Persephone's POV:

"When we make it inside Persephone, please try to have fun." Aphrodite says to me.

I roll my eyes with annoyance. "Yeah. I'll try."

Xavier, who is the bouncer of the club, gives us a bow. "Welcome Lady Aphrodite and Lady Persephone."

" Xavier. How times I told you to just call me Persephone. We're friends." I say a little irritated.

"Sorry Persephone. Force of habit." Xavier gives us a sheepish smile. He unhooks the rope and steps aside. Letting us get in the club.

Once we both stepped inside it was really crowded. So many people dancing on the dance floor, people sitting on the couches drinking and laughing, and just having fun.

People were greeting Aphrodite left and right but didn't mind no attention to me. Most of the time when I'm here, I stay hidden at the back. Since I don't want anybody to discover that I'm the Goddess of  Spring.

Only a few knew who I was; some nymphs, some Demi gods and most of the gods in Olympus.

"Aphrodite!" I hear someone yell loudly. I turn my head and see Hermes running towards us wearing a jester mask. That is something Hermes would definitely wear.

He immediately hugs Aphrodite as she does the same. Just as he breaks his hug, he turns to me and does the same.

"Happy Birthday Hermes!" I say to him.

He breaks our hug a little but keeps one of his arms around me. "I'm glad you made it P. I was worried that you wouldn't show up."

"Well you weren't half wrong there Herm. I had to literally drag her here myself. She wanted to stay home and just paint." Aphrodite rolls her eyes.

I cross my arms. "And what's wrong with that? Like I said, Hermes always throws a party here. I wouldn't miss much by just missing one."

The Goddess of Love shakes her head. "And remember I said you couldn't miss this one because it's his actual birthday."

"Well I'm here aren't I?" I stick out my tongue towards her.

"Real classy Persephone." Aphrodite groans.

Hermes puts his around both of our shoulders. "No fighting girls. Tonight is all about me. Let's go to the V.I.P section. I already ordered us some drinks."

Hermes already started to guide us to the V.I.P area of the club. Just as we sat down nymphs that worked here already started to handed us drinks.

I started to sip my drink slowly and looked around the club. It was the same as usual. Mortals trying to flirt with one another, guys looking absolutely stupid when they're overly the top drunk, people in the dance floor grinding with one another as it looks like they're in heat.
I roll my eyes at the sight and continued to drink.

Hermes and Aphrodite seems like they were in a intense conversation. Definitely don't want to be in it.

I started to feel bored. Looking back a few times at my two friends, they were still talking to each other. I'm sure they wouldn't notice me missing for a couple of hours or so.

As careful as possible, I get up from my seat and slowly walked away from the section, to the back. Secretly heading upstairs to the balcony.

I open the door and immediately leads me to the balcony of the club. This actually my favorite part of the club. I like to practice growing flowers here and it was also peace and quiet. Nobody would bother me. Plus I love the fact that there are twinkling lights hanging from the roof top.
