Déjà Vu {A Luke Castellan Story} [Three]

•Eleven•

I rush around the apartment trying to finish my couple of rooms. We had split the rooms, Luke chose the living room, guest room, and kitchen. I got the main room, bathroom, and placing the dinning room table. Luke, being stronger than me had already gotten the living room done by the time I was half way through the Main Bedroom. I knew it would be impossible to finish before him. Luke went into the guest bedroom so I knew this would be my only opportunity. I run into the front room and head towards the kitchen, looking for the stools Luke still needed to set up. I find them and drag them away from the kitchen. Where would I even put these? I look down the hallway, the bathroom was pretty much done and I'm sure Luke wouldn't look in there. I dashed back into the master bedroom and finished up setting up. I will not be sleeping on the couch tonight.

I heard Luke's frantic footprints run back and fourth as I had just finished the bathroom and started to drag the table to it's spot. He started opening doors. I couldn't help but giggle as I heard his frustrated comments emitting from under his breath. "You're such a cheater!" He walked towards the kitchen and barely started to place stools down as I finished the last dinning room chair. More giggles escape my lips, "There's no proof. You could've misplaced them." I jump onto the couch from behind. "Yes I clearly misplaced them in the bathroom of all places!" I shrugged, "It could happen." Knowing Luke he probably rolled his eyes. He walked over and moved my feet off the couch so he could sit. I pout, "I was comfortable." The blond just rolled his eyes, "Feet off my bed." I just laugh causing Luke to let out a few laughs of his own, "You're the biggest cheater I know." I sit up and yell defensively, "There were no rules!" Luke burst out laughing, "You're going to get us kicked out. We've only been here for a few hours."

There was a knock at our door, "I'll get it." I get up and make my way to the door looking through the peep hole. I sigh and open the door, "What now?" I laugh a bit as Nico looks offended, "I just wanted to invite you two for pizza." I look over to Luke who was watching this all go down. "It's on me, well more Will." I laugh as he pulls out some cash. "Is Will going with us?" Nico shakes his head, "He's busy with homework." I look back to Luke who was all ready to go, "I guess that's a 'yes.'" Luke walks out the door and I shut it making sure to lock it also. Nico led us down the streets to a small little pizza parlor. It looked like any ordinary pizza shop, booths for seats, the tile flooring, the mainly red decorations. Nico told us to get a seat and he would order the pizza. There was an empty booth in the corner so we went to go sit there. Luke slid into one side and I slid into the other, Luke looked at be and pretended to be offended. "I live with you. You're fine." We both laughed at each other.

Nico walked over with a little number tent and sat down next to me. "So Will had homework?" Nico nods, "he's studying medicine." We joke around about a spawn of Apollo not needing to study medicine. "What about you Nico? Study anything?" He just shrugged, "Forensic Psychology, I graduated last year." I look at Nico so he could go more into depth. "Psychology in the civil or criminal areas." Both Luke and I make the 'oh' sound suddenly understanding. "Are you guys gonna start classes?" Luke shrugs, "I was never huge on classes." Both of their attention shifts to me for an answer. "I guess I could continue (desired class)." Nico nods, "that should be fun." I roll my eyes, "Yes, doing homework and studying from a book. So much fun." Our table shares some laughs as a waiter places a large pizza in front of us along with some plates and cups for drinks. She smiles especially sweet and a bit  flirtatious towards Luke, which made me a bit uncomfortable and something else I could quite put a finger on.

She walked away finally allowing us to eat some food in peace. Half way through eating the door made the little jingle sound indicating that someone opened the door. I was too busy in conversation with Luke to bother looking up. Nico's breath hitched a little bit. I look up to him, "you okay?" He just silently nods. He stands up quickly telling me to sit next to Luke, I slide out of the booth and sit by Luke. If I would trust my life in his hands, I wasn't going to question him. He told us he'd be back and rushed off to the bathroom. "Wonder what that was about." I shrug and continue to eat the pizza Nico had bought. People sit in the booth behind us and start laughing. I listen closely to what they say, they could be the reason Nico left so quickly. Luke pats my shoulder, "Hey, let me out so I can go check on Nico." I nod silently and move so the blond can leave also. "Wise girl, come on you know that was funny." I heard another voice respond, "Not that funny."
