B is for Blueberry Pie...
Luke walked into the small apartment he shared with Thalia in the city, they were far enough away from Camp but close enough if they were needed. He found Thalia in the kitchen, flour, eggs, butter, and sugar surrounded her, a huge cookbook sat open on the counter. He couldn't help but smile when he noticed that Thalia was wearing the apron he had jokingly gotten for her.
"What are you up to?" he chuckled.
"I went to the farmers' market and picked up some fruit, I decided to make a blueberry pie." she replied.
"Do you want so help?" he asked her.
She smiled, "If you'd like to."
He rolled back the sleeves of his shirt and joined Thalia. She directed him to make the filling for the pie and he did as she told him while she made the crust. Soon enough they had a gorgeous looking pie complete with the criss-cross top and sugar sprinkled on it.
"You should really think about this stuff professionally." Luke grinned. He was job hunting at the moment.
Thalia shook her head, "I've been helping Piper with her bakery, she's taught me a couple things."
"Tell her to teach you how to make her pudding filled cupcakes." Luke chuckled as he swiped his finger through the left over filling in the bowl.
Thalia laughed, "Focus on your blueberry pie."
He pulled her into his arms and smiled at her, "You have a little flour in your hair."
She rolled her eyes as he picked up some flour and blew it at her, "Mature."
He grinned, "I try."
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him softly, "I know you do."
Luke was a little anxious after Thalia pulled the pie out for cooling, "Is it ready yet?"
Thalia rolled her eyes, "It just came out of the oven, why don't you go to the store and pick up some vanilla ice cream?"
So Luke did as Thalia asked, he was still impatient by the time he got back, he really wanted some pie.
"Is it ready yet?" Luke asked.
Thalia laughed she was watching Impractical Jokers, "Give it another ten minutes and then it'll be ready."
Luke waited his ten minutes curled up on the couch next to Thalia watching Impractical Jokers, Thalia's favorite show when Once Upon a Time wasn't on and weirdly enough Thalia loved Pretty Little Liars, she referred to it as her guilty pleasure.
"It's been ten minutes!" Luke grinned as he jumped off the couch and ran towards the kitchen where the gorgeous blueberry pie was sitting on the counter. Thalia laughed as she walked into the kitchen and Luke sat on the counter waiting for her to cut the pie. It felt like centuries but he finally had his pie in his hand with a scoop of ice cream.
The pie was better than he had imagined it would be, "This is amazing."
"It better be, you were acting like a kid waiting for it." Thalia laughed before she took a bite of her own pie. Luke finished his and then looked at Thalia.
He gave her the puppy dog face, "Can I please have another piece?"
She laughed, "Sure, I guess you can have another piece."
That was how Luke spent his night, eating blueberry pie and cuddling on the couch with Thalia as they watched Impractical Jokers.
