Aris smiled watching Kal and then said, "Glad you like it." Then he took a sip of his smoothie and the blend of all the tropical fruits with a light hint of honey. The taste was heavenly it was a perfect sweetness and it cooled him a little bit as it was quite warm outside. The drink brought a big smile to Ariston's face and he nodded and made the sound "mmm.." as he drank it. Looking at Kal he was convinced that this may be his favorite restaurant soon if lunch was up to par.

Kalika watched as he drank the smoothie. When he made the noise she couldn't help, but giggle. "Glad you like it." She mimicked him softly with a wink. The blonde just hoped the lunch was as good as the drinks were. Her eyes were drawn to a colorful fish splashing on the surface of the pond. She stared at him for several minute then her blue eyes were on Ariston. Kalika just smiled at him as she looked across the table at him..

The man smiled and laughed lightly when he swallowed all of the drink. Then he stared at the woman across from the table and it brought a smile to his face as she became amused by the fish. He couldn't help but see how beautiful she was and it was amazing to watch her stare at it. Then as she looked up and locked eyes with him he was sure that this was love and without thinking he softly said, "I love you..."

{haha i love how we have two totally opposite vibes going on. here happy elemental, sad. it's tearing me apart >.< haha in a good way.}

Kalika blushed a light shade of pink when he said he loved her. "I love you too, Ariston." She smiled as her heart vibrating and shook like a million violins being plucked. He was playing her heart strings like a lovely mandolin and it sounded sweet to her ears. Smiling she watched as the waitress laid the food out for them. Such service and here so quickly. The demigoddess found she could not yet pull her eyes away from Aris as she just stared at him more.

(lol yeah this is great... and elemental is really making me sad, I think if I were to re read it... I would probably cry and I'm not sensative at all)

Aris smiled at Kalika hearing her repeat those words and as the waitress brought them their food he dubbed this resturant his favorite just off of service alone. Then he got up and walked around the table and raised Kalika's chin and stared her in the eyes for a few seconds before he pressed his lips to hers. After the few seconds that seemed like an eternity thier lips parted and he went and took his seat with a love filled smile on his face.

{I have shed tears haha just little ones. i'm sensitive though >.< I just try and post, but i get so emotional into it... that i feel like Alita right now haha}

Kalika was surprised when Ariston got up from his seat and kissed her. Her heart and body froze in that moment as their lips were together. Once they parted her heart thrummed rapidly again in her chest. She returned the same loving grin then giggled when her tummy growled. A soft blush colored her cheeks as she sent out a few prayers. Quite a nice one to her darling mother. Looking back at him she took some of her lobster and shrimp off the skewers. Then she also started breaking her crab meat fresh from the shell. Her eyes peeking over at her love every so often.

(I haven't yet but I have been close to it lol... I get into it as well and I can imagine what it would feel like in Jin's shoes)

Aris closed his eyes and said his prayers and even offered one up to Aphrodite and his father in thanks for their parts in this relationship whether they approved of it or not. Taking his fork in hand he began to go to work on his alfredo and it was an amazing taste. The seafood was fresh, the alfredo was creamy and well mixed and the noddles were nice and tender, all together the blend created a wonderful flavor that satisfied all the senses. He was more than impressed with the chef here, the gods had truly blessed him with a marvelous talent and it made him wonder if Kalika could cook like this... He didn't want to ask right now though since it didn't matter and he was enjoying his meal thoroughly. Every now and then he met the gaze of the woman's across the table.

Giggling as she watched him eat she decided she could enjoy her meal as well. She nearly gasped when the crab entered her mouth. It felt as though it danced on her tongue as she swallowed it down. Then she took bites of the shrimp and lobster she couldn't help but grin. It was delicious! Even though she disliked rice it tasted fantastic. She knew Aris was thinking the same thing. Kalika continued eating til all of her crab was gone, a few pieces of lobster and shrimp remained, and quite a bit of rice. Her ice tea was mostly gone as well. She held her stomach and laughed as she looked at him. "I ate too much." A soft blush colored her cheeks as she admitted it.

