Calypso hugged Leo's waist as they closed the distance between them and Camp Half-blood. A wave of anxiety and what ifs washed over her as camp was in view. What if they don't like her? What if they try to separate her from the Leo? What if this was just a dream? A reality too good that she doesn't deserves it?
Her grip around Leo tightened as she finds assurance that he's there. He whipped his head back in surprise as he studied her face.
"What's wrong?" Not trying to hide the concern in his voice.
"Leo?" She croaked
"Yes?" His voice turning into a shade of gentleness
"What if they don't like me?"
"If they don't like you, I'll burn them down with my fireballs of awesomeness. Plus, I, Leo McShizzle Bad Boy Supreme, promise to never let anyone hurt you." She saw the brightest of smiles on his face and that was enough to shield her from the fear that was enveloping her.
They circled camp; attracting a number of demigods. Their gaze showed a bundle of emotions; wonder, astonishment, etc. They pointed at them and from the moving of their lips she could make out the name Leo.
Finally, they landed. Leo got down first and helped her too; a thud was heard as her feet met ground. A few minutes of awkward passed between them and the campers when a girl with brown hair ran to Leo and pulled him into a tight hug.
Cali took note of the girl's beauty; an extreme case really. With eye colors that shift at every angle it was obvious who was her godly parent. And that made Cali doubt herself is she even deserved Leo.
After they broke the hug, a girl with brown wavy hair emerged from the crowd and jogged towards him. He was opening his arms for a hug when the girl suddenly slapped him; a gasp escaped from Calypso's mouth. She cried and laugh at the same time, a paradox Cali doesn't understand, before she hugged him.
"I thought you were dead!" She said under her muffled cries.
"Leo and dead doesn't go well together you know." He chuckled.
A group of four emerged from the crowd and greeted Leo; comprised of two blondes, one Asian, and a face to handsome to forget.
He greeted Leo in a bro kind of way and after that his sea-green eyes met her. She took in the sight of his dark hair and angelic face. At that moment she remembered that before Leo, she loved someone else. And the boy's name is Percy.
She exchanged glances before she finally decided to pry her eyes away from him; an act she found hard to do. He snapped back into reality and joined in the groups conversation.
A party was thrown that night and Calypso found herself drinking champagne by herself; a drink a child of Dionysus gave to her. She watched them at the distance as she felt a pang of loneliness.
Her negative thoughts were making it's way up to her mind when she felt a tap on her shoulder and she saw Percy smiling at her. The smiled caused the chrysalises on her stomach to burst; revealing a bountiful of butterflies.
"Decided to bail out did you?" He said
"Yeah, I felt left out there."
"Can we talk?" His said his intention straight-forward
"Ummm, sure."
"Follow me." He said. She obeyed and followed him. They entered a cabin that looked like it was meant for Poseidon.
He closed the door and took Calypso's hand; an action that sent her hormones flying like crazy, but it was mostly centered on her hands.
"Do you still love me?" Again. Another straight-forward question. She loved him, but he still loved Leo. She couldn't decide whose name weighed in her heart.
Percy looked at her eyes and started drawing his lips nearer to hers; his eyes drooping at every second. When she decided who she loved more, she closed her eyes; her lips getting ready for the kiss.
