The Sun's Desire [HIATUS] EDITING

Chapter 11: Growing Feelings

Apollo caught Melinoe's hand just in time. Phew! I patted Apollo's back "Thanks..." I mumbled.

"You dare to talk down to him! He is a god...an olympian" Melinoe spouted those words as if I need to tremble in fear.

"I already know how he is... no need to shout" My gosh! She needs to chill...

"How dare you to talk down on me!"

"Enough!" Apollo shouted.

"Melinoe... Stop this instant, your jealousy knows no bounds..."

"Apollo... I'm sorry"

"Stop it, you already know why I refuse you..." Apollo looked at me "Now, you are trying to harm an innocent mortal..."

Melinoe low down, she lifted her eyes at me and I stuck my tongue out. Her eyes widen with anger, Oh! I'm loving to see how irritated she is...

"...and you!" Apollo turned to me "You need a punishment!"

"What? Why me?" I pointed at Melinoe "She started it!"

"No excuses!" Apollo looked at me furiously.

What makes him so angry? oh! Did I kick that hard?

Apollo pulled me with him as he walked away from Melinoe. "Apollo!" Melinoe cried out.

"Is it true? You're going to marry her?"

"Yes..." Apollo answered without looking back.

I saw Melinoe bend down and cry as Apollo pulled me out of the forest. What a poor girl... She fell for this playboy!

Hang on! Where is he taking me? I pulled my hand away from him but he has an iron grip! "Let me go!"

"Stop struggling..."

"Where are you taking me?"

"To my palace..." He winked at me.

"Stop..." I kept on punching his hand but he won't budge then suddenly he stopped.

Thank goodness! "Hey!" I shouted at him.

He bends over and lifted me up so suddenly. I felt like a sack dangling on his shoulders! "Put me down!"

"Not a chance..." he said as he smacks my butt!

"What are you doing?!" I flapped my legs but he held them tight with his arm.

"You need to stay still..."

After a few minutes of dangling on his shoulder upside-down, Apollo put me down. I slapped him across the chest and tried to run away as I was about to turn away I saw the most magnificent Palace I have ever seen. The gates were made of white marble with blue and green tiles on the wall forming a montage.

I touched the blue tile "It's so beautiful..." I whispered.

"This is my palace..." Apollo whispered, "Come on..." he tilted his head and gave me a breathtaking smile. heart stop it!

I followed Apollo into marble steps and inside his Palace. The Palace is fashioned in ancient greek were the floors are made of entirely of blue tiles and in the middle of the hall is a big fountain. Several plants were placed on each pillar and there is a massive carpet beneath the tables and chairs.

It was so beautiful So this is how the greeks live...well, the wealthy part...

"This Palace is not visible to a mortal..." He approached me slowly "...because you can see it that means you are not  mortal... you are demi-god"
