Chapter 2:
Zoey and Aphrodite were woken up by the sound of someone knocking on Zoey's bedroom door.
"Who is it?" Zoey yelled, looking at her clock realizing that she and Aphrodite still had time to sleep.
"It's Erik, Z. Can I come in for a second?" Erik said through the door, his voice sounding muffled.
"Gimme a sec." Zoey yelled to Erik, then turned to the sleeping prophetess to wake her up. "Aphrodite, baby, you gotta get up."
"Hmm, why?" Aphrodite said into Zoey's pillow.
"We got company hun"
"Tell them to go away"
"I can't very well tell my boyfriend that I just slept with his ex. Not to mention the one I was just yelling at him about."
"Okay, I'll go hide in the bathroom, but once he leaves you are mine again" Aphrodite said with a smug look.
"Alright" With the last word and a quick kiss Zoey went to answer her door and Aphrodite went to the bathroom. Opening the door and seeing Erik eyes Zoey realized he had been crying. "What's the matter, Erik"
"I'm so sorry about the argument. You were right baby. I shouldn't have been flirting with her. But I promise you she means nothing to me." Erik said, his voice full of emotion.
"Well, she means something to me" Zoey said with her eyes cast down.
"Excuse me?"
"I'm in love with her Erik. I have been for quite a while"
"When did this happen?! And why didn't you tell me before now?"
"I was scared to. I have only just come to terms with these emotions myself"
"And how did you do that?"
Little did Erik know that Aphrodite was ease dropping in the bathroom while he and Zoey were talking. And at hearing the question asked, she stepped out of the bathroom and walked into Zoey's arms and kissed her. "By doing the same thing that you did Erik when you thought you loved me. She fucked me. And a lot better than you did I could say" Aphrodite said, her stings at Erik's emotions clear in her words.
"Aphrodite. Would you please go wait on my bed for me please?" Zoey said, not wanting there to be any more drama between the two than there already would be when everyone got up and Erik went to go run his mouth.
"Sure thing baby." Aphrodite said, as she walked away. But not before planting a kiss on Zoey so passionate Erik could see how they truly felt for each other.
"So, this is how this ends huh? You choose her over me?" Erik said, a quaver in his voice that Zoey could not place.
"No, I can have both of you. As I am a Priestess." Zoey said, seductively.
"What do you mean you can have both of us?"
"I love you, and I love her, and I want both of you and I refuse to be refused"
"So what? Like a threesome?"
"Exactly. Step into my bedroom Erik."
"Zoey, I don't what she did to you but you and I both know this is not what you want. You are still a virgin for crying out loud."
"Not anymore she's not" Aphrodite interjected.
"You. She gave her virginity to you?" Erik asked her.
"Yes, because she loves me. Now, I'm not too keen on sharing my Priestess but I will put up with you for her if it means that she is mine."
"You wouldn't have to put with me, because I'm not into you. I'm into her."
"Okay, okay. No one is putting up with anyone, but will both just stop arguing" Zoey said, realizing that the tension between the two was building so immensely that she might not be able to stop it.
"So, I have a question" Erik said with a questioning look pointed directly at Zoey.
"Yes, oh stupid one?" Aphrodite kept going with her cheap shots.
"Not for you. For Z."
"Yes, Erik?" Zoey said in her sweet baby girl voice that used to sicken Aphrodite who now thought it was the most adorable thing in the world.
"When did you start liking females?"
"Not until I admitted to myself that I was falling in love with Aphrodite." Zoey said, blushing slightly.
Aphrodite blushed that Zoey had readily admitted to Erik that they were in love with each other. It was by far one of the bravest things she had ever seen Zoey do, and she had faced a lot. Love triangles, on multiple occasions as well as facing death itself and having her soul split in so many pieces.
. Aphrodite knew almost everything there was to know about Zoey's personal life, and maybe a little more than she needed to, but she still loved her all the same. If Erik thought that he could change that just by barging in on her and Zoey, he must have had a dildo stuck so far deep up his ass that he couldn't think straight. Nothing and no one would take Zoey from her, especially if she had anything to say about it.
"This is nuts, Z. You expect me to believe that you are in love with a girl that you, not two hours ago, told me you hated with all your being?" Erik asked Zoey, still in an everlasting state of disbelief.
"You are going to have to believe it, or you're gonna have to exit my life. You can choose for yourself." Zoey said, going back to the being the queen of all things badass that she naturally was.
"So, you're making me choose between being single or having two girlfriends? I'm pretty sure you are smart enough to know which one I will choose, Zoey Redbird."
"Good, now, as that is settled, I will need more alone time with my Priestess, ass wipe." Aphrodite said being a little irritated that Erik was still in the room and that fact alone made her want him.
"If anything, I would need alone time with OUR Priestess, Aphrodite. As you and she have already consummated your love for each other. Now it's my time to show her what I can do. I mean, we already know what you like to do with your mouth." Erik had just full blown called Aphrodite out on their past together. And Zoey was becoming more and more irritated.
"Okay, if this is gonna work you two have to be nice to each other. No cheap shots, no low blows, my bedroom will be a room of love and if you two don't love me enough to respect that then you can BOTH get out!" Zoey made her final statement and both of them looked at her shocked.
Erik leaned in Zoey's direction to kiss her and she willingly leaned in. "Aphrodite, a few hours alone. Just as the time was allotted to us, that's all I ask"
"Yeah, that's all WE ask" Erik said with a little sting already added to his voice going against what he promised Zoey he would not do.
"Alright, whatever. But don't forget that she is partially mine!" Aphrodite yelled before slamming the door in both their faces as she stormed out of Zoey's bedroom.
