Thalia's POV
So I'm stuck in an elevator. With Nico di Angelo, my ex-boyfriend who happens to be slouching against the wall occasionally glaring at me. And the worst part? He makes sulking look good. What the heck…sometimes I hate the fates, if you didn't notice before. We had been sitting there for about ten minutes occasionally glaring at each other.
"So basically, Aphrodite locked us in a freaking elevator until we talk things out?" Nico glowered, finally breaking the silence.
"Yes." I snapped back, with just as much irritation, "Why we have to talk is a complete mystery to me. You cheated on me, we broke up, end of story."
Nico sat up fast, "What?"
I rolled my eyes and said slowly, "You cheated on me. We broke up." And a piece of my just died inside.
"No I didn't." He looked confused and angry.
"What?" Was he questioning me? I saw him and Rachel together!
"I didn't cheat on you." He stood up straight, "You cheated on me."
I scoffed, "Are you for real? I didn't cheat on you; you're the one who woke up half-naked and drunk next to Rachel!"
"You're the one who was grinding with some guy! And you were totally wasted!" He shouted.
"What the hell Nico! No I was with you the whole time, until I blacked out! Then I woke up and found you sleeping with her!" I shouted back.
"I only was with her because you were with someone else!" He snarled.
"I was not with someone else!" I felt angry tears threatening to fall. I would never cheat on Nico!, "And you broke up with me over text without explaining why!"
"I broke up with you because you were with Rachel! And I wasn't with anyone else!"
"Yes you were!"
"Who said?"
"RACHEL!" We both stopped and stared in realization.
"Rachel?" I whispered, "She told you I was grinding with someone else?" That dirty little…
"I…yeah." His eyes were wide, "Does that mean…we broke up…because of a misunderstanding?" The bloody fates. And it wasn't a misunderstaning. I bet you Rachel had this planned for a really long time, she always had a thing for Nico.
I gulped, "I think so."
There was an awkward pause. And let me tell you, that was the longest two minutes of my life. I decided to be the bigger person. I said, "Look. Don't break up with her now…the past is the past. We should just be…friends." Even though I just realized that you didn't cheat on me, you're still the sweet guy I knew, and I'm totally in love with you.
He nodded, "Yeah…I guess so." He looked embarrassed and then looked away, "I'm really sorry Thalia. I hope everything works up between you and Alex."
"Huh?" Alex? Oh yeah…Demeter child.
"He's obviously in love with you. And you like him too?" Did I detect a hint of jealousy? Nah, can't be. Besides, he's dating the slut. I mean, Rachel.
"I don't know. He's sweet I guess. But that's it. Like he doesn't really have a personality except when he tries to go all macho and tell me what to do." I glared at the wall. I have issues with authority. Heck, I freaking turned down Artemis's offer and I've mouthed off to Aphrodite several times. Speaking of which, "Where's Aphrodite? We've figured out our 'issues', why hasn't she opened the door yet."
"I don't know. I'll call." He picked up the phone, "Hello?"
"Hey there!" Wow Aphrodite had a loud voice.
"We've…talked things out. Will you please let us go?"
"Nope!" She giggled.
"What? Why not?" Nico sounded pissed.
"All you have to do is kiss! On the lips!" She giggled once more and hung up. Damn, once again with the fates.
"So yeah…you head her?" Nico asked, almost shyly.
I groaned, "Unfortunately yes. Look Nico, we're friends now, right?"
He nodded.
"So all we need to do is a quick peck on the lips, and then we can leave and go on our merry way as best-friends-who-got-broken-up-by-accident-for-life, okay?"
He thought for a second, "BFWGBUBAFL?"
"Pardon?" Was he mad? Or was I just a bad kisser?
"Best-friends-who-got-broken-up-by-accident-for-life?" He smirked.
"Hey." I said defensively, "It was the best I could do."
He rolled his eyes, "Fine." He took a step towards me, till our noses were brushing up against each other. What the heck! Why was he so freaking tall! I was even wearing heels. I looked into his eyes and then brought my lips to his. I wish I could say it was a chaste peck…but it wasn't. His lips were soft and I felt myself going drunk on that stupid axe which he apparently still wore. I tangled my hands in his hair and pulled him really close to me. I wasn't even thinking at this point, just kissing. And damn was he a good kisser. While Alex's kiss had been nice and gentle and soft, it was nothing like this. This kiss was full of feeling, of regret and remorse, at the same time passionate and forbidden. That was really deep, huh? I should be a poet or something. Nico's hands were on the small of my back forming a cage around me, keeping me locked to him. When we broke for air (because though we're demigods, sadly we need to breathe), we stared at each other in shock and surprise. Then suddenly we sprang apart, blushing and breathing heavily. The doors opened and I quickly walked out hearing him follow me. This was going to be an awkward ride home back. Yay…
