Leo and Calypso's Garage

Chapter 15 (last chapter!)

Leo

Leo threw his jacket on and silently snuck out of the Hephaestus cabin. He stealthily started to make his way to Demeter's cabin. That was where Calypso had been staying for the past few weeks.

Once he was at the cabin, he picked a pebble up from the ground at tossed it at a second-story window. He waited a moment.

Nothing happened.

He tossed another one. This time, Lily (a daughter of Demeter), popped her head out of the window and looked around. Leo grinned at her and she blushed. She gave him a finger as if she was saying 'Hold on'.

He shoved his hands into his pockets and looked around to make sure nobody saw him.

A few moments later, Calypso's head poked out and she rolled her eyes at him. "What?" she whispered.

Leo smirked and nodded towards the beach.

Calypso pretended to think abut it, then nodded and disappeared. Leo could hear girls giggle from inside the cabin and he laughed.

Not too long after, Calypso hopped out of the cabin and started towards Leo.

"We are not allowed to do this, are we?" she asked as they walked.

Leo shook his head. "Nope. You're looking at a total bad boy."

Calypso grinned. "Who? The only person I see is a clumsy mechanic."

Leo rolled his eyes and bumped her with his hip. "Ha ha."

She laughed. "I am funny."

"Whatever you say, Sunshine."

Calypso gave another laugh and slipped her hand into Leo's. His heart started racing. He had to focus on not lighting her on fire.

"Leo?"

"Yeah?"

"Last week, Hazel mentioned a line of a prophecy that you had during the war. A line that had not been fulfilled yet. Do you think it could still happen?"

Leo shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe it still can happen."

"Final breath. That doesn't sound good, Leo."

"Maybe it's already happened. Nico could have made an oath and kept it by dying. You know what I think?"

"What?"

Calypso slipped her flip-flops off and stepped into the sand. Leo followed.

"I think that it was referring to your final breath on Ogygia. I made an oath to come back for you. It might have meant your final breath on that island."

Calypso seemed to think about it. "Maybe..."

Leo twirled her around. "We may never know."

She tried to hide a smile. Leo loved the way she looked in a T-shirt and jeans.

"Don't tell me you got me down here to dance."

Leo smirked. "Who said anything about dancing?" He pulled her into him anyways.

She rolled her eyes. "You are an idiot, Leo Valdez."

He grinned and dared to get closer. "But I'm your idiot."

She laughed. "That you are."

Leo smiled and allowed himself to kiss her head. She leaned into him as he did.

She said something that Leo couldn't hear. "What was that?" he asked.

She shook her head. "Nothing. I just never told you that after you left, three more heroes came to my island."
