Venus's Match

I dedicate this chapter to LEPalphreyman because her book was amazing and I wouldn't have the chance to make this spinoff. This story isn't much but I kinda like it so ❤️😂.

Venus's POV

My amber eyes are directed to the large growling orb in front of me. I sulk over to it and I see my son, Cupid and his ... I shudder at the thought of it. Whatever that girl meant to him, I didn't like it. Ever since that thing destroyed me, I haven't been myself. 

I jump at the vibrating device by my thigh, I reach for it and squint to see who it is.

Cal

"Great." I huff, all I want to do is talk to him. He betrayed me, I believed in him. Or so I thought, I glance at the device again. Sadly this world I live in gets a bit lonely, believe it or not. I feel a tear roll down my heated cheek, I thought everything I had was in control. Turns out you can't control everything you love, even your sons.

I pick up the device, "Hello?" I can hear my frail voice, it used to be so majestic. Ever since that girl destroyed me, my voice hasn't been the same since. I can hear Cal on the other end deciding if it was a good idea to even think of calling me. I am just grateful he did.

"Hello, Mom." I hear him reply, it was a quick gesture but even the slightest sentence made my eyes become glassy with tears. I glance at the world I live in, the fire burned out most the landscape with all my anger and possibly envy towards the girl. That girl stole everything I had left, my sons love.

"Why did you decide to call." I ask him, my voice is tainted with poison, I instantly build my walls back up. No need to be sentimental towards that backstabber.

"Wanted to see how you were doing." Cal replies smoothly, cold but smooth. I can almost feel his glare on me, I admit I was wrong but I did miss him. I never even gave him a hug. Or a final goodbye. 

"Fine." I reply, I was cold. 
My walls behind my heart was crumbling, I wanted to feel my son hug me, I wanted to feel his warm essence again.

"Hey mom, I wanted to know if you wanted to come out. I know it's been eons but just wanted to you know see. I guess I kinda missed you." Cal says slowly, I felt my scowl turn into a grin, a stupid grin that plastered my warm face. 

"Thank you.." I whisper, it was filled with warm emotion. Pure honesty.

I feel the world turn and turn, I start to feel dizzy. The trees and fire felt like it was closing in on me. I felt like each breath was my last one, that was until I blacked out.
/--------/

I felt my body start to warm up, I flutter my eyes open to see a man looking at me. I open my eyes a little more, everything is still pretty blurred but I can see his features. Smooth skin, strong jawline, a fuzzed green eyes.

"Miss are you alright?" The stranger asks me, I feel appalled. What could have happened to me that was so amusing? I see his grin.
I want to burst into flames but Cal could be around. I suddenly hear the loud almost horn sound. My body jumps and I stand up quickly to see I am surrounded by cars and in a street?!

"What happened to me? Did you do this to me!" I start to shout, the man looks surprised at my outburst but I deserve to know!

I glance around me and see a older women screaming at me to get off the road but I shoot death glares at them.

"Miss, you passed out. Can we go to like a Café and talk about it?" I look into his pleading eyes, I let my guard down. Fine.

I sigh. "Sure." I gesture for him to lead the way and he quickly pushes me off the road. Everyone goes back to what they were doing. Besides I don't have much else to do before I see Cal.

We quickly enter a small shack and I look at the bright and very tacky sign.

"Love Shack"

Something about that sign is familiar but I can't put my finger on it. I shrug it off and enter, looking at the main while we sit down.

"What's your name?" I quickly ask him, I feel my cheeks heating up while looking at him. I don't even know how I look, should I feel self conscious around this mortal?

"Adam." Adam replies, I watch him jaw move slowly. I see a quick movement at the corner of my eye and see the waiter come up.

I look at the waiter and see him tight jaw and tight features to his face. Familiar, I can't put my finger on it though. Kinda like, Cupid? No, I Shrug it off.

I quickly ask Adam the way to the bathroom and race off towards it. As I enter the quite small restroom I lock the old wooden door and slump slowly to the ground.

What am I doing? Let my guard down for a mere mortal? No, maybe?  Just need to freshen up, yea that's it.

I quickly stand up and look at the foggy mirror and see strands of red hair is out of place and I look down to my outfit. I see I now wearing a pale pink sundress that compliments my curves. I smile, that universe isn't too bad to me today.

I splash cool water on my face and walk out of the bathroom to see Adam looking at the menu. I sit back down quickly and grab a menu.

I see the waiter is back and we order our drinks.

"Two strawberry milkshakes." Adam says to the waiter and he walks away. I look at him surprised.

"How did you know my favorite flavor?" I ask him sternly, he lets out a small chuckle.

"I guessed." Adam laughs and I let out a small giggle. I suppress it soon as I hear myself. What am I doing?!

The waiter comes back with one milkshake, his dark hair falls out place.

"Sorry we only had one cup left, if that's alright I brought two straws." I laugh to myself, he cannot be serious. The boy just looks at me. I glare at him and he walks off.

"Fate is funny." Adam laughs, I smile and grab a straw. How is this even possible I am letting very bridge, wall and door crumble from my heart for this attractive man? No. Yes. No. Maybe?

"We should do this sometime again." I say, Adam looks at me and smirks.

"We should."

I just met him, there is no way I have feelings for this mortal? I feel the heat radiating off his body, I feel a warm blush spread my cheeks and then to my face. I grab menu and cover my face, only for Adam to bring it down.

"I felt like I have known you for eons." Adam replies and gets up and leaves a five dollar bill. I sit there stunned at what happened. I feel a familiar presence.

"Cal look! Mom has a match or shall I call a crush?" Cupid chuckles, I give him an icy grin but then grab both of them to hug them.

"I missed you both." I whisper.

"Mom has a crush!" Cupid sings in a sing song voice. Maybe this will work I mean I am the love goddess after all.

"Be Quiet Cupid." I laugh.
