I was the first to wake up. Calypso was still in my arms, her head resting on my chest. And she had her arms around me. I smiled in spite of myself and realized how lucky we both were. I was lucky, because I had the most beautiful woman in the world and she was lucky because, well, I'll figure that out one day. She shifted in her sleep and started wriggling in my grip. "Hey, hey, hey," I whispered, gently tightening my grip around her. "It's ok. Calm down." She squirmed in my grip for a few more seconds and finally opened her eyes. She just laid there for a minute, before looking up at me.
She yawned and laid her head back down on my chest. "Are you ok?" I asked. "Uh-huh." I heard her mumble. "Just a bad dream." A bad dream? We're together now. My problems should be her problems and her problems should be my problems. "Tell me." I said. She shook her head, snuggling up against my chest. "It was just a dream, Leo," she said, crawling up closer to me. I welcomed her lips against mine and pulled her back into my grip. After kissing her for a few seconds, I pulled away from her and she laid her head down on my chest again. "Oh gods," I said. "I slept like a baby last night." She smiled. "I bet you did, with me in your arms!" I smiled. "I imagine that had something to do with it." I said. "What's next?" I asked, after a few seconds.
"What do you mean?" she asked. "Well," I said. "We slept together." She looked up at me. "Well," she said. "I imagine we will have to have sex sometime." She said this and sounded frusterated. I looked at her, speechless. I wasn't surprised, I just had nothing to say. "Leo," she said, looking into my eyes. "I love you." That snapped me out of it. "I love you too, Calypso." I said. "Listen to me Leo," she replied. "If you expect us to be together, we have to move onto the next level." I raised an eyebrow. "I thought we were already at the next level." I said. She laughed. She moved closer to me and started to whisper in my ear. I had no idea why she needed to whisper.
"We don't go to the next level," Calypso whispered. "Until we've done the deed." I stared at her. "Deeds?" I asked. "You are the one who attempted to take my clothes off yesterday." she said. I about to say something, but she beat me to it. She said. "Go take a shower Leo, you haven't had one in a few days." I reluctantly let go of her, and got out of her bed. Or was it our bed now? I had no idea. I walked into the bathroom and started the water. Once the water was warm enough, I took of my tunic and boxers, folded them and placed them on the sink. I stepped into the shower and allowed myself to be engulfed in hot water. I turned the water up as hot as I could stand it, as I liked the steam, that created the fog-like atmosphere. Does Calypso really love me? Is she just using me to feel loved? I frowned, as I thought and letting the water soak me. Of course she loves me! Why would she kiss me and ask me to sleep with her? And if she is thinking about having children with me, then why would she think about having children with me? Who would have children with someone they don't love?
Just then, out of my peripheral vision, I saw a shadowy figure outside the shower door. I looked closer and wiped the steam off the glass door. Calypso was standing there and this next part made me start to get hard. She was naked! I couldn't believe what I was seeing. She must of been up to something, because there was a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. I slowly opened the sliding door and our eyes met. "Um, yes?" I asked. A mischievous smile grew on her face. "Are you, as they say, ready?" she asked. I was astonished. Am I ready? Wait. She doesn't mean... "Um Calypso, you don't mean-" I spoke, but she interrupted me. "Leo, fuck me." she said, as she nodded. "Now." I itched my head and found myself looking at her breasts. My eyes widened, as my heart rate quickened as well. I started stuttering, trying to find words, but they didn't come.
She followed my eyes,and much to my disappointment, covered her breasts with her arm. I looked back up into her eyes. "Really?" I asked. She nodded again. "As you said yesterday, fuck me." she said. "Calypso, fucking and making love aren't the same thing, really." She tilted her head. "They aren't?" she asked. "Please do tell." I cleared my throat. "Well fucking is when you have sex with someone you don't really love," I said. My heart felt like it was beating a million miles per minute, due to the level of awkward in the air. "And making love, obviously, is when you have sex with someone you really do love." She sent me an intense gaze. "Leo, I love you." she said. "I love you, too." She stepped forward, and wrapped her arms around my neck. Our lips were about to meet, when she said, "Ah, ha, ha!" I was surprised, as she pulled away.
