Chapter 4: Leo
I felt so much love for the special daughter of Poseidon and seeing Percy and Annabeth engaged it made me wanna get married, too. I looked at Amber. She had such a beautiful voice that, for a second, I thought she as a daugher of Apollo. The light from the fire made her skin glow an amazing color which, is now my favorite color.
"Amber?" I asked. She stopped singing and looked and me. "Do you wanna go swimming with me tomorrow at the lake and also have a picnic for lunch or something?"
"Oh, Leo, I would love to but, it's the middle of December. Isn't it cold?" She asked.
"The camp borders don't allow cold air to come in." I explained. I loved being the smart one for once. It's a not very often felling but, I like it.
"Oh! Then okay! I'd love to go on a date with you. I'll stop to get a bathing suit and some clothes from the Aphridite cabin first thing in the morning after breakfast."
"Make sure you get a bikini so I can see your sexy body again." I said. Then, I blushed. "Not that I really did. Only a glimpse and not even a good one. Sorry about barging in on you."
"Maybe..." She winked and went back to singing 'Ghost Town'. Later I brought Amber to get her new weapons from Mark. She tried them out and they worked perfectly. She sat down and I kissed her and walked over to my work bench to get something.
"Oooooooohhhhh." the cabin chorused.
"Like you've never seen a couple kiss." I said, rolling my eyes.
"Shit, I was gonna ask her out." I heard from the crowded cabin. I grabbed Amber and held her tight. She obviousley heard it, too because she seemed scared and held me tight aswell. I kissed her and whispered in her ear.
"I'll walk you to your cabin."
"I am a human and I have both legs, you know." She said, sarcasticaly. She is a very sarcastic person. I like sarcasticness.
"I don't trust my siblings."
"Fair enough. Let's go." We walked to the Poseidon cabin and we stopped at the door. We turned to each other and I held Amber's hands in mine.
"Meet me a the lake when Percy falls asleep. Turn invisible. My watch will turn me invisible, but we can still see each other. I have something fo you." I whispered she nodded. I kissed her forhead and the cabin door flew open.
"Break it up, Wet Fire!" Percy yelled at us. Amber lightly kissed my lips and ran inside. I went back to my cabin and collapsed on my bed. I heard footsteps but I didn't bother looking.
"So, Amber, huh?" It was Mark
"Yeah, she kissed me at the lake and I really like her and for her to kiss me, well, why else would she?"
"You guys are perfect. Gods, I sound like Aphrodite." I looked at him
"Did you want to ask her out or was that someone else?" I asked
"Yeah, that was me." Mark said sheepishly. "Sorry, I didn't know you were dating. She's hot like your hands. You're really lucky, man."
"It's okay, bro." I settled back down. "Just don't take her away from me or I kill you." I lit my hands.
"K, man. " He held his hands up in surrender and went to his bed to sleep.
After a few minutes I checked to see if anyone was awake. No one was. I tapped my watch and turned invisible. I walked to the lake with the box for Amber. I sat down on a log and waited for her. It felt like half an hour before I saw Amber's perfect figure jogging towards me. She sat down next to me on the log and kissed my cheek. I kissed her forhead.
"Sorry I'm late." She said "Let's just say that Percy is a really overprotective older half-brother." She smiled and giggled when she noticed my pajamas. "Wow, you found flame pajamas at K-mart?"
"No, Piper made them for me for my birthday." I said sheepishly. She laughed.
"So, why did we need to meet here?" She asked
"So I can give you this." I pulled out the box. and handed it to her. "It's a promise ring as long as you wear it, you are mine. Oh, and you can't be hurt by fire or explosions."
"Wow. That's awesome. Your invention?" I nodded "Even better."
"It's a blue saphire stone surrounded by little red rubies." I smiled
"No, duh." She smiled and put it on. "Beautiful" she whispered
"Don't worry, Percy voluntered to test it and it works on Poseidon children."
"Thank you Leo!" She threw her arms around my neck to hug me. "Test it?" I threw my hands a-flame and touched her she shivered and that was it. No scream. No burn. No collapsing. My invention works!
"Now you'll never gt hurt by me again." She threw me onto the sand and kissed me. I touched my lips and we layed there, staring at the stars and constellations. I pointed to a cluster of stars.
"Orion." I stated
"My birth constellation. I'm a Capricorn, January 13th. Percy is a Leo. What about you?" She whispered and looked at me as we lay in the sand.
"I'm a Leo, Percy is a Percy. May 20th and I don't really know."
"We will have to look that up." She smiled and I looked at my watch.
"Midnight. Make a wish and then we should go back to our cabins." She squeezed her eyes shut and said something under her breath. I did the same. I wished for a long relationship with Amber and maybe a marriage if all goes well betwen us. We got up and went to our cabins.
