IN BETWEEN (Nico di Angelo) Percy Jackson Fanfic

Chapter 12

After two months in camp Half-Blood, Mom and Dad showed up and took us for a family outing since they missed us already. Nico was always in the Underworld or Italy after our encounter with Daniel. The Aphrodite kids were reluctant to gossip about what happened.

Which was really unusual.

Currently, we are in our manor in London and my iHome was blasting music called 'By Your Side' by Jonas Blue. My feet were stomping with the beat while I read my book entitled 'Black Key' by Amy Ewing. At the corner of my room, Wendy was trying her new hair curler.

When the beat became so catchy, I dropped my book and danced. Wendy also joined me, we were giggling and our hair flew everywhere. The door opened and our brothers came to view. We abruptly stopped dancing and meet their eyes.

Then the four of us bursted into fits of laughter.

"That was epic!" Wendy laughed.

"You should see your faces! HA!" Nathan exclaimed.

We all laughed and rolled on the floor. Mom and Dad ran into my room with confused looks. They asked if we were fine.

"Mom! Dad! They were dancing like insane people!" Andrei answered.

"They were jumping like this! And waving their arms like that!" Nathan imitated our moves and made him look like he's gay.

Mom and Dad bursted into fits of laughter, a moment we shouldn't let pass. Andrei was already working on the camera.

"Andrei! Stop filming!" Dad said, making mom giggle.

"No can do daddy woo!" Me and Andrei sang.

"Twins. I'm warning you"

"As if we're going to post it on YouTube or Instagram" I rolled my eyes.

"Or! Or share it on Facebook!" Nathan said then followed by a cute giggle.

We bursted into fits of laughter while Dad groaned and purposely rolling his eyes. We were having a great time when a maid came and announced an arrival of a guest.

My guest.

Our faces were all confused and alert. Knowing our situation, it's hard to guess if your guest is a friend or foe.

"Stay here. If that guest wants Sera, we have to make sure that the guest won't see her first," Andrei suggested and they approved then my twin brother turned to me. "I'll go. Open your mind so I can send the signal"

I nodded and watched our brother walk towards the receiving area. As seconds passed by, my hands were shaking uncontrollably. Mom was rubbing my back up and down to soothe my nerves while Dad and Nathan stood in front of us. Then I got impatient.

"What's taking you so long!?" I asked my brother via our connection.

"gods! I'm sorry, I'm having so much fun!" He chuckled and I groaned.

"Stop laughing and tell me who it is!" I demanded.

"Chill sis! It's just your lover boy"

"Daniel?"

"Hundred percent Daniel Grigori"

I could imagine my brother nodding his head in confirmation. My shaking nerves now an agitated bundle of excitement. It seemed that Iris-message doesn't work on Angels so Daniel and I were stuck on FaceTime if he had the chance but most of the time just a simple text message.

My mouth broke into a grin which my sister immediately noticed.

"Who is it?" She asked.

"Daniel" I said before breaking into a sprint towards the receiving area.

My footsteps interrupted Andrei and Daniel and it made them avert their attention to me. Daniel stood up just in time when I threw myself at him.

"I missed you!" I snuggled into his chest.

"I missed you too! That's why I'm here," He chuckled. Daniel whispered something to my ear. "I'm taking you out, princess"

My eyes shined at the sound of his plan. Daniel asked my parents for their permission to take me out and they immediately said yes. Quickly, I pulled Daniel to my room to pick an outfit.

"What do you want me to wear?" I asked my boyfriend who already made himself comfortable on my bed.

"Anything comfortable" He answered.

With his reply, I dig my closet for a comfortable clothes. I was already wearing black skinny jeans and all I have to get was my top. I picked out a black Adidas oversized  sweatshirt and took out my pair of white and black Superstar Adidas. My fingers quickly worked on a loose Dutch braid letting some strands frame my face. I was about to apply foundation when Daniel's remark stopped me.

"Do you really have to put on makeup on your face?" He commented.

"You don't want it?"

"I'm not saying I don't like makeup on you but please don't apply it like your sister does"

I chuckled at his comment. Daniel was like a brother to Wendy and he keep on telling her not to put on too much makeup but Wendy keeps on answering 'I look like a zombie without it'. As a matter of fact, she was born with everyday good hair day, pink plump lips, rosy high cheeks, perfect eyebrows and nose and her lashed were already long and curled.

She's perfect beyond comprehension.

While me, I was the meaning of simple in the family. Daniel said that my beauty was timeless, classy, simple but elegant. My hair was wavy blonde, eye color of the rarest emerald, that only appear  in the family after two generations and only to the first born of the family, my nose was thin and sharp, eyebrows weren't on flick but weren't on War either and my lashes were average. We're all born with pink plump lips that's why we're all even in that one.

"Only a touch up, don't worry" I winked at him.

I just patted foundation on my face, curled my lashes and applied tinted lip balm on my lips.

"So.... how do I look?" I twirled in front of my boyfriend and I saw him grin.

"My girl" He smirked at me.

"Touché Monsieur Grigori" I winked at him.

"Merci Mademoiselle Phaedra" He gave me an elaborated bow and I returned it by giving him the most graceful curtesy I can manage in my pants.
