HAPPY READING! REMEMBER THE DISCLAIMER!
Chapter 4
Percy found her stepmother swimming to above the surface. She joined her and hopped into this wooden boat. It jerked forward towards a huge whirlpool. They fell and soon landed on the sandy beach.
"Hello Amphitrite! I have tea set out- PERCY!" Calypso ran towards the slightly taller girl. She was fascinated how her hair always smelt like sea salt and it whipped in the wind like rogue waves.
"Calypso how's the island?"
"Great! I had this guy who was so annoying! He like wanted me to strip in front of him but you know, I still fell in love with him… some how!" Percy smiled.
"So, I hear you are the soon to be bride of Apollo!"
"Yeah… I just needed sometime without him." Percy thought about his face before she left. For all she knew, he had called everything off.
"Come and have some tea and something to eat." She kindly led them to her cave. Percy remembered everything from when she landed her on Calypso's island. Unfortunately, her curse applied to girls as well and she fell in love with Percy but before she left Calypso wanted her to leave as a friend and not another broken love.
After tea, Amphitrite went for a small stroll around the island while Calypso showed her the latest edition of her garden.
"How do you deal with it?"
"I don't really do much, I just have a lot of time so-"
"No, heartbreak?"
"Oh. I am just… forced to. I guess it's why I love gardening, it takes my mind off things."
"So gardening will help?" All the wives garden… except Aphrodite but she is a special case. Every other female god gardens. Amphitrite, Persephone, Calypso. All of them have gardens.
"So, should I start gardening?"
"If you want, although I don't believe it."
"Believe what?"
"Apollo, he talks to Amphitrite and she tells me about him and what he says about you and how he has a secret room in the house where he has these calendars and he loves crossing off the days till your wedding. Of course, it's strange…"
"What is?"
"Well… a week ago Amphitrite came and told me Nicole came and visited Triton and she thinks there is something going on between them. Of course with all the time I have I overlook things and well I don't believe it. And now Apollo is going out with a mistress… it's crazy the world of Greek Gods, I am sometimes glad I am alone here on this island, not having to worry about anything but who will be the next person to land here."
"I should have listened to my father and Lord Zeus."
"What did they say?"
"They warned me about Apollo looking for a partner for the next 3 days… this was the day after I saved Olympus."
"Wait, they TOLD YOU Apollo was LOOKING for a PARTNER?" Calypso said emphasising most words.
" Yes… why?" Calypso hesitated.
"Gods don't plan things like that. Apparently, he was with Nicole before you saved Olympus."
"Wait… he was with Nico, Nicole Di Angelo, sister of Bianca Di Angelo, Daughter of Hade-"
"Yes! I know, that is what I thought! He was with her though…"
"So, my father was practically saying 'He has suffered from heart ache like yourself, you understand he needs to see other people?"
"Yes, I don't believe that it was a coincidence, it was planned but by who and when I don't know."
"What was?"
"Apollo and Nicole breaking up, a few months later Nicole visits your half brother and then your so to be husband is seen a week later with someone… it doesn't make sense, but then again I over think things."
"Yeah well… I don't know, I don't really want to- wait… you actually may have a point. Calypso, I become a goddess when I marry Apollo … right?"
"Yea-"
"So, when I am a goddess, I have the right to take over Triton, yes?"
"Um-"
"So, what if Triton wanted to see Nicole in hope I would leave Apollo and not become a goddess, therefore he doesn't have to worry about me becoming a goddess and taking over his life?"
"But why would he think you would take over his life?"
"That's what Amphitrite says anyway… why, do you know something?"
"Um… he may have told me something a little disturbing…"
"Yes?"
"He might be… homosexual…"
"WHAT!"
"Which is why I believed he was trying to get Apollo but I most likely wrong."
"Or maybe you are right, maybe we are both right!"
"Bu-"
"Percy!" Amphitrite called out to her.
"I'll come again, we shall discuss this in more detail but I must go and apologise to Apollo."
Percy hugged Calypso momentarily and ran to Amphitrite. A boat was approaching them.
Calypso ran forward with a basket of various foods, materials for Percy's wedding. Among was a blue flower.
"For your 'something blue' thing." She smiled and hugged Percy again.
"Thank you so much Calypso, you made me see again." She whispered this so only Calypso could hear.
Percy looked up again and saw something that made her heart stop. His blonde hair whipped around in the wind, his eyes were swollen a little from crying and his blue eyes with specks of golden sunrays captured in a dance.
"Miss me love?" Apollo outstretched his hand as Percy tumbled into the boat and hugged him, not wanting to let go.
