Jasper carefully guided her throught the trees, beyond the creek and pass Zeus' Fist, and finally approached his favorite cave. "So, er, this is it." he squeezed her hand gently and let go. Standing before them was a cave, quite hidden between several rocks, making it blend in with the others. It was a little upper hill, so a portion of the camp could be seen. This place, was where monsters take their shelter during dusk and where birds and small rodents would occasionally pass by. It was, for now, quite peaceful.

He led her inside, and the cave itself was somewhat, nice, or even pretty. Several flowers, glowed in the lack of light and glow worms could be faintly seen from deep within. "Nice huh?" he asked, leaning down and plucking a flower, which glowed like gems. "These were found by a friend of mine. She seemed happy to see them. But don't worry, she never knew I got it from here." he winked at her.

I studied the cave skeptically. It was pretty nice, better than what I've seen so far. Normally you'd expect caves to be dark and creepy inside, but this one was the complete opposite. The flowers were absolutely beautiful, and with my luck, the cave didn't have an akward smell.

"Yeah, it's pretty nice," I replied, watching Jasper as he plucked a flower of the ground. "Oh, really? Who is that?" I asked. I almost fainted when he winked at me. I've had tons of boyfriends before, mainly because I usually hung out with them when I was attending school, but Jasper was slightly more cuter than the boys I've gone out with. His english accent was nice to listen to also.

"Oh just another Demeter kid." he shrugged. "The one named Candice." he said. The cave was atleast special to him. In fact, he has been here for 2 years now. So the added furniture was only a pillow or two, hidden in the dark. "So, now you know my all not-so-famous secret. Does that make me entitled to one of yours?"

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Fri Feb 18, 2011 8:18 pm

I thought about the question for a moment. He did show me a secret of his, so I guess he deserved to know one of mine. "Well, I would tell you one, but I honestly don't have a secret," I replied simply. My life has always been an open book. Being around guys the entire time did come with risks. The immature ones would always go ahead and snitch about everything single thing you tell them. So far, I trusted Jasper, but I honestly had nothing to tell him.

"Hmm." he said and sat down. Leaning on the wall, he had a faint smile on his face. So far, she had been pretty nice with him. Not screaming something at his face. "Let's start. How about your family?@ he asked. He closed his eyes and concentrated on the sounds. Their breathing, the birds chirpping and her voice.

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Fri Feb 18, 2011 8:32 pm

"My family?" I asked. What about my family? It wasn't like I didn't care about them or anything, but I haven't talked to them in a while. It's been years since I've last contacted them. Heck, the last time I contacted them might have been when I left for Camp Half-Blood. They've probably been looking for me ever since. "I haven't really talked to them in a while," I said. "I mean, the last time I did was five years ago when I came to camp. They dropped me off at school one day, but when my friend Melina and I were attacked my fur- er, kindly ones, I didn't have the chance to say anything to them. That morning was the last time I saw them."

I felt tears filling up my eyes as I spoke. I still cared about my family, I honestly did, and I was happy to have even the smallest portion of half-siblings at camp, but I still missed the ones back at home.

Jasper opened his eyes as her voice drifted off. When he did, he found her in tears. 'What to do?' he panicked a little. He wanted to hug her, comfort her, but then what? He hated all those awkward moments. But then, instinct kicked in. He stood up, reluctantly opened his arms for her. "You don't need to talk all about them if you want." he said. He was waiting for her to move into his arms and not moving oppositly. As he said, he hated all these awkward moments.

It was never like me to cry in public, or alone for that matter. I always held my feelings in so I didn't look weak and pathetic, but that always led to a huge lump in my throat, making it harder to hold the tears in. "I'm sorry," I sighed. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable or anything."

As his arms opened up, I almost melted. This never happend to me before. Feeling a little uneasy at the moment, I moved into his chest shakily. To my suprise, it felt comforting. Almost like when your mom would help you through all of your Pre-K drama moments when you're in a fight with a friend. It was nice to know that a boy really did care abotu you, because the school that I went to, well, it was like its own petting zoo.

"Come one. It's okay." he whispered soothingly. He noticed that it was getting hot and he felt a smile on his lips. Feeling a blush creeping in, he hid his face in her hair. 'She even smells good.' he thought. Then almost laughed out hysterically. She was too perfect and way put of his leauge. "Sh.. I'm right here." he whispered, her hair muffling his voice a bit.

