Mount Olympus [2]

Jace

I flash a smile and watch her, running a hand through her hair, "Where do you want to have our wedding? When too?"

``````````````
Nic

I smile at her and shrug, "What do you want to do, miss Jackie? Oh! My brother writes poetry. Wanna steal a few glances at his notebook with me?"

Rayah

I think about it, "Here. On the beach. And I don't know. A couple days? My mom can get it set up really quick. But you have to help me pick out a dress."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jackie

I shrug, playing with his hair, "Would he let you?"

Jace

A..couple...days?

"Uh...okay," I say, "Sure. Here's perfect."

````````````````````
Nic

I watch her, "Probably not, but that's what makes it fun."

Rayah

I nod, "Yeah. It's pretty out here," I yawn, "Should we head back to your house?"

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Jackie

I study him, "Okay, sure," I flash a smile, "Where's his poetry? Wait, which brother? Because If Rayah finds out I was looking at it's Jace's then she is gonna kill me..."

Jace

I shrug, "If you want, sure. It'd be warmer."

```````````````
Nic

I pout, "It's Jace's... Pity. Too bad Alyx doesn't write poetry..."

Rayah

I nod, standing, "C'mon."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Jackie

I flash a smile, "S'Alright. We can do something else. Um..." I think, "Whatelse do you wanna do?"

Jace

I stand and take her hand, walking with her.

``````````````
Nic

I smile and shrug, "Whatever you wanna do, I'm cool with."

Rayah

We get to Jace's house and I see Jackie on Nic's lap, they were giggling. I smirk at them and walk up to Jackie knowing what'll make her freak, "Guess what."

She looks up at me, "Oh hey. And what?"

I show her my hand and the ring and her eyes widen. "Holy sh*t, Rayah!" She laughs.

I nod and she covers her mouth, "Congrats!"

I smile, "Thank you," I keep holding Jace's hand.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jackie

She's engaged...

I couldn't stop smiling at them, staying on Nic's lap. "That's great, guys," I punch Rayah in the arm playfully.

Jace

We get home and Jackie is on Nic's lap, all cuddly and stuff. Shaking my head, I follow Rayah in front of them and smile as she shows Jackie her ring. Nic looks at me, eyebrow raised, and I just roll my eyes at him.

``````````````````
Nic

Whoa...Well, that relationship moved fast.

Jackie can't stop smiling and I can't say that I'm not excited for my brother. It takes a few moments for the idea of him being married before me to settle in, but once it does I'm smiling all the same.

Rayah

Jackie's smile fades as she looks at the necklace I'm wearing, "Wait. Rayah..."

I look at her, confused, "What?"

She shakes her head, "Nothing. I'll talk to you later," She looks at the floor.

"Tell me now," I nag.

She looks up at me, "Who gave you that?"

I shrug, "Don't remember. I've had this since...fourth grade."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jackie

I remember....

I shake my head again, "Then Nevermind. It's not important."

She studies me before turning back to Jace.

Jace

I study Jackie, "If it wasn't important....Why did you make notice of it?"

````````````````
Nic

Oh god..My baby brother's just like me. I don't wanna be caught in the middle of this again.

"Want something to drink?" I move Jackie off my lap and stand, awkward.

Rayah

I let it go. "It's alright, Jay," I tell him, "If she doesn't want to tell she doesn't have to."

,,,,,,,,,,,

Jackie

I just shake my head and look at Nic, "Uh...No thanks."

My mind keeps switching focus and I take my head in my hands, taking a deep breath, "Just forget about it."

Rayah sighs and looks at Jace, whispering something to him before dragging him upstairs.

Jace

I just go with it, following Rayah upstairs when she whispers in my ear.

````````````````````
Nic

Rayah and Jace leave and I just sit back at Jackie's side, "Sorry. You okay?"

Rayah

I sit on his bed and look up at him, "Can we lay together for a while? I need to get my mind off something."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Jackie

I nod and look at Nic, "Yeah. I'm just thinking of a million things at once."

Jace

I sit at her side, nodding, "Sure, but what's on your mind?"

```````````````````
Nic

I nod and wrap an arm around her waist, leaning her against me, "Stop thinking then."
