Are you happy now?
She's not like other girls
She could have conquered the world
She was sitting down at the food court when he saw her. He was bored but his 'brother' wanted to go to the mortal world and pick up some chicks. He could be anywhere. He could be killing his enemies, he could be wooing his mistress, or he could be fighting some mythical beast. But no his 'brother' Adam, at the moment, wanted to find some innocent girl to have his way with. She was wearing grey skinny jeans, a tight purple sweater, black converses, a black beanie and a silver necklace that had a ring on it. She was eating Japanese noodles with sweet and sour chicken. He could feel the desire rushing up his body. Her long wavy golden brown hair was down and caught the light in such a way that it made her hair look like locks of gold running down her back. She had a book open and was reading intently and ignored the whole world.
"Hey Ares, which one do you think would look good in my golden chariot?" Adam asked and Ares looked at him and shrugged.
"The one with the blonde hair," Ares said and Adam sighed and ran a hand through his bronze hair. As you already guessed Ares is the god of war. Adam is Apollo but choose a human name to find a human girl. Why do gods do these things? Well they secretly yearn to enjoy life as the humans do. They do not change physically.
"By the Gods Ares! What is with you? Are you angry at Aphrodite at the moment? Is she not giving you what you want?" Adam asked and Ares growled at him.
"Adam if you wish to keep your balls I would suggest that you do not talk to me like that," Ares growled and Adam shrugged.
"Whatever brother, hmmm I think that one with the light brown hair. She looks like a tough nut to crack," Adam said and pointed to the one girl that Ares was gazing at. Ares felt this pulling in his chest and let out a low growl.
"Nooo…" he hissed and Adam looked at Ares with an eyebrow raised.
"Oh you want that one? Well how about a wager? I bet that I can get the girl to come with me. If not then I will write a new song of your amazingness. But if I win then I get one of your war dogs," Adam said and Ares shook his head.
"No bet," Ares whispered and Adam smiled and started to walk over to the girl.
"Adam get back here or I will fucking rip you apart. Do not touch her. FINE WE HAVE BET!" Ares hissed and Adam walked back to Ares.
"Now you are talking. So do I go first?" Adam asked and Ares grumbled and leaned against the wall. Adam left and Ares was forced to watch his 'brother' approach the girl he wanted. The girl looked up as Adam took the seat across from him. The girl looked angry and annoyed. Adam tried his charm but the girl snorted and tried to dismiss Adam. Then a different girl with black hair walked up to Ares. She had on a too tight tank top, ripped jeans that showed too much skin and a tiny zip up hoodie.
"Heyy…you look like you need some company," she said in a whiny voice to Ares ears. He barely glanced at her and she ran a hand up his arm.
"Sorry but I do not like your type," Ares said dismissively. The girl pouted but took the hint and walked away as Adam walked back. He looked pissed and punched the wall next to Ares.
"That girl is horrible. She is merciless! Damn Ares I think you met your match," Adam said and Ares smirked.
"She cannot suppress how she will feel for me. This will be a fun battle," Ares said and Adam shook his head and grinned.
"Do you think of everything in some sort of military reference," Adam asked but Ares was already walking over to the girl. She finished her noodles and was reading her book. She had some sauce on her fingers and was slowly sucking it off. Ares resisted the urge to just take her in that public place. He wouldn't be embarrassed Aphrodite and him did worse things in public. But I guess being gods and having the ability to erase people's memories helped. Ares did not realize he was standing in front of her until she cleared her throat.
"Ahem…is there something you need?" she asked in a clear smooth voice. Ares looked down and was stuck in her bright blue eyes. He mentally shook his head.
"May I sit?" he asked and she motioned to the seat.
"At least you asked unlike your friend back there. I see he found an easy girl to take home to mommy," she said looking over Ares shoulder. Ares looked behind him and sure enough Adam was making out with the girl with black hair that had approached Ares just moments before.
"I am Are…Reese Air," Ares said and held out his hand. He just found a new name he might keep for a while.
"Nice James Bond thing," She said with a smile. And Ares saw her full light pink lips pull over her white teeth.
"So who are you?" he asked and the girl put her book down and gave Reese her full attention.
"I am Mackenzie Lopper, but call me Kenzie," she said and took his hand and shook it. Reese felt a shock go through his body.
"So how old are you?" Reese asked and Kenzie rolled her eyes.
"I didn't know you would be interrogating me, if I let you sit down," she said with a laugh and Reese smirked.
"Sorry," he said shortly and the girl studied him for a bit.
"I am twenty-two. I just turned twenty-two last week," Kenzie said and Reese nodded.
"I am sorry if this is sudden but do you want to go on a date with me?" Reese asked and stared her straight in her eyes. She didn't flinch but just stared back. There was a steel wall blocking her thoughts from Reese.
"Did you and your friend Adam have a bet or something because I swear that, that would be some sort of sick joke," she said harshly and Reese flinched at the harsh melody.
