No Demigod...How About An Oracle? ❎

Black High Heels

Reyna's POV:

The ride to the coffee shop was uneventful and quiet, or as Reyna would describe- nothing like yesterday. Reyna quickly grew bored at the silence, but mostly spent the time wondering if she had done something. Reyna thought that if Rachel was this quiet she was nervous, maybe disgusted even? 

Reyna quickly cleared her mind as the car stopped. "Thank you." Rachel replied quietly, Reyna nodded- agreeing with her. Reyna payed the driver of the taxi, since they had walked out of camp and into New York. Again, they walked to the coffee shop in silence, Rachel seriously couldn't hide her nervous expression. Reyna managed to read the sign once they had gotten close enough. "Auntie A's Cafe. Hm, sounds nice." Reyna commented, trying to make conversation.

And as if magic- Rachel spoke to her. "Thanks, it has good espressos." Her voice was still quiet but was progressively getting louder. 

The next action however- no one could prepare Reyna for. Not her combat training, not her crushes on Percy and Jason, not even the war she fought in recently. Rachel, took a deep breath, and took her hand. Reyna stiffened instantly, the warmth spreading through her body made her feel giddy and sick,Reyna- yet, wanted the feeling to go away. Just then, Rachel let go, and Reyna felt a disappointment.

The sick feeling was replaced with the normal emptiness and Reyna was kind of sad- okay Reyna was overly unhappy about the change. She looked at Rachel, only to find her looking back at her. It hadn't startled Reyna- but she still wasn't expecting it as much. It had been only a few seconds since the feeling had gone and it drove Reyna crazy.

Making the most bold move she could, she grabbed Rachel's hand. The feeling came back, making Reyna smile. She could see Rachel's lips slowly curl up- making her smile even more because of the fact that Rachel was smiling. "Come on. Let's go get some coffee." Reyna said, surprised by the shyness in her voice. Rachel's smile grew and she nodded. Reyna looked at Rachel for a response, Rachel nodded bashfully and they went through the doors of the cafe. 

Reyna was instantly hit with the smell of brewing coffee and doughnuts. "Mhhmm." Both girls said at the same time, forgetting their nervousness. They both laughed, and sat at a near by table. Reyna thought the table was extremely over dressed- well if there is such thing as an over dressed table. The table had a golden table cloth, a silver and pink center piece (That Reyna personally thought looked like a image of a sword and a puff of smoke), the chairs looked like they were made of silver (only to be made of plastic), and finally the golden table cloth had some kind of lace- which Reyna found hideous. 

"Why and how did Barbie projectile vomit on this poor table?" Rachel joked, Reyna laughed, and nodded- agreeing with her (very true) statement. They sat at the near entrance, hearing the door bell ring every time some one entered- which both girls found very annoying. Then- as if on cue, a overly enthusiastic woman came up to them.

"Hellllo! My name is Rebecca and I will be providing you service today. Are you ready to order?" She asked, her face looking like she had a million plastic surgeries and had her 3 year old granddaughter do her makeup. Reyna almost cringed at the woman's face, actually scratch that- she did cringe. Rebecca looked at her dirtily, like she was imagining shooting her with a machine gun. Reyna returned the dirty look, "Actually we have no menus!" Rachel said politely, Rebecca looked at Rachel. "Oh, dearly sorry Hun!" She said, Rachel looked at Rebecca. 

"So, how about I get your number?Then I give you and your friend some menus?" Rebecca said, staring at Rachel. This made Reyna extremely uncomfortable and jealous- therefore not thinking of her next actions. "excuse me, but I do believe your manager won't be happy to know that you are flirting with my girlfriend?" Reyna asked furiously. Rachel- catching on to what she was saying decided to play along. "It's okay babe, she didn't know." Rachel said, holding Reyna's hand. Reyna's stomach erupted with emotion and she tried to filter what she was saying. 

Reyna's mind rebelled though, instead of just shutting her mouth- like she had planned. She had looked at Rachel, a kind look in her eyes- well the kindest she could muster. And She placed her hand on Rachel's (That was placed on her other hand.. XD, sorry continue) "I guess you're right babe. I probably should calm down. Love you." She said, Rachel's smiled faded for a split second- and Reyna saw hurt in her eyes. Had she taken it to far? What if Rachel hates her now?

Rachel's face had a smile on it as she turned to Rebecca. "Now, if you may- can we please have the menus?" She said, spatting out the word menus. Reyna had made her mad hadn't she? 'What else could it be genius, you made her mad and now she will never want to hang out with me again. She just would find it rude to get up and leave.' Reyna thought to herself as Rebecca jogged to get the menus. 

"S-sorry if that made you uncomfortable." Reyna instantly apologized, seeing Rebecca had vanished for at least a minute or two. "I-it's fine. I actually didn't mind." Rachel said, staring straight into Reyna's eyes, showing that she wasn't lying.

"Here are your menus, please call when your ready!" Rebecca said, avoiding eye contact. Both girls took the menus and nodded. Reyna quickly skimmed the page, looking for anything that sounded good- because Reyna never had any coffee before. She knew it was kinda dumb going to a cafe to get coffee and only to never have had coffee before.

"Um, what are you getting?" Reyna asked Rachel. Rachel looked up from her menu, "I personally have no clue. I heard from a friend that this is a good place." She said, almost as red as her hair. "It's okay. I personally never have ever had coffee." Reyna admitted, Rachel nodded. 

"This coffee shop- well cafe. Was the first thing that popped to mind. " Rachel said embarrassed. "Well, you did a good job at finding Barbie's cafe, hopefully the coffee is better than Barbie's obsession with only one color clothes." Reyna joked, Rachel laughed. "We are breaking little girls hearts by insulting their 'idol'." Rachel joked, Reyna nodded. Then, music started from a speaker in the cafe. Reyna instantly noticed the tune, it was C'mon by Panic! At The Disco. "Yes! I love this song!" Reyna said louder than necessary, "Same!" Rachel said, just as loud as Reyna.

The girls started being like they were last night- weird and crazy. They weren't very aware of their surroundings while singing and dancing to the song they both loved.

"It's getting late, and I

Cannot seem to find my way home tonight
Feels like I am falling down a rabbit hole
Falling for forever, wonderfully wandering alone
What would my head be like
If not for my shoulders
Or without your smile
May it follow you forever
May it never leave you
To sleep in the stone,
May we stay lost on our way homeC'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilitiesIf I should die tonight

May I fir-" 

Reyna and Rachel's singing (screaming) was interrupted by Rebecca. "Um, excuse me but you are very disruptive to the people around you, so as an employer. I must ask you girls to leave." She said, looking at them like they had just destroyed her cake she had worked on for hours. "Um, we are dearly sorry!" Rachel said, as they were kicked out of the cafe. "Well that was interesting." Reyna muttered, almost laughing at their performance. "We could always just look at the stores?" Rachel suggested, Reyna shrugged. "Okay, let's go. I've never been here before." She said, before Rachel grabbed her hand and dragged her to Forever 21. (I have never been to New York so excuse my inaccurate information).

Hey Guys! How was that? I am thinking of slowing down the relationship a bit, because I personally think I am going to fast. But anyway, please vote, comment, and follow!

Xoxoxoxoxoxo and A Pineapple And  A Half,
