Chapter 13 Happy Birthday!

Deuce POV

This couldn't have been more perfect, the scenery was amazing true, but it was nothing compared to the ghoul sitting beside me. There was nothing more beautiful in the world than her, this truly is the perfect start to my birthday. I let out a laugh as I laid back in the flower bed taking Cleo with me.

She collapsed on my chest resting her ear over my heart as she let out this content sigh. I took in the smell of her perfume it was amazing. "Hey Cleo, I love you, this was perfect way to kick off my party an Egyptian princess you are a goddess to me." I could hear her breath hitched as she stilled in my arms. I wrapped my arms across her waist holding her in place so that she let this sigh.

I heard her giggle as I pulled her close kissing her behind the ear, before moving down to her neck and then trailing a kiss down to her collar bone. I could hear her laughing stop as she tried to stifle a moan.

I could feel her skin lightening up underneath my touch. "Deuce" I heard her suck a deep breath in as I started to trail kiss down her chest. I could feel her body shake and quake under my touch. I was about to pull her shirt off when I heard a someone clear their throat. I looked up I could see that a man with golden hair and sterling blue staring at was Zeus just great.

I heard Cleo let out this shrink as he looked at her, she seemed almost horrified as she stood up and stared at him. "What a perv! What do you think that you are doing here?" I look at her she didn't know what she was getting herself I did and he wouldn't hold back against her and if he laid his hand on my ghoul. All the gods combined wouldn't be able to save him.

"Cleo you should head back to the palace and get some rest. Me and Zeus are just going to talk for a little bit. Go! I can handle this." She looked a little unsure on whether it was a good idea to leave me alone with him.

But I wasn't going to let him keep pushing me around. I walked over to Cleo wrapping my hand in her, her warmth spreading ever to me. "Go I will stone wall the guy if there is a problem." She nodded her head a little before running off to the palace.

I snarled at him as Cleo was out of view "What the hell do you want, my father told me that he made it clear that you are not to lay a hand on me and even if he didn't. He wanted me here and there is no way in hell that I am going to let you ruin my birthday, so you can shove it."

I watched Zeus blond eyebrow twitch nervously as his smug smile that was plastered on his face was replaced with a sneer that almost seemed animalistic. "Who do you think that you are talking to." I watched as there was this bright flash right before an electric current ran down my shoulders.

I felt it get numb as he grabbed his bolt and stalked over to me, I twitch my right arm and I could feel the muses in my arm going numb I wouldn't be able to move. That fucking pussy. As he staked closely I could see the way that the comers of his mouth twitch as he started to smile.

"I warned you that I would kill you. I wouldn't want to be made a lier." I snarled my lips curling back over my teeth as my snakes hissed loudly. I felt my arm starting to move as angry energy filled my body with strength. I reached my hand to me to my shades. "Fuck you" I ripped my shades off releasing my stone stare, I watched as the stone encased his entire body.

I walker over to him poking his body as his eyes shifted to look at me this anger forming in his eyes, "Don't worry it should wear off in like a week maybe. I don't know I'm not that good with my powers. Later"

I watched him for another before pushing him, as I walked away I could hear the sound of his stone body hitting the had to be the best day of my life, I had him out of my hair for a little while.

As I walked back to palace the cold air whipped away the sweat that was drenching my skin. I was truly content when I let out a sigh I could smell lilacs wafting into my nose. "Pretty late for you to be walking around isn't should be in bed young man." I knew the demanding yet amused tone.

As I turned to look at my father both worry and excitement filled my heart as I noticed his eyes were lit up with joy. I don't even think that he is made that I'm out past my curfew. "Happy birthday kid."

I smiled and watched him catch up to me before slowly walking and shoving his hands in his pocket. Just content to listen to our feet hitting the sidewalk. "I was going to wait to give you your gift later. But since you are already awake there is no point in waiting."

I looked over to see my father hand me something. It was a slim blue box. When I opened it, there was a thick neon green box looking thing.

I twisted it in my index finger but there wasn't anything special about it but there was this button on the edge of the green disk. "Push the button" I hear my father amused voice to my right.

I stopped walking and hit the green button and there was this computerized noise as the disk started to get extended until it was too heavy for me to hold and fell to the ground. I watched as it extends into a survived except this one was floating. It wasn't even touching the ground, this was so cool, so wicked I didn't even know what to say.

