Love Story: Thalia and Luke

7

Thalia stuck some popcorn in the microwave and dug around for more movie night snacks. She found Jones's Sodas, a bunch of candies, the popcorn, potato chips in tons of flavors, some cold pizza, and of course she made nachos supreme. What kind of movie night would it be with out her nachos? The front door opened and Luke walked in with a huge stack of movies he rented.

He wrapped his arms around his girlfriend and kissed her cheek, "Is everything ready?"

She nodded, "Everything's...." then the microwave went off.

"I'll get that." Luke said. He reached around her and grabbed the popcorn bowl and dumped the popcorn into it.

"What movies did you get?" Thalia asked.

"All the movies you requested." Luke said.

"All of them?" she asked.

Luke nodded, "All of them."

"Well that's a lot of movies." Thalia said.

"And we have a lot of time." Luke chuckled.

Thalia and Luke moved out to the living room making sure that they had all their snacks. Thalia looked around and sighed, "I forgot the blanket."

"Well you go get the blanket and I'll go change." Luke whispered.

Thalia dug through the linen closet in the hall for a blanket and found her favorite one. By the time she got out there Luke was changed and had the movie waiting. She blushed when she realized that he wasn't wearing a shirt...even at twenty she still wasn't over the fact that he had an amazing eight pack.

Luke smiled at her and patted the spot next to him, "Come on the movie's going to start."

She sat down and snuggled into his side just as the opening credits for the movie started. Luke already had the nachos in front of him, "I love it when you make nachos."

"Can you shut up the movie is on?" she laughed.

Halfway through the movie Thalia regretted even suggesting that Luke get a bunch of horror movies....he never once shut up.

"Don't open the....I told you not to open the closet." He muttered.

Thalia tired to ignore it but once they hit the second movie she couldn't take it, "Luke will you please just watch the movie?"

He looked at her, "Oh sorry."

"No big deal." She lied.

Halfway through the third movie Thalia could hear Luke snoring. She chuckled and carefully untangled herself from his arms to clean up a little. Just as she got up off the couch Luke woke up, "Wh...what are you doing?"

"I was cleaning up you're over there snoring." Thalia laughed.

"Oh..." with that he went back to snoring.

Thalia cleaned up the mess and stopped the movie. She was cleaning the dishes off and Luke walked into the kitchen.

"Why did you stop the movie?" he yawned.

"Because you were sleeping." Thalia rolled her eyes.

Luke wrapped his arms around her as she continued to do the dishes, rinsing them off and sticking them in the dishwasher.

"Would you just stay still?" Luke muttered with sleepy annoyance.

Thalia laughed, "Go to bed Luke."

"No not until you're in there." Luke defied her.

"Did you watch too many scary movies?" Thalia asked jokingly.

"You saw the way that the killer totally butchered that woman." Luke muttered.

"I'll be fine I promise you, the house is locked up like a prison." Thalia laughed.

With that Luke stalked off out of the kitchen and down the hallway to their bedroom.

Thalia finished up what she was doing and walked into their bedroom to find Luke sitting on Xbox Live talking to Percy.

"I thought you were tired." Thalia laughed.

"I tried to go back to sleep." Luke shrugged.

Thalia rolled her eyes, "Get off the Xbox and come to bed."

"No." Luke said.

"Are you seriously going to act like a five year old?" Thalia asked.

"I can't sleep."

"Are you saying that you're scared?" Thalia asked.

"No." his voice cracked slightly.

"Oh my God you're scared!" Thalia laughed.

"Shut up....no not you Percy." Luke said into the headpiece.

Thalia walked over to the plug and unplugged the Xbox, "Come on you can wake me up if you have a nightmare."

Luke stood up and wrapped his arms around her, "What if I don't want to go to sleep just yet?"

Thalia giggled as he kissed her neck, "I seriously think you've been watching too many horror movies...don't you know what happens to the couples who have sex?"

Luke chuckled, "I think that's a risk I'm willing to take."

Thalia smiled and kissed Luke, "Well then what are you waiting for."

The rest of the night was between them, no serial killers, no aliens, no hybrid humanoids, just the two of them.