It was almost as if his plate had become a battlefield when he was finished, there was nothing left on it. He was happy that Kalika had chosen this place as it was amazing and he was sure that there wasn't a better resturant in all of Greece in his opinion. He had finished his smoothie as well and he leaned back in his chair in full agreement with Kalika as he nodded, "Yeah maybe you're right... I think I need a nap," he replied. It was good that they had gotten a chance to really relax and enjoy each other for once, it was refreshing.

Kalika nodded in agreement. "Mmm. I feel sleepy now too." She yawned as she even mentioned the word. Her eyes had done a good job leading them hear. Looking at him she smiled softly. [b]"Would you like to go take a nap now? Or did you have something else planned?"[b] She asked him softly. Kalika wasn't sure if they had a job to do here or what... unless the kracken was it, but if he had other plans she could nap at night of course... when it was normal.

"Yes I'm sleepy. We don't have anything to do for the next few days so all our time is ours and now I want to take a nap so lets go," he said as he stood up and placed the money for the meal and tip on the table. He walked over and locked fingers with Kal then led them back to the hotel at a fairly fast pace wanting desperately to get some rest. He hoped she didn't mind the fast pace but he was tired...

Kalika had a hard time keeping up at his pace from her sleepiness, but smiled when they entered the room. Following him upstairs she looked at the ravish room. She blushed at the beauty then yawned. Slipping her boots off she went and laid on the one couch. "I'll sleep here." She mumbled. Laying on her stomach she took off her metal corset armor and laid it aside as she laid her head on her arms. Yawning she closed her eyes....

Aris was amazed at the beauty of the room then shook his head almost insulted that she didn't want to sleep in the bed with him. So he undressed and before he got in the bed he walked over to the couch and picked her up and laid her in the bed. He didn't care if she protested he didn't want her laying on the couch for one and he wanted to have her nex to him, it was a strong feeling that was driving him so he listened to it. Then he got in the bed next to her and laid down almost instantly falling into a slumber...

The blonde had been playing a game with Ariston. She was curious to see if he was going to move her into bed with him. Opening one eye she saw that he was coming over to lift her up and closed it immediately. Kalika kept a giggle back as he carried her over to the bed. Slipping off her bottoms she threw them to the side as she left her panties on. Seeing he had fallen asleep she wrapped her legs around his and laid her head on her chest and wrapped her arms around his torso snuggled up against him softly falling asleep...

Ariston had not fallen completely asleep as she made her move against him when he closed his eyes, he wanted to smile but didn't. He was unsure of what she would think since he had nothing on at all but was glad she wasn't touching his lower extremities. Feeling the comfort of her body next to his the warrior slowly drifted back towards a deep slumber...

Kalika woke when the sun hung low in the sky. She assumed it to be just about evening. Softly kissing Aris on the cheek she unraveled her body from around his and slipped from the bed. Leaving her clothes on the floor she went into the one closet to find a soft satin white robe. Grabbing the robe she headed to their bathroom to see the beautiful bathroom decorated in ivory and gold. On the dome ceiling was a large painting of Aprhodite, and the other god's and goddesses around her. Drawing herself a bath of warm water she saw the perfumes on the table and filled the tub with the scents of chocolate, cinnamon, and vanilla. Slipping the robe gently off her shoulder she hung it on the hook then stepped into the large tub. Softly she relaxed as she let her body soak.

When he awoke he found himself in the bed alone quite to his discomfort actually especially since he was feeling lazy. Getting up he went to the closet and pulled out an elaborate black silk robe lined with gold, it was a bit lavish for his tastes but he wasn't complaining. Hearing some water running he figured she was in the bathroom about to take a bath and he was tempted to join her but decided against it. Instead he went to their kitchen area to warm up some his favorite cinnamon tea. When the water finally started to boil he tossed the tea packet in there and added sugar and honey so that all of the ingredients would meld together perfectly...

