I hope everyone likes this. I will be doing multible chapters of their whole weekend at the beach together.
Chris walked up to Clarisse. After some debate he had built up the courage to ask her to go with him to visit his family. When he knocked on the cabin door he was greeted by her sibling. It was Sherman who spoke up first.
"What are you doing here, Rodriquez?" Chris explained that he was here to see Clarisse and Sherman said she was in the shower. They let him in the cabin to wait on her bed, whole the rest of the Ares cabin lest to spar.
Around 20 minutes later, Clarisse come out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her. It took her a second to realize he was there.
"Oh, hey punk. Turn around so I can get dressed. What do you want?"
"Well, actually, I have something I need to ask you."
"Okay, well I need to go train so hurry the fuck up."
"Um. Well. I was just wondering-just wondering if you wanted to come with me to the beach this weekend." Clarisse gave him a weird look.
"Chris, we can go to the beach right now if you really want. It's a 2 minute walk. I didn't know you wanted to go so badly."
"No. Um. What I meant-What I meant was, would you like to come to the beach with my family and I this weekend? They really want to meet you and I didn't know what to tell them. And we can get a separate room and everything. Plus, it's only for two days."
"Chris, I-"
"You know what, this was stupid of me to ask, I'll just tell them no."
"Rodriguez! Listen to me. I'll go with you. We've been dating for a year now, right? I should meet your family. And we've slept ing the same bed before, no need for seperate rooms."
She ended with a smile, mostly because Chris looked really happy. She had been trying her very best to keep her anger in check, and Chris had helped her get better at it. Clarisse's thoughts were interrupted when Chris pulled her in by the waist and gave her a nice long kiss. She let out a sigh and could tell he was smirking into the kiss. After he pulled away he grabbed his monster proof phone out of his pocket.
"Okay, we have to leave tonight. I just texted you a packing list. It's the one I used so you might have to make some changes, but it might help. Thank you so much. And Drew said to tell you that if you said yes, they have a gift for you or something. They just said to go to the cabin."
Chris smiled and gave her one last peck on the forehead before running out of the cabin. Clarisse glanced at the list beafore heading out her door and to the Aphrodite cabin.
As soon as they opened the door, she regretted it. Drew dregged her inside and sat her down on the bed. This place was too fucking girly looking for her taste. Drew looked her up and down and showed her a malicious smile.
"Okay, here's the deal. Our mom has a plan for you this weekend. We don't know what it is and neither do you. We were just told to fit you into a new bathing suit. Not the little kid one piece you have now. We need to find you sonething Chris will actually like."
"I don't see the problem with my current bathing suit." I was now feeling a little butthurt. I thought Chris liked my bathing suit. He had at least complemented me in it before. I thought I looked good in it.
"Oh deary, your current bathing suit is so...unattractive. The only reason Chris compliments you in it is so that you feel better. Plus, if you actually want to hook up with him this weekend, you'll need to look good."
"Um...Drew, I don't think Chris and I are ready for that just yet. I mean, we've never said anything about it. Maybe I should just go."
"Don't be silly. The only thing a man really wants is to see you naked. You've already been dating for a full year anyways."
"Drew, I appreciate your Aphrodite outlook on things, but Chris and I are perfectly fine, but I guess a new bathing suit wouldn't hurt."
Drew dragged me to the walk in closet of their cabin and pulled out a few options. She held a few to my chest.
"What's your cup size?"
"C" Drew clicked her tongue and walked back over to the rack of bikinis and grabbed some other options.
"Okay, go into the bathroom and try on the ones you like. Come out and show me when you try one on."
I went into the bathroom and grabbed one that was a bunch of strings and stuff from the pile she gave me. It took a while to get on. When she was done, she looked in the mirror and decided she didn't like it that much, but she went out anyways.
First, I poked my head out. I saw Katie standing next Drew. I walked out, covering most of my chest with my arms. Katie smiled but Drew frowned.
"Try another. You don't like that one. Oh, and Katie is here because she and Travis are going to the beach with you."
I went back into the room and tried on another one. It was yellow with white flowers. I really liked that one. I went to leave the room, but then I saw Chris at the door. He saw me and I slammed the door shut. I could hear his footsteps coming closer to the door.
"Hey. Reese, are you good in their?"
"Um. Yeah, I'm fine. Could you just, um, please go away?"
"Ok, well, I'll see you later."
After I heard the door close, I stepped out. Drew shook her head.
"Well, that's the one, but if your gonna have sex with him, you have to be naked, so maybe you should let him see you in a bikini. Okay, your free to go. And take the bathing suit with you."
I packed up my stuff as quickly as possible and went to his cabin. Chris came out and shut the door behind him.
"Travis doesn't want Connor to come with us, but if he knows his Mom is there, he'll come. We're trying to not let him know we're going. Let's go get in the car."
We sat in the backseat of the car. Chris leaned over me, watching my face to make sure I was okay with it. We atrted to make out. Nice, long, frenzied kisses. After a while we just sat with my head on his chest, laying down on the seats. Later on, Katie knocked on the window. We all got out and rearranged bags. Then we left.
When we arrived at the beach, it was late at night. Everyone was tired from the long car ride so we just went inside and into the hotel room. The girls went upstairs first, but Travis and I went to go get food for the girls. We sat at a table while we waited for the take out. Travis's phone rang and he picked it up.
"Hello. Connor-. I'm sorry. Don't do that. They'll shoot you. No-. Next time-. What about this fall? Fine. Connor-. I said I'm sorry. No. Whatever-. Go to sleep. Lights out at 10. Whatever. Just make sure you get some sleep. Okay. Goodbye."
