I squinted my eyes and looked at her intrigued by her choice of questions. I didn't know whether to suspect some crush connotations in where this conversation was heading to, so I decided just to give her the honest talk.
"Of course I do, who doesn't?" Thalia shrugged and fell back on the bed. I wasn't quite sure what to do, whether to also fall back on the bed or just remain sitting to avoid the uneasy tension. Suddenly, something occured to me as I thought back on how Thalia said she was the daughter of Zeus. I heard once that there is a chance that if you touch a child of Zeus you will get jolted by lightning. I looked at Thalia's hand which lay on her stomach, fingers tied together. Apparently she saw me looking at them as she too started to stare at them.
"May I?" I asked without giving a hint of what I was about to do. Thalia reached out her left hand smiling. I thought she knew what I was trying to test. The tension was spiking and I finally grabbed her hand. To our greatest disappointment, nothing happened. Thalia sat up.
"Impossible…" she muttered confused just as I was.
"You sure Zeus is your father?" I asked and she looked at me as if she wanted to punch me in the face.
"This has never happened before." Thalia mumbled in amazement looking at the palms of her hands. She began poking me and asking if I feel something. Nothing. Well except for the constant pressure applied by the poking.
"That is very strange…" Thalia whispered getting up. "Right, come on. It's lunch and trust me, you don't want to be in the back of the queue."
Thalia's P.O.V.
As we walked towards the food court I was thinking hard on what happened in my cabin and how Jason was jolt-resistant. I thought of all the reasons that could have resulted in… well the lack of a result. But none seemed to match the criteria of the situation. There was something very odd about this magnificent young man, something that made my heart beat twice as fast when I was around him. Was it love at first sight? I don't know since I never had that before. But I surely felt something for him, I just don't yet know what.
Lunch passed rather quickly and we managed to hang around without getting bored until the evening when we would be getting ready for the party. I showed Jason the arena, the Pegasi stable, the lake, and other key points around Camp Half-Blood. He seemed to be enjoying it, always walking around with a smile. After the tour Ied him to the Hades cabin which had been unoccupied since Nico left with Angela to live on their own. The nymphs left some clothes for him and I had to hiss them out of the cabin as they popped in to spy on Jason whilst he was getting changed.
(A/N: Had to ask my cousin about the clothes part. She did her best!)
Since it would be Christmas soon, I decided to wear something of the Christmas spirit. Festive, but sexy. A red mini dress with white furr around the collar and sleeves, and some red white stockings. Annabeth left me some accessories from which I picked out a red and white hair bow which matched the whole perfectly. To finish, a pair of white heels. I looked in the mirror. Wow. I never thought that I could look this pretty. I looked at the clock on my bedtable. 7.53 PM. 7 minutes to get to Percy's. Just to be on the safe side I decided to leave now, even though the walk was only a minute. I was surprised as by the time I got there, everyone was already in. I opened the door and got in, a blaze of heat welcoming me. Around the fireplace huddled up tightly sat Percy and Annabeth. He had his head in her laps and she gently brushed his hair. On the left I saw Silena and Andrea, on the right Jason and Drew. I was slightly annoyed since she already managed to begin flirting with him.
"Hey, Thalia!" Annabeth welcomed me shrieking from happiness on how gorgeous I looked. I got compliments from everyone in the room, including Jason. I sat down beside him and he smiled.
"So, what's up everyone?" I asked.
"We were meant to play 'Spin the Bottle', but we figured out that it'd be best to wait for you." said Drew. 'Spin the Bottle', simply an excuse to get herself all over Jason. But I didn't want to crash the party.
"Sounds fun! Let's play the shot version." I added.
