Parties and Eye Rolls
Thalia hated parties; especially the ones thrown by the stupid kids at school. She looked around trying to spot Annabeth or Percy. No such luck when it came to that. Thalia mumbled something under her breath of course this was going to be a long night. She would have much rather spent her night watching some cheesy horror movie rather than sitting at this stupid party and wasting her time.
She sighed and continued to sip on her pop when Percy and Annabeth finally showed up. Their faces were flushed and she could just barely see a faint pink tint on Percy's swollen lips. Of course they were off making out somewhere. Thalia rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"Having fun?" Percy asked her as they got closer. His arm was around Annabeth's waist.
"I hate parties." Thalia rolled her eyes.
"You and Nico both." Percy snorted.
"They're loud and obnoxious and I can totally think of better ways to spend my Friday nights." Thalia said.
"Come on Thals lighten up." That definitely wasn't Annabeth or Percy.
She turned to find Luke Castellan standing there in all his smug glory. She rolled her eyes, "Should've known you were crawling around here."
He chuckled, "I only came because Percy told me you were coming."
She rolled her eyes once again, "Did you?"
He nodded, "Of course I did, I'm in college I could totally find better parties to go to."
"Well why don't you go find yourself one of those parties?" she snorted.
"Because you're not at one of those parties." He said mimicking her voice perfectly.
She didn't respond. Personally she considered Luke an idiot. They had at one point been best friends until he got all popular in high school before he graduated. He became a jerk and began ignoring Thalia and some of his other friends for blonde bimbos on the cheer team and his football friends. Now if he thinks that he can just come back around and tell Thalia that he missed her he could take those 'I miss yous' and shove them up his ass because she wasn't in the mood to hear it.
Luke grinned, "Do you want to dance?"
She raised an eyebrow, "With you?"
"No with Bob Saget." He rolled his eyes, "Of course I meant with me."
"Well then no I don't want to dance." She shrugged crossing her arms over her chest.
"Come on Thals it'll be fun." He said.
She looked at him and shook her head, "I don't think so Luke."
"Just one song." He begged.
"If I didn't know any better I would say you actually want to hang out with me." She laughed darkly.
"What if I told you I do want to hang out with you then would you dance with me?" he asked
She looked at him, "No."
"Come on Thals just one song and then if you'd like I'll stay out of your hair and you can come back to your little corner." He pleaded.
Thalia rolled her eyes, "Fine one dance."
"You're saying that now but you'll want more than one song I promise you." He grinned waggling his eyebrows in the process.
She rolled her eyes, "We'll see about that."
On the dance floor she tried to ignore the stupid song that was playing. Luke smiled at her and placed his hands on her hips. She knotted her fingers in his shirt and looked at him. The song was a moderately slow song and she must admit that Luke had some expert moves on the dance floor making her want to continue dancing with him.
"So I think we need to talk a bit." He murmured in her ear.
"Talk about what?" Thalia asked slightly edgy.
"What happened two years ago." He whispered.
"Why on Earth do we need to talk about that?" she asked.
Luke pulled her closer, "Because we just need to."
Thalia rolled her eyes, "What if I don't want to talk about it?"
"Well then that'll be something we'll have to work around." He whispered his warm breath hung just over her lips. She could almost taste the alcohol and spearmint on it as it hung there in a heavy cloud.
"I don't think it's something we should discuss here at a party." Thalia rolled her eyes.
Luke chuckled, "Well then it looks like you'll be dancing with me for the rest of the night because I'm not letting you go until we talk about this."
Thalia shook her head, "I really don't care if you make me dance with you all night but I'm not going to talk to you about what happened."
Luke smiled and began to slide his hand up her side so that it rested on the back of her neck. His long fingers tangled themselves in her hair and he brought her face closer a few centimeters.
"You don't know how much I want to kiss you." He whispered.
She chuckled breathily, "What makes you think that I want to kiss you?"
"I don't know, maybe the fact that I'm basically irresistible." He whispered slyly.
Thalia laughed, "In your dreams."
