BACKKKKKK! AND FASTERRRRRR!IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY ! :D
PERCY POV
As I walked, million of thoughts crowded my head. Fine maybe not million but there was one thing that my brain was focused on.
Athena
Gods, why can't I stop thinking about her? I should be spending time with Artemis; not thinking about the lovely, perfect, caring, Goddess of Wisd-STOP IT! STOP IT! YOU LOVE ARTEMIS! I had to prove it to myself. I flashed to Artemis' palace to visit her. I quietly walked to our bedroom. Once I reached it, Artemis was about to tuck herself in and go to sleep. She looked up and saw me. Our eyes met. Silver to Green. Then a huge and beautiful smile was stretched onto her face. Next thing I know she's hugging me and her head's on my chest. I smiled down at this sight. This was right. I loved Artemis not Athena….at least that's what I thought…
"Percy you're here" Artemis whispered unbelievingly
"Of course I am." I whispered back
"I just thought that after I went with Orion, you got so mad and then you showed up with Athena and it looked like you guys were having fun. You guys purposely made an excuse to just leave and I thought you didn't like me anymore." Artemis said and I could feel some wet spots on my shirt
I cupped her chin and forced her to look up at me. I wiped away the tears and leaned down and kissed her. The kiss was slow and caring. It may have been simple but it was one of the best kisses ever.
"Let's go to sleep okay?" I asked
"Yeah, let's go" Artemis agreed and slipped into the bed
Before I went to sleep, only one thing my brain/mind was focused on
Artemis
ARTEMIS POV
Once I woke up, I saw Percy lying next to me and I couldn't help but to smile at the sight. He was drooling slightly. It was cute. I'm glad we made up. He must have noticed I have woken up because the next thing I knew, he was awake as well.
"Morning beautiful" I involuntarily blushed
"You look cute when you blush" All that did was make me blush even harder
"See? You look beautiful" And I blushed more...I punched him and he gave out a yelp and I smirked at him
"Jeez, I complement you and all you do is punch me. Aphrodite why do you curse me?" He said jokingly and I raised my fist another time and he said "OKAY OKAY! I'LL STOP! No more punches please"
"Hmmmm, why should I do that Perseus Jackson?" I asked
"I'm too beautiful to die!" He said jokingly
"Oh gods if you live, the gods will have to deal with your ugly self all eternity" I moaned jokingly
Percy pouted and I gave him a little peck and he instantly smiled.
"How about we hang out later tonight?" Percy asked
"Sure. Where do you want to meet?"
"Let's meet at your palace"
"Okay, what time should I be there Percy?"
"Is 7:30 P.M. alright?"
"Yeah, I'll be here at 7:30 tonight"
"I have to go to the Hunt, Percy"
"Okay, I'll let you go. I have to go plan things anyway. Love you. Bye" Percy said and kissed me before he left
PERCY POV
I thought about what I could do for the date...what should I do? What does my amazing girlfriend deserve?
-Take her out for dinner? Nope! That's too unoriginal…
-Show her the world? Nope! She's a goddess Percy...stupid
-Hunting? Possibly, but she deserves more than that. If I were to do that, I would have to do something else too
Okay, I need to think. What does she like?
-Hunting
-Forests
-The moon? (xD)
-Orion? ._. (I can't I'm actually putting that... )
Should I actually cook for her? No, I won't use Hestia's blessing. I will cook it myself. Oh gods, how am I going to do this? I'm a terrible cook! I know what I'll do! I'll ask my mom to help me! She's the perfect cook. As I thought of this, I flashed to our apartment in New York. I knocked on the door and my mom opened the door.
"PERCY! YOU'RE HOME!" My mom yelled and crashed me into a bone crushing hug
"Mom! You're going to kill me!" I managed to yelp out
"I'm so sorry..I'm just so glad my little baby is home"She said while pinching my cheeks
"I'm not a baby mom…"I whined "I saved Olympus many times"
"You'll always be my baby" She said
"PERCY! It's so great to see you" Another voice shouted
"It's good to see you too Paul" I said and gave him a 'man hug'
"So! What brings you here today?" Paul asked
"I was going to ask my mom if she could help me cook venison pasta"
"Why?" My mom asked curiously
"Well.."I started to blush "I'm trying to make a picnic for my girlfriend and her favorite thing to eat is venison pasta"
"I don't remember Annabeth's favorite thing to eat was venison pasta" Paul said
"We broke up Paul after the Giant War because she became a goddess but we're still good friends" I said
"WHO'S YOUR GIRLFRIEND? I want to meet her Perseus. Who is she the daughter of? What is she like? How does she look like? What's her personality?" My mom said and started asking even more questions about her
"Okay, you might be surprised but you have to believe me...and mom she's not a demigod" I said
"Who is she?" Paul raised an eyebrow
"It's...well...she's Artemis" I said and my mom and Paul's mouths dropped to the floor
"You're dating the most committed maiden goddess?!" My mom screeched, she nearly broke my ears
"Yup" I said simply
"I just can't believe you Percy. Artemis? Really?" Paul questioned me
"YES! I'M DATING HER!" I said
"I want proof" My mom said and Paul nodded
"Fine I'll be back but you can't tell her why I was here"I said and they nodded
I vapor traveled to the Hunter's campsite, basically, I just teleported to Artemis.
