Sunny Dayz (Dominic)

[Jacob Adams]

Isabella's feet stepped through the sand, as she looked for a suitable spot to soak up some sun. She eventually found the spot she wanted and set up the beach chair she had bought. Before relaxing, she looked at her toe nails, and decided that she would have to paint them again later. She then laid back and relaxed in the sun.

[Dominic Jones]

Nikolas had just spent the morning doing his faverite activity. Archery. He never got tired of the younger kids looks of amazement, as he managed to get a bulls eyes every time. But eventually he had been chased of the range by Chiron, who was saying that he needed to let the other children practise. So with that, he had headed back to his cabin, and picked up his guitar. It was time for his seconx faverite activity. Singing. He also grabbed the portable cd player, and the cd that contained the backing tracks. With these in hand, he had set out for the lake, with his bow slung across his back as always. As he approched, he slipped his shoes and socks of, and left them by the edge of the lake. He theb continued walking, feeling the sand between his toes. As he walked, he tuned his guitar. When it was ready, he put the cd player on loud, and began to strung. As he strung, he began to sing,

"Going back to the corner, where I first saw you. Gonna, camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move..."

He continued singing, completely oblivious that he had come across someone else. It wasn't unrolled he tripped over the chair, and fell on his face, did he first notice the other person. Turning of his cd player, he picked up his guitar and, after giving it a through check over to make sure nothing was broken, turned to through girl and said, "Sorry about that. I've been told I really need to pay more attention when I'm singing." He gave her a smile, held out his hand and then said, "I'm Nikolas Dionysios Metaxas, son of Apollo, as you probably guessed." He said, pointing at the guitar and cd player. "And you are?" He asked.

[Jacob Adams]

Isabella had been partially surprised and partially angered when he relaxation was interrupted with someone tripping over her and landing on their face. She lowered her sunglasses and shook the hand of the person, who introduced himself as Nikolas Dionysios Metaxas, a son of Apollo. When he asked who she was, she responded, ''..I'm Isabella Mariana Perez, daughter of Aphrodite, how do you do?''. Following this, she removed her hat and let her hair gleam in the sunlight.

[Dominic Jones]

Nikolas shook the hand, then released it."Nice to meet you Isabella." He said. 'A daughter of Aphrodite.' He thought. 'Well. No wonder she looks so nice.' He shook the thought from his mind, unaware that his face had gone bright red. "I'm fine. Thanks. How are you?" He asked, mindlessly strumming his guitar as he talked.

[Jacob Adams]

Isabella saw that Nikolas' face was blushing full force, and this caused her to smirk. Being a daughter of Aphrodite, she knew that when people met her, she instantly left a mark on them. He shook of his blush before asking how she was, strumming his guitar while he was at it. ''I'm great. I just came to the beach to soak up some sun and maybe go for a swim afterwards. How about you?''.

[Dominic Jones]

"That's one of the best reasons to come to the beach. The soaking up the sun bit, not the swimming bit. I prefer to leave that to Poseidons children. If I get in the water, chances are, I'd sink like a stone." He admited. It was true. Swimming was one of weak points. Always had been. "What am I doing here. Same as you really. Here to relax and soak up some sun, courtsy of dad." He said, his fingera now running over his elm-wood bow, absent mindedly pulling on the drawstring, whilst his other hand fiddling with the arrows.

[Jacob Adams]

Isabella slightly giggled as he exclaimed the disadvantage he had when he was in water. He then explained that he had come to the beach for the same reason as she had. She noticed that he was running his fingers over his elm-made bow. ''Well, you can sit down and continue what you were doing. I'm going for a quick swim now" she exclaimed as she took off her sunglasses, walked toward the water, and dove in. A few seconds later, she broke the surface and simply lay on top of the water.

[Dominic Jones]

Nikolas watched as Isabella dived into the water and gave a sigh. He wished he could swim like that, but his bones might as well be made of stone, what with the way he sank. As she broke the surface of the water, he noticed a bird flying overhead, and he couldn't help himself. Pulling an arrow out of his quiver, he notched it into his bow, took aim and fired. A couple've seconds later he heard a squak and a slight thud as the bird fell to the ground. He couldn't help but give a satisfied smile at this. But instead of continueing with the shooting, he put his bow to one side, and instead picked up his guitar. Giving it a quick tune up, he strummed it quickly to make sure it sounded ok, before turning to Isabella and asking, "Any song requests. There isn't much I don't know."