"I asked Heptapus to make it for you, I know how much you love extreme sports, so I had him make it special for you. One of a kind."I didn't know what to say I lifted the bore up and it shifted back into the small disk that my father had given to me.

"Oh, and there is this." He hands me a green trident type pendant. "Both can attach to your chain necklace so when you need to yank it off of your chain and it forms it a full-size trident or hoverboard.t time you got your own trident."

I couldn't help but smile for the rest of he walk home this all meant a lot to me, I was really only one who uses there powers. Being regarded by him as something other than bastard means a lot to me. I smile wide as we finally made it back to the palace. I standing in front of my room and I couldn't help my large goofy grin that was forming on my face. "Thanks, dad"

I pulled him into a hug this was the really a great birthday who would have thought that it would go this well.I knew that I shocked him because he didn't react to me hugging him, he simple stood there too shocked to move. "Love you da."But as we continued to walk there is this one hurting thought that had been eating at me all day.

"Dad what did you say to Zeus that made him so edgy and arty?" My father looked down at me with confusion and skepticism in his eyes as his eyebrows slipped down. "What do you mean? When did you run into Zeus?" His voice seemed worried and anxious like he worried about my safety around Zeus.

Could that mean that he actually believed that Zeus hit me, I let out low sigh "Well he uh…." I looked down at my feet no matter the joy that I felt I was worried that the moment I told him about the garden that he would yell and say that I'm lying again. "You ran into him and he comforts you. Try to hurt you?"

His edgy voice I hook me from my thoughts as he let out this low meaning growl but for once it wasn't directed towards me. 'I told him that if I found out that it is him that laid his hands on you that there wouldn't be enough gods in Olympus to save him. Then Hestia showed up and told me the truth that is all she wrote."

I grinned madly before pulling my dad into this bone-crushing hug before pulling away. Just hearing that is better than any gift that he could give me. "I love you so much and I'm sorry that I never believed you. So no would you please be a good son and go to bed." I laughed as a few tears started to form behind my glass. Before I could embarrass myself I ran into my bed and collapsed.

"Hey Deuce, get up we are going into being late." I open my eyes to see that Cleo was sitting on my bed with this sly smile on her face. "Wait for crap my glass Cleo look away." I slammed my eyes closed I was such an idiot why did I keep doing stupid stuff like that. "Calm down Deuce I had my eyes close you are all good, now put your glasses on silly so that we can get going."

I watched her, her purples massacre seeming to stand out more. I grabbed my shades and put them on, "You are safe to open your eyes down babe." I watched her open her eyes as I tucked both my arms behind my head interlacing my fingers together. When her gaze met mine, I could tell she was happy to see me, there was this bright light in her eyes.

She smiled wide at me before crawling further into the bed and resting her hands on either side of my body pulling close to me. "Are you going to finish what you started last night." I looked at Cleo and smile wide at her

"Was this why you woke me up for, so we could finish our fun from last night." She laughed at me but there was something in the way she smiled that told me, I had hit the nail on the head.

I grabbed her by the waist pulling her under me as I kissed her neck then her collarbone. My breath tingled against her skin as she let out this giggle that turned into a full-blown laugh. I was on the verge of asking her if she had locked the door when she pushed my head down. I smile and did as I was told you don't say no to a De Nile.

After about two hours I looked at Cleo her frail form laying under the thin sheet of my black comforter that was covering us. I know that as long as I have to look at her rocking body I would lose what was left of my impulse control. "That was great, was that my gift because if so that was mind-blowing."

I could hear this giggle escaped her lips as her shoulders started to shudders. When she was about to say something the door opened and I let too this groan great now this was happening. But who ever had opened the door slammed it shut. When I tipped my head down I thought that they would be gone but there was my aunt this frown on her face as she shifted her vision to Cleo. But I could see the edge of her mouth twitching like she is trying not to smile. "Cleo could you be a dear and leave so I can talk to me nephew."

Her voice was pleasant which isn't what you would expect from a pissed off family member if you know what I mean. But Cleo didn't put up a fuss which wasn't like her either I guess she wanted this to be the best day for me.

So, she quickly got dress and ran out of the room, but I could see this smirk on her face as she slowly closed the door. I started to get dress and she simply turns around folding her arms as she stared at the door. As I was getting dressed I could have sworn that I headed her humming happy birthday. I walked to my bathroom brushing my teeth and when I went to walk out there was my aunt this sweet smile on her face.

