Heaven On Earth #Wattys2014

the room

Poseidon (Vlad) POV

                I follow everyone up the stairs, I wait for a second and watch Hebe go into her room. After a couple of minutes I work up the courage to go into the room. Then I stop myself and mentally smack myself. I’m Poseidon, a God, I have so many sons and I rule the sea and its creatures. Why on Earth do I need to find courage? So this makes me a lot of confidence, I walk in there a little cocky. Before I can even get into the room all the way, she knows I am there. “Why?” she whispers sitting quietly on the bed. All I could think to say was “huh,” really? “This whole time, you knew my true identity. You know Hercules was my one true love. Why did you kiss me?” she asks. “You said he was your one true love?” I ask back.  “Hey, I asked the question first. You answer mine and I’ll answer yours” she says sounding like a kid. “I fell in love with you.” I answer deciding to simply be honest with her, hoping to avoid as much drama as possible. The look on her face says she didn’t know how to respond. She looked so shocked, surprised even for my answer. “Really?” is all she can reply. Which I can understand, because well I’m not the God that’s most faithful to one woman. I guess on Earth I would be called a player. I haven’t ever just settled down with just one person. “Yes, you’re so beautiful, and I knew you had him and I was selfish. But Hebe, the guy stood there and stayed with my brother as he watched you scream and cry.” At that point she starts crying, and all I want to do is comfort her. I walk over to her and hold her in my arms, letting her sob. “Why? Why are we here? Why can’t things just be like they were before?” she says, and I know exactly how she feels. I can already feel myself getting less powerful every day I’m here, and I’m sure this is part of his plan.

Hebe (Edelia’s) POV

                All this emotion is flowing through me, I feel so week. This isn’t normal, Gods normally this vulnerable. I can’t stop crying thinking of Hercules standing there, looking like a robot giving me no regard. So I just stay here in Poseidon’s arms, part of me hoping Hercules is watching so he feel how I do. Its’ childish, but in my mind is justified at the moment. I finally decide to pull myself together just a little and look up at him. From some impulse I decide to kiss him, and he kisses back. The kiss deepens and we move onto the bed. He takes off his shirt, then this time also removes mine. He moves down to my neck, then to my belly. I don’t even know how, but all of a sudden all I have on is my bra and underwear, and he only has boxers. Then we make love, deeply and passionately. When we were done, all I could think about was how amazing it was, but also begin to regret this. I just want to figure how to get home. Without conflict. What the hell did I just do?

                OK for some reason it was hard for me to write this chapter, not sure why though. Ok so you are soon going to hear some other POV from other characters, and I could possibly be adding new characters. Just looking for a good angle…. SOOOOOOOOOO hope you enjoyed!! I love all of you!!
