In This Together

Chapter 22

Frank

Hazel and I sat in the Hades cabin. Nico was out with Will, so we were alone. 

We talked about our wedding, which was to be in 3 months, and just about what we would do afterwards. "Well, I want an actual house in New Rome." Hazel said. 

I nodded and said, "Yeah that's what I want too, but as long as I am with you, I'll be happy." 

She smiled and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around her and placed my hands on her lower back. She kissed me harder and it felt amazing. I was suddenly very aware of how close her body was to mine. It actually felt nice. She wrapped her legs around my waist and sat in my lap. I lifted her up and put her on her bed. I moved myself on top of her. 

"Frank, w-we shouldn't. Frank, this scares me." She said quietly. I then realized what was about to happen if we continued. 

"Ok, it's ok. We only have to wait three more months anyway." I said with a smirk. She smiled at that thought. 

"Seriously guys?" 

We looked toward the door and saw Nico standing there. We both got up immediately. I could feel my ears turn red and Hazel was fanning herself. 

"Stinkin straight people. Every time a straight couple is alone they just can't control themselves." He looked disgusted. 

"Well, brother," Hazel began, "what have you and Will been doing this whole time? In case you haven't noticed, you are wearing his shirt, which I am quite sure you weren't wearing when you left."
