Chapter 5
One Month Later
Sam was sitting on the beach, thinking of a month ago, where he first heard about his mother's death. Then he looked back at the years she had given him. Though it was a hollow, and rather horrible joke, Sam wished his father was Kronos; so he could go back in time to the way things were.
Oh well Sam... that's the past. Let's look to the future, he thought as he watched Calypso tend to her garden.
Over the last month, he had been under Calypso's care. They have grown close, but Sam was ready to take it to the next level. He couldn't deny it any longer: he was in love with Calypso. He remembered her story, how she was imprisoned here because of the support she gave to her father, the titan Atlas. He thought it unfair that she is punished for her love of her father. As the days passed by, Sam's trust in letting the Gods make the decisions of other people's lives began to crack. So what Calypso supported her father? They are family...it shouldn't matter.
One day, Sam and Calypso were walking on the beach. Calypso was wearing a beautiful green sundress and a headband. Sam was still thinking about Calypso's punishment when Calypso asked a question.
"Sam...do you like it here?" She asked out of the blue.
Sam shook his head and focused on the question.
"Yeah...it's much better than the city," Sam joked.
"Sam...would you like to stay with me?" Calypso asked.
"Yes..." Sam said without any hesitation.
Calypso's POV
Calypso's heart swelled with joy. She was not expecting him to say "yes" so quickly, but she didn't complain.
Maybe the Gods have finally decided to undo my curse, she thought hopefully.
Sam took her hands and looked deep into her eyes.
"Calypso...not even the Gods can separate you and I for long," Sam said boldly.
Calypso was surprised and scared at the same time. She hoped the Gods weren't really listening.
Sam's POV
That's right Zeus, I'd like to see you try and keep me away from Calypso, Sam thought.
Little did the couple know, the Gods hear everything.
