(Aphrodite POV)
I was annoyed, and I was bored out of my mind! I was annoyed, because that bastard, Ares, tried to rape me again, but thankfully my Mist gave him what he wanted, while I stayed away from the blasted pig. I was bored, because I now had nothing to do! I guess I'll watch the mortals, and see what they're up to. I summoned my mist, and flipped through people to watch, until I came across a rather disheartening scene playing out. A very handsome, feral, wolf-like man, maybe early twenties, spiky white hair, piercing red eyes, rather muscular with black tribal tattoos from his right eye to, I'm guessing his feet, just walked into his girlfriend's apartment to pick her up for their anniversary, only to find her screwing another man. The man said rather calmly to the two, "Glad to see you, and your brother so close, Delilah. I should've known. You never loved me. You're just like the rest.". The woman said quickly, "Lynx, it's not what it looks like, I promise! Just let me explain!". The now named Lynx said in a voice so cold I swear he could freeze ice, "That's what they all say. I hope you two have a happy relationship.". He grabbed what I could only guess was a spare key, from the key hook by the door, and left the building looking so broken. I heard him say brokenly, "Practically give her all my time, and attention only to find her fucking her supposed brother on our anniversary. I'm done with it all. I'm done with that stupid, worthless feeling called 'love'. All it's ever done for me is break my heart, and chip away at my will to live. Who would ever love someone like me anyway? I don't need love, and I never should've followed my damn heart. Oh lucky fucking me! I hope whatever deity watching me is having a damn good laugh right now. Seems to be the only thing I can do now. Provide entertainment for those blasted deities wherever the hell they are. And to think I was going to propose to that liar tonight.". I felt my heart clench, when I heard him practically give up on love. I don't know if he knew he was being watched, but it damn sure seemed like it. I watched him as he went to his rather nice apartment room on the top floor. He didn't even bother to turn the lights on, he just closed, and locked his door, before he just plopped down on the couch. My heart shattered when I heard him say, "Love. Fucking bullshit.". I don't know why, but something about him...called to me. I wanted to heal his heart, to prove him wrong about love, and to give him someone to love. Why? I don't know anything about this man, and yet I'm so interested in him. I'll keep my eye on you, Lynx. You better believe it handsome!
(2 weeks later)
I can't take it anymore! I have to get to know Lynx! His depression has barely gotten better, but he's slowly making progress thanks to his friends, Nick, and his girlfriend, Lisa. He's eating again. That's the progress they made with Lynx. I wanted to meet him, to speak with him, to learn about him. I know I have my work cut out for me, but damnit I'm still a woman, and I still dream! However I'll make this dream a reality. Starting now, since Lynx is going grocery shopping for the first time in two weeks, and I wasn't going to waste my chance!
(Lynx POV)
I sighed as I made it to my local grocery store. I was out, and Nick, and Lisa had work today. I needed quite a few things, so this would take a while. About twelve minutes later, I was looking for the last thing on my list, white wine. I found it, and luckily it was the last bottle they had. I went to grab it, but apparently someone else was looking for it too, and our hands touched. I looked to my left, and found a drop dead gorgeous red haired woman looking at me. She stood a solid 5'9 with shoulder length silky rust red hair, beautiful sapphire blue eyes, creamy, unblemished skin, and a body even some goddesses I know would kill for. She wore a hot pink shortsleeved shirt, some skinny jeans, and a pair of black high heels. She blushed, and said nervously with an angelic voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were going to reach for it too. You can have it.". I shook my head, and said, "Nah, you take it. I can make do without it.". She said quickly, "No please, I insist! You look like you need it more than I do! Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I was implying something!". I chuckled, and said, "It's fine, but please, you take it. I can make dinner without it.". She asked curiously, "If you don't mind me asking, what were you going to make?". I said, "Fettuccine, and mushrooms in white wine, and cream sauce.".
The woman said in awe, "That sounds so delicious! I can't cook to save my life!". I chuckled, and the woman said with a cute pout, "It's not funny!". I said, trying to hold back my chuckle, "You're right, it's not. I'm sorry, but I find it hard to believe that you can't cook.". She said nervously, "I've almost burned my house down every time I've tried to cook.". I playfully cringed, and said, "That is pretty bad.". She pouted again, and I chuckled. She said, "Seriously though, you take it. I'm sure your dinner will taste just as amazing with it rather than without it.". I sighed, and said, "Alright then.". I then said, "I'd better get going now. I wouldn't want to keep you away from whatever you have planned. Enjoy the rest of your day.". She said with a beautiful smile, "You too! I hope I'll see you around some time!". I nodded, and headed to the check out with a small fanged smirk as I thought, 'So a Goddess has decided to meet me huh? Well let's see where this goes. Why the hell was my heart beating so damn fast while I was talking to her? Strange.'.
