"The brain box and the Brutal beauty" (Adam and Viv)

[Deleted]

Today was the day! Today was the day that the young son of Athena finally acted on his feeling of affection for a fellow camper and daughter of Hades named Vivian. She was a bit older then he was but that didn't bother him at all. Ever since young Adam came to camp half blood he had had a crush on the butt kicking beauty. He loved how strong she was in both body and spirit and it didn't hurt that she was so beautiful that she gave Aphrodite herself a run for her dracma's. Adam finally had come up with the perfect plan to woo the girl he adored as well after observing the Aphrodite campers and how they handled themselves. Adam had asked around a bit and found out that Vivian loved guys in suits. Knowing this, Adam dug out the black suit that his father had left him in his will and quickly got dressed.

Once he was dressed, the young genius headed down to the mess hall and asked the Nymphs to prepare him a large picnic basket which contained gourmet ham and turkey sandwiches with mayo and ketchup packets as well as lettuce and tomatoes. He also got some freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and some nice fruit juice. Once the food was prepared he grabbed a large soft blanket and put it in the bottom of the basket. He then asked one of the nymphs to write out a note for him and deliver it to the Hades cabin for Viv. Once the note was written, Adam read over it with a smile.

"Dear the lovely Vivianna, I would like to ask you to meet me down by the beach for a wonderful afternoon picnic and each others company. I hope you decide to attend. Sincerly, your secret admirer."

Once he was done checking the note over he folded it up and gave it to the nymph who quickly went off to deliver it. Adam then quickly headed down to the beach and found a nice secluded place and spread out the blanket and then the food. He then knew that all he had to do now was wait and hope for the best. As he waited he shut his bright green eyes and decided to pray to his mom.

"Mom, I know you aren't the goddess of love but I really need your help and guidence in getting the girl of my dreams to fall for me. Please find it in your heart to help out your loyal son."

This had to be a joke.

First Drew was being all vague with her about having to meet him later tonight on the beach. On the beach. At night. He needed to tell her something that couldn't happen any other time, apparently. And to top it all off, her siblings managed to track her down to give her a note. A freaking note. And it wasn't just any sort of note. It was a love note from a secret admirer. Somebody was going to pay if this turned out to be a joke. She shooed her siblings away and she crumpled up the note before she stormed down towards the beach. Drew was already putting her on edge and this was going to be the cherry on top of her crazy cake.

So she stormed down to the beach and walked along it before she saw it. A boy looking like like had a beach picnic happening. Once she got closer, she noticed the boy was in a suit. "What the Hades," she muttered to herself before she got close enough so he could hear her. "What the hell is going on?" she asked before she took a moment to take a deep breath to compose herself. Damn. Whoever he was, he looked good. "Who the hell are you? What's this about?"

As Viv approached the beach and got close enough that he could hear her melody of a voice, Adam couldn't help but gulp and shudder with anticipation and a fair bit of joy. The sad thing was that she didn't seem all to happy to see him or the lunch that he had prepared for her which made him feel a disheartened but he was a son of Athena which meant that he wasn't gonna give up until he won her over! As Viv asked who he was, Adam stepped forward and straightened his tie and bowed like a gentleman and gave her his best country boy smile.

"Howdy there beatiful Vivianna, my name is Adam Jackson son of Athena. I asked you to come here for a picnic because I was tired of admiring you from afar. I have thought that you are the most beautiful and the most strong woman I have ever seen ever since I arrived at camp two years ago. Up until now I have been to shy  to ask you out but I decided that now was as good a time as any."

Adam then gave her a big confident smile as his southern accent shined through as if he was a cowboy and a southern gentleman. He just motioned to the well prepared food made by the nymphs with a rather big smile. As he looked at it he hoped that he was seeming as confident as he wanted to feel.

"I had the Nymphs prepare us a nice gourmet style meal. I have both turkey and ham sandwiches served on glazed rolls with tons of fixins if you want them as well as some fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and some nice and cold fruit punch. I really hope you decide to stay and that everything is to your liking."

Adam smiled and walked toward Viv feeling a bit nervous but did his best to keep his confident country boy expression. When Adam reached her he smelled her perfume in the air which forced him to blush because of how much he liked it. He gulped a small gulp and held out his hand to her palm up as if he was asking her to dance.

"Please stay and at least enjoy this one meal with me?"

Viv had a gut feeling that things weren't going to be good. What kind of guy wore a suit on the beach? In her mind, it was the creepy ones and she was willing to give him a chance to hear him out. But oh no, he made a mistake right off the bat. He called her Viviana. Nobody ever was allowed to call her Viviana except for her mom and this dude in front of her definitely didn't look like he birthed her. She clenched her hands up into fists as she hesitated for a second. He was looking so good in his suit. It was a shame if it were to get blood on it.

Without another thought, she aimed one of her fists right for his face. "I don't care who you are," she spat out when she brought her fist back. "But nobody and I mean nobody calls me that, okay? It's Viv or you'll meet my fists. Got it?" She lowered her fist as she took a step back. "And I think we're done here, Casanova. Good luck getting a date." And with that, she spun on her heels to storm away from him.

Adam couldn't help but cringe as Viv began to chew him out and begin to look like she was going to punch him in the face. As she turned to walk away, Adam quickly rushed after her and quickly stepped in front of her. He then held up his hands in a way as if to silently say that he meant no harm. He then blushed as he looked her in her beautiful eyes. As he did, his normally focused and determined gaze softened to where if Viv really looked she would see the damaged and slightly broken man that was hidden by the smarts and courage.

"I promise you this is not me pulling your leg Viv. I dressed like this because I asked around and found out you like guys in suits. I may be a genius because of who my mother is but if there is one thing I don't understand it's women and that's actually okay. I asked you to come meet me because I want to understand you and I want to be around as much as I possibly can. I have had feelings for you ever since I first saw you. You are the strongest person I have ever seen in both spirit and body. You are so beautiful that even Aphrodite would have a run for her dracmas."

Adam couldn't help but blush a deep red. He could name all of the countries of the world, recite Shakespeare and draw masterpieces but facing the woman who held his heart made him feel as if his IQ had dropped down to zero and he was drooling on himself. She made him get out of his own head and began to think with his heart and the surprising thing was, it felt rather nice. He prayed that he could win her over.

"All I'm asking of you is one meal and a chance for you to get to know me. All I want is a chance to show you I'm not just one of the camps brainbox nerds. Let me show you that I'm worth your time and worth your attention."

Viv didn't know why she didn't slug Casanova right then and there, but she figured that it should give him a good enough warning to leave her the hell alone. However, she was not that lucky. The boy didn't get the hint at all and decided to step in front of her and try to explain himself. And the more the talked, the more that Viv wished she punched the boy in the face in the first place to get all of this over with. "You asked around?" she hissed at him as she moved up closer to him to get up in his face. "So you're telling me you're a creep as well as a stalker? Great move Casanova. Most girls might be into that Twilight or Fifty Shades shit, but not me."

She stepped back to get out of his face as her hands curled up in fists again. "So you can take your crush and shove it. I don't date at all, especially creeps, which you probably would've found out since you already asked around to find out about suites. Besides, I'm already have an arrangement with someone else." She eyed the boy before she said, "And go to the tailor. Maybe they'll help you find a girl to be creepy on. Now get out of my face. Forever." She moved to walk past him quickly before he tried to rebuttal or else she would hate to ruin that face of his.