[Jacob Adams]

As she continued swimming at the surface, she heard the sound of a arrow whistling through the air and judging by the squak that followed, she guessed he had been aiming at a bird. As she came out from the lake, she took a towel that she had on her beach chair, and started drying her hair. She turned to him when he asked if she had any song requests. ''Not at the moment, how about you surprise me?", she said to him as she continued drying her hair.

[Dominic Jones]

Nikolas smiled as she asked him to play her a song. This was his time to shine, and his time to show of his own talent. He picked up his cd player and scrolled through his song collection until he found one of his faverate songs. Smiling, he picked up his guitar and said, "Alright. Let's see if you know this one." He began to strum, and as he did, he began sing,

music

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

Finishing up, he strumed the last few notes, before turning to Isabella and asking, "So. What do you think?"

[Jacob Adams]

Isabella had been drying her hair and listening as Nikolas started singing the song he had chosen. She smiled when he finished and asked how it was. ''It was amazing. Your really good at singing, as are most of your siblings, but nevertheless, it was fantastic'', she exclaimed before continuing to dry her hair.

[Dominic Jones]

Nikolas appreciated the compliment, even if she did compliment all of siblings as well. Putting the guitar to one side, he thanked her for the compliment, and the pushed his jet black hair out of eyes. Few the next few seconds there was an awkward silence, during which Nikolas took one look at Isabella, drying her hair, and found that his mouth had dry, his palms felt a sweater and his heart beat a little faster. Shaking his head, he thought to himself, "It's just because she's a daughter of Aphrodite. I'm sure this happens to most boys around her." But even as he thought it, some part of him was saying, 'Are you sure that's the reason. Sure it's not something else.'

[Jacob Adams]

As she continued to dry her hair, Isabella noticed the awkwardness in the silence that had overcome them. Personally, silences never bothered her, as she was always doing something to improve her appearance, even though it never needed improving. Nevertheless, as a daughter of Aphrodite, she could feel when someone was starting to develop feelings. She wasn't new to this, since a lot of boys had liked her. However, she actually felt...a different kind of attraction starting to build from Nikolas.

[Dominic Jones]

Nikolas still felt strange and he still didn't know why. Although, he did a small inkling as to what he was feeling. Could he? But once again he shuke his head. It couldn't be. But that little voice inside him kept insisting that it was. But he still didn't understand why. Usually he was fine around girls. Although he never really had much contact with girls. He left them alone, and they left him alone. It had worked fine, until now. Then suddenly, he remembered something. Didn't children of Aphrodite sense feelings. Hisind went into overdrive trying to think of something to do that would take his mind of Isabella. He could... swim. No that was good. He'd sink stright away. He could.... play the guitar. Nope. He'd forgotten the lyrics to most songs. He could.... shoot another bird. Nope. The way his hands were sweating and shaking, he probably shoot Isabella. Oh what to do?

[Jacob Adams]

Isabella slightly looked up and noticed that Nikolas looked like he was trying to get his mind off something. Knowing what it was, she slightly giggled. ''Look Nikolas, I'm a daughter of Aphrodite. My mother practically originated love. So I'm sure I can tell what's wrong with you. You don't need to act shy about it, I've seen it happen many times. Just tell me straight out. You like me, don't you?" She asked.

[Dominic Jones]

Nikolas' hands were becoming more and more sweaty and fumbly by the second. He could feel his heart speeding up, his his mouth now felt like the Sahara desert, and he was starting to get a bit hot under the collar. He was actually considering jumping into the lake, simply so he could cool down. But before he could even decide, Isabella started talking. And before he could interupt, she was asking if he like her. Nikolas started stuttering things along the lines of "No" and "Are you crazy" But after she gave him a look, he just simply said, "Yeah. Yeah I do."

[Jacob Adams]

Isabella smiled once her ''look'' worked. Apart from knowing when people were in''love'', Aphrodite kids also knew how to get them to admit their feelings. It all came with the perks of being children of the most beautiful mother of all. She noticed that he had calmed down after admitting his feelings, so she once again smiled her ''perfect'' smile. She got up, walked toward him, kissed him on his cheek (leaving a mark), and walked back to chair, with a simple ''I told you. See, it wasn't that hard, was it?"

[Dominic Jones]

Nikolas had to admit. Now that he had admitted his feelings for her. It felt like a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He also felt a bit happier. His feelings were out in the open, and he had nothing to hide. When Isabella got up, Nikolas wondered what she was doing. And then she kissed his cheek. He blushed slightly. He raised his hand to it, and felt a mark. ''See, it wasn't that hard, was it?" "Well. No I guess not." He raised his hand to his cheek again, and then asked, "If you don't mind me asking, why did you just kiss me on the cheek?"