"No…nothing of the sort, I am sorry if you feel that way," he said lying quickly and Kenzie stared at him for a moment.
"I am just suspicious because he left and then you came right over," she said and Reese wrung his hands.
"So no date?" he asked cutting to the point. Kenzie grinned and leaned forward.
"How about a no…since you lied…mkay?" she asked and Reese looked shocked. His hand was in a fist and glared at the table.
"I need to leave. Bye Reese. It was seriously nice talking to you until you lied," she said and walked away leaving her tray on the table and her book. Reese took her book and tray. He put the tray away and kept her book. It was called 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. Reese looked through the book and his eyes went wide as he read some of the pages. Either she was the submissive type or the dominate type because this book was hot and heavy. She must be dominate because she doesn't seem like a submissive type. He put the book in his back pocket and cleared his throat as Adam and the girl started to get a little too frisky.
"Adam I am heading home," Reese said and Adam pried himself from the girl and Reese saw a little bit of sunlight in her eyes. He charmed her. Rees should have known, Adam couldn't have gotten a girl that fast.
"Yeah yeah…quick way or my c…car?" Adam asked and Reese turned his finger in a circle. Adam pouted and the girl ran her hand through Adam's hair.
"Take your car but it won't be my fault if you are late to the family meeting," Reese said and walked in the bathroom and then disappeared. Adam took the girl to his golden Camaro and drove fast and then was at Mount Olympus.
"Brother! Father said no humans here," shouted a young girl with long dark brown curly hair and hazel eyes. Reese was walking down with her with a smirk on his face. Adam looked pissed and looked at the girl.
"Hey…uh? Kristy? Yeah okay so we made out and had sex it was amazing and I will call you later, bye!" Adam said and the girl was gone in a puff of shimmery gold powder.
"By the Gods Apollo!" the girl hissed and Adam glared at Reese.
"Oh so we are using our Greek names? Then you need to grow up Artemis!" Apollo said and got out of his car. Artemis growled and stomped up the stairs as a silver mist surrounded her and she was clothed in a Greek toga. Ares snapped his fingers and a burst of fire burned his clothes and he was dressed in a toga. Apollo did the same but he was surrounded by a burst of sunlight and was dress in a similar toga like Ares. They walked up the steps and to the tall Greek building where twelve thrones were placed in a half circle. Ares sat in a chair next to Hermes and Hera. Zeus was sitting down impatiently tapping the floor with his foot. Once everyone was seated a loud thunder clap sounded and everyone was silent. Poseidon was grinning like a fool and Zeus was thinking thoughtfully.
"Any orders of business?" Zeus called out and Hera held out her chin.
"I believe that Ares has found a human he wishes to take," she said and Ares coughed and almost fell out of his throne. He glared at his mother. Everyone sighed and rolled their eyes.
"How is this different? He goes after a lot of human girls," Aphrodite said and placed her hands daintily on her knees.
"I saw that this one is special. She refused both Apollo and Ares when they first approached her. She has a strong will this one," Hera said looking at Ares as he looked down. Poseidon started laughing and Zeus shot him a look and looked back at Ares.
"What do you think about this, Son?" Zeus asked and Ares sat up straighter he would not let anybody make him embarrassed of anything.
"What is there to think about?" Ares retorted and Hermes snorted and a few others chuckled.
"Would you like to have access to this girl?" Zeus asked tightly and Hermes started to laugh.
"WHO WOULDN'T? Have you seen this girl? She is a super model that works at a coffee shop!" Hermes shouted and Apollo nodded his head. Ares could feel a bubble building in his chest.
"That girl is no super model; she has a fear of being the center of attention. She surrounds herself with barb wire to keep others away. A super model enjoys being the center of attention. That human isn't even pretty," Aphrodite hissed and Hermes rolled his eyes.
"I think you are just jealous that Ares likes someone other than you," Hermes said and Hephaestus tapped his chair and Hermes shot him a look of apologies.
"I know that Ares might chase this girl but he will get bored and will come running back to me," Aphrodite said and Ares glared at Aphrodite. The bubble was getting tighter and then Apollo had to open his big mouth.
"I would love to have that girl in my bed for a night or two. I bet she is a wild one!" Apollo said and Ares let out a mighty roar.
"YOU WILL NOT TALK OF HER THAT WAY!" he yelled out and the hall got quiet. Ares was standing up and breathing heavily.
"Ares please sit down Son," Hera said gently. Ares sat down slowly shooting glares at everyone who looked at him.
"Shall we vote on this?" Zeus asked and Poseidon rolled his eyes.
"What are we voting on brother?" he asked and Ares glared at Zeus quietly.
"Whether Ares should be allowed to chase this mortal," Zeus said and Hera lifted her chin and was about to speak when Apollo spoke.
"How about we put higher stakes to this…this bet?" Apollo said slyly and everyone waited for him to continue.
"I say we make her a Goddess and Ares wife if she passes a few tests…and if she doesn't pass then she will die and Ares will be alone for the rest of time. For those who win the bet can choose something that they wish to have from the ones who have lost. How about that?" he asked and several heads nodded while Aphrodite sat there fuming.