She could feel his fingers tangle themselves even more into her hair and he crashed his lips to hers. His lips were warm and slightly chapped and they tasted like beer and vodka. She found her lips moving in rhythm with his much to her surprise.
He pulled away and rested his forehead on hers, "You're amazing."
"Yeah I think you realized that too late." She laughed.
He kissed her again his other arm slid up to the small of her back and he pressed her body closer to his. This lifted her up a few centimeters off the ground and the kiss was causing her to feel lightheaded.
"Thalia I really need to talk to you about something." He whispered the words sounded like they were caught in his throat.
"Fine but not here do you know anywhere private?" she asked.
He nodded, "Follow me."
She followed him up the stairs and to the rooftop. He opened the door and gestured for her to go through first. She was terrified of heights but she went out anyway. Luke followed closely behind her his hand ghosted the small of her back guiding her forward.
They walked over to a wicker couch that was located in the middle of the roof. Luke sat down and pulled Thalia onto his lap. She felt something warm drape around her shoulders and realized that it was Luke's hoodie.
"Thalia we need to talk about what happened." He whispered.
She looked at him, "Fine we'll talk about what happened."
"I know I really screwed up and now I'm realizing that my life sucks without you in it." He whispered.
Thalia raised an eyebrow, "You're just now realizing this?"
Luke nodded, "What I did to you was terrible and I realized that I really need you in my life so I don't hit rock bottom again. Right after you told me you wanted nothing to do with me my life spiraled out of control."
Thalia was quiet for a moment, "Your life spiraled out of control?"
He looked at her sadly and nodded, "It did I began partying too much and drinking and cursing you for leaving me. I barely made my grades for graduation and I barely got to keep the football scholarships."
"I caused your life to spiral out of control?" she asked.
"Well I did but when you said you never wanted anything to do with me it just started a downhill chain reaction. I went to parties, I drank, smoked some weed. I hooked up with every girl who came to me asking for anything; I'm surprised I don't have a kid somewhere out there. I only hooked up with those girls because I felt like it was my revenge on you hoping that one day you'd show up to a party and see me with them. Then I remembered that you were used to seeing me with other girls." He whispered.
"So you're basically saying that all of this was because I broke up with you?" she asked. The truth was she had dated Luke she dated him from her freshmen year of high school to her sophomore year and then she couldn't take it anymore and he was going off to college anyway. She had grown sick of him acting like a jerk, constantly out at parties with other girl. Closer to the end he had even resulted to ignoring her in the school hallways. She had been so used to him grabbing her and kissing her sweetly when she passed by him that the sudden change when he ignored her infuriated her so much that she ignored him in return. She never returned his texts or calls.
"Thalia I know that it was my fault and I really want a second chance with you." He whispered.
She looked at him and bit her bottom lip, "Fine one more chance."
He grinned and kissed her softly before running his knuckles along the side of her face.
"I won't screw it up this time." He whispered. He was a junior in college and she was just going to be a freshman in college. She wondered if he wouldn't find that extremely irritating. She shrugged off the though and snuggled into his arms.
"You better not." She whispered before kissing him once again.
One Year Later
The sun filtered through the window. Thalia looked at the date and grinned. Today Luke was graduating and she promised that she was going to make this day the best he's ever had. She snuck out of the bed where they had been sleeping and into the kitchen to make his favorite breakfast.
She finished making his favorite blueberry pancakes and whatever else he liked. She put everything on a tray and brought it into the bedroom where he was sleeping. She set it on the dresser and walked over to him.
"Luke wake up." Thalia whispered shaking his shoulder gently.
Luke smiled at her sleepily and pulled her down next to him, "Why do I have to get up?"
"You're graduating today and you're getting up this is important." She whispered.
She flipped over to face him, "Besides I made your favorite breakfast."
"Blueberry pancakes?" he asked.
She nodded, "Like I said today is important."
"Are you going to be there?" he whispered as he peppered her neck with kisses.
"Of course I am this is a really big day Luke." She rolled her eyes.
"Well then I was thinking we could go out after." He whispered.
"To where?" she asked.
"A movie or something." He whispered.
Thalia was quiet for a moment, "You don't want to go to a party?"
