Son Of Apollo

Chapter 13-Where We Are Meant To Be

Avery POV

He's holding my hand!! The guy that I was despising like a day or two ago was holding my hand!! Which in turn made my heart beat think it was the star in a drum line. I really did want this to be a date, but the events of this morning weren't far, and it wasn't the first time he did that according to Apollo.

Wait...What the hell am I talking about????!!!!!!!! Avery, this dude sexually harassed you!

But I sorta liked it...

He made you wear a maid outfit!

But I can't deny that I looked good in it...

He made your life these past few days that you almost considered death!!!!

But that was really an overreaction combined with a slight panic attack...

He's a promiscuous man!

I can't argue with that one, except for the fact that he at least knows what to do...

You're hopeless.

Are you just coming to that conclusion? Sheesh. Why can't this be like Jathos and Ambrosia's story? Jathos saved Ambrosia from the slavery world and now he loves and dotes on him, but Ambrosia's childhood was so messed up that he doesn't know what to do. That's way simpler than what I have right now.

Let's just look at the pros and cons of this man and if we have a relationship with him.

PROS

-He's handsome.

-I can finally have a boyfriend.

-Cares for me, at least that's what I got from the incident.

-Is interested in me.

CONS

-He's been with a lot of people.

-He makes me feel like I'm going to have a heart attack.

-I can't do much but blush around him.

-Could just be an evil plot.

-Things are done his way no matter what.

Hmmm...it's a tough decision right now. I looked beside me, inspecting the way his face was morphed into a calm and peaceful sculpture. His face would usually have a smirk or an unreadable expression on it, but it doesn't seem like it this time.

But wait a minute...isn't this going too fast? I had apparently stopped walking because Jaylon was now looking at me with a questioning look on his face. What am I thinking?

He didn't ask me to be his boyfriend, he just asked me if I wanted this to become a date and I said yes. Doesn't mean he wants more from me. What if he just asked that because I asked? What if he was pitying me?

"Are you ok? You seem tense; come on, I know what will loosen you up." We walked into the temple, apparently, we had already arrived, but don't ask me how long ago that was because I wouldn't be able to tell you.

We kept passing halls and maids until we got to a part of the temple in the backyard. The backyard was like a forest and full of fauna and flowers, especially Hyacinths, in one part of it there was a small path that leads to a secluded area, the fauna around it hiding it from view. "Is the bath ready?"

Jathos was asking a maid that didn't have the maid outfit all of the others had, she had gardening clothes with rubber boots. "Yes, m'lord. I cleaned them this morning too so it should be even better." He nodded and told her not to let anyone come in.
