Mount Olympus [8]

Jackie

I frown, "Aw."

,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

I open my eyes and look out the window, "Then we're ready."

Nic

I lose my smile as well, a hand on the side of her face, "I'll be back as soon as I'm done with my exams, promise."

```
Jace

I study before looking back out the window, nodding.

Jackie

I look down, nodding.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

I nod back and nuzzle my face with his.

Nic

I kiss her forehead, "Then I'm all yours."

``
Jace

I smile and nuzzle my face against hers back.

Jackie

I sigh and look at him, "Okay."
,,,,,,,,,,,,.
Rayah

I wrap an arm around my stomach, sighing.

Nic

I study her, "I'm depressed now."

```
Jace

I keep an arm around hers and kiss her jaw, "So..."

Jackie

I smile, "Then don't go."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

I glance at him, "So?"

Nic

I smile and sigh, "I have to. You know that."

``
Jace

I study her, "So... is that what you want?"

Jackie

I nod, "But I don't want you to."

,,,,,,,,,,,,..
Rayah

I nod, "Yeah."

Nic

I sigh and nod, "I know. I'll be back as soon as possible though. I'll make it up to you in whatever way you want."

```
Jace

"Like... now?" I ask, still studying her.

Jackie

I look at the ceiling, "But I don't want anything."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

I think and shrug, "Sure."

Nic

I study her, "Anything?"

```
Jace

I study her again before looking at the other room, "We'd... uh, need to get rid of them then."

Jackie

I nod and look at him, "I have all that I need."

,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

I hesitate, standing and leading him into the room but letting him talk.

Nic

I study her, "There isn't any way I can make it up to you?"

```
Jace

I follow her and clear my throat, "We, uh, need time alone for a while. So, could you kindly exit the room?"

Jackie

I'm just about to answer when Jace comes in. I wink at Rayah before standing, leading Nic out.

,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

I smile, watching them go.
