Family of Greek Gods: Four

665 - New Home

Jasmine James POV
I look at my sons as they work on their things. It has been a few months since we moved to our new house and they're already adding the extra. They already got a gazebo and a picnic table added and now they're gardening and planting and everything.
Asher Channe POV: Age - 17
I smile as we finish planting one row of flowers at last.
DJ-Is looking good.
-Is starting to look good.
DJ-Mom is looking and I think she likes it.
-When we're done she will love it.
DJ-When we're done we can go out and enjoy ourselves more.
-Yeah.
DJ-And you can see that lady cashier again.
I feel how my entire body heats up at the mention of her.
-Not really. I don't know what you're talking about. I like shopping. Weird but true.
DJ-I know everything but I can keep it a secret.
I look at him a minute before I stand and go inside the house. I have to refresh myself.
Drake Jayr POV - 17
I clean up the garden by myself before I catch Ash on his bedroom. I pushed a button on his patience but I still feel his need to talk. Our connection is strong that goes both ways, sometimes a blessing others a curse. I take a deep breath before I knock on his open door.
AC-Hey.
-Are you alright?
AC-Of course I am. You didn't offend me or anything.
-You came in so suddenly. So, what are you doing?
AC-Come on. You have to come with me as cover up.
-Channe.
He pulls me in and locks the door before he comes and sits us together.
AC-I really want to see her.
-About that.
AC-I'll tell you everything, mostly, as long as you keep it secret.
-Worth the sacrifice.
AC-I want to speak with her, know her and she might fall for me.
-You want to conquer her.
AC-Conquer sounds like being her owner. We have to be equal. I don't know how to start.
-Think and give me a thought.
AC-Hmm.
He paces the room and discards a few thoughts before he stops and comes back to sit.
AC-Let's go shopping. I'm starting as a shadow. Flowers, cards and chocolates for my crush.
-A secret admirer. That's really your aim?
AC-Is more romantic that way and more exciting.
-I don't see the exciting anywhere. But you do it however you want.
AC-You're coming with me.
-Obviously. I want to see how can you do it. I'll shower first.
AC-Me too.
I get out to my room and get ready.

Asher Channe POV
After about two hours we get to the store and so we start shopping. We get the normal groceries, some clothes, dresses for mom amongst other things we want until we find what I really want. The cards, chocolates and flowers and so I look.
-This looks good to start.
DJ-Simple enough.
I growl at him making him distract himself with something else. We keep going through the store until I see her arrive and I identify wich is her car.
-Drake, there she is. Look.
DJ-I saw her already. Geez, you're excited.
-Eager but still. Let's go pay, I still got to find out her name.
He rolls his eyes but still we get in line to pay. I look at her as we wait our turn.
Her red hair is tied in a high spiky ponytail except for two strands that fall at each side marking her face like a beautiful portrait. Her light skin contrast her hair well and behind her glasses, the blue eyes contrast with her unique beauty. She's a beautiful mix of traits and colors.
Equinox Solstice POV - Age - 19
I rub my left shoulder and upper arm before I start getting the next customer on the line. I only get work done quickly because I work hard and I like working as much. Not because the boy I like is waiting two customers away. Before I was never interested in love but now, he's handsome and new in town. Is been a few months since they arrived but still, I can't stop thinking about him or fantasizing with him. Nox, focus on your work. Scan the item, bag it, rotate, repeat. Scan, bag and rotate, scan, bag and rotate. Keeo going until the end.
-A, wow, hundred and seven dollars is your total.
?-I got discount.
-Go ahead.
I look slightly away trying to cover a yawn but I think they noticed it.
-I'm sorry. Excuse me.
?-No worries. Exact.
-Your receipt. Have a great day.
?-Thank you.
He goes away with his groceries and the next customer comes. The next one is my crush. Usually, things here are boring and the customers were a mix of a blur and memorable customers. Nothing too crazy happens except for the summer when all teenagers party and make a mess everywhere they go. I went once and I'm not eager to go again. I like calm parties like birthdays, weddings or holidays. Strong things are better by myself.
I groan when I find myself imagining all of my things, doing them with him. Him standing closer as my next customer gets me nervous and excited. He's of course my favorite customer. I could speak with him, know him better but he's always with who I think is his brother. They couldn't look more alike than what they already do. I laugh as I think about it and relax.
I'm nervous again when is his turn and I dispatch him quickly. He seems distracted, anxious and eager to leave as well. They both go away quickly speaking some language that I can't understand. I only know that is not English, French, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese because I studied and learned them through high school. Now I'm learning Greek, Latin and Arabic. I got more to learn but eventually.
