Mount Olympus [2]

Jace

Modeling... God, that's like selling herself.

I don't say anything back, not wanting to get in the way of what she thinks she wants.

Nic

I flash a smile and shrug, walking out of the room, "That's classified information."

Rayah

I shrug again and jump off the counter, finishing my pizza and flashing a smile, "I'm going to sleep," I start walking upstairs, "Night."

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

I watch him, suspicious, before following, "Tell me," I nudge him, flashing a smile.

Jace

I wait until she leaves to break out a bottle of scotch and down half of it in one sitting.

Damn. She's modeling? When the freak did that idea pop into her head?

Once done, I put the bottle away and wipe my lips, heading up after her.

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

I smile at her and shake my head, jumping on the couch and plopping down. I think to turn the T.V. on before remembering I'm still hungry. Jumping up, I grab a six pack of sodas and a bag of chips before sitting back down and flipping through the channels to find a movie where everything exploded every five seconds.

Rayah

I change into a tank top and shorts before he comes in, and wash the makeup from my face. I jump in bed once settled, and yawn, closing my eyes.

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

I watch him, blinking, before making my way back upstairs, "Have fun," I chuckle, going into our room and plopping on the bed, planning to text for the next hour.

Jace

I change into sweatpants and leave my shirt off, crawling into bed beside her. Kissing her forehead goodnight, I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

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

Jackie goes upstairs and I smile, chuckling to myself. Something else explodes and I decide to make the best of things, cramming a handful of chips in my mouth, "Woo-hoo! You go, Bruce Willis!"

Rayah

"Night," I whisper, cuddling into him, my eyes still closed.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,,..

jackie

I chuckle at him and put my headphones in so I couldn't hear him, slowly falling asleep as I do.

Jace

I wrap my arms back around her and sigh, "Night."

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

I decide the movie sucks and down about four sodas and half the bag of chips before heading upstairs to find Jackie asleep. Flashing a smile, I change into my pajamas and tuck her in. I take her headphones out and set everything on the nightstand before heading down to check on Halee one last time.

Rayah

I smile and nod, finding him warm, and yawn one last time before dozing off to sleep.

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

I feel him tuck me in and take the headphones in. I smile before sighing and cuddling with a pillow.

Jace

I take a deep breath and doze off a little, only half asleep.

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

Seeing that Halee is content, I head back upstairs and lay beside Jackie. I kiss her forehead and turn the lights off, closing my eyes.

Rayah

I wake to my alarm the next morning, moaning, and smack the top of it for it to stop. I wait a few minutes before getting out of bed to go and wake up the twins for school.

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

I wake the next morning right on time before my alarm goes off.
I sigh and roll on my stomach, not ready to wake up yet.

Jace

An alarm goes off and I cover my head with a pillow, groaning.

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

I open my eyes and take a deep breath, pulling Jackie closer and kissing her neck, "What if I just called in sick today? I don't want to leave the house."

Rayah

Once I wake up Riley and Logan, I scoop them up and carry them downstairs, getting them breakfast before walking back up to Jace, "I'm going to drive them to school, babe," I yawn, "And then go to work. I'll see you around two," I tell him.

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

I shrug, "Yeah. Sure," I roll on my back, sighing and sitting up, "But I gotta drive Halee to school."

Jace

I sit up and look back at her, "Two?"

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

I nod and yawn, rubbing my eyes, "You can stay home with me right? Otherwise there's really nothing here for me..."

Rayah

I nod, "Work ends at three thirty for me, but I'm coming back home around two for lunch. Which is when you have your break right? School gets out at 1:00 for them. Then they're staying in after care until my work is done."

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

I nod, standing, and flash a smile, "Yeah. Sure," I walk out and to Halee's room, scooping her up and bringing her downstairs.

Jace

I sigh and nod, "So you want to meet me back here for lunch or go out somewhere?"

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

I flash a smile and watch her leave before standing and changing.