About 30 seconds later, my phone rang.
Me: What, took you a while to find my phone number?
Connor: I want to see my mom.
Me: You'll see her at the end of the summer.
Connor: No, I won't I'm about to leave for a 3 year international learning trip in london. Don't tell Travis that.
Me: I am sitting right next to him.
Connor: Shit. Okay, but why couldn't I come?
Me: This is a trip, with our girlfriends.
Connor: So what? Your at a beach. I could have come.
Me: I'm sorry. Goodnight Connor.
Connor: Goodnight
We got the takeout and went back to the hotel. I went to the 19th floor, which is where Clarisse and I were staying. I opened the door and heard the shower running. I put the food on the table and changed out of my clothes, putting on a pait of sweatpants. Clarisse came and a blush crept up her neck. I think I'm the only one who can make that happen. She grabbed the food and crawled into bed next to me. I wrapped my arm around her.
"If you ever, and I mean ever, tell anyone how I act around you in private, I'll murder you."
"I don't doubt it, Resse."
Clarisse turned over and traced her finger down my chest and stomach, stopping at my pants and blushing. She turned over and I played with her hair. Clarisse kept flip flopping back and forth between looking at me and looking away. Finally, she sat up and swung one of her legs over my waist so she was straddling my. I could feel my eyes widen in suprise.
"Clarisse? Whatcha doing?" She looked unsure of herself, for the first time ever, and she leaned down to kiss me. We never went beyond kissing and snuggling. She sat up again.
"Are you okay if I do something?" She gave a catious nod. I grabbed her legs and flipped us over, so I was on top of her. I heard a little giggle escaoe my lips.
"Oh my gods, I have sofened you. The great Clarisse just giggled." She tried her best to scowl but could only smile. Then, we were both laughing. I rolled off of her and laid right next her. Somebody knocked at the door and I went to answer it while Clarisse stayed in the bed. I opened the door and saw Katie.
"You can go talk to Travis, I need to talk to Clarisse." She handed me a key card and I walked to their room.
I looked at Katie with a soft smile still on my lips. She sat on the bed next to me.
"Soooo, Piper and Drew made me promise to give this to you. I don't actually know what it is, but I thought since it's an Aphrodite gift, Chris should probably leave."
I cautiously took the gift. Katie and I had been friends for a long time, so I trusted her. I opened the box and took put the stuff, laying out on the bed.
"Your kidding me." I said. Layed out on the bed was a black set of extremely lacy lingerie. All I could do was repeat my earlier statement. Katie looked up at me.
"Do you at least want to try it on? You could see how you look in it. I don't mean to push you or anything."
"I guess. It's not like anyone else will ever see me in it. Did Drew try and convince you that you were going to have sex with Travis while we are here?"
"Yeah, she did.But I think Travis might also believe that's going to happen," Katie sighed, then put on a malicious smile, "so, let's get that outfit on you."
I walked into the bathroom and immediately had trouble putting on the outfit. I would never usually being doing this, but I guess that's what I get for Katie being my best friend. Finally, I gave up and called Katie into the bathroom. We decided to leave the cramped room and went by the bed to put it on. Suddenly, the door started to open. I ran over and slammed it shut.
"Um...Reese, I just need something out of my bag, can I come in?" I gave Katie a panicked look. I was standing here with black lingerie that was only half on.
"No! Chris, you cannot come in!"
"Reese? Are you okay in there? I just need my dagger. I promise you can continue your conversation afterwards." I was actually about to cry. I never cried. Never.
"Don't you have your sword? What do you..what do you need your dagger for?" I didn't want him to worry, but my voice cracked and I knew he knew I was crying.
"Clarisse, I'm coming in." Without a missing a beat, Katie pushed me into the bathroom and stood un front of the door. I could hear Chris come into the room.
"Hey, Katie, can you please leave. I want to talk to Clarisse."
"No, Chris, you can grab your stuff and go sit back with Travis." I could tell he was getting annoyed. I was near totally breaking down and having a meltdown behind the door. Finally, I just decided to give up all my dignity.
"Um, Chris, I'm completly naked, like no clothes at all. So if you could just get your dagger and leave, please?" I could hear him stepping across the room and rummaging through our bag. Then he walked back and out the door. I came out of the bathroom after ficing the lace. Katie smiled at me.
"If it helps anything, you look beautiful. But, let's get you in some pajamas." I changed, we talked for a while, then Chris came back, entering mych slower this time. I smiled at him. Katie left and Chris sat in bed with me. We just sat in awkward silence for a while. Then he looked at me.
"I have a gift for you. For your birthday. I put it in your bag thinking you would find it, but I guess I'll just give it to you." He went overto my bag and dug around, then he pulled something out. The fucking lingerie. He gave a smirk. She hated that smirk. It was the smirk that said I know I'm going to get in trouble for this but I'm going to do it anyways.
"I didn't know you owned stuff like this." He seemed like he was genuinely suprised. I put my head in my hands.
"I don't. It's a gift from Drew. She thinks I'm going to use it on our trip." I snatched it out of his hand and went to put it back in my bag. Half a second later, he had his hands on my hips, and I could hear his breath in my ear.
"So are you gonna use it?" Chris whispered right into my ear. It made me shiver, but left a good feeling at the bottom of my stomach. I wanted more of that feeling.
"How about, you give me my gift tomorrow, and I'll give you a gift tomorrow." He nodded and pushed me back onto the bed.
"Gods I love you, Reese." I sighed contently as Chris kissed down my neck. Soon enough we were just giggling next to each other. I hated that he could do this to me. I didn't even fell like Clariss, and I kind of loved it.
