A/N: It's been a while since I last updated this. Time for a new chapter? I think so.
Thank you for the overwhelmingly great response to this, keep the reviews coming.
Enjoy a glimpse into the Very Secret Diary of... Athena!
Athena
Day One
Getting tired of Hera's cooking. Told her to get with the times and watch a few episodes of Masterchef. Wasn't too enthusiastic, so bought her Jamie Oliver's new TV show instead.
Hera likes Jamie Oliver very much. Zeus is not happy, has made it rain and storm continuously in said mortal's homeland.
Day Two
Hera spending too much time watching Jamie Oliver, and not enough learning to cook. Had a fight, decided to move out. I'm a big girl, need my own space.
Day Three
Urgh, rent in the city so pricey! Should think about getting some flatmates, share the rent and whatnot.
On the plus side, now cooking for myself! I am a strong, independent goddess who don't need no Queen of the Gods.
Day Four
Hera is such a worry-wart. Got me three housemates. The mortals seem nice enough – brawny one clearly is a kindred soul. Loves my cooking. Have agreed to watch Gossip Girl with him.
Day Five
More mortals. Rent is suddenly much cheaper than expected. Have bought more Jaime Oliver merchandise with all leftover money. Starting to see why Hera is so infatuated.
New housemates seem alright. Jay obviously likes Theresa. Wonder if he knows she can read his mind?
Day Six
Another housemate! Bit of an odd one, demands to be worshipped by everyone. Hera rather annoyed – trying to start up a Cult of Oliver, doesn't want to start one for Neil, too.
Day Eight
Theresa said I'm the best housekeeper she's had. I'm not the housekeeper! Silly rich girl.
Day Twelve
Neil doesn't like my cooking. Says it isn't good for his pores.
Day Thirteen
Git.
Day Fifteen
Housemates don't spend much time in the house. Starting to go mildly insane with loneliness.
Cult of Oliver had its first meeting today. Was just me and Hera, but she reckons it'll catch on. If Dionysus can have a popular cult, why can't Jamie?
Meetings have been postponed until we get more members. Very lonely.
Day Sixteen
Theresa offered to buy me a cat, for company.
May have to take her up on that.
Day Twenty
Bored. Daytime TV so tedious. Finished all the Gossip Girl episodes.
Have resorted to sneaking into Neil's room and rearranging all his products.
Day Twenty-Five
I am not panicking, living with all these mortals is fine. I am not crazy, this is fine, I will survive...
Day Twenty-Six
OH ZEUS NO. WHO LEFT THE SMELLY SOCKS IN THE DOORWAY?!
Day Thirty
Had to let Archie out of the basement. Jay not happy.
That's the last time he leaves washing around, that's all I'm saying. I am not their housekeeper!
Day Thirty-two
Atlanta taught me how to use the washing machine. Separating darks from lights beats messing around in Neil's room.
I am NOT the housekeeper.
Day Thirty-three
Agreed to cook breakfast for the twenty-ninth day in a row.
I am still NOT the housekeeper!
Day Thirty-six
… who am I kidding?
I am the housekeeper.
