WARNING: THIS CHAPTER HAS ADULT THEMES, THIS CHAPTER IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR KIDS TO READ
Summertime 1995, elsewhere in Long Island
Mark Evans was walking along the street to the music shop to pick up some equipment he and his close friend Elena Mikaelson had decided to hire for the beach party that they were holding that night. Just as he was about to walk into the store, he bumped into his crush (he was busy scrolling through the playlist he was going to use) Aphrodite.
"Oh! (15)Λυπάμαι Αφροδίτη, δεν ήμουν βλέποντας όπου πήγαινα" Mark apologised, going bright red. Aphrodite laughed and replied "(16)Αυτό είναι εντάξει Mark, δεν ήμουν δίνοντας πραγματικά την προσοχή στο σημείο όπου πήγαινα είτε" she indicated to her iPod that she'd been scrolling through. Mark grinned and asked her "(17)Θα θέλατε να με συνοδεύσει για να πάρει τον εξοπλισμό για απόψε?" gesturing to the music store.
"(18)βέβαιος" she replied, taking his hand as she had a crush on him too. He grinned and they walked into the store. While Mark talked with the store manager, Aphrodite looked around at the instruments that were available and was in awe of what the mortals had come up with. Shortly afterwards they left and brought the equipment to Mark's house.
They deposited the equipment (speakers, microphone's etc) in the lounge room and they sat at the kitchen table, chatting about various topics. Mark got up to get himself a drink and asked "Would you like anything to drink Aph?" "if you have the ingredients, I'd love a 'blue sex' cocktail" said Aphrodite using air quotations for the 'blue sex' part. Mark blushed, nodded and got her the requested cocktail while making one for himself.
He levitated the tray over with his wand back to the table (10 ½ inch laurel & myrtle with a raven feather core). Aphrodite took her drink and had a sip. "Damn that's a great cocktail Mark" she complimented. Mark grinned and said "Thanks". He looked around his living room and noticed his flowers that were on the windowsill were a bit sad & sorry.
"Aguamenti" he muttered and a jet of water flew onto the plants, "Herbivicus" he added and the flowers came back to their prime state. "So markie, I'm curious. How's your love life going?" Aphrodite asked, looking anywhere but at Mark.
"Well I haven't really done anything in the romance department of my life, usually because I'm a little busy at Camp Half-Blood when I go there with Elena during the summer and yeah I just haven't really thought about it much" Mark replied, staring into the contents of his cocktail glass, flushing slightly.
"Ok then, is Elena interested in anyone?" "Yeah, she's interested in Poseidon" Mark replied, thinking of the crush he has on Aphrodite. "Hmm that's interesting, I wonder if that union will result in a demigod?" Aphrodite mused. "If Elena has a baby he or she will also be magical too" Mark added, staring at Aphrodite. Aphrodite noticed and asked "What are you staring at?" "The most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life, mortal or immortal" he replied with a grin on his face. Aphrodite smiled and said "So if you're not in a relationship then do you by any chance happen to have a crush on anybody?" with a knowing grin on her face. Mark flushed even more, took a few deep breaths to calm down and get his heart rate back under control.
He turned so that he was facing Aphrodite, the goddess of love herself and took her hands in his (so soft, beautiful and feminine he thought to himself) and looked into her eyes which were a beautiful shade of blue, like a sunny day on a tropical island. "(19)Αφροδίτη, η γυναίκα μου αρέσει ... είναι σας" he said in Greek.
Aphrodite's smile, which was usually pretty bright, suddenly brightened even more and happiness radiated through her body, giving a subtle glow. "Really?" she whispered back in English, she was hoping that Mark loved her for her, not just all the goddess side of her. "Really Really" he whispered back as they slowly leant towards each other, cocktails, wands and plants forgotten.
Aphrodite whispered "That's good because I like you too Mark, like I think I may even love you" she whispered before they closed the remaining distance between them (not that there was much left) and their lips met in a sweet yet caring, loving and passionate kiss. Both marvelled from the feeling that surged through them as they tenderly kissed each other before pulling away to breathe.
"(20)Πω πω, πραγματικά είναι μια απίστευτη γυναίκα" said Mark as they sat on the couch, holding each other closely. Aphrodite chuckled and said "(21)Και είστε ένα απίστευτο άνθρωπο" while hugging him and gently running her hand over his chest. Mark leant his head back and moaned softly with his eyes shut, as he enjoyed the feeling of her hand running up and down his chest, periodically dipping dangerously low.
She sighed contentedly when she heard him moan and decided to tease him further by letting her hand slip even lower. When she did that, Mark opened his eyes and spoke in a husky tone, "How bout we move this –" he gestured to themselves "– to my bedroom and move things along" with undisguised lust in his eyes.
Aphrodite grinned devilishly and got up and deliberately brushed her groin with his making him growl, pick up his wand, cradle Aphrodite in his arms and apparate them to his room where he non-verbally banished their clothes to the other side of the room in a pile (had he been able to concentrate the clothes would have folded themselves into a pile) and they promptly resumed making out.
