The Unwanted Goddess

Day Out Part 2

There we were sitting at a table waiting for our food to arrive. Apollo was next to me and in front of us was Luke. He was smiling happily when his food appeared in front of him. He had ordered a double cheeseburger, fries, and a soda. 

"So what do you want Apollo?" I asked looking at him.

 He was staring at Luke and after a second he rubbed the back of his neck and finally looked at me. He gave me a small smile.

"Well I just wanted to talk to you that's all," he told me. I looked at him closely and just let it go. 

"Have you read the plans for the demigod city, I want to get this project going already" I said talking to him. He sighed and nodded.

"Can we talk about that at a different time? Right now I just want to talk to a friend." He looked so tired and worn out. What's going on with him? He is always so cheerful.

"Do you want to talk about your problems, I'm a good listener" I suggested. I could tell whatever he is going through must be rough.

"No it's fine I'll get over it." This time he said it with a smile. 

I went back to look at Luke and he was happy eating all his food. A few minutes later a waiter appeared with my and Apollo's food. 

"Thank you" I responded. I turned to him and smiled. He was tall and he had jet-black hair. 

"Y-your welcome," he said still standing there. I started moving my food around and heard Apollos say, "You can leave now". He said it so rudely. 

"Can you calm down, you don't have to be rude to the guy" I told him. He gave me a weird face. One I was never used to.

"He wanted you, you know that?". I looked at him weirdly, that guy liked me. That's weird this whole time I was alone, no one looked at me in that way. 

"That's weird it never happened to me". He sighed and just started rubbing his head. 

"Why are you so mad today?" I asked really considered, not just for me but for Luke.

"Momma, I think he likes you," he said looking at Apollo.

Right when he said that, Apollo looked up from where he was and his face became bet red. I started laughing it was so funny, poor Luke embarrassed Apollo.

"No he doesn't Luke, he's an Olympian, I'm just a goddess," I told him with a smile.

I looked down at my food and started eating, I didn't feel that comfortable because Apollo was just staring at me the whole time. At one point I looked up and say that he hadn't touched his food. Did he have something to say to me?

"Yes?" I said looking at him. He just blinked and smiled.

"Let me take you on a date," he said straight forward. I instantly blushed and turned my head toward my food. 

"You see mom he does like you!" Luke said all excited. I got even more embarrassed and just stayed there.

"So what do you say, goddess? Do you want to go on a date with me?" Apollo said. I looked back at him with a straight face. I looked at him even more making sure he wasn't lying. He had a smirk on his face and was looking at me. 

"No. I don't want to go on a date with you". I was sad, he is handsome and he looks like a good guy. But all those stories about him make me fear that he is going to break my heart.

"I'm sorry but all those stories about you don't help your case". He just frowned and nodded. I sighed and just looked at Luke and even he felt bad for Apollo.

"We are still partners Apollo, this can't change the project we are working on," I told him.

"And I still want to be your friend, I'm not close to anyone of the Olympians". He just nodded and finally started eating.

After we finished eating Luke and I parted ways with Apollo. We decided to go back to Camp. Once there, everyone was staring at us. Trying to figure out what we did. We made our way to the cabin. We finally set all the bags down and finally relaxed. We stayed on the couch watching Tv for a few more minutes until a loud bomb was heard.

"Everyone it is dinner time" A loud roar was heard throughout the camp. It scared me I never heard that happen before. Maybe it's because it's the first time I stayed at the camp for this long. I smiled knowing that I'm going to like this place.