"We do not give out immortality lightly and these tests will be hard…do you think that this human can deal with them?" Zeus asked Ares and everyone waited for Ares to answer. He nodded tightly and Hera grinned and clapped her hands.
"All in favor for this to go through raise their hand," Zeus bellowed and Hera, Hephaestus, Athena, Artemis, Poseidon, Demeter, Ares, and Dionysus raised their hand. Leaving Zeus, Hermes, Aphrodite, and Apollo without raising their hand.
"It shall be pass in favor of the council," Zeus said reluctantly and everyone started to shout out who they were for. Ares sat there holding his head and rubbing his temples. After a few minutes everyone had placed their bet.
Hera, Hephaestus, Athena, Artemis, Demeter, Dionysus where for Ares winning while the rest beside Ares was against Ares winning, Zeus stayed out of the betting and had Ares out of the bet because he would of course bet on him winning.
"Now any other business? Let's continue," Zeus said and Ares blocked out the rest of the meeting.
Back in the mortal world Kenzie was getting ready for her work at the Blackbird Café. She was searching her whole apartment for her book.
"Cyrus I swear I just had it," she said talking to her large black and white Great Dane. He was sitting in the door way to her room looking sad. She started to look through her book shelf again when her phone rang.
"Hello?" she answered as she dove on her bed.
'WHERE ARE YOU!' asked her best friend Alice.
"At home! I think I left my book with this guy at the mall!" Kenzie shouted back and Alice gasped and then began talking quickly.
'OHMIGOSH! TELL ME ABOUT THIS GUY! I NEED TO KNOW! WHO WAS ABLE TO BREAK DOWN STONE WALL KENZIE!' she shouted and Kenzie held her phone away from her ear.
"Calm down Alice! I will tell you all bout these two maniacs once I get to the café…let me just get going. I need to bring Cyrus because Abby said she couldn't dog sit him today. Tell Henry," Kenzie said and Alice said okay and hung up. Kenzie looked at Cyrus and he wagged his tail.
"Hey booyy! Go get your leash! We are going to go to the café and you can hang out in the little garden how does that sound?" Kenzie asked in a baby voice and Cyrus quickly got up and ran to the living room and sat on the couch. Kenzie grabbed her messenger bag and quickly walked out to the living room. She grabbed her glasses because her contacts would always fall out when she was making coffee. Cyrus was holding his leash in his mouth and Kenzie took it and leashed him. She opened the door and Cyrus shot out of the apartment.
"CYRUS NO!" Kenzie shouted and ran after Cyrus as he bounded down the stairs.
"What the GREAT DANE!" shouted a feminine voice and then sounded a loud crash. Kenzie quickly ran down the stairs and found Cyrus on top of a young girl with long curly brown hair and hazel eyes.
"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry! Cyrus isn't usually like this. Cyrus heel," Kenzie said and Cyrus gave the girl one last lick and then sat back down next to Kenzie. She secured his leash and helped the girl up. The girl was laughing and smiling.
"OH no I am sorry, your lovely Great Dane must have smelled my homemade jerky treats. Here you go boy," the girl said and gave Cyrus a large piece of jerky. Cyrus quickly ate it all and whined happily.
"He loves you a lot and feels horrible about running out on you," the girl said and Kenzie tried not to act shocked but the girl saw her face.
"Oh I'm sorry; I didn't mean to shock you. I just have a knack with animals. I'm Bianca," she said as Kenzie helped her pick up her stuff. Kenzie saw some dishes, photographs and silverware.
"Are you moving in?" Kenzie asked and Bianca nodded.
"Yep, my two brothers and I, we have more siblings than that but it gets complicated. And the two that I'm moving in with are the only two that I can stand. The others are so annoying. Even my twin," Bianca said with a giggle.
"So you aren't moving with your twin?" Kenzie asked and Bianca nodded.
"Yeah we have been like glue since like forever and now I just want some freedom," Bianca said and Kenzie knew exactly how she felt.
"I totally agree with you! My three brothers are all older than me and so annoying they still act like I'm a baby," Kenzie said with a sigh. Then Cyrus barked and Bianca smiled at him.
"Well I better get going. I don't want you to be late for work," Bianca said and waved bye and started to walk up the stairs. Kenzie didn't remember telling Bianca she was going to work. Kenzie didn't have time to dwell on that because Cyrus started to run down the stairs and Kenzie was dragged all the way to the Blackbird Cafe.
"KENZIE! PUT CYRUS IN THE BACK AND HELP ME FIX THIS DAMN MOCHA CONTRAPTION," yelled Alice as she banged on the mocha dispenser. Henry was getting everyone's orders and yelling at Alice. Once Kenzie put Cyrus away in the little side garden Kenzie ran into the coffee shop and Alice was shouting more incoherent words.
"Hey, I will be right there give me a minute," Kenzie shouted and ran to the employees lounge.
