Jason -III
Jason froze when Reyna kissed him, he closed his eyes and the image of Piper with that guy played in his head, his impulse took over and he kissed her back. He walked Reyna to the first praetor's house on the Via Principalis and asked "Where do I sleep tonight ?"
"The usual place." Reyna said with a twinkle in her eyes. She was going to give him a good night kiss but he stopped her by saying "One kiss is enough for one day."
She smiled and said "Sweet dreams."
"Night." Jason said walking to his old home. He entered to find everything was juat as he left it. "I guess it can be that way for some more time." He said to himself, he picked up his toiletries and walked towards the barracks. On reaching, he saw Percy, Hazel and Frank were also present.
"Is there room for one more ?" he asked. Everyone was okay with him being there. He took the bed between Piper and Annabeth, Percy took the bed on the right of Annabeth.
He asked Annabeth "When did she go to sleep ?"
"She was asleep before we came" was the reply he got. He began to wonder if she had even been to the infirmary. All of a sudden, Piper woke up and asked " Is it morning yet?"
Jason obliged her by answering in the negative. Piper's face was a complete mess, her eyes were puffy, her nose was red and she was certainly hurting, seeing her like that was plain painful. But being the daughter of Aphrodite had its advantages and her face became normal. Jason told her to go to the infirmary. She refused to go, he begged her to let him take her but she said she would go alone. She got up and left the barracks. Jason followed her.
" Jason go, I know where the infirmary is" Piper replied, definitely agitated.
"Well, when that guy offered to take you, you were ready to go with him." Jason replied hotly.
"That is none of your business."
"Just tell me why are you angry with me."
"Oh so you don't know why am I upset?" Piper sobbed.
'Don't cry."
"Don't tell me what to do. You kissed Reyna."
" You agreed to go out with that guy."
"He just wanted to make up for the cut. You made your choice Jason, let me make mine."
Jason caught both her arms and said "Don't you ever see the way ALL the guys at camp look at you? It's your first day here and you have such a big fan following."
"As if all girls don't go gaga over you! You chose Reyna. Don't expect me to wait forever Jason."
" Piper atleast you understand, I'm just alittle lost."
"I get all that Jason but even I have feelings, seeing you make out with Reyna wasn't easy."
"I'm sorry" Jason said.
"Good night Jason." Piper said smiling.
"Let me atleast walk you to the infirmary."
" Okay. " They walked in silence. They finally reached the infirmary, Jason took a little nectar and applied it on her cut which it immediately started to heal.
And they headed back to the barracks.
