Maidenhood

Date 1: Apollo

"I'm in." And he signed it.

-0-

When Apollo signed the contract, it turned gold and unbreakable.

The good part of the contract is that future Oracles could add some stipulations to mine, like if Apollo in a future allowed us to have kids, how many kids would it be appropriate and stuff (I'm making up the last part, as there's no way Apollo would let us have kids with someone, no matter how far or close in the future are we).

After Apollo signed it, I nodded and told him I'd go change for our 'date' and he'd have to wait and ask Chiron for permission for me to leave. Though a formality, I wanted him to experience what it was to be a demigod and date like a mortal. He, of course, went away huffing and complaining that 'I couldn't do that to the God of the Sun', but I cared little about the titles right now.

Will came to me to my cave and started to help me. We finally settled in a breezy summer dress that wasn't that flashy, but it could be used for a hang out, as if saying 'I'm not into you, but I want to give it a shot anyway'. I didn't even put make-up on, as I didn't want Apollo to get the wrong impression of me, that I produce just for him.

He couldn't be more wrong about that.

Will was like my chaperone, but he knew that he couldn't get out of Camp without permission, so I was alone in the city today. When we arrived to Big House, Apollo had lost the top hat and three-piece suit, which I was grateful for it, but he wasn't the only one waiting for me. Well, I don't think they were waiting for me, more like they just happened to be around and coincided there.

However, by Apollo's smile, they hadn't coincided.

"Mind if you keep an eye on them?" I whispered to Will, once I saw who was there. "I have the feeling your Dad is not following the rules completely..." Will nodded and, putting on a fake smile, he hugged me and talked louder.

"Take care of yourself and, if you need any help, just IM me, alright...?" I smiled at his concern and nodded. Apollo used that moment to butt in and brag.

"She's going in a date with me, son. Like I'd let something happen to her..." The small crowd of 'passers-by' gasped after hearing those words and I could swear I saw some of them blushing or even paling. I tried not to pay attention to them and focused my frown to Apollo, who was smug about it.

"Try not to bring her back pregnant." Will's comeback made me chuckle, as it was the perfect burn for Apollo, who looked serious and a little pale. I smirked and kissed Will's cheek. "Have fun..."

"I will, Will." I told him, before sharing a glance at Apollo. "Well, coming or not?" I wondered to him, walking to the Camp's borders not even waiting for him. I heard him catching up with me and I feared this was going to be one of those meetings I'd have to be tiptoeing in case I did something inappropriate.

~oOo~

The date started well, but went downhill pretty quickly.

But, to be honest, I wouldn't expect anything less from a date with the teenager god of many many things!

He took me into a restaurant that was really expensive, a restaurant that not even my own father had walked into, as the rumor said you'd have to be in waiting list for a year! For eating in a restaurant? It was insane! Anyway, he walked us in there and chose a table of two by the window. I hadn't even opened my menu when he started to flirt with the waiter.

The waiter.

It was a bit shocking that he was showing his male-likeness now, but I shrugged it off, reading the menu. By the time I had decided I wanted some ravioli to eat, he knew the waiter's entire life and I could swear I heard him tell him that they'd see each other later today. Thankfully, the waiter had brought us some water, so I could drown my complains in it.

I have to give Apollo a B+ for the effort in trying to have his attention completely in me, asking me questions and stuff. But, it sounded like a monologue and not a conversation, as he didn't share anything back. I ate my food in silence, which reminded me a night with my parents. Apollo didn't even finish his food, as he had excused himself to 'go to the bathroom'. No one is in the bathroom for an hour.

I took a deep breath and, doing something completely out of character for me, I ordered some whiskey. The female bartender gave me a look, but I told her to put it on the tab of my 'date'. I drank only two glasses and I was completely wasted. Like, really bad. I had never got drunk in my life before! And, since Apollo hadn't returned yet, I left the restaurant, but the maître was kind enough to get me a taxi.

I told the driver, a elderly man with a stern look, or probably that was because of my drunk state, took me back to Camp, while I giggled and told him all things I knew from Apollo, like that I knew he was in the bathroom with a male waiter and that he could be with multiple woman at the time. By the time he dropped me off, I was asking myself out loud how could I ever decided to go out with him.

I don't remember crossing the border or even seen Peleus. I had my eyes clouded by tears and I was ready to take a nap.

The last thing I remember was a mop of blonde hair catching me before I hit the floor.