As they passionately played tonsil hockey, their arousals both heightened to extremes and Mark walked them towards his bed and they lay on it, still with their lips glued together. "(22)Θεοί του Ολύμπου! Σημειώστε, που αισθάνεται υπέροχα!" Aphrodite cried as they touched each other in very heated foreplay. "(23)Γλυκό Αφροδίτη!" Mark cried as Aphrodite touched the area he needed her most. "(24)Παρακαλώ Σημειώστε, παρακαλώ να μου έρωτα!" Aphrodite cried as the sensations she was feeling were driving her mad with need. "(25)Με χαρά μου κυρία Αφροδίτη" Mark whispered ... Three-thirty in the afternoon found Aphrodite and Mark cuddled up in bed comfortably, with their limbs entangled, both sleeping peacefully, until Marks alarm that he'd set to remind him to get the equipment for the beach party to the beach went off.
"Di Immortales..." Mark grumbled as he reached for his wand and waved it to dismiss the alarm. Aphrodite woke up when he left the bed to silence the alarm. "What was that about?" she asked while yawning and stretching. "Hmm? Oh that was a reminder to take the beach party music equipment down to the beach" Mark replied as he put some clothes on. He ended up wearing boardies, flip-flops and a band tee.
Aphrodite got out of bed and got herself dressed into denim shorts, a pink glittery halter neck cut-off tank top that Elena had given her for Christmas and her pink high heeled shoes. Then she fixed her hair and makeup, got her bag that she'd been carrying with her earlier then she and mark went downstairs and had a snack then they took the music equipment to the beach where some stalls were being set up.
"Hey Mark! Can you set up the music stuff over there?" said one of Mark's mates indicating to a sectioned off part of the beach. "Sure thing mate!" Mark replied and he and Aphrodite set up the equipment. Aphrodite went to get herself a drink while Mark got the equipment they were using set up.
Meanwhile Aphrodite was socialising with everyone on her way to the bar when she was stopped by a group of snobbish girls that didn't like her (or Elena) for some reason. "Who are you and why are you here? You shouldn't even be here, this is for the people we like only" said the leader of the group, whose name was Marina Nash. "Seriously? You dont even recognise me? I'm Aphrodite. I'm here to socialise with people, hang out with friends, dance, drink and whatever else you do at a party.
And what makes you think I shouldn't be here? And besides, you didn't have veto power over who was invited, last I heard there were flyers all over town saying whoever was legal to drink was allowed to come. Now if you lovely ladies dont mind I'm going to get myself a Long Island Iced Tea. And before I forget, Marina sweetie, that colour and style doesn't suit you. Try something a little darker and a few inches longer, and smaller heels for your shoes. And with the makeup, definitely loosen up.
Only a light layer of foundation, a few shades lighter, a tiny bit of blush, some lip-gloss, I'm thinking melon. As for your eyes, maybe a liner that matches your dress and a natural or gold/bronze shadow and not that much mascara. You girls ought to take that advice too, you are all in too much makeup and too little clothes and are trying too hard" said Aphrodite, adding a lot of sarcasm to the word 'lovely' as she, like Elena, couldn't stand Marina. She walked up to the bar and asked for a long island iced tea with a shot of nectar, tossing the barman (who she knew was a demigod) a drachma as a tip. The barman grinned and made her drink and handed it to her saying "A Long Island Iced Tea with a shot of nectar for the lovely Aphrodite" with a cheeky grin. Aphrodite chuckled and went walking around the beach again, stopping to chat with people periodically, and then she went back over to Mark and saw that Elena and Poseidon had stopped in.
She had just walked up to them when Marina tried to get Elena to leave and then Elena said "Seriously Nash? 'Go away Mikaelson, we don't want you here'? That the best you can come up with? (9/26)Εγώ θα έτσι αγάπη να προβολή αυτήν μόλις τι εγώ μπορώ κάνω ότι αυτή δεν μπορώ!" Aphrodite almost laughed out loud but kept quiet as she wanted to see where this went before announcing herself.
The situation got even more funny when Marina went brick red (which Aphrodite immediately noted did not look good on her along with what she told Marina about earlier) as she couldn't understand what they were saying. "(10/27)Αυτό θα ήθελα να δω, κανένα αδίκημα στο Λόρδο Άδη, αλλά Φοβού σαν ημίθεος απαξιωθεί!" said Mark who was struggling to hold in his laughter.
"(11/28)Θα ήθελα να πληρώσει σε δραχμές για να δείτε ότι" said Poseidon, who Aphrodite noticed was also trying to avoid laughing though his ocean-like eyes sparkled with mirth. "(12/29)Μετρήστε μου σε πάρα σήμα" said Aphrodite who was also very amused. The group of friends (not counting marina) all turned to see Aphrodite standing there.
"(13/30)κυρία Αφροδίτη" said Mark and Elena in unison as they bowed in a polite gesture out of habit. "(14/31)Γεια Σημειώστε, Έλενα" Aphrodite, giving both demigods a hug, holding Mark for a bit longer. They broke apart and partied into the night.
A/N: Well there's the second prologue done, might have the actual first chapter up over the weekend if I get time or remember to... anyway these prologues were for the 2 main characters who are obviously going to be demigods, and witches too. More translations and again if any of you readers speak Greek I would really appreciate your help with all the English to Greek translating stuff here. If you get a little muddled as to all the lines and what they say, just read this A/N, I'll put the translations down the bottom for you.Please rate and review, it makes me happy and kind of motivates me to keep writing. I have some exciting – well, what I'd consider exciting – plots and ideas in mind so stay tuned for chapter 1 (technically 3 but whatever) of The Pureblood & The Demigoddess. Love ya's!
