Chapter - IV
Leo had just gotten up from his rather painful "landing" before he got knocked down again. This time the difference was that someone was hitting him repeatedly. He knew exactly who this was. But nonetheless he didn't do or say anything and just shielded his face with his arms. Every blow he got he felt that he deserved it.
After about three minutes the hitting stopped and Leo felt her slump against his body which was already sprawled on the beach.
"Hey Sunshine !" Leo said.
Calypso slowly lifted her face and looked up at him. Her face was a mixture of emotions. Longing, anger and a mix of victory or retribution. Leo wasn't sure. But that too for not too long a time.
Calypso broke down in tears and buried her face in his Leo's chest. He was definitely sure about her emotions now.
"It was so so long," she sobbed, "It felt like forever."
Leo slowly sat up on the sand making her do the same too. He then stared into her almond colored eyes while simultaneously she too stared back at his.
Calypso leaned forward. So did Leo.
Gaea could have re-awakened, the titans could have launched an assault the gods could have blown Ogygia to bits (thankfully they didn't) but Leo and Calypso just didn't care. They kept on kissing each other for like three minutes before they broke off.
Now Calypso's face showed an expression of love and triumph. Leo was just being the regular ADHD, annoying and always-smiling Leo that he was.
" I missed you too Sunshine," Leo said.
"And I still hate you Leo Valdez," Calypso said while giving him a playful smile.
