Sorry for taking so long to update! I've been really busy with summer reading and dance and stuff like that. Hope this chapter makes up for it!

Chapter 9

Jason (POV)

So, it was the dance, I was actually nervous. I know. Jason Grace…nervous? Well I don't usually get nervous. The exception is when I get anywhere near to Piper much less hold a conversation with her. I couldn't even believe I had built up enough courage to ask her to the dance, even if it was over text so we wouldn't get in trouble.

Being the quarterback, you would think that I get a lot of girls after me. The truth is, I get a good amount, but they're all really after Percy. I've had a crush on Piper for a while. Even if it was only for her appearance because our groups never really talked. Now that I've gotten to know her, let's just say that my situation hasn't gotten any better. She has the best personality. She's funny, happy, reserved or modest when she needs to be, and outgoing when she wants to be. I haven't talked to her since I told her I would pick her up at 7. I was kind of scared to how she would react tonight. Did she even like me? Or did she think I had asked her as just friends? By the gods, I hoped she liked me and thought this was a date. Because I know for me, it is.

I had just pulled up to her house, or should I say mansion. Her dad is a famous movie star so her family has money, but she doesn't like to talk to anybody about it. She must have heard my car pull up in the drive way because I saw her head poke out of her window, then run away. I guess she wasn't ready yet. I got out of my car and walked to her front door. I was about to knock when she opened it.

"My dad's away filming for a movie so it's just me." I had heard her words but was too busy staring at her to comprehend them. She was beautiful. Her dress was a peach color that showed off her beautifully tanned skin. It was short but modest and she had on white flats. It showed off her long legs but it wasn't trashy. She barely had any make up on but let's be real; it's not like she needed it. Her choppy hair was left down like always with a peach flower clipped in. But of course me being a typical boy, my eyes lingered longer in certain areas. I'm not going to deny it because with the way she looked, anybody would have done the same.

She snapped her fingers in front of my face. "Jason….Jason….JASON!"

"What?"
"You're staring. Are you okay?"

"Uh huh." I lied. I was absolutely stunned by how gorgeous she looked and I could barely get a word out of my mouth much less a whole sentence. "Let's get going." I took her hand in mine and took her to my car. Her hand fit perfectly in mine. I think she noticed too because she blushed. I was a little disappointed when I had to drop it to let her get in the car.

When we got to the dance, I went around and opened her door for her. She laughed.

"Very chivalrous Jason."

"Why thank you milady." I bowed. We were both cracking up at this point. I couldn't help but notice how her eyes twinkled when she smiled or how she only had a dimple on one side of her smile.

She was absolutely beautiful and nobody could tell me otherwise.

The whole night went by so fast. Percy was made homecoming King, which didn't surprise me, being that he has practically every girl in the school drooling over him. Except Annabeth. I wondered what was going on between those two. Ever since he met her he's changed his ways. He doesn't sleep around anymore or get drunk at parties and I wondered if it was because he like her. Anyways, Rachel was made homecoming Queen, which was a little awkward because Percy broke up with her over the summer. After that, Piper and I danced all night long. Someone spiked the punch *cough* Stolls *cough*, and we both had a few cups. By the end of the night we were a little bit tipsy but not drunk. We blasted the radio all the way to her house and sang at the top of our lungs. Though it probably sounded more like wailing than singing. I walked her up to her door.

"Thank you for bringing me Jason. I had really, really nice time."

"Me too. I'm glad you said 'yes'." I started to gradually lean in. I think she noticed, but she didn't say anything.

"Me too." I slammed my lips against hers. She kissed me back. I was so ecstatic at that moment because I knew that we both felt the same way. We stood there kissing for only the gods know how long. Her hands had made their way to my hair and mine to her waist. We broke apart for two reasons.

Because we both needed to breath.

Because I had already broken curfew and didn't want to get into really bad trouble. (Piper didn't have to worry about this because her dad was away. Lucky.)

"I have to go."

"I know." She said breathlessly, as we were both still looking for air.

" I'll call you tomorrow." She smiled.

"You better." I gave her one last kiss on the lips and walked back to my car. As I pulled out (of the driveway, people.) I realized I had a giddy smiled plastered on my face. I didn't think anything could wipe it off my face until one thought occurred to me.

'I know this relationship just started and we don't know if it will last, but. What happens when I graduate this year and go to college?'

That's it for this chapter guys. You got a whole chapter just for some Jasper!

I'm having a little writer's block for the next few chapters, so if you have any ideas PM me or leave it in the reviews, as I check them frequently.

Let's try and make it to 80 to 85 reviews for this chapter.

Keep in mind that the more reviews I get, the more motivation I have to keep writing.

R & R! Please!

Love you,