[Jacob Adams]

ooc: Sorry it's so short.

Isabella put her sunglasses back on, and smiled as he asked why she had kissed him. ''The reason i kissed you Nikolas, is because I like you too'', she exclaimed as she closed her eyes and started soaking up rays from the sun again.

[Dominic Jones]

As she put her sunglasses on and explained why she had kissed him. To begin with, he was suprised. Mainly because no girl had ever admited to liking him. Then he thought, 'This has got to be a joke.' But when he voiced this, he just recieved a look that said, 'Not joking' Stuttering, he asked, "But why me. There's plenty of nicer and better looker boys at camp. Why me?" He repeated.

[Jacob Adams]

Isabella sighed when he started questioning why she had liked him, off all the boys at the camp. She saw that she would have to explain things to him. ''Nikolas, you should realize that you are questioning one of the daughters of the Goddess of Love. We don't explain why we like certain people. We just say that we do.'' she explained, smiling a bit.

[Dominic Jones]

OOC: Apologies for the shortness. I wasn't sure what to write

Nikolas listened to her explanation. He still didn't quite understand, but he thought it best to just leave the point. This was the first time that a girl he liked, was actually reciprecating the feelings, and he didn't want anything to jeprodise that. Instead he just stayed where he was, wondering what to do.

[Jacob Adams]

ooc: it's alright

Isabella noticed the silence that had overcome Nikolas. She slightly tipped her sunglasses down, and noticed that he was wondering what to make of the situation. Being a daughter of Aphrodite, she always knew what to make of any situations that involved romance. She pushed her glasses back up and spoke. ''If no one's going to talk, you might as well explain why you like me. Need I guess?" she asked.

[Dominic Jones]

Nikolas noticed her tip her sunglasses and look at him. Then she pushed them and asked him to explain why he like her. He took a breath and then said, "It actually has nothing to do with the fact the your a daughter of Aphrodite. I like you Isabella, because your nice and kind, and nothing like your siblings. Had you not told me you were one of Aphrodites kids, I wouldn't have guessed it. I mean, yes you are good looking, but still, I would've liked you, even if you weren't, simply because your nice, and you have a great personality. So.. there. That's why I like you."

[Jacob Adams]

ooc: I feel weird role playing as a girl lol

Isabella was in complete shock when Nikolas explained that she was different from her siblings. Was it true? Well, she did spend a lot of time doing her makeup, wardrobe, and so forth. However, she wasn't as vain as some of her sisters and brothers. She stayed in shock for a few minutes, before snapping out out of it and continuing to listen to his reason. Her smile returned to her face when he added the fact that aside from being good looking, she was nice and had a great personality. Smiling still, she took off her glasses, got out of her chair, went up to him, wrapped her arms around his head and kissed him. This kiss had genuine happiness and gratitude in it. ''That's the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me''she exclaimed happily.

[Dominic Jones]

Ooc: lol. That's why I tend to stick to playing guys ;

Looking at Isabella, as he said the truth about why he liked her, Nikolas was suprised to see the look of shock on her face, which promptly changed to a smile when he said she was good looking and nice with a good personality. When she got up and kissed him, instead of going red like last time, he just smiled and said, "It was nothing. Really. Just the truth."

[Jacob Adams]

Isabella smiled when he simply explained that what he had said was just him telling the truth. These words explained that he wasn't shy about his feelings anymore and that he was finally becoming in tune with them. She continued facing him as she closed her eyes. ''Now that everything's out in the open. Isn't there something you'd like to ask me?''.

[Dominic Jones]

Nikolas smiled back at Isabella. She had the sweetest smile, and when she did smile, it made him feel warm inside. When she faced him, and closed her eyes and started saying that everything was out in the open, then she asked if there was there was something he'd like to ask her, Nikolas didn't blush, or stutter his next sentence, instead he said it with as much confidence as he could muster, "Would you think me bold, if I dared to ask for a kiss?"

[Jacob Adams]

ooc: I ran out of ideas, srry.

Isabella listened as Nikolas questioned if she would think of him being too bold, if he asked for a kiss. Continuing to smile and her eyes still closed, she said, ''I'm only happy to oblige''. With that, she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned in.

[Dominic Jones]

OOC: It's ok. Happens to us all

There it was again. That perfect smile. And as was expected, it was followed by the usual feeling of butterflies in his stomach. Then came the words he had been hoping to hear, ''I'm only happy to oblige''. When she wrapped her arms around hid neck, he responded by wrapping his arms around her waist. As she leaned in, he leaned toward her, and within seconds their lips had met.
