Paul POV

I was supposed to meet my beautiful girlfriend Sally and her son Perseus. To tell the truth l was extremely nervous, l mean he was a teenage boy what if he didn't like me what if..., okay l am rambling it's not as if l care for children much. By the way Sally spoke about him you would think he was a straight A, piano playing student, right? No. Perseus had been expelled from school for several ridiculous things ranging from writing an essay in ancient Greek to bringing a gun to school. The kid was a burden. As soon a Sally was married to me l would dump the kid in an orphanage. I took a deep breath and knocked on their blue apartment door. The door opened to reveal a handsome boy around fourteen years of age, with coal black hair with a grey stripe, tanned skin and startling sea green eyes. He didn't look anything like his mother so he must have got his looks from his l father. His father the jerk l mean what kind of sick man would leave a lovely woman such as when he knew she was pregnant? If l ever saw him l would punch him but by the way Sally spoke of him l knew she still loved him and thought that it wasn't his fault he got 'lost at sea' but a couple of my lessons would soon get rid of that. The coward probably ran away from his responsibility. I was about to carry on cursing his father when Perseus chose to speak at that moment.

"Mom that blowfish guy is here," Percy bellowed. Blowfish, blowfish? You know what its going to be a church funded orphanage for that little f***er.

"It's Blofis dear," consoled Sally in her beautiful soft voice. That's right Sally you tell that spawn of yours.

"Mum," Perseus said in an exasperated tone "You know not only do l relate everything to the sea but l also have good reason." What was his good reason as he just called it?

"Good point," Sally said in a defeated tone. Inwardly l raged. Sally do not be bested by that little miscreant you call your son.

Then she saw me and immediately brightened. "Hello Paul," she sang and granted me a kiss on the cheek but l wanted more so much more

"Hello Sally," l smoothly replied. "Would you like to introduce us," l said inclining my head toward Perseus the spawn.

"Percy meet Paul," she said giving Percy a meaningful look that I couldn't decipher the meaning of.

"Hello," he greeted brusquely.

"Hello," I replied trying to keep my tone polite. "Shall we," I said trying to regain some of my dignity.

We boarded the car and l turned on the engine ready to head to the perfect restaurant. When we arrived the door man took our coats and directed us to our table. I took the liberty of ordering when all of a sudden Percy said "I smell fish."

"Have you got a problem with that," l asked sharply. Just when he was about to answer our dinner arrived, well not cooked. It was lobster and other types of fish that was to be boiled right in front of us still alive. I just love seeing animals suffer. Maybe l can make Sally suffer too. Teach her to be obedient. I looked to see Perseus looking quite ill and in no time at all he ran toward the bin and was sick in repeatedly and showing no sign of stopping. Like l cared. Just then a livid man who looked like an older version of Percy but his sea green eyes were wiser and deeper like the depths of the ocean. His eyes were like the sea in a storm. Raging storms, tsunamis, earthquakes that ever happened could be seen in his eyes. Then l noticed his furious gaze was directed at me and l froze place. I am in deep s**t.
