Persephone's POV:
The rest of the day consisted on asking more questions about each other and just eating our food that he packed.
I asked more questions about the Underworld. How did it look like? How are the people there? He told me the souls praised him and respected him as his ruler. He took care of them.
Hearing many stories about his Underworld made me see the passion in his eyes. The more I listened, the more interested I became.
"Can I ask you a question, Hades?"
"Sure little goddess." He answers me back.
"Is there any way I can visit the Underworld?" I carefully ask him.
"V-Visit the Underworld?" He repeats my question.
"It's just that I want to see the Underworld that you see. I want to meet the souls. See how much they respect you. When you talk about your kingdom there is glimmer in your eyes. That's what I call passion." I say to him.
He seemed concerned and uncertain. "I don't know, Persephone."
I start to seem a little confused. Why is he acting this way? "Why not?"
He sighs. "Because Persephone. It's complicated."
"Whatever reason it is...I'll be fine with it. Please Hades. Let me see the Underworld." I start to beg as I start pout with my lip sticking out.
Hades looks at me and still doesn't say a word. Is he embarrassed of me? Does he not want his people to meet me? I start to give up begging as my face begins to frown, looking away from him.
"Little goddess." Hades says to me as he gently forces me to face me. A sly smile appears on his face. "How can I say no to you."
A huge grin appears on my face as I jump on him and give him a tight hug. Causing us to both fall down to the ground.
We both laugh hysterically. Soon our laughter dies down and we just stare at each other intently. Hades carefully moves my hair away from my face.
"Have I ever told you that you're absolutely breath taking?" Hades says to me mesmerized.
As much as I wanted to answer him, nothing came out from my mouth. He gives me one more smile and slowly helps me sit back up.
I continue to pop some grapes into my mouth and he drinks some wine. "So when you visit the Underworld, will that count as our second date?" He asks me as he swirls the cup of wine.
"That depends." I tease him as I eat more grapes.
"Depends on what?" He chuckles.
"Promise me you will cook me a meal when I see you next time. The whole works." I tell him.
"Okay little goddess. Make sure you come with a huge appetite." He jokes around with me.
"Oh don't worry I will be absolutely famished." I joke back.
We continue to joke around with one another until someone walks towards us.
"What are you doing here?" Hades says annoyed.
"I'm sorry to ruin your little love fest but Persephone has been summoned."
My body freezes. Is it Aphrodite? Or worst, my mother? Do they know the truth?
"W-Who summoned me, Hermes?" I ask a little terrified.
"The one and only Hera." He answers.
"What is she playing at?" I secretly hear Hades say to himself.
