As I was getting ready to go to my cabin,I heard a sound.
I got closer just to see it was David who was singing.
I got next to him.
-Wow...did you studied guitar?
-No...he said panicked...I learned at home..I always wanted a violin when I was little but I got a guiar and now I can't stay without singing.
I smiled looking at him.
-Can I stay here?I have to patrol tonight but I don't want to stay with the others.
-Yeah...yeah...sure..he said laughing nervously.
He started to sing.I noticed something on his hand.A tattoo,just like mine.He had a turquoise line and a pencil.Wait a second...turqoise is my favorite color and I love drawing.
I looked at my tattoo.The black line was shining,fact that fricked me out.
I was calmed by David's beautiful voice and the sounds of his guitar.
"It's nothing that I have to worry,just,enjoy the moment" I said to myself.
I looked at the sky.The sun was seting,meeting the water.
It wasn't too cold outside but somethimes there came the cold wind that always made me freeze.
I didn't knew at what I was suppose to look first,at the sky,at the lake and it's reflections or at David and his cute face.
He stopped from singing for a second.
-Are you okay?he asked probably observing that I was staring at his face.
-Yeah...I 'm perfect...Why?
-Well...you are shaking.Look...take my jacket.
He took his denim jacket and put it on my back.He looked at me smiling.
-Thanks...I said to him as he started staring at the sky without blinking like he does when he think.
-You're welcome...he said still thinking.
-What are you thinking about?
-Nothing...he said nervously and looked away.
-Is everything ok?
-Yeah...he said sighing.Look...can I ask you something,Mary?
-Yeah..anything...I said preparing for the question.
-Ok...he took a deep breath and then he started...you know we took the Ophiotaurus back in Mount Olympus togheter,right?
-Yeah..and?
-And we had fun in the elevstor...because we didn't had anything else to do....
-And...?
-And...I was wondering.....did something appeared on your skin since then?
-Yes..with a line and a galaxy.. Why?
-Well...I got one too.....with a turquoise line and a pencil.
-Wait...What?
-Yeah..I know..
-No...the thing is that...those tattoos with a line and an object are soulmate tattoos.Chiron told us.
He showed his hand to me.I inspected the tattoo and I showed My tattoo too.
He touched my skin to check something.Then he touched his skin too and smiled.
-What happened?I said trying to find out why he wad smiling.
-Nothing...just...now,we both have the same speed of heartbeat.
Our colored lines from the tattoo started to shine again.
I looked at him..he panicked a little but he didn't took his hand away.
The black line from my tattoo and his turquoise line detached from our skin and united togheter,forming a heart.
He looked in to my eyes panicked.He tried to take his hand away but the heart didn't let him.
-I guess is that rare case of soulmates...I said.
-What are you talking about?
-Chiron told us that once in a 100 years..in every country,exists a special kind of soulmates...a kind that can't break up...spending all the time togheter.
-It's meant to be togheter...he said slower like someone might just listen to us.
I smiled.
-Maybe...
He smiled too.
The lines finally breaked up and came back in the tattoo.
He standed up and he helped me.
-Mary....he said....I have to tell you something.
-What happened?
-Nothing...Nothing...just I was trying to say this since you came in to the camp.
He turned a bit red but continued.
-The truth is....the truth is...that I...that I.. like..
he said turning now red as the most red crab from the world.
-You like?
-I like you...that's what I fell.
-Oh,David...I wish I could say that too...but..
His faced turned white..looking now at the ground...
-I love you.
As I was saying the word "love" he looked at me surprised.
-You are the only person who understands how I feel...evan if we don't talk much or spend time together...I just...I don't know...said David.
He took my arm,looked into my eyes and huged me.
-Maybe we could change that.I said to him probably blushing.
-Yeah.
Ivy, who was also patroling,came.She saw us.I,quick,stand up.
-Sorry to interupt you...she said almost laughing.We have to go in the forest togheter.
-Yeah...sure...Bye David..
I gave him his jacket and I walked with Ivy.
She started to ask me lots of questions.
