Mount Olympus

Jace

I flash a smile and nod, swallowing as I realize I'm in nothing but my boxers and... Ugh. Nic has polluted my very way of thinking. I set a hand on the side of her face and stroke her cheek with my thumb.

"Yeah, he's just gonna drop it off by our things," I say, "He knows we're...not in the best attire."

Rayah

I nod and flash a smile, glancing out onto the lake, "Yeah."

The waves get calmer but don't change much. I Look back up at him and take a deep breath, "I slept out here last night, too."

Jace

I look at her, confused, "All by yourself?"

Rayah

I nod, "Yeah. I needed to relax and this seemed like the only way to," I tell him.

Jace

I nod, "That's where the cold came from then, huh? It was raining last night..."

Rayah

I nod agian, "I guess..." I remember I buried my journal somewhere around here but dissmiss it quickly, glancing around for the spot on shore.

Jace

I watch her look around for something on shore and flash a smile, "Wanna get out of the water?"

Rayah

I nod and smile, jumping off the rock and onto the sand. I see Alyx had dropped off the towels and blankets and I drop to my knees in the sand, humming a song as I find my journal. I smile and pick it up, spreading out a towel and laying down on it.

Jace

I follow her out and lay beside her, wondering what the notebook she has is.

"What's that?" I smile, not reaching for it or anything.

Rayah

I glance at him with a smile, "My songbook and journal," I said, flipping though it.

Jace

I smile and sit up a little, looking at her, "Sing me something."

Rayah

I sigh, remembering what I told him, and hand him the book, "Pick one."

Jace

I flash a smile and flip through, finding one and handing it back to her.

Rayah

I roll my eyes at him, flashing a smile. Of course he would pick the one that's about him... I look down at it and read over it, biting my lip.

There’s something ‘bout the way you look at me,
Those eyes, drive me crazy,
I swear I would do anything to see them,
Everyday

There’s something ‘bout the way you touch me,
Those hands fit perfectly in mine,
I swear I would do anything to feel them,
Everyday

It’s not complicated,
No baby, don’t go away,
There’s nothing to figure out,

‘Cause I’m myself when I’m with you,
You make me feel safe,
Calm me down,
Oh but baby, those eyes,
You got to know I love blue,
And that I love you

There’s something ‘bout the way you kiss me,
Those lips are tempting,
I swear I would do anything to kiss them,
Everyday

There’s something ‘bout the way you hold me,
Those arms make me feel safe,
I swear I would do anything to hug you,
Everyday

It’s not complicated,
No baby, don’t go away,
There’s nothing to figure out

And I’ve been waiting,
To hear those three words,
That makes my heart beat fast,
And make me love you even more

‘Cause I’m myself when I’m with you,
You make me feel safe,
Calm me down,
Oh but baby, those eyes,
You got to know I love blue,
And that I love you

And when I’m alone with you,
I spend the time with a smile,
Loving how you say my name,
Kiss my cheek,
And I’ll do anything you want to,
Because I love you

Oh yeah baby, ‘cause I love you.


I sing it to him, needing my guitar, but do it anyways, blushing when I'm finished.

Jace

I smile, taking her face in my hands when she's done and kissing her quick, "S'beautiful, Ray."
