"So you are willing to wait as long as it takes for this man," Zeus asked his daughter.
"I will do whatever it takes father."
"As long as you are happy my daughter," Zeus replied.
Zeus then made a goblet of wine appear and handed it to Aphrodite, "take it to him to drink. Remember he will not remember you so do not let yourself be disappointed."
"I understand father. Thank you," Aphrodite said as she reappeared walking on the beach towards Will.
Will looked up from where he had been sitting and saw a beautiful woman walking towards him holding a goblet of all things. He stood up to greet her. He didn't recognize her but there was something strangely familiar about her. He felt completely at ease with her but did not understand why.
"Hello Will," Aphrodite said.
The voice was so sweet. He was fighting with his memory to try and remember her. She handed Will the goblet and he took it from her their fingertips touching one another. Chills went up and down Will's spine.
"How do you know my name," Will asked softly.
"Drink," she said. It was not an order or command just a simple request.
Will without question then took the goblet and drank the wine. It tasted perfect; it was the best he had ever had. He quickly finished all of it. Aphrodite smiled at him.
"You won't remember me my darling but you will remember soon," Aphrodite said and leaned in and kissed Will on the lips. It was a soft and gentle but heartfelt kiss. Aphrodite did not expect Will to respond but he took one of his hands and placed it on her face and kissed her back. Then Aphrodite back away and disappeared in front of Will's very eyes.
Will backed away in confusion. What had just happened? Was he hallucinating? He thought it all a dream but he swore to himself that he could still taste the wine in his mouth. As Will looked around for this mystery woman, Aphrodite rejoined her father watching Will from a distance.
"It is done now," Zeus said. "He is now immortal. Once his wife is gone, he can be yours. BUT understand this: my daughter, his wife Elizabeth is under my protection. She will live out her days as she should. You will not cause any harm to befall her or break them apart. Do you understand?"
"Yes father. I can wait as long as I need for the father of my child," Aphrodite replied rubbing her belly.
Will walked back to Jack's home. Jack was outside watching Jasmine and William play and trying to keep Jasmine out of trouble.
"Ye going to be alright," Jack said more in a statement than a question.
"Aye, I'm home where I belong. I'll get over with the not knowing. But I can't let it ruin my life. I am here with the people I love," Will said looking at Elizabeth as she walked out of Jack's home.
"We finally have you home," Elizabeth said as she ran to him and kissed him passionately.
Well that's it for this story….like I said if you want a sequel…I do have some ideas….