"What?" I asked. "What is it?" She stood there laughing, as she wrapped a towel around herself. "I can't believe you actually thought we were going to do it!" she exclaimed, laughing. "Wait," I said. "We weren't going to have sex?" She continued laughing. "Of course not!" she said. "It's too early! I was just testing you, to see how far I could get you go." I stepped forward, grabbing a towel. I wrapped the towel around myself as well and put my hand on her cheek. "That is it," I said. "You are afraid, aren't you?" She looked up at me, her eyes full of confusion. "Afraid of what exactly?" she asked. "Are you afraid that I'll leave you?" I asked. "Because if you are, you don't have to be afraid. I already told you that I won't leave you."
"It's not that, it's just-" she started to say something, but I interrupted her. "Calypso," I said, putting my hands on her bare shoulders. "I love you. And you can tell me anything." She stared into my eyes. "I love you too, Leo." she said. "But what if you do leave me?" I looked at her. "Hey," I said, gently stroking her hair. "We've been over this. I will never leave you." She started to cry. "Not like that Leo!" she screamed, causing me to jump back away from her in fear. "What if you die?!" I was surprised. I stepped close to her again and pulled her close to me, allowing her to use my chest to cry into. "But I can't die here," I said. "You said it yourself." I heard her muffled voice, but I couldn't make out what she was saying. "Say that again?" I asked. "What if you die unintentionally?" she asked. "And it might be possible to die here!" I was astonished. "What?" I asked. "But how?"
"When you first decided to stay here with me, I noticed a change in the the island," she said. "I didn't want to worry you." I shook my head. "So, what's the change?" She looked up at me. "On my island, you still age." she said. "But once you reach the age of eighteen, you look the same forever. Unless you leave the island, you look the same. You are eighteen, have been here for three years now, but you still grow! And I have realized that time on this island flows differently! That's how I know about the time change. I can actually keep track of time." I sighed. "Come here." I said, pulling her closer so I could hug her to my chest. "I promise that I will never die on you," I said. "Nor will I ever leave you."
"Now go get dressed in your room," I said. "I will join you shortly." She looked up at me. "Why?" she asked. "You look tired," I said. "You need a nap." She frowned. "I don't need a nap!" she said. "I just need to be loved!" I sighed again. "Fine," I said. "Then I'll take a nap with you." That seemed to calm her down, as her expression cooled. "Ok," she said, letting go of me. "I'll go get dressed. Join me as soon as possible." I nodded, but she didn't see it, as she was already walking out of the bathroom. I turned off the shower and started to dry off. I walked out of the bathroom, dressed in my fresh clothes from last night.
I walked into her room and found her already dressed. She had her back to me, and she was just standing there. I walked up to her, wrapped my arms around her waist and put both of my hands on her stomach. She jumped a little bit, but after realizing it was just me, placed her hands on top of mine. "I am so happy." she said. "Why are you so happy?" I asked, gently running my lips on her neck. She giggled from the feeling of my lips on her neck. "Because, I am so lucky to have you." she said. "You are the one man that actually cares about me. You are the one man that didn't leave for a better existence." I frowned. "I should have told you my feelings sooner." I decided. She shook her head. "No Leo," she said. "You shouldn't have. You made the wait worth while."
She tried to escape my grip and I let go of her. She got into her bed and I joined her. "Tomorrow or whenever you feel like it," Calypso said. "You can move your clothes and stuff in here." I was confused. "Why?" I asked. She moved closer to me and snuggled against me. "Because," she said. "This isn't just my bed anymore Leo. It's our bed now." I wrapped my arms around her and held her. I began stroking her hair and was just thinking. I looked at her and she was already asleep. I laid my head down on the pillow, fell asleep as well and let the dreams begin.
...
In my dream, I was much older and Calypso had lost her immortal glow. We were still on Ogygia, but we weren't alone anymore. In the dream, we were in the fields of the island, and I was with a boy, maybe four or five? What I was hearing was astonishing. "Do it again, daddy!" the boy said to my older self. I was laughing and saying, "Hold on, Lee! I'm only one person!" I threw a fisbee of some kind, and blasted it with a fireball I had created, which I had no idea how I did that. My fire ability doesn't allow me to go that far. "Yay!" the boy I had called "Lee" screamed. "He really likes it when you do that, doesn't he?" a voice said. The boy turned around, and said, "Uncle Percy!"
