We sat in comfortable silence looking at the water. My head was on Luke's shoulder and his head was on top of mine. We've been there for an hour now. First half an hour we were in the water slashing each other. I won, but not because I manipulated water.
I wonder how Luke got scared but I didn't want to ruin the mood. So I decided to say something else.
"*Tu sais, joli garçon, tu es autre chose. Je n'ai jamais ressenti ce genre de sensation auparavant. Jusqu'à ce que je te voie." I said looking at the water. Not wanting to confess to him in english yet. He hummed at that.
"We should get going. I need to put the younger kids from the Hermes cabin to sleep." Luke said slowly.
"How old is the youngest kid here?" I asked curious.
"Liam. He's 5. I mean he's going to be 6 this year but in like september." Luke answered after a few seconds. Then he started again. "His moral parent brought him here before he could walk and non of the gods claimed him as theirs so the Hermes cabin is the only family he has. We don't even know his last name all we know about him is that he's name is William." Luke explained.
I stayed quite at that. After a few seconds I got up and exchanged my hand to Luke so I could pull him up. He took it and I pulled him up. Then we started walking back the way we came. It was silence for a while. But the thing is that it wasn't awkward silence it was always comfortable silence between us. So we walked like that to the cabins. When we came I helped Luke with the kids. He was great with kids. When we got them to sleep other campers started coming and going to their beds.
I was lying on the floor next to Luke's bottom bunk. I sat up and looked at the clock in the middle of the cabin. It was exactly 3 o'clock. I lied back down looking at the ceiling. I haven't been here even a day. I mean physically I was but mentally I was here a few hours. I turned to lie on my right side so I would be face to face with Luke. He was really pretty. His lips looked soft.
"Take a picture it'll last longer." He said in a husky voice with his eyes still closed and a small smirk on his face. Shit his voice.
"Shut up. Go back to sleep." I said as I lied back on my back.
"Have you slept even a little?" Luke asked as he used hid elbow to sat up.
"I slept last three weeks. I'm good." I said giving him a small smile.
"Doesn't mean you don't have to sleep." He said seriously.
"I'll be fine. One night is nothing. Believe me there were multiple times I would lay awake at night and I wouldn't even know what my favorite color is." I said reassuring him. He gave me a sorry smile.
"You don't know your favorite?" He asked.
"Well I mean now I know I'm doing better then those nights." I said to calm him down.
"Then what is your favorite color?"
"Orchid." I said.
"Isn't that a flower?" Luke asked confused.
"The color got the name from the flower. It's a shame of purple." I explained.
"Then you just say purple. No need to be all fancy for me." He teased.
"But that's the thing. Orchid is not just purple it's like light purple but also it looks like it's pink but it's not. You know what I mean?" I tried to explain the difference to Luke who still looked like he didn't understand a thing I just said. "Just remember light purple." I gave up but gave him a smile.
"Is orchid your favorite flower as well or?" He asked curious.
"No, it's daisy actually."
"You're an strange girl." Luke stated.
"What's that suppose to mean?" I asked acting offended.
"You went from an complicated color and then explaining it in detail why it's not purple but then your favorite flower is a daisy, the first flower you learn to draw." He said. "I mean I'm digging it but most people would probably think you're weird."
"You dig my personality?" I asked sitting up and turning my head towards him. Then he realized what he said. and looked embarrassed. But after a second decided to be bold.
"Yeah I said that and I meant it. What you gonna do about it?" He asked with a smirk.
"Nothing. I'm just flattered an **Joli garçon is digging me." I said back.
"What does it mean?" He whispered yelled annoyed.
"You might find out soon, maybe you won't. It's all up to you." I teased. I turned my back to him and closed my eyes. "Good night, Joli garçon."