Annebeth clearly supported the idea as she asked Percy to get the bottles of Jack Daniels he managed to get in to Camp. We set up everything and all sat in a circle around the fireplace. I sat directly opposite to Jason so that he and I would be chosen. Percy set up the shots and Annabeth asked if she could spin the bottle first. No one protested and we started to play. Percy and Jason clearly had a good time seeing Drew and Silena kiss for 3 minutes as they were chosen again and again. The two were getting more and more drunk with each round they were chosen and Silena soon started to get naked, being stopped only by a sudden urge to go to the bathroom. Drew was leaning against Jason muttering something along the lines of "Marry me" which Jason found particularily amusing. After 10 minutes, the bottle eventually landed on us. My heart beat increased as I knew what would happen. Annabeth got really excited over this. We had to kiss. I was anxious about it, but on the other hand excited. Excited as hell. We drank our shots and approached each other slowly. Andrea was almost passed out as she was past her 9th round, Silena was still in the bathroom, and Drew was barely holding up. Percy was kissing Annabeth pationately on the neck as she was looking at us waiting for the moment. The only thing she was missing was a bag of popcorn. I looked Jason in the eyes, his beautiful dark amber eyes. I laughed looking up in the sealing knowing that my father was cursing me for doing what I was about to do. I looked back at Jason who was really calm and almost looked as if he really wanted to kiss me, rather than being coerced to do it. Hell, I wanted to kiss him. He put his hands on my neck and drew me closer. Instinctively, I closed my eyes and our lips met.
Jason's P.O.V.
I held Thalia firmly as we began to kiss. She was the one leading and I could feel she was enjoying it. I felt her hands rummaging through my hair as she grabbed my head pulling me closer to her, ensuring that there was not an inch in between us. I moved my hands onto her waist and pulled her back with me, falling on the couch without breaking the kiss. She moved her hands so that they were on my ears as she continued to kiss me, moving one hand onto my chest. I flipped us round and now she was on the bottom. Intuitively, I began sliding my hand lower and lower to he thigh.
"Woah, guys!" I heard Annabeth's voice and to Thalia's reluctance the kiss broke. "This is only round one, chill yourselves down. I don't want you two doing it here, and it pretty well looks like you were going to do it." She was right. We let our hormones get the best of us. Although I think Thalia didn't mind as all she did was give out an exasperated giggle after which she rolled back onto the carpet ready to go for the next round. Silena came out of the toilet looking extremely hot, but I was totally on for Thalia right now. She looked good in that dress. Lying across the carpet she kept blowing me kisses waiting for the next round. I figured out that she had maybe one or two beers too much. Silena, being the most sober out of us all, got her best attempt at spinning the bottle, which didn't come out as bad as predicted. It landed on Percy and Annabeth.
"Round 4?" Percy groaned being almost completely drunk. He drowned down a whole bottle of Johnny Walker and was hugging his head against Annabeth's breasts. He lifted his head and started to kiss her, to which she started giggling in the process, in effect making sounds similar to those of a dying pig. Percy took his best shot at standing up, actually he was quite successfull. He picked up Annabeth bridal style and they rushed off to the bedroom slamming the door behind them.
"Silena?" I asked pointing towards the bottle. I actually enjoyed this game.
Silena leaned forward and spun the bottle on the carpet. It kept going, and going, and going, until it eventually stopped on me and Drew. Drew was in fact a very hot girl. She had brown curly hair, rather pale skin, chocolatey eyes and wonderful lips. When she saw what the bottle had pointed out she smiled, came over and pushed me back onto the floor. She swiftly through her leg over my torso and was sitting on my stomach leaning in. Our lips met and she pulled herself closer to me. She was a good kisser but I enjoyed the kiss with Thalia more. This one seem more forced onto me rather than a willfull kiss. I swear that in the middle of it I heard her saying through the kiss something like "Take me, Jason".
Suddenly, the kiss was interrupted as Drew went flying off from me. I looked up and noticed Thalia standing over me, looking at Drew with the fiercest face ever. She had just kicked Drew in the head, knocking her off of me and Drew herself out.
"Only I get to kiss him, bitch!" she shouted and I knew it was the booze talking. It was somehow odd but as I looked up to see Thalia I noticed her red underwear because he dress was not long enough to conceal it from the angle that I was looking from. I blushed and looked away, slowly getting up to my feet. The moment I stood up something rather large had hit me and was wrapping itself around my waist. I quickly realised that it was a pair of legs. Thalia had just jumped on me and wrapped herself tightly around me. I caught her by the thighs so that she would not fall off.
"Hey, handsome…" she begun. Her breath smelled heavily of alcohol, in fact so did mine. I could barely stand straight. "Take me to my cabin, baby." she commanded and I obliged.
A/N: Okay, most probably my first attempt at a lemon in next chapter. Changing rating to M. Stuff's about to get real 'cause Zeus will be really pissed off. OOPS! SPOILER.