I looked up at Jasper, my expression slightly downtrodden. As he spoke, a smile formed on my face. At least he's not insane . . . I thought. "Thanks," I replied. I tightened my grip around his neck, and studied his bright, silver eyes.

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:09 pm

He chuckled. "That's the smile I'm willing to do everything for." he said. Biting his inner cheek, he wished she couldn't see the blush on his face. "Come and sit with me okay?" he asked. He was willing to never let her go, but their closeness is making the butterflies in his stomach flutter more.

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:18 pm

My face lit up bright red as he complimented my smile. I didn't want to let go, but I could tell that it was making him quite nervous. "Okay," I said, and I sat next to him like he told me. "Alright, so what do you want to talk about now?"

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:22 pm

"Whatever you want to share." he shrugged. Leaning back to his previous position but never closing his eyes. 'Atleast she's beside you.' he chided in his mind. "And if you don't want to talk, it's also fine." he said.

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:32 pm

I thought for a moment, unsure of what to say. "I'm not really sure," I replied. Just sitting next to him made me feel uncomfortable, but yet, comfortable. Normally I would have been completly uneasy, come up with some lame excuse and then leave, like I did when I was younger, but being around boys your entire life can change that in an instant.

I felt myself move closer to him involuntarily. I couldn't help it, even when his hair was covering half his face he was adoreable. Usually, I'm not one to say that.

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:37 pm

He noticed her go silent. He looked at her unsure and saw her inch closer. So he did the same thing. "Hm, how about little questions? Like," he searched his head. "what's your favorite color?" he offered. A gentle breeze came in the cave and her scent lingered in the air. Jasper took a huge sigh and a smile seemed to be glued on his face.

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:44 pm

The silence grew between us until Jasper finally spoke. "I don't know, red, I guess." I noticed him move closer to me, just like I had did with him. At that, my smile widened. "How about you? What is your favorite color?"

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:09 pm

"I honestly don't know. It changes everyday." he shrugged. "But I'm thinking of...hazel." he said. He didn't know why, but it just involuntary slipped his tonge. Realizing why, he looked away, embarassed again. 'Stop embarassing yourself.' he ordered. It was going to be a long day. And he could feel it already.

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:37 pm

I blushed when he said hazel, realizing that he was implying my eyes. "Oh, that's nice," was all I had to say. My muscles began to shake at the silence of the conversation. I think both of us knew why we really were here, and I believe that one of us is going to have to tell the other sooner or later.

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:54 pm

He stared down. Silence passed, but it was somehow both comfortable and uncomfortable. "Honestly, Victoria, you seem quite nice." he didn't know where that came from, but it just slipped out. "And, well, you are pretty." he said, not meeting her eyes.

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Fri Feb 18, 2011 11:00 pm

My eyes widened when he mentioned I was pretty. My face flushed bright red, and seemed to become even redder the longerr I looked into his silver eyes. "Thanks," I replied with a wide smile. "You're- You're pretty cute, too."

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Fri Feb 18, 2011 11:27 pm

He really can't say anything more. He now just needs to accept the fact that he may like her. "T-thanks." he said. He went silent for a while, mind full of thoughts.

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Fri Feb 18, 2011 11:38 pm

Not knowing what else to do, I reached for his hand closest to me and held it. "So, uh, what now?" I inquired. I've only known Jasper for, what, a few hours? How could I possibly already feel this way about him?

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Fri Feb 18, 2011 11:55 pm

He though about it. "I really don't know. But this," he gestured to their current position, "is what i feel like doing." he said. He intertwined their fingers and looked at her hazel eyes. "If I could only pause this moment." he sighed.

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Sat Feb 19, 2011 9:08 am

My face must've looked like a tomato when he intertwined his fingers with mine. I looked at him a whole different way now. Not only was he cute, but sweet, too. "I- I- uh- I want the same thing," I stammered.

Subject: Re: Hoping for a strike of luck[private] Sun Feb 20, 2011 7:46 am

He lifted the edge of his mouth to for a crooked grin. Their intertwined fingers spread warmth throughout his body. Butterflies pounded his stomach, but he didnt let it show. 'Now or never.' he thought. He took a big gulp of air and looked at her hazel eyes. "I think. It was only a matter of time before-... Your the most-.. Well, I'm-" he thought hard how he'll deliver the words caught in his throat. "I think, I-I'm falling for you." he stuttered/said.

He thought about it. Could she feel the same way too? His face reddened but he kept her gaze locked. He searched her pretty face, looking for something that made him know she felt it too.