Lee ran to a much older Percy (whom I didn't know why he was here), jumped onto him and tackled him. "Hey!" Percy said. "Happy birthday, birthday boy!" Percy got up and Lee ran back up to me. "Daddy, when can I open my presents?" he asked, excitedly. "Calm down, Lee." I said. "You'll get your presents soon." Lee started bouncing around. "Yay!" he said. The dream sped up and eventually, I didn't understand it anymore.
...
I snapped out of my dream, waking up Calypso in the process. "What is it?" she asked, yawning. "Nothing," I said quickly. "Just a dream." She crawled up to me, so she was facing me. "Tell me." she said, mimicing me from earlier this morning. I frowned. "Nice try." I said, kissing her. As I kissed her, I placed my hand on her chest. She opened one of her eyes and I could feel her smile against my lips. She pulled away and looked at me. I realized I still had my hand on her chest. "Um," I said. "Sorry?" She smirked. "About what?" she asked. I was too surprised to answer as she kissed me. I wrapped my arms around her and started to take her tunic/dress thing off. I broke the kiss. "Aren't you going to stop me?" I asked. She stared at me. "Why should I?" she asked. "I want to do this!"
As I continued to try to take off her clothes, she worked on taking my tunic top off. I finally got the top of her tunic over her head. I reached for the lacy black bra she was wearing and I looked into her eyes, asking for permission to proceed. She nodded and I started struggled to undo her bra clasp, as she looked at me impatiently. "What?" I asked. "I've never taken a woman's bra off before!" She glared at me impatiently. "That's just a excuse!" she said. "No, it's really not!" I said. "I was nearly sixteen when I arrived! Did you really think I had lost my virginity yet?" She glared at me. "I didn't want to think about anything to do with you!" That hurt my feelings. "Just the way you are talking to me," I said. "Makes me feel like you've always hated me!" Her eyes widened, realizing her mistake.
"Leo," she said, resting her head on my chest. " I'm sorry! That doesn't have to mean anything anymore." I pushed her off of me. "Certainly means something to me." I said, getting out of her bed. "Leo, wait!" she called, and I stopped. "I need some time to be alone." I said, as I walked out of the bedroom. I walked out of the cave and found that the sun was setting over the ocean waves. I walked off into the fields above the cave. Eventually after five minutes of walking, I sat down in the grass and started crying. So, that's it, isn't it? She never loved me! I was right, she was using me to feel loved! I continued to sob, feeling completely alone. Are you sure? my father's voice boomed in my head. Maybe you are mistaken.
I got up and looked up into the sky. "No, I'm sure!" I yelled. "I heard the tone of voice she used! Made it sound like she absolutely hated me! There was no mistaking any of it!" You're wrong, my son. She deeply, truly loves you. I reached down and grabbed a rock. "Stay out of my life!" I screamed, throwing the rock. The rock didn't go up in the sky, where I had intended it to go. Instead, it arced and hit something to my side. I looked over and saw the rock had broken a boarded up entrance to a cave I had never seen. It occured to me, that I was in Calypso's "forbidden section" of her island, the one place I couldn't go into.
I shrugged to myself, and began tearing down the boards. I expected the cave to be dark, you know, because being boarded up for only the gods know how long, but I saw that there were lit torches inside. I kept tearing boards down, until all of the boards were gone. I expected to find a shelter, but what I did see surprised me. There were books, stacked up on each other and the last thing I saw in the cave, made me scared. It were hand drawn sketches of me! And there was a giant painting of me as well!
A/N: Why do you think this cave is here? Leo and Calypso came close to doing it, but they are in a tight, emotional spot at the moment. And if you thought that their little "shower scene" was weird, well, you haven't seen nothing yet! Trust me, the story will have much more suggestive content and will get much more violent. I mean, a character will die a gruesome death later on in the story. Is this character the Son of Poseidon? No. Is she the Daughter of Athena? No. Is he the Son of Hades? No. Well, at this point, the person who dies is a mystery. Even to me. Perhaps the decision won't be mine! As always, please favorite and follow the story, as it really helps me out. And please also leave a review if you want to give me your opinion. So, keep looking for updates, and thanks for reading!
In The Next Chapter of Ogygia Is My Home: Leo is shocked to discover a shrine with him as the targeting image. Calypso confronts Leo and the two have a conversation. Meanwhile in the morning, Calypso and Leo finally explore their feelings for each other.
