Valentino's [1]

I nodded, "More to tell than me. Just go ahead." I smiled.

Sighing, Jace looks up at the stars.
"Look up there." He tells her. "Do you think anything can live out there?"

I shrugged, "Uh....Yeah. I guess. Aliens." I looked over at him. "Why?"

"Because you're with one." He whispers.

I looked at him and smiled, "Your playing around with me arent you?" I said standing. "Ha, nice one. Let me try-" I cleared my throat. "I'm a dead person and am a ghost." I said laughing. "Now seriously, tell me."

Jace flashes a smile at her but doesn't laugh, looking at her.
"I'm completely serious."

I cross my arms, looking out onto the horizon. "What?" I said shocked. "Well..." I looked down at him and jumped back in the pool. " Um...I don't know what to say to that." I said resting my arms on the side of the pool.

Jace sits up and looks at her, sighing.
"You don't have to say anything." He says. "Just...Are you okay with it? It's not like I'm truly some slimy, green monster. This is my one and only form."

I nodded smiling. "Yeah. Thats freaking cool." I laughed. "It's amazing." I shrugged. "It's kinda like me. I'm not 'From Earth'" I said in quotes.

Jace smiles at her reaction.
"You're Olympian, right? A demi-goddess?"

I nodded, "Yeah. When I turn twenty I'm oficially a goddess," I said shrugging. "Daughter of...." I trailed off grinning. "Of...Apollo," I lied smiling sheepishly.

"Apollo." Jace nods. "Poetry then. At least, that's one of his special things, right? Be a poet for me."
He smiles and flips on his stomach to face her.

I shake my head, "No..." I shake my head. "Fine. I'm not the daughter of Apollo." I said guilty.

Jace frowns for a second, then studies her.
"Who are you the daughter of then?" He asks.

"Aphrodite." I say, then go underwater, embarassed.
