Mount Olympus [2]

Nic

I smile at Jackie and sit on the arm of her chair, Halee grabbing onto her hair.

``````````````
Jace

I look back at her, "I'll drive you. I don't want you walking. It's too far and you...were just in an accident. You shouldn't do so much."

I pause before saying the next thing on my mind.

"Can you possibly have a talk with your boss? You're married...which means that the only person who should be acting like a couple with you is your husband. I don't... Just...Please."

Jackie

She grabs onto my hair and I smile at her, letting her do as she wanted.

`````````````````````````````
Rayah

I nod, "Okay, but...I need you to come in with me then. Explain it to her. She's tough and wont listen to reasoning from anyone."

Nic

I smile at them, watching.

```````````
Jace

I nod, "I will. And she will listen. It's not fair to subject a person to things past their limitations or limitations set by those they're close to. I'll have Alyx look after the twins...or your sister. Whoever you want."

Jackie

She starts staring at me and I smile waching, "What?"

She touches my hair again and opens her mouth, "Pweetty."

"Pretty?" I re-word it, smiling wider, "Well thank you," I chuckle, bringing her in my lap and kissing her forehead, "You are too."

`````````````````````````````
Rayah

I nod, "Doesn't matter to me either. And she'll hopefully listen."

Nic

I smile at the two and sigh, sitting back.

``````````````
Jace

I nod, "She will. I'll make sure of that."

Jackie

I flash a smile at Nic and let Halee run off. I watch her as she does, not wanting her to get hurt.

```````````````````
Rayah

I study him, "What are you going to do?"

Nic

I watch Halee run off, as does Jackie, and sigh again.

``````````````````
Jace

I flash a smile and look at her, "I'm a pacifist, in case you've forgotten. Whatever I do...it's not going to be as bad as what Nic would do if he was in my shoes."

Jackie

I smile and look back at Nic, "What do you wanna do?"

`````````````````````````````````
Rayah

"Jay...tell me what you're gonna do," I beg, sighing.

Nic

I smile and shrug, "What do you want to do?"

``````````````````
Jace

I sigh and study her, "I'm just going to talk. Who said I'd do more?"

Jackie

I shrug, "That's why I'm asking you."

``````````````````````````````````
Rayah

I look at him, "If she says no."

Nic

I flash a smile and sigh, "We could watch a movie or something."

``````````````
Jace

I study her, suppressing a smile, "She's not going to say no..."

Jackie

I shrug, "Nah. Lets play...Um...Oh! Would you rather, " I nod, "Or we could play Truth or Dare if Jace and Rayah were here...That would be fun. Haven't played that since college. When I wasn't drunk."

```````````````````````````````````
Rayah

I nod, biting my lip, "She probrably will..."

Nic

I flash a smile, "Fine. Whatever you want."

``````````````
Jace

I shake my head, "I won't let her."

Jackie

"'Truth or Dare," I nod, "I'm calling Rayah. She never says no to that game," I chuckle, pulling my phone out.

```````````````````````````
Rayah

I sigh, "But--"

I get a text and check my phone.



"Oh my god," I smile wide, looking up at Jace, "Can we pllleasseeee go over to Nic and Jackie's? I wanna play Truth or Dare."

Nic

I smile and nod, going to check on Halee.

```````````````
Jace

I smile at her and nod, "Fine. I'll get - "

Alyx appears before us and takes Logan from my hands, heading up to our room without a word.

"Uh...let's just go," i stand and shake my head.
