions with a teasing smile but the bitterness was still evident in her voice.

''Not if you want me to stay.'' He admitted looking straight in her eyes.

She just shook her head and his hands locked at her back.

Baby what you doing? where you at? where you at?
Why you acting so shy? holding back, holding back
We're not the only ones doing it like that, it like that
So DJ bring that, bring that, bring that, bring that back

''My name is Jason by the way.'' He said in her ear then, making her shiver. How this stranger was able to affect her like that?!

''Piper.'' She breathed out.

You shine just like the sun while the moon and the stars reflect your light
Beauty revolves around you
So you like that?

He smiled brilliantly at her, bringing her impossibly close and just then she was able to see the details about him. His eyes had some grey streaks in them. They were hiding playfulness and mischief. They looked like the sky. There was a small scar on his upper lip. It looked good on him.

A new song started: Turn me on by Nicki Minaj and David Guetta.

Jason spun Piper once again and now her back was against his chest. Their hands were joined on her stomach and they continued dancing in a more sexy way.

Piper glanced at her friends. Nico had found himself a date too-the girl with spiky black hair, one of Jason's friends. Piper could now see that her eyes were bright electric blue, the same colour as Jason's. Hm…

Annabeth and Silena smirked at Piper as soon as they spotted each other. She blushed but grinned at them too. She then decided to concentrate on the drop-dead gorgeous guy behind her who was nuzzling at her neck, planting small kisses here and there.

After a while he led her to an empty table, away from her and his friends. They spent the night talking, laughing, flirting and dancing some more.

Eventually, Piper was called because they were heading home. Neither she nor Jason looked pleased with that.

''It was nice meeting you Jason. And thanks for the help.'' Piper smiled knowingly at him and hugged him.

''It was my pleasure, trust me.'' He whispered in her ear, making her shiver.

They exchanged numbers and Piper left but not before kissing Jason on the cheek. She exited the bar, not noticing Jason's grin.

''So who was the blond cutie?'' Katie asked while they were walking. Her comment made Travis pout but no one acknowledged him.

Piper looked ahead of her trying to suppress her sly smile from showing on her face.

''Oh she likes him, don't you Piper?'' Annabeth teased her.

''No, she like-likes him! Eeeep, finally!'' Silena was practically jumping up and down from excitement. Beckendorf was chuckling next to her.

''She isn't even listening.'' Nico snickered.

''She is in Loveland.'' Travis and Connor exclaimed together, laughing.

''She is in…What's his name?'' Percy asked then which made Grover and Juniper laugh and Annabeth to roll her eyes at her boyfriend's childishness.

Piper wasn't even listening to their conversation otherwise she would have smacked the half of them by now. She was indeed preoccupied with thoughts. Questions like 'Did he really like me' or 'would he even call' were swimming in her head along with memories about his warm smile and strong arms around her.

The last thought that popped up in her mind before she fell asleep that night was that this Christmas turned out to be way better than she expected.

A\N: Finished! Look out for the second chapter tomorrow. I hope that you liked it so far. Please, review and let me know.

Also, I don't know exactly what kind of weather New York has around Christmas but I remember watching a Christmas episode of CSI: New York and there was plenty of snow so…yeah. And of course Home alone 2.

Have a nice evening everyone!
