Guys I am SOOO sorry about my lack of updates. I have been so stressed and busy lately. My life is upside down at the moment. I promise to update the last chapter within the next few weeks.

Thank you for everyone who still reads this even after I take months off writing at a time. I hope this will be worth the wait.

Also, I decided to go with the spelling Selena. I'm fed up of getting reviews with it's SELINA not SILENA. Or its SILENA not SELINA. Also, I'm not 100% sure what her hair colour is, and due to everyone going crazy if you get it wrong, and the fact that no one can seem to agree on if it's black, blonde or brown. I decided to just not mention the colour.

Anyway happy reading! And remember, it's not a fanfiction unless their 'tongues battle for dominance'!

3RD PERSON POV:

Charlie and Selena:

Beckendorf arrived at the dining pavilion at half past six. He was already wearing a grey suit trousers picked out for him by Selena, who had decided that a waistcoat was, as she put it 'the way to go'. He felt uncomfortable. Selena was one of the most popular girls in the camp, and in a lot of people's opinion she was the most beautiful.

Charlie had a lot of insecurities. He thought of himself as a muscly and ugly boy who should be confined to the forges, out of sight. He assumed Selena was ashamed to be seen with him, and wasn't ready to be centre of attention at the dance.

Sure, he was so proud of his girlfriend. She was so much more than her looks, and he loved her for her personality and not her looks. But, he knew other people judged them when he saw them together.

He tried to push those feelings to the back of his mind as he entered the room. Selena and the rest of the Aphrodite cabin were there early, dealing with the last minute details before the dance started.

The room had undergone a huge transformation, thanks to the hard work of Selena and her siblings.

There were beautiful decorations everywhere, like crystal chandeliers, twinkling fairy lights, long ribbons and sashes draped around the room, twisted around pillars.

Beautiful white tables had been carried in, covered in shimmering table clothes. Tables were set up for couples, as well as groups. An extremely long table stretched along the length of one wall, adorned with punch bowls, assorted drinks, cups and ice. Huge plates of food, and a huge supply of deserts.

Slow, romantic music was being played from hidden speakers around the room, and petals and sparkly sequins and glitter was gently falling from the ceiling, where a glittering disco ball was slowly rotating and throwing pretty silver specks onto the walls all around the room.

The lights had been dimmed, giving the room an even more romantic feel.

Charles knew how much work it had taken Selena and her sisters, and a lot of the work was aided by him and his cabin to carry some of the decorations and to set up the various stereos, speakers, disco balls, lights and what not. He was very proud of what she had achieved.

Selena had been in charge of organising the actual dance, but had left some of her other sisters in charge of setting up the compatibility test and in deciding the paired couples. Selena had really regretted her decision, as the couples had been disasters.

Everybody knew that Annabeth and Percy were meant to be together, heck they would be together forever! Yet, somehow Percy got paired with Rachel and Annabeth with Will. Talk about ridiculous.

Then the rest of the couples had been disasters too, it didn't seem like anyone was paired up correctly. Except maybe Travis and Katie. Everyone knew those two were head over heels for each other, but Selena has a feeling they were only paired up because every one of the Aphrodite girls refused to be paired with the 'immature, lying douchebag that is Travis Stoll'. So, they agreed to at least pair him with the right girl.

Selena wasn't sure whether the girls had genuinely thought the couples would work, or if they were hoping that it would have a reverse effect and everyone would actually end up with the right people by the end of the night.

Selena had wanted to redo the pairings herself. She had tried to reorganise the test, so the results would be correct. She even contemplated calling off the dance knowing how many arguments and how much friction would be caused. But Charles convinced her that everything would work itself out, and that her mother would ensure everyone would end up with the right people. So, she relaxed a little, and instead focused on decorating the pavilion, organising the food, the music and everything else.

Charles and Selena had barely seen each other for nearly two weeks, as both had been busy sorting things for the dance. Selena had been planning and prepping from the moment she woke up until the moment she went to sleep, only stopping for food. Beckendorf had been rewiring lights, repairing speakers and helping out, taking orders from every child of Aphrodite possible.

They were looking forward to seeing each other at last, on the night of the dance, and would be able to enjoy the night knowing how much work went into it.

Charles could see Selena was just talking to her brother who was the DJ for the evening, probably worrying about song choices or something similar.

Charles walked over to her and cleared his throat behind her. She turned around obviously surprised, but her expression softened when she saw her boyfriend behind her. She smiled lovingly at him. He reached for her hand, and gently guided her over to the middle of the dance floor away from her siblings so they could have a little bit of privacy.

'You look beautiful'. Charlie breathed, as he finally look a proper look at Selena. 'Really beautiful.'

She blushed lightly, and a smile stretched across her face.

'So do you.' She replied. 'I told you a waistcoat was the way to go.'

Charlie felt his face heating up. Selena often referred to him as beautiful. He had never thought boys were called something like beautiful before he met Selena, especially not boys like him. But Selena reminded him constantly that boys could be beautiful too, and he was so beautiful, inside and out.

She loved how he looked, the light grey colour really looked good against his dark skin and the waistcoat showed the muscles in his strong arms.

Selena was wearing a floor length dark pink dress. It was quite figure hugging and looked great on her slender frame. Her long hair was pulled into an elegant braid and it suited her perfectly. Her makeup was natural yet glamorous, and drew attention to her bright eyes.

'You did such a good job organising this.' He smiled.

Selena's brow was furrowed as she began to reply. 'But…'

'Stop worrying.' Beckendorf cut her off. 'The couples will work themselves out, I promise.'

Selena breathed a sigh. 'I hope so.'

'I know so.' Beckendorf grinned. 'Now stop panicking. You look amazing and a worried expression ruins it.'

She smiled and chuckled lightly. 'I guess I should stop worrying. Let's enjoy tonight, we deserve it. We worked hard, and sacrificed a lot of time together.'

'Too much time.' Beckendorf replied. 'So, yeah. Let's make the most of tonight.'

'May I have this dance?' He asked Selena.

'Of course.' She beamed, as she moved her arms around his shoulders, and his moved to rest on her waist.

'I finally get the chance to show off my beautiful boyfriend in front of the whole camp. She proudly said. 'I love you, Charlie' she whispered, leaning in close and kissing him softly.

'I love you too.' He whispered as they broke apart, his face burning, and a smile spread wide across his face.
