Ch. 8 Part 1 Charlotte’s POV

               I had tripped on a curb and almost went splat into oncoming traffic but Apollo appeared out of nowhere to catch me. I was on a subway and missed my stop and had to get off at a very disgusting stop where no one was, as a dunk man got rough with me, Hephaestus appeared and taught him otherwise. I was at the beach climbing rocks with Annie and Bianca, I had tripped and almost fell over, Hermes caught me from falling into the ocean and on top of the rocks. I was driving home late at night and started to fall asleep at the wheel Morpheus appeared to shake me from my dreams and prevented me from an ill-fated experience with a tree.

               All this had occurred and more, but every time that me coming to a decisive end was unavoidable, I had a divine intervention, I was never very lucky but I must of struck gold at one point to become so unlucky.

               The girls had found someone to watch them during the week and a half that Kyle was going to be here. They found three very eager someone’s actually. None other than Mary, Casey, and Maggie, the three of them were going to take care of the girls and it was making me nervous. Kyle, with the insistence of all five girls (and Ryan) was coming a day early flying into JFK so I borrowed Aphrodite’s red convertible beamer and drove to the airport to pick him up. Traffic was as usual impatient and aggressive. I managed to get there just as he called.

“Hey handsome.” I was rewarded with a chuckle.

               “Hello gorgeous. Just wanted to let you know that I arrived.” He said his smooth voice still clear through the phone.

“Alright, well I just arrived at the airport. I’m using Aphrodite’s car. It’s a bright red beamer and I have the hood down since it’s a nice day.” I said and there was a gruff sound from him, “You alright Babe?”

               “Yeah, I just had cramped conditions.” He said and I laughed.

“Sucker.”

               “Oh hush. I see you now.” He said and I turned my head around in all directions looking for him.

“What? Where are you?” I asked my eyes glancing over all the people.

               “I’m here.” He said right beside me and I turned my head and my lips ran into his. He had been standing beside the driver’s side door his head bent at the perfect angle so he knew he would kiss me when I turned to see him. I smiled returning the soft kiss. I pulled back to look up at him his eyes a dark blue.

“Hi there.” I said and he smiled at me.

               “Pop the trunk Love.” he called out and I did turning over my shoulder to see that he was putting his single suitcase into the trunk. He had landed in terminal 1 which I thought was the worst terminal to land in because once you get outside, there’s a parking garage near bye so there are pedestrian stops. I took the keys out of the car tucking them in my pocket as I went to stand beside Kyle trying to manage the suitcase into the trunk. Aphrodite had a ton of shit in the back. I helped him move things aside to fit his bag into it. Once that was complete I stepped back and let him finish putting the bag inside. Kyle smiled at me and I smiled back.

“Vamanos!” I said going towards the driver’s side again. I checked for traffic and saw a big white passenger van coming up so I leaned against the car so it wouldn’t have to worry about hitting the car door. I looked back at Kyle who was comfortable in his seat and looking at me expectantly.

               “What happened to ‘vamanos’?” he asked me and I laughed.

“Just hold your horses, I’ll be a sec, I’m just waiting for this van to pass.” I said and it was passing right by me, “Okay there.” I said turning to face the car.
