Chapter 4: Whack!
I woke up from a deep sleep about 2:30 a.m. *whack* What the- *whack* -fuck is that?
I began to sneak through the palace in my nightgown and stopped in front someone's room. Prince Nico. *whack*!
I knocked on the door. The whacking suddenly seemed to stop.
The door slung open and there he stood.
"What do you want?" he asked. "Is this about the kiss I gave you?" he asked as if the world revolved around that.
"No, no, but is that noise coming from your room?" I asked.
"What noise?"
"That whacking noise!"
"No…"
"Oh, um, okay then," I said walking off briskly.
*whack* *whack* There it is again! He was lying! I turned around and went back to his door.
*knock, knock, knock*
"What now?" He asked annoyed.
"I know it's you Nico, quit that whacking sound!"
"What whacking sound?" You could tell he was clearly confused.
*whack*
"Did you hear that?" I asked him once again.
"Hear wha-"
"Shh!"
*whack*
"That?" he asked. "That happens every night,"
"What is it, I can't sleep with all this racket!"
"It's my dad and step mom," he said with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"What are they-" Then everything made sense.
"Eww!" I stated trying to shake the image from my mind. My sound of disgust was shortly followed by a rumble of laughter. Nico just laughed! I made Nico laugh!
"Thanks for burning that image into my mind forever. Now I'll never get to sleep,"
"Hey come inside," he insisted. Did he just invite me inside? Where did his evil, man-period side go?
I walked into his room and saw his walls were covered with posters of bands, pictures, and the occasional bikini model.
"Nice, uh, place you got here," I said trying to sound as if I truly liked it.
"Thanks," he mumbled sliding into a computer chair. I picked up a picture. There was a boy with shaggy black hair, green eyes, and looked like he was dressed for the beach. He had his arm around a blond haired girl with silver eyes and a cocky I-know-it-all expression. Then there was a girl alone with short black hair and kind of had Nico's style.
"Who are they?" I asked standing next to him.
"Oh, the one with the black hair is Percy, the blonde is his girlfriend Annabeth, and the bitchy looking one is Thalia."
"Oh okay," I just let the subject drop. I sat down on his bed and soon found myself in a deep uncounsiousness.
I woke up feeling very refreshed until I realized there were arms around me. I glanced beside me and there was Nico, shirtless, with his arms around my waist. What is he doing in bed next to me? Did he try anything? I glanced down and saw his boxers were on. Thank fucking god! I was too content in waking him up so I drifted into a dreamless sleep once again.
I woke up to a nudge on my arm. Then another. Then another.
"Five more minutes," I mumbled sleepily. Nico laughed.
"No we're already running late," he mentioned.
"Late for what?" I said getting up on my elbow.
"You're meeting my friends today," Nico got up and started to get dressed.
"Fine," I whined and trudged back to my room.
