..Chapter 2..

Those Darn Seductive Eyes

TPOV

The next day I awoke in my bed in the cabin I stayed in when I visited. I looked around the room to see sun streaming in through the window meaning it was late morning. I sighed and got up looking through my clothes. I finally picked jeans and a t-shirt. I threw it on and ran out the door. When the wind hit my face I smiled up at the sky and started walking towards the dining pavilion. While I was walking I wasn't watching my feet and I bumped into somebody. I stumbled back a few feet and looked up. There he was smirking at me, his piercing blue eyes sparkling.

"I-I'm so s-sorry Parker!" I stuttered nervously. His eyes were so...amazing. I blushed and looked away. He stepped toward me and made me look up at him.

"It's fine. I'm not hurt at all," he chuckled at my expression as my cheeks turned even more red if possible. What was wrong with me? Why was I getting all nervous and blushing? I had a boyfriend for crying out loud! I looked back into his eyes and got the sudden erg to wrap my arms around him and never let go. He was smirking at me like.. he knew something. When I dropped his gaze the erg went away and I heard a huff from Parker. This just confused me even more. "Wanna hang out today?" he asked me niceley. I looke dup my eyebrows raising. If he was trying to make a move, it wasn't working one bit.

"Well Apollo and I were supposed to-" I was cut off with him laughing.

"Come on please? I want to get to know you better!" he said making puppy dog eyes. I sighed and gave into those beautiful eyes. We walked to the dining pavilion and sat at a table they had recentley added for visitors. Although Parker was Aphrodite's child, he worked here so he could sit wherever he wanted. When we sat down I looked across the room to see Annabeth staring at me oddly. She raised her eyebrows and I just flicked my hand at her signaling I'd tell her later.

"Let's play 20 questions," Parker said smiling and I agreed. The first few questions were pointless on basic stuff like my favorite color, my full name, favorite flowers, stuff like that. But towards the end he started asking more personal stuff on why I quit the Hunters, why I joine din the first place, and the one that shocked me the most: how I felt about Apollo. And the scary thing was, I was able to open up perfectly to him.

When we finally finished our game of 20 questions the dining pavilion was empty. Everybody was probably outside getting ready for capture the flag. We got up and walked outside. When I saw Apollo leaning against a tree my face lit up and I ran towards him. When I was a few feet away from him he saw me and held his arms out for me. I jumped into them giggling.

"Gods where have you been for the past three hours? I missed you," he murmered against my hair. My face turned down in a frown as I started feeling guilty. I spent three hours with Parker? It didn't seem that long at all. I blushed and looked up at him.

"I'm sorry! I was gonna come find you but Parker wanted to play 20 questions with me really badly so I said yes and before I knew it three hours had gone by. I'm so sorry," I told him honestly. He raised his eyebrows.

"Parker? I still don't like that kid...." Apollo trailed off and I hit him playfully. He just smiled at me as I suddenly got an idea.

"Will this make up for the time I didn't spend with you?" I asked. I didn't give him a chance to answer because at that moment I leaned up and pressed me lips to his. I felt him smile against my lips and pull me tighter against him. All my thoughts disappeared from my mind as I kissed Apollo. This is how it always was when I kissed him like this. I always got lost in the moment and never cared about anything else but him. After a couple more moments I pulled back from him and smiled.

"Yes that will make up for it," he said winking and I just giggled. After a couple minutes I turned around and spotted Parker standing next to Violet. She was talking animatedly to him and he nodded every one and a while but he wasn't paying attention to her at all. He was glaring at Apollo and I.

Oh boy.

Later that night after the capture the flag game, Violet ran up to me smiling and squealing.

"Oh my gods! You hung out with Parker today? Why didn't you tell me this?" she squealed and I rolled my eyes.

"Umm I do have a boyfriend you know? You're acting like he's gonna ask me out and he's my first ever boyfriend," I told her chuckling nervously. She just rolled her eyes and winked at me.

"You know he likes you," she said smirking as my eyes bulged wide. I just met him a day a go. How could he already like me? He also just got to know me today. How is that possible?

"How is that possible?" I asked her and she went into a full blown conversation on how he told her that I was amazing and everything. That's what they were talking about when I kissed Apollo. When she was done explaining I frowned and shook my head. I still didn't get it. There had to be something more to it.

Later that night as I was walking to my cabin I spotted Parker. As I walked he turned around and locked eyes with me. I suddenly got the erg to run to him and hold him again. I dropped his gaze and the erg was gone. I raised my eyebrows and walked into my cabin, collapsing back on my bed.

There was something up with Parker and his darn seductive eyes.

And her and Parker start to get closer :P

Hahaha I'm just warning you there will be LOTS of jealously in this story. I loved the scene between Apollo and Thalia ahahahahaha xD Also I'm sorry this chapter is short but this is exactly all I wanted to put in this chapter, nothing more so it's kind of short.

Most of you probably think this will be like Twilight when Bella has to choose between Jacob and Edward. It's like that and it's not like that at the same time. It's kind of the Jacob, Edward, Bella thing but Thalia doesn't have to choose in the end! Just keep reading and you'll get it sooner or later why she doesn't have to choose ;)

Anyways I'm soo happy at how succesful this story is already! :DDD Yay! Maybe we'll get to at least 100 reviews by the end :O This is longer than Shine Bright ;)

So what do you guys think is up with Parker's eyes? There IS something special about his eyes! If you guys guess it I'll PM you and tell you you're right! A hint is it has to do with something with him being Aphrodite's child the goddess of LOVE. *wink wink* ;)

Anyways I'm going to respond to all of your reviews here because it's easier ;)