"So, you love her." I smiled and nodded my head she was my ghoul and there was no one better. I could see this bright beaming smile forming on her face and I knew that I had a goofy idiot grin on my face

"Good then I'm not mad but I want to make sure that you aren't a womanizer like your father." I smiled at her playful tone before she looped her arm in mine yanking me back to my bed that she made.

I shook my head, she couldn't resist the urge to clean a room if it seemed untidy to her. "So, before the big party, I wanted to talk about how there is a brand new Zeus statue in the garden. Your aunt Demeter could see everything that happened in the fields or gardens."

I smiled weakly and nodded my head looks towards the door. "I don't know what dad said to him, but it really got under Zeus skin he wanted me out of there. But I stopped him at the last moment it's no big deal. Someone has to stonewall him right?"

She laughed and nodded her head her chocolate brown hair flowing to down her lower back as she pulled something off the bed and handed it to me. "I knew that you father gave you your gift early, so I wanted to give you mine before you get swept up with your friend and your tool call to fangout with your aunt. "

I laughed at her, she was the only reason that my time here is so much more bearable. She always looked out of me and it was great. I smiled before taking a neatly wrapped neon green box.

It was about medium size and it sat in my lap it felt a bit heavy and I smile I wonder what the hell could it have been. I peeled away the wrapping paper before taking off the lid and was hit with the smell of brand new politics. When I looked inside there were a who bunch of different CDs in them.

"I know that all the kid now days are using their coffin to store their music' theses CDs are all signed by the band. I asked your dad about all your favorite bands and I went to each band told them I would get them into olmypus if they signed them for me." She chuckled lightly and I couldn't help but smile wide she was the best.

"Plus, while you were sleeping I had Cleo steal me your Icoffin and upload every song from those CDs onto your phones so happy birthday kid." I smile wide and pulled her into a hug that she chucked at and wrapped her arms round my lower back.

"Thanks, you're the best aunt ever and I would never be too cool to hang out why you. I'm the lucky one." I hear her gasp, but she pulled out the hug and while whipping a lone tear from her eye.

"Alight well get going Cleo and the restful the ghouls are waiting for you in the kitchen." I nodded my head and place my box neatly on the end table are running out of the room and worn the hall. "I wonder where they wanted to go sightseeing today.

When I got into the kitchen Clawd was scarfing down a whole plate of sausage, I smiled at him before looking at Dracula talking to could she ignore that, next to her Clawdeen was shaking her head sadly while Frankie and Cleo just laughed. "Hey, guys." Clawd snapped his head up with this side smile on his face as he ran over to me. He slapped me on the back.

"Hey, dude what's up, happy birthday man." I smiled wide and nod my head as the ghouls echoed it. "Thanks, dudes, now where do you guys want to ."

I turned to look at them as Cleo walked over to me interlacing her fingers with mine. "We wanted to walk around Olympus today come on." Before I could argue they dragged me out of the palace.

We had been walking for like 5 minutes and there was no one on the street it is completely empty which wants usual. I don't think that this was the best to be here right now, there was something I was just about to tell them that we sound head back down to earth when I was pulled to a stop.

When I looked up from my thought I noticed that we were standing on a beach. This wide smiled was put on my face as I noticed the large groups of people and grills going off in the background. Music's was playing light and soft and the sound of the waves crashed against the shore. "Happy birthday." When I turned around there was a large number of my family members along with some news and other magical creatures. I smiled wide as they all gave me a huge and want about the party.

I was sitting in the sand with Cleo when I looked at a killer wave I would kill to go for a surf I sally don't get to until spring and there was spring but there was no bored. "Deuce I still a gift to give to you."

I smiled wide at her I thought her gift was the mind-blowing sex what else could there be. She stood up slowly walked off when she came back I was awestruck there weren't any words that came with that but wow. In her hand was a neon green surfboard with a cobra on it that looked just like the ones that were on my head. She really was something else I walk over to her and pulled her into a deep kiss.

When I pulled away, we were both breathless. "This is the most percent gift ever, I need a new bored thanks, babe." She looked at me awestruck, not able to form a word I guess my kiss stole her vocabulary away. I smiled wide before running off into another ocean. Time to catch some waves.
