Aphrodite POV:
I ran my fingers through my long golden locks. My face looked perfect, but my hair looked too plain and I didn't know what to do with it. I slipped into a blood red dress. I looked in the mirror and sighed, not satisfied. I walked downstairs in hopes of finding my lover, but instead I found Athena. Covering my disappointment with a smile I said,
"Hello Athena, I didn't expect to see you here," I said, she frowned a hint of jealousy on her face.
"Yes, well I was just leaving," she paused, "Ares is in California."
I tossed my hair over my shoulder, smirked, and left. I scanned the horizon of Cali until I saw him. He was sitting all alone reading a newspaper. I appeared behind him, playfully I covered his eyes with my hands.
"Guess who."
"Um…" he played along, "I can't think of anyone with that voice." then added "Or that perfume."
I giggled and took a seat next to him. His whole face lit up, then he wrapped his arms around me. Whispering in my ear he said, in a husky voice,
"You look beautiful, I love your hair." He ran his fingers through a small lock. I frowned remembering my hair antics this morning.
"Love," I started, "Would you still love me if I wasn't beautiful."
He smiled, cupped my chin in his hand and declared,
"I have always loved you, and will always love. Not only is your face beautiful but so is your personality."
I almost cried, but instead I buried my face into his chest knowing it would ruin my makeup. But honestly, I really didn't care.
