Chapter Three
I sat in my room, looking out the window. The beach was gorgeous. "Well, hello!" I voice said. I jumped with a shriek, falling backwards onto the floor. The random person ran into my cabin. "Oh my gosh, are you okay!?" It was a guy. I sat up, rubbing the back of my head. I groaned.
I stood up and grabbed the windowsill. I glared at the teenage boy. "Was I supposed to hear you before you scared me like that?" I asked kindly. The boy ran his hand through his hair. "I am so sorry!" I looked at my banner. "Oh." He said, his expression going from sorry to explained. "You're Aphrodite's daughter." He said, holding out his hand. I took it. "Yeah." I replied.
He chuckled nervously. "Well, I'm Todd. And again, I'm really sorry." He said. "Oh, and I'm Posideon's son if you were wondering." I nodded. "So I'll probably see you around the beach, huh?" I teased. We both laughed.
After Todd left, I sighed. I remembered that I had yet to finish unpacking or to even step foot in my bathroom. I sighed and walked over to the suitcase still half full of clothes and finished unpacking those. Then I went into my bathroom.
It was super nice. The mirror was humongous and so was the bathroom counter. I smiled at my shower; it too was huge. There was also a bathtub with water jets in it. "Oh, what a life this'll be." I mumbled in excitement. I put my shampoos and conditioners in the cabinet in between the shower and the tub.
When I saw the towels, I rubbed them to see if they were soft or not. And they were definitely soft. It felt like my pillows in my new bed. I sighed as the light in my window started to dim, meaning it was almost night. I finished unpacking and ran to the door, hearing someone knocking. I opened it, brushing my hair out of my face.
"Yeah?" I asked, not noticing who it was. "Oh! Hey Todd." I greeted him with my best, friendly smile. Todd smiled back at me. "Hey. Mind if I come in?" He asked. I nodded and opened the door wider. "Of course!" I said. And with that, he walked in.
I was a bit embarrassed when Todd asked me if I'd toured the whole cabin. I shook my head. He chuckled. "Well, then! I'll show you around, then, since it's a bit like my cabin." He said. He walked me to the kitchen and then outside where I had my own pool. I giggled once we got to the pool, and Todd must've understood why because he chuckled. "Yeah, the pool is for when you're really lazy I guess." He shrugged.
After a bit, the stars came out. Todd stayed and ate dinner with me; amazingly they even stocked food up for us. "How and where do they get all of this stuff? I mean, they can't just snap their fingers and there be a fridge-full of food. And my hair stuff..." I joked. But Todd looked serious.
"Demeter's children just ask her to offer food for the Demi-Gods." Todd explained. "And as for body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, Hygieia's children just ask her for stuff like that." He said, continuing to eat. I nodded. "Ah. And it goes to all of us?" I asked. Todd nodded, not answering verbally since he had a mouthful of food in his mouth.
Todd and I finished dinner faster than I'd expected. I opened the door and he stepped out into the full moon. He turned to me. "Thanks for keeping me for dinner, Angel. It was really nice." He said. I smiled. "My hospitality is large." I joked. We both giggled. We exchanged good nights and he jogged back to his cabin.
I smiled out at the moon until I got so tired that I almost collapsed. I dragged myself into my comfy bed and drifted off to dreamless sleep.