"Not if you're not there." He whispered.
"Fine we'll do something afterwards but that requires you getting up and actually going." She giggled as kissed her neck with light kisses that tickled her skin.
"I guess I'm hungry now." He whispered.
Thalia detangled herself from the sheets and walked over to the dresser to get the breakfast she had made for Luke. She helped him with the tray and began to walk out of the room.
"You're not going to stay?" he asked her giving her a pouty look.
"Do you want me to?" she asked.
He nodded, "Who else is going to help me eat all of this food?"
Thalia walked back over to the bed and sat down cross-legged across from him. He smiled at her and took a sip of his coffee, "So are you excited?" Thalia asked.
Luke shrugged, "Not as excited as I am for what I have planned."
"What do you have planned?" Thalia asked arching her eyebrows in the process.
"That, sweetheart, you'll just have to wait and see." He grinned he took a bite of pancake and then fed her a bite.
Soon enough Thalia was sitting in the crowd of people watching Luke walk down the aisle to receive his degree. After the ceremony Luke walked over to her. He grinned and kissed her softly.
"So are you ready?" he asked.
"For what?"
"My surprise." He grinned waggling his eyebrows.
Thalia followed him down the street; they had ended up in Little Italy. Luke slipped his hand around hers and smiled at her, "Are you hungry?"
"Sorta." She nodded.
"Do you want pizza or pasta?" Luke asked.
"Either is fine."
"Well I think pizza sounds good." Luke said as he opened to door to a small pizzeria. This happened to be the pizzeria he took her to for their first date. Once they were seated Luke smiled at her.
"So I know you're up to something but I just don't know what you're up to." Thalia muttered.
"You won't know until it happens that's the beauty of it." He chuckled.
They got their pizza and they enjoyed the company of the other. Luke kept smiling at her with a longing look. She cocked her head to the side, "Are you alright?"
He smiled, "I'm fine, just thinking about how much I love you."
Thalia rolled her eyes, "You're such a sap."
"You roll your eyes a lot." He chuckled.
They paid the bill and Luke decided that they should probably head back. He hailed a cab and they were back to their apartment in no time. Thalia was wearing Luke's jacket because she got cold.
"Oh can you get my keys out of the pocket?" Luke asked.
Thalia nodded and slid her hand into one of the pockets and gasped. She pulled out a small Tiffany blue box. Luke grinned and took the box before getting down on one knee, "Thalia Dylan Grace will you do me the honors of being my wife? There's no other woman that I want to spend the rest of my life with."
Thalia's hand flew to her mouth instantly, "Of course!"
Luke smiled and slid the ring onto her finger. The ring was amazingly beautiful, "You're worth the ring."
She looked at him, "I was wondering how you could afford a Tiffany ring."
He grinned, "I have my ways."
She threw her arms around him and knocked him over in the process, "I love you."
"I love you too Thalia." He whispered.
She kissed him there was something giddy about the kiss that Luke found dizzying. Whenever Thalia just simply kissed him he felt his knees buckle and his mind getting fuzzy. She just had that kind of effect on him and he didn't mind.
Their elderly neighbor Mrs. Clawson was watching them from the threshold of her apartment, "Will you two keep it down and get a room will you?"
Thalia smiled at Luke, "Well we should probably go inside."
Three Years Later
Luke looked around the church and smiled, "Today is the day."
Percy clapped his shoulder, "You're one lucky man."
Luke looked over at him, "What do you mean by that?"
"Think about how much she loves you." Percy said.
"She's going to look amazing." Luke smiled. He had dreamt of Thalia in a white dress since they had started dating the first time. Then she broke up with him and now they're here. Luke was in love with Thalia, even more so than when he met her and that was saying a lot because he loved her then.
The organ began to play and she appeared at the end of the aisle. Luke's breath hitched when he saw her. She looked amazing in her white gown. It floated behind her as she walked down the aisle to meet him. After the ceremony they were headed off to their reception.
"Forever and always." He whispered to her.
She smiled at him and kissed him softly, "I know."
"Just reminding you." He whispered.
