Sorry, this is just a filler, next chapter will be much better.

I looked at her and smiled sheepishly then I ducked out of the kitchen to answer the door. There to my utmost annoyance, stood Percy Jackson.

"Hey, Di Angelo you didn't answer your cell phone. I was in the neighbourhood so I came to return your money." He smirked at me.

I rolled my eyes at him. "What did I interrupt something?" he asked. Then he noticed Piper and Jason sitting on the chair and scrunched up his eyebrows, "Dude, since when do you have kids?"

"I don't have kids you moron, that's Thalia's brother."

"Thalia, you mean your PA, the one who saved my but?" Percy asked

"Yeah, Thalia, Percy's here and he'd like to thank you personally." I called into the kitchen and she came out and smiled at Percy.

Percy looked between the two of us for a moment and I gave him a look that said don't bring it up and he immediately smiled at her and thanked her profusely while holding her in a bone crushing embrace.

I rolled my eyes and returned to the kitchen to focus on cooking dinner while Thalia and Percy watched me through the window and we all chatted away.

Once I was done and the food had been served, Thalia emerged from the bathroom where she had gone to take a shower and took a chunk out of Jason's plate before he could even taste it.

She chewed a bit then her eyes widened slightly, "This is absolutely fantastic, who taught you how to cook like this?"

"I learnt here, there and everywhere." I shrugged.

"That's absolute bullshit; he grew up in Florence around and was around his grandmother most of the time. He only came to school here when he was twelve and even then he spent most of his holidays back home. You can say he picked up a few things from her." Percy interrupted while scarfing down his meal.

I glared at him but he ignored me completely and focused on filling the vacuum he calls his stomach. "Whatever I'm going to get ready, Thalia we're leaving in thirty five minutes"

"Yes boss" she smirked as she walked back into the spare room to change.

Once I was ready in my Valentino suit and Hermes shoes, I stood talking to Percy outside.

"What's going on with you two?" he whispered.

"Honestly, I have never wanted a woman so badly in my entire life. It's driving me crazy." I confided in him.

"Even more than the time you hadn't had sex in four months and then you screwed that French model in the supply closet at Silena's wedding?"

I smirked at the memory but nodded, "Definitely worse. I am very sure I'm going to contract a deadly case of blue balls pretty soon."

Percy's mouth formed a circle as he mouthed, "Oh"

"I don't know how much longer I can do this," I threw my head into my hands.

The sound of heels clacking along my marble floor brought me out of my moping state and when Thalia emerged I knew I was officially done for. She looked mouth-watering in a grey gown which exposed her back all the way to her waist. Her creamy skin looked perfect in the dress and the blue heels she wore only served to elongate her body and add more curves.

Percy nudged me and my mouth snapped closed, unfortunately my Penis had other ideas and wanted to make itself shown. I cleared my throat, "You look ravishing Thalia." She blushed and the bob cut on her head covered a side of her face.

"Jason, Piper, we're leaving. Don't do anything naughty she commanded as she walked out of the house with Percy and I in tow.

I decided that my Mercedes s class would be fitting for this occasion so I opened the door for Thalia and waved at Percy who drove off in his BMW. I slid into the driver's seat and started the engine. There was still an awkward silent because of the ordeal earlier this evening but when we both started singing along to American idiot by Green day. The awkwardness seemed to melt away.

Once we arrived at the dinner, all male eyes were on Thalia and I did not like that. I wrapped my arm around her waist which warded them off, but it meant I was in close proximity to her, almost too close. She didn't seem uncomfortable with my closeness and as she stood in my arm while we entered the venue, I couldn't help but notice how she was the perfect height for me.

The dinner was a phenomenal success and even I had a good time. We managed to secure the stone we needed for our winter exhibit and Thalia and I were in a jolly mood. I was particularly impressed with her ability to work the crowd as she did and she was the main catalyst which got Mrs Davenport to agree to the sale.

The rest of the evening flew by and by the time it was eleven thirty I decided it was time to leave. Thalia had said she was going to the bathroom but she was taking too long so I went towards that area to look for her. I found her as she walked out of the bathroom and she smiled when she saw me, "You were phenomenal this night," I said as I placed my hand on her back.

She blushed and stiffened, "Thanks," she said as she smiled up at me. I led her back into the car and we made our way back to my apartment.

THALIA

The rest of the week in the office, he was barely there because he was finishing other deals for the remaining centre pieces for the Christmas display and exhibit. On Friday after work, I was heading out of the supermarket when I caught someone patted my arm. "Thalia? It's me Annabeth, Percy's girlfriend."

I turned around to face the pretty blonde and smiled, "Hey Annabeth, nice to see you. How are you, how's Percy?"

"I'm great, busy with work and the Kids, but I'm great." She smiled, I raised my eyebrows, "You have Kids I thought you and Percy weren't married?"

"We aren't married because we were too busy having kids and I didn't want to rush anything."

"How old are your kids?" I asked bewildered,

"They're twins and they're turning two soon." She smiled widely. I gave her a look, "Yeah I know I'm only twenty five. Percy and I have been together since we were sixteen and I fell in love with him sometime around my thirteenth birthday. Not to mention that we've been sleeping together since I turned seventeen. So technically it wasn't unplanned." She winked.

I laughed with her, "Anyway, moving on from me how's things with Nico?" I suddenly remembered the ruse, "Um yeah, yeah things are great!" I said trying to make it sound true.

She smiled and nodded, "That's great. I was just thinking are you free tomorrow evening?"

"Yeah I am, why?" "I was thinking we all go on a double date since Nico, Percy and I have been friends forever but we've never really liked his girlfriends except you."

"Yeah that sounds fun" I said with fake enthusiasm. I wonder how I am going to explain this to Nico.

"Great, I'll text Nico and Percy to let them know and I'll text Nico the time and place alright?" I nodded, unable to form anymore words.

"See you later!" she said as she walked away waving.

"Bye, good luck with the kids!" I shouted back when I found my voice. "Shit" I muttered under my breath as I left the store.
