I do not own any of the characters or the plot to the book. I hope you like it, i'm a huge fan and have read all the books from cover to cover! Comment if you liked it, or if you didn't. Let me know if I should continue the story or create another for any of the other characters. This is for the fans of the amazing series.
As Jason approached Piper's door, he almost tumbled over.
"Damn waves" He muttered to himself. He hated the ocean, the sky had always been his domain, his safe place. And frankly, he needed one right now. After his less than honourable attempt at defending the ship from Chrysaor and his weird…dolphin pirates, he needed a pick me up and there was only one person who could do that.
Jason still remembered that day at the Grand Canyon, when he woke up holding her hand. As surprises come… that one wasn't bad. How she was about to fall to her death until he caught her, those few moments when she was in his arm, hovering in the air and nothing seemed to matter.
Jason almost slam-dunked into the wall before he realised he was day dreaming again. He propped himself on the wall for support. He turned and looked into one of the port-holes of the Argo II and saw his reflection. His blonde locks had gotten longer since his first quest. That seemed like a life time ago. His eyes seemed more mature, somehow, like he'd seen things that no one should.
He carried on to Piper's door. He knocked. No one answered, he opened the door ajar and peered inside. All the lights were off except for her lamp, which was dimly lit by her bed side. There she was, at the far end of her bed, sitting up right. She was hugging her knees to her chest, burying her head in them. Her fair hair was thrown over her knees, you could still see some of the braids in her hair. She had earphones on (probably why she didn't answer). She was just wearing her orange Camp-Half blood shirt and her trademark denim shorts.
He sat on the bed next to her and she bolted upright. For a moment, her eyes looked glossy and ridden with concern. "Are you okay, Pipes?" he asked.
"Just fine." She stated, she then immediately tried to cover up her emotions. She shot up and pulled her headphones out of her ears. She walked over to her set of small drawers across the room and put her iPod in the first one. She stood with her hands on the drawer for a time looking down, unable to look at him. She suddenly turned to face him, leaning on the dresser. "Actually…I lied" she said, her voice wavering.
"Piper…"
"Leo said we were about to land in Rome" she said, anxious to change the topic. She put her hand to her mouth and started biting her nails. But she never did that. Her eyes looked as they were made of glass, trying not to crack. He was so confused, yet he knew exactly what she meant. "It's going to be all right"
"Yeah, well, what if it isn't? Then what?" Now she was really trying not to cry. Jason got up and walked towards her. She continued.
"I can't lose you. Not now. Not when the world is going to end." By this time Jason had cupped her face in his hands and kissed her. Her warm lips matched his like a puzzle piece. He could do this for a life time. He pulled away and looked into her eyes. "You never will, Piper" He whispered. She looked up at him, barely able to make eye contact.
"But how do you know that?"
"Because…I…" Why were his hands sweating? He'd practised this a million times. He was certain of how he felt, of how he needed this girl.
"I love you, Piper"
The moments that came after this were the scariest of his life, he almost wished he were back in Wolf House. She looked up at him, dumbfounded. She tried to speak. Her eyes were as big as the moon.
"I've been waiting so long to hear you say that" She then got off the dresser, wrapped her arms around his neck and started kissing him. It all happened so fast, Jason couldn't even register what was happening. When he did, he liked it. He put his arms around her waist. She leaned on him, pushing him over to the bed. He toppled over, lying flat on the mattress with Piper on top of him. His hands were all over her, her neck down to her to her waist, feeling the curves of her body. She was intoxicating. She was sitting on his hips, arching her back, kissing him up and down. She pulled away and looked him in the eyes.
"I need to give you something-"
"Piper…"
"In case something happens to one of us in Rome." He looked into her eyes. All different colours as usual.
"Are you sure?" She kissed him lightly on this lips.
"I'm sure"
Hoped you liked it, let me know if i should continue.