Kalika heard Ariston wake up, and she decided she had sat in the bath long enough. She washed her body and her hair. Draining the water from the tub she dried her hair off then gently ran a comb threw her dried locks. She saw gold flecked powder on the counter as she softly patted some on her cheek bones and saw the glowing affect it gave her eyes. Giggling softly she twirled around then put her robe back on. Tying it softly at the waist she walked out to smell cinnamon again. Walking into the kitchen she crept up on Aris and gently put her chin on his shoulder. "Have a nice nap?" She asked him softly as she looked over his shoulder.

{i just realized she like always takes a bath when she gets up XD.}

Aris preoccupied with making his tea didn't hear Kal as she approached him from behind. It started him a bit but he didn't jump or flinch he simply looked at her on his shoulder and stuck his tongue out and dotted her forehead with it. Then after a short smile he replied to her question, "Yeah I suppose so, I still feel lazy and I had to make myself get up to make the tea. But I think I'm going to lay back down when I finish making it." He chuckled a little to himself and then turned around after he had finished mixing all the ingredients to look at her. She looked amazing and seemed to glow almost, not to mention that he eyes were shining like they were stars which drew his attention to them and held it there. He went into a trance staring at them for a while without even noticing...

(It's all good lol nothing wrong with good personal hygiene)

The blonde giggled as he touched his tongue to her forehead. "It's okay. I just wanted to take a bath... It was nice and warm." She said softly as he turned around. Kalika blushed softly as he took in her appearance. She looked Aris up as she looked up into his eyes as well. He was such a hansom man that sometimes she wondered how someone so good looking could be in love with her. She just thanked the fates and gods for blessing her. Then she realized the powder was doing it's trick. She let out a soft laugh. "Well, there was powder in the bathroom with little gold flecks in it... I see it makes my eyes alluring." Kal laughed softly. Stepping forward she softly took his one hand and softly held it in between both of her's gently look up at him as she lightly held it.

All Aris could manage to say after all of that was, "I see." Then as she approached him the overwhelming urge to kiss her came over him and he moved his free hand to the lower part of her back and placed his lips to hers. Her body was warm against his as he let his emotions spill out and he began to wonder why she wasn't already married. She was far to beautiful to be left alone and he needed her to be with him at all times no matter what. They hadn't been dating long so he was in no rush but he had no plans to let her leave his side anytime soon. She was more than any man deserved, him included so he tried to make her happy and keep it that way. If she told him she didn't want to fight anymore he would be alright with that just as long as she went wherever he went. She was worth so much to him and he was trying not to run her off by doing too much or too little, he had to keep a balance.

At his kiss she released his hand. Moving her hands they rested gently on his chest as she kept their lips together. Her heart fluttered quietly as she kissed him. It was surprising how many times a day this man gave her butterflies all the way down to the soles of her feet. She just couldn't help, but be happy in his arms, be happy around him. Kalika felt as though she was floating on clouds as their lips remained together. Sometimes she swore she could just stay liked this forever.

When their lips finally parted Aris had to regain his breath since she had literally taken it away. He knew why he loved her and this was one reason amongst many. He loved being in her company and felt that he needed to be with her. She was the light in an otherwise dark and bloody world that he lived and she gave him some respite. As long as she was around it seemed that he could keep the identity of who he was because he had once been afraid he would lose himself to the world of war and strife. He loved his father and was thankful for bringing him into this world but he didn't want to live the same type of life as him. It was odd but this was the salvation that Kalika gave him.

Kalika inhaled softly as their lips seperated. Her eyes stayed closed for several minutes then she reopened them looking at him. She loved him so dearly it was hard to bear. Wrapping her arms around his waist she nuzzled softly against his chest. "I love you Ariston." She lightly kissed his chest and squeezed him tightly. Kalika would do anything to keep Aris in her life. He was her fresh air, and her sushine. He was everything to her to make her happy...

Wrapping his arms about her neck being careful not to squeeze her too roughly he whispered, "I love you too," in his rough deep voice. Then after a short embrace he parted from her and took her hand gently and led her back to their bedroom and sat down on the bed. Then after thinking for a while he asked her, "Kal you know your mother doesn't approve of me correct? Out of curiosity why is it she has not tried to ruin this relationship?" He was simply curious, not that he was trying to kill the mood but he wanted to know.
