Love Story: Thalia and Luke

14

"Can you be any stupider?" she sighed as they walked into the Zeus cabin. The blonde shrugged and looked at the tiny brunette with an amused grin.

She whirled around and glared at him with her electrifying blue eyes, "Seriously Luke, what the Hades were you thinking. You're trying to get people to accept you again and you go and prank Clarisse, of all people you prank Clarisse."

Luke shrugged, "Not exactly sure but it was nice to prank someone again."

She rolled her eyes and plopped down onto the bed, "You're seriously an idiot."

Luke plopped down next to her and looked over at her, "You don't think I don't know that?"

Thalia laughed and ran her hand through her choppy raven hair and let out a shaky breath, "I figured you didn't know that."

"Are you nervous," Luke asked her, "why on Earth are you nervous?"

She shook her head, "I'm not nervous, I'm just thinking."

She propped herself up on her elbows and looked out the window. Luke looked over at her and laughed, "You're nervous."

"Why exactly would I be so nervous?" she asked with another, uncharacteristic shaky laugh.

Luke shrugged and propped himself onto his elbows as well, "You want to kiss me!"

She rolled her eyes, "I do not!"

"You do too!" he grinned.

She didn't say anything for a moment realizing that maybe, the smallest part of her wanted to kiss him. Slowly he leaned over, grating his teeth against his bottom before leaning closer to Thalia who took a jagged breath. Luke pressed his lips to hers in a soft kiss until it intensified to making out. Of course Luke had been wanting to do this for ages but now that he was actually kissing her, none of it felt truly real.

Thalia pulled away causing Luke to whimper slightly from loss of contact, "Well then..."

Luke looked into her eyes, "Maybe you're not the only one who thought about kissing."

Thalia was about to ask him what he meant when he smashed his lips to hers once again pouring every ounce of feeling that he had in his body into that one kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.

Finally they both pulled away in need of air and fear of something else happening if they didn't separate themselves. Luke just looked down at her and smirked, "You wanted to kiss me."

She smacked him with her pillow and kissed him softly before laughing, "Maybe I did."
