Ancient love (FINISHED)

5. Stolen heart, bought heart

PLATO POV
It's been a few days since Socrates came to eat with us. It makes me very happy to see that he and Aristotle are starting to like each other. Socrates has visited us almost every day since that day and it has been lots of fun hanging out with him.
Still, I can't get over the feeling of jealousy that's growing in the pit of my stomach. The two of them just seem to be so fond of each other that they don't really notice me anymore. Also, they keep kissing each other and Aristotle is my boyfriend! Ugh!
Of course it's kind of my fault, I gave them the special mushroom bread that started it all. But I just wanted for them to get along! I never meant to make them fall for each other. I sigh, what have I done? There must be some way to reverse this right? I sigh again when I hear noises coming from the other bedroom, gross!

I step out of my bed and walk towards my closet. Time to pick an outfit. I decide to go with blue because I kinda got the blues. I look through the window and notice that it's an absolutely wonderful day so I decide to go for a walk.
Before I leave the house I write a note for the two idiots saying: 'I'm going for a walk, good luck with making breakfast!' I read it once more and nod in approval. Just enough saltiness but also kind of nice so they'll know not to go look for me.

Once I'm in the street the good weather gives me some of my usual happiness again and I skip towards the centre of Athens.
Suddenly I see the Acropolis and an idea pops up in my mind. I grin and start skipping towards the temple that was placed upon the hill a long time ago. I'm going to ask Athena for help! The beloved goddess probably knows what I should do!

Because you can't just talk to a goddess without a sacrifice I make a quick stop at the market to buy a pig's heart. I walk between the stalls until I get to the butcher.
'Gooooooood morning! Do you perhaps have a pig's heart that I can buy?' I ask him
'Good morning to you too boy, of course I do. Do you want it in a bag? That will be ten coins extra though because we have to think about the environment so plastic bags will be more expensive!' (hehe oops, I care about the environment though! Don't throw trash on the streets that's what trash cans, like me, are for!)
'That won't be a problem for me, how much do I owe you?'
'The heart plus the bag will be... Five silver and ten bronze coins!' He answers while smiling. I look in my purse and grab the coins I need.
'There you go!' I say happily. He thanks me and gives me my bag with the heart.

I smile at the kind man and skip away. Now all I've got to do is give Athena the heart and ask her for help. I can do that!
I arrive at the temple and I'm slightly out of breath because of all the skipping I've done. I catch my breath and go inside.
I look around me and gasp at all the beautiful things is see. I'm kind of worried now that my heart won't be good enough, the goddess has so much gold and jewels already so why would she need this heart? I'm about to give up when I hear a voice whisper.
'Come closer...'
I look around me trying to find the source of the voice. I shrug and walk towards the huge statue of Athena, preparing myself for what's about to come. Though, no one could've prepared me for what I was about to face.

Yeah sorry, this chapter wasn't really funny huh? I'm just trying to get the storyline to make sense, now that I finally came up with one. I'll try to make the next chapter funnier, I promise. :) xx
