I looked in my closet to find something to wear, it took me five minutes to pick it out, Leo watched me with amused satisfaction. I glanced at him and couldn't help the ear-to-ear smile that spread across my face. I pulled out about fifteen outfits worth and spread them out on my bed.

"What do you think? Cute, and approachable? Smart, yet able to have fun? Stupid, and easy? Or sexy, and way out of your league?" I asked thoughtfully, more to myself than anything.

"Sexy, and way out of your league, definitely." Leo said, coming up behind me. He was close, very close, but not quite touching, and in a way, it made me want him even more.

"I was probably gonna do that anyway." I agreed.

I threw a few things behind my back, close to my closet, but not quite in it. I was deciding between a very low cut dress that would probably get me in big trouble, and a gray miniskirt paired with a shirt that showed my bellybutton. Leo looked over me at the outfits I had picked out, he was having trouble deciding.

"Dress today, skirt tommorow?" he asked.

I smiled. "I can do that."

I grabbed the tommorow outfit and layed it out on my bed, then ducked under my bedframe and grabbed my huge box of shoes. I opened it and took out my Special Shoes, they were three inch, black stilletos that were expecially dangerous to walk in.

I changed quickly, allowing Leo to watch me, he atleast tried to be subtle about his staring. I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked pretty hot. My dress just barely touched my thighs, it was black, low cut, there wasn't any fabric on the sides, exposing my ribs. I looked taller which was a good thing, I didn't have to stretch as much to look into Leo's eyes.

I put on a little make up, only eyeliner and a little blush to give my California skin some rosey color. I put in my favorite earrings, they were a gift from Leo for my 17th, they were in the shape of silver lightning bolts, he had made them. The craftmanship was amazing for an inexprienced son of Zeus.

Finally, I put on my favorite white D&G sunglasses, and turned around. My boyfriends eyes were cast at my camp necklace then, ever so slealthily, down my shirt, or rather, down my dress. I elbowed him in the stomach and hooked my arm around his, as we were walking out, I almost tripped over my sister.

She was sitting on the porch staring at something in the distance, I followed her gaze to mom and dad. They were in full on argument mode, I winced and stared at my sister instead. She noticed me after a second and her eyes widened.

"You look HOT!" she said excitedly.

I smiled. "Are you coming to the party?" I asked her.

"Aww, shit. I forgot about that. Wait-which one are you going to?"

"The big, night one. Duh."

"Meet you there?"

"Of course."

She slid into the cabin and then paused, she cast one last glance at our parents, shook her head and closed the door behind her.

We walked to the Zeus cabin to change Leo's clothes, we decided it would be me who would be picking out his clothes from then on. I usually did anyway but it was mutually agreed that I'd be his fashion stylist from then on out.

After 15 minutes of searching, I found the perfect look for him. His black hair was pushed out of his eyes, and he even let me pierce his ear, I mean, hello, you're looking at a professional at pirecing stuff. Haha. I had him wear really loose vans and a black emo-guy sweatshirt with the amazing band name "Slipknot" on the back. He also wore ripped up jeans, heavily ripped up jeans, and sunglasses.

"Sunglasses? To a night party?" he asked me incredulously. "Isn't that a little douchey(?)"

"Hey, you've got just the right amount of douche working, thank you very much. Also, they work perfectly with your hair." I reasoned.

He sighed and rolled his eyes at me, I frowned at him. "No lip, Little Mister."

He put his hands up and pulled me to his bed, he sat down and we played tic-tac-toe on my I-pod Touch. After he lost for the sixth time in a row, he got frustrated and pushed me off the bed. I was laughing so hard, it felt like my sides were being torn apart layer by layer of skin. Eww, bad mental picture, bad, go away!

I grabbed his leg and pulled him down with me, I gave him a quick kiss on the lips. He smiled and pulled me into another one, I refrained from touching his perfect hair for fear of messing it up. I felt pressure building in the pit of my stomach and I was forced to pull away. "What's up with you?" he asked at my uncomfortable expression.

"My body wants you, Leo. It's physically hurting me right now." I said pointing at the place that hurt the most in my stomach. He placed his hand over the spot I pointed to and looked at me with scorching eyes. I felt goosebumps pop up on my flesh and I had some trouble swallowing.

"Stop teasing me," I hissed as he lightly brushed the sensitive skin near my waistline.

That of course made him want to go even farther, he gently raised his fingers higher, pressing his fingers on my ribs. "Touch me?" I asked.

He bit his lip gently, giving him an innocent-and enticing-look. I used my lips to push his apart and then gave him a wet kiss. "We should probably get going, huh?" he said.

"If you really want to..."

"I think it would be smart."

I pushed away from in embarrasment, I walked to and looked out the window, hugging myself tightly. "Jame..."

"Let's just go." I said forcibly.

"You're mad at me." he stated.

"No, I just wish you would at least show some interest in me."

"I do, very much. I love you. I just can't take that away from you, I'm sorry!"

"Let's just go." I said firmly.

"Women," he sighed.

"Hey, we're the ones with the shit end of the stick. Do you have to suffer though child birth? Do you have to be aware of that time of the month? Do you have to suffer through girl drama? Do you have to get your look just right every day? Do you have to deal with sexist pigs who think women are made to please men? Do you have to worry about the guys in your class looking down your shirt and cornering you and feeling you up when no one's around?"

"People really do that?"

"No. Guys really do that."

"It's happened to you?"

"Definitely."

"You just let them touch you!?"

"Of course not. I don't want them to, but you can't really slice a mortal in half. Not with a celestial bronze sword anyway." I murmmered.

We were silent the rest of the walk to the party and I honestly was not too happy. I hated thinking about those horrible memories, let alone talking about them. "Hey, Jame, are you alright?" Leo asked.

"Fine, " I said, although my voice gave me away when it cracked.

"Let's not think about it right now," he said as we walked to the little shack on the beach. People were outside talking and dancing, it was one of those outdoor AND indoor parties. Leo suddenly spun me around and smirked devilishly at me. "For now, we dance!"
