"What do you think you're doing here Hades?" Vulcan sneered at him, looking at him with a annoyed look.

"Having a cup of coffee, life is boring, makes me fall asleep, you know?" Hades chuckled, looking up at Hephaestus with a daring expression, waiting for him to defy him. Hades and Zeus had more power than most Gods and Goddesses. So, even though Hephaestus– or any Gods or Goddesses for that matter– would not admit to it, but they could not talk back to them.

"Nike!" I jumped at my name being spoken by Hades, "why don't  you sit beside me love?" He says, as he moves to his right to give me space. I laughed akwardly and sat beside him, our thighs pressed up against each other. Hephaestus sat in the opposite couch of us without invitation.

"So, Hades, what have you been up to lately?" I ask, drumming my fingers on the table with no specific rythem. "Nothing much, love. What about you?" He asked, giving me his usual smirk. I shrugged and said nothing, it is extremely akward around Hades and Hephaestus, the boys always always had something pretty useless to argue over, and even when I told them to shut the hell up, they would keep giving each other stink eyes. But I guess it's sufferable, just as long as–

"Nike! Hephaestus!" I heard a familiar voice yell from across our table. We all turn around to see the culprit, even though I knew, I hope my mind was playing tricks on me. But sadly, it was not, for I see Posieden, striding towards out table, with a tray in hand, containing cokes and pizzas. The pizzas looked of different flavours.

"When did you guys get here?" He asked enthusiastically, looking at me.

"A-ah! We came just a few minutes before you arrived." I said, fiddling with my clothes. He smiled at me cheekily and handed me a the black coke, which I think the mortals called Coca Cola. I thanked him, and swiftly took a sip with a white rainbow striped with unicorns straw. Suddenly I coughed up because of the fizziness.

"Careful." Hephaestus winked. I smiled at him, "Thanks for the warning." I replied sarcastically, rolling my eyes. A few laughs went around the table. Posieden has taken his seat next to Hephaestus, giving Hades his drink. Now that I remember it, for the past 1 week they have been paying for my food and travel expenses. How foolish of me that I didn't even realized.

"Hey, I shall buy you your drink Posieden, as well as yours Hephaestus!" I say, calling over a waiter. Posieden tried to convince me again that there was no need, but I insisted. As for Hephaestus, he just smirked–I bet he loves the idea of a free drink.

A waiter arrived, asking me what I would like to order. She had a waiter's uniform, and had bright red skin, with dim black beetle eyes. She had two black with a hint of red on the end, small horns, sprouting from her forehead. I started at her for a while without knowing that I was staring at her for long, when she asked for my order again, annoyance laced her tone. "Ah, He'll have the" I say, pointing over to Posieden, "the same thing I am having" I finish lamely. She nodded,looked over to Hades, said "God of the Underworld.", nodded and left.

"Wait, she knows you?" I ask surprised.

"Of course." He answered, "Did you really think she was from the above? She is one of mine–"

"I appreciate your thought of buying me the drink," said Posieden, smiling genuinely at me. "But–" he said, leaning over and took my straw in between his lips, taking a big sip and gulping it slowly. "I much rather have yours." He said, gulping the remaining. At this point, I was as red as a clown's nose, so I excused myself from the table and went to the ladies room. Before I left, I heard Hephaestus say ''You dumbass, you scared her away." And a faint slapping sound. Probably, smacked the back of Posieden's head. 

While I was in the washroom, I washed my face and dabbed a little makeup on my face. I sighed.What the hell am I supposed to do with those idiots? 

"Nike? Nike! Oh my God, how are you?" I hear Aphrodite, the goddess of Beauty, say, appearing out of nowhere and hugging me tightly. "Aphrodite?" I question surprised. "Of course darling!" She replied, still choking me with her bear hug.

"Aphrodite... I can't breath!"

"Oh, I'm so sorry dearie!" She said, letting me go. "It's just that it's been so long since I saw you!"

I smiled at her, taking her appearance in. It hasn't been long since I saw her, only a month ago, but she still looked as beautiful as ever with her high cheek bones, curves any girl would kill for and as tall as a model. Her glowing blue eyes seem to pop when she has her eye liner on, and her beautiful waist-high shining red straight hair falling right below her hip.

"How have you been darling?" She asks, snapping me out of my trance. "I've been good, how have you been?" I ask back. In all honesty, I didn't like speaking with Aphrodite, she only makes me feel much more concious about my figure without even knowingly it. I know it's not her fault but still I have been avoiding her lately. It was my bad luck that she was in the same restaurant as me in the same time.

"I've been fine darling. Oh! Eros and some poor mortal is out right now, do you want to meet them?" She asked happily, not really waiting for my reply, she grabbed my hand and started to drag me out of the ladies washroom. I had to dig my heels into the tiles for her to stop. "Um, I actually can't right now, my friends are waiting for me outside. Maybe later?" I ask.

Why I ever even bothered about telling her about my company, I have no idea. But that was how me, Eros and his slut, and Aphrodite ended up sitting with in an uncomfortably tiny booth. We ended up bringing extra chairs, just so Eros and his slut could sit.

Somebody kill me....

"Ah, Eros, won't you introduce us to your new girlfriend?" Hephaestus said sarcastically, rolling his eyes as they continued to eat each other's face out as she sat on his lap, or it seemed that way. He didn't answer of course, so Hades answered for him. "That's not his girlfriend, just some random hoe he picked up from street."

The girl stopped kissing Eros, and looked over at Hades. "And I'll be happy to be yours too." She said seductively, licking her lips, eye fucking him  and touching his arm sensually. I don't know why, but that comment made my blood boil. She's even admitting to it, does she have no shame?

"Keep your demon hands to yourself Barbie, ain't no one going to touch your disgusting ass." I spat, rolling my eyes as well. She glared at me before looking over at Eros and pouted at him, "Baby, will you let her talk to me like that?"

Before he can say anything, I reply with, "Hello, I'm the Goddess of Victory, I can fuck up your relationship anyway I want so why not just shut the fuck up and keep eating his face, he's starting to get bored." I say, gritting my teeth and pointed my face at him, and indeed he was bored. She was going to say something else when Aphrodite cut her, "So, what would you all like to have?" She asked, desperately trying to change the subject even though it was clear that we have just eaten. We all shrugged, not saying a word. The disgusting kissing noises were back, and I glanced to see Eros and Barbie eating each other's face again. "Thank you guys for eating with me, and Aphrodite, I hope you are well, but I have to go." I say through pursed lips, packing my things and leaving the restaurant as they said their farewells to me.

I couldn't stop thinking about the way that slut touched Hades, fucking all the  boys with her eyes, made my blood boil. It made me extremely annoyed, which I wish I wasn't .
