Mount Olympus

Rayah

I glare at him. "I'm not good in the morning. Deal with it," I mutter, looking away and eating another chocolate.

Jace

I say nothing, not wanting her mood sent in my direction. Alyx shuts up and pulls my notebook from under his shirt.

"Where...why was that there?" I ask, confused.

He shrugs and flips through it.

"Nic gave it to me and I fell asleep reading it," he says, "I guess...it crawled there. I don't know."

Notebooks don't crawl, Alyx.

He turns upside down, his legs hanging over the top of the couch and his head hanging near the floor, and reads it to himself.

Rayah

I narrow my eyes at Alyx. "Give that back to Jace or I will burn you're a*s off," I threaten. "And I'm not kidding."

Jace

I love it when she's pissed.

Alyx studies her a moment before looking at me. I take the notebook back and slip it under the cushion of the couch for safe keeping. He stays where he is, just hanging.

Rayah

I nod and lean back, closing my eyes for a second. "I feel like bossing someone around." I mutter. I take out my phone and ask my dad if he needs me to babysit Cupid.

Jace

For some strange reason, I almost offer to take her up on that. I bite my tongue instead, trying to figure out where that thought came from.

Rayah

I look over at Jace. "Can Cupid come over? My dad said he's at a meeting and I'll get extra allowance if I watch him," I say.

Jace

Ugh. That kid bugs the crap out of me.

"Sure," I say, "Why not..."

Rayah

I nod and someone knocks on the door. "That's him."

I stand and open it, Cupid standing there with a grin. "Hey."

I nod, letting him in. "Hey."

He glances around and looks at Jace, shaking his head before looking at me. "What do I do?"

He sees the chocolate and I swear, taking him by the rist and sitting him on the couch next to me. "If you get me pissed off I will hurt you," I threaten, leaning against Jace.

Jace

I watch, flashing a smile at Rayah's threat, and wrap an arm around her stomach when she leans against me.

Rayah

I flash a smile back at Jace and kiss him.

"God! Rayah, can you go one freaking day without kissing someone?!" Cupid yells, annoyed.

I chuckle but don't stop, wanting to annoy the crap out of him.

Jace

I smile and kiss her back, closing my eyes and letting her do as she wants.

Rayah

I pull back and smile, glancing at Cupid. He starts staring at me and I shift uncomfortably. I hate it when he does this. I try to zone him out and just focus on Jace.

Jace

Cupid does this weird thing and Rayah shifts uncomfortably. I watch her, wondering what she wants from me next.

"You're annoying," Alyx speaks, looking at the kid, "And your past...it bothers me."

Rayah

I chuckle at Alyx and look at Cupid. Cupid looks at him with a smirk.

"I'm annoying?" He chuckles, "Yeah. Okay."

I sigh and get annoyed, throwing him the keys to my car. "Don't crash it."

He looks at me, smiling. "Are you serious?"

I nod. "Yeah. Go bother Becca. No wait, not Becca. Go bother Jesse," I say.

He nods and takes off, running to my car.
