A/N: Nothing belongs to me. Uncle Ricky owns everything but OC. OC belongs to Cheyenne. Happy reading. Leo/OC. Not much fluff. K+ Elena's half Scandinavian, by the way.
"Elena, if you want to help me fix this bird bath for the Demeter cabin, actually help me and stop sketching!" Leo yells, frustrated. I roll my eyes, drop my sketchpad and pencil and walk over to him.
"What d'ya need?" I ask, grinning. Leo rolls his eyes.
"Just hold the base of the bird bath while I create the base for the top." he says I do what he says and feel a tingle up my arm when his hands brush against my arm. I look at Leo and blush. I chide myself. I should be focusing on holding this base, not on him.
"Didn't you already make a bird bath for the Demeter cabin?" I ask, trying to make conversation.
"Yeah, but it broke and I recall it was a daughter of Hecate who broke it in the first place." He says grinning, working on the bowl part.
"It wasn't just me. The Stolls helped!" I exclaim. He nudges me on the arm with his elbow. Electricity courses through me.
"It was your idea." he says, an accusing tone in his voice. I pull my tongue out at him in a childish manner then proceed to act grumpy. I stare at him from the corer of my eye. I blow a stray strand of my pale blonde hair out of my face. Leo seems to tense and the tension between us strengthens. As I keep staring at Leo, the more I believe myself to be delusional.
I mean, come on. Leo is hands down the cutest guy at camp and I was just a girl with a lot of mis-matched features. For one, my violet eyes stood out the most and didn't go with my pale face or my blonde hair which also happened to be pale. I did not have a curvy figure nor do I look stunning like any of the Aphrodite girls. I sigh, Leo gives me a confused look.
"You can stop holding the base, if you're tired of holding it." he says, which makes me slide my hands down the Corinthian styled base.
"Need any help?" I ask. He shakes his head while hammering the bowl. I sigh and get up. Leo stops men by grabbing my wrist. I raise an eyebrow.
"I didn't say you could leave, Smith." he remarks. I grin.
"Was hoping for that, Valdez." I say before making a move I wouldn't usually do by kissing him on the cheek. Leo looks dumbfounded for a moment.
"Er- you, um, just stay there, while I- er- work on the- the- thing..." he stutters. I smirk, sitting contended, watching the heat rise in his cheeks. He keeps working on the bird bath, glancing at me every few seconds. Maybe, he does like me but won't admit it. Oh, well. It's progress.x
