Daughter of Hades
Chapter 14 -A Date-
[Sarah's POV]
-
I woke up smiling like an idiot. Thalia lay in my arms just like she had last night.

After the second kiss she'd admitted to being tired, as did I because we'd been up all night. We decided to sleep.

I wasn't sure what woke me up until-

"SARAH AVENJEZÈ I AM FAIRLY SURE YOU ARE DOWN HERE!"

Thalia stirred. "Why is Nico shouting in my basement?"

"Because I'm an idiot and didn't text him back." I replied and sat up. Thalia grabbed my hand, I squeezed it reassuringly and moved out of her little area.

Nico, who was standing in the middle of the room, saw me immediately and rushed over hugging me fiercely.

"What happened? Are you alright? Was it monsters? Thalia? Dad?" He asked with a worried expression on his face.

"Love to hear that I'm on your 'Danger's to Sarah' list!" Thalia yelled sarcastically from behind the bookshelves.

Nico glanced at them suspiciously. "Hi...Thalia...what's going on?" He looked back to me and seemed to notice the joy filling my eyes.

I smiled and hugged Nico again. "We kissed!"

I heard a sigh. "Oh, why don't you just shout it for the entire school to hear!" A mildly annoyed Thalia snapped.

I ignored her and released Nico. He smiled, happy for me. "Well I'll leave you two alone then."

"Tell the others I'm fine and to screw off. Tell Annabeth, and quote this, she's reading in the dark. Disturb and you die." Thalia called out.

Nico nodded. "Okay..."

The he left, closing the basement door. I went back into the Thalia's little area. She was sat up on a bean bag and I sat across from her.

"What now?" I asked.

She smirked. "Duh, a date."

"A date?"

"A date. Isn't that usually what people do when they like each other? Granted the kissing usually comes after the date...guess we ignored that part." Thalia smiled again, moving towards her safe.

She realized I still hadn't said anything and she rolled her eyes. "Sorry, Sarah, would you like to go on a date with me?"

I shook myself out of my daze and smiled widely. "Absolutely."

Thalia smirked again and unlocked her safe. "Awesome." She pulled out a key ring and clipped it to her belt. She closed the safe again and grabbed my hand pulling me up.

"So now?" She asked checking the time on her phone. "It's about four so almost dinner time."

I laughed. "It took Nico till four to find me?"

Thalia took my hand, lacing her fingers with mine. "The boy needs to step up his game."

I smiled and we left the basement together, untangling our hands when we reached the door. We seemed to have a shared understanding that we didn't want anyone to know yet.

We walked down a back hallway and to a door leading out from the back.

"Don't we need money?" I asked wondering if Thalia planned to somehow not pay for whatever she planned for this date.

"Won't need much." She said unlocking the door. "I'm going to take you out to dinner. The restaurant I've got in mind-" she shoved the under used door open letting in the cool fresh air. "Well the chef owes me a free meal."