"Percy! What are you doing here?" She asked and gave me a peck on the cheek
"I need you to come with me for just a few moments" I said
"Okay, let me just go tell Thalia that she's in charge for the mean time then" Artemis said and she ran off
Once she came back, I grabbed her hand and vapor traveled us to my mom's apartment.
Once we were back in the apartment, Paul and mom were in the same spots. When they saw our intertwined hands their jaws dropped to the floor...again.
Artemis knew immediately knew who they were and looked at me questioningly. I quickly whispered in her ear "They wanted proof that you were my girlfriend"
Artemis just shook her head at me. "How about this for proof?" Artemis whispered to me quietly and kissed me. It was short and sweet..just like Artemis...just kidding! She's actually tall but she is sweet, caring, beautiful, cute...I could go on…
Once they recovered from their shock, my mom said "You're actually dating my son?"
"Yes I am, Mrs. Jackson." She said
"I just can't believe that Lady Artemis is dating Percy...what did you do to get her Percy? Tell me...I'm curious...how did you get the hardest girl to get in Greek Mythology?" Paul asked
"Please, just call me Artemis" Artemis said "Also, he does have a knack for defying the impossible" She said with a smile and gave me another peck on the cheek
"Lady Artemi-"My mom started but Artemis interrupted her "It's just Artemis for you, Mrs. Jackson..or should I say Mrs. Blofis?"
"Either one is fine...Artemis" My mom said
'I certainly didn't think that they would meet like this' I thought
"Artemis?" My mom asked
"Yes, Mrs Jackson?" Artemis replied
"Please just call me Sally, and my husband, Paul" My mom said and gave her a smile and it made me smile that Artemis smiled back
Then suddenly, someone appeared in the room. Who was it? When the light died out
I saw who it was...it was Athena.
Why was she here? I thought she didn't want to see me? She was acting cold and not like her last night. She wasn't even responding to me..so why would she be here right now?
My mom asked "Who are you?" she asked it as politely as she could though
"I'm Athena, the Wisdom goddess" She said and my mom was going to bow and Paul was as well but then she said "Please, don't bow to me Mr and Mrs. Blofis" "Also, please just call me Athena"
(The love triangle! hehehehehehe :P) (Also I was going to make it a cliffy but I decided not to :D)
"I don't want to seem rude but why are two goddess here?" Paul asked
"Athena is a ...friend of mine" I explained to Paul and my Mom...and Artemis "She probably wanted to tell something to Artemis or me since she flashed to our location"
Then Artemis just had to sneer "What are you doing here, Athena?"She asked venomously
"I just wanted to talk to Percy that's all but I see that you guys were doing something here, I'll just leave" She said
"Yeah, you probably should" Artemis said and they both glared at each other...Gods! What is their problem? Athena flashed away and I couldn't help but be a bit sad about that but I had other things to do other than be sad about what she did
"I'm so sorry. It's just Athena and I are not on the greatest terms right now" Artemis explained
"I should be going. I have to take care of the Hunt" Artemis said and also left
Once they both left. We go all the ingredients and started cooking. After several hours, I can say I was proud that I made a dish that was so good. I really hoped that Artemis liked it.
~THE DATE~
Artemis didn't even come to our meeting spot. Where was she? She was 2 HOURS LATE! Yes, I've been waiting here for her for 2 hours. I was getting really ticked off. The food was cold and everything that I planned out..we wouldn't be able to go there. GOSH WHERE WAS SHE? I decided that I've had enough and flashed to her location.
There she was with
Orion.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! I'M REALLY HYPER TODAY! SEE YA GUYS LATERRRRRR. :P
