A/n: Lindsay and John time lol

Chapter 21

I did this even though I knew I wouldn't have a tomorrow,

But I did this so you could have a tomorrow and so forth,

Artemis's palace on Olympus

Artemis had been spying on what Percy had said to Athena and Annabeth, when she heard those words she left her palace instantly.

Back a few months in the motel lobby

Lindsay ran into the motel lobby with her tears already drying. The clerk at the front desk decided to talk to her. " Hey there gal whats seems to be the problem?" Lindsay looked at him with eyes of confusion.

" Nothing." Lindsay said strait and blandly.

" Come on you can't fool these trained eyes. I've seen alot of people that stayied here have probelms." the clerk said. Lindsay finally looked at him. He was africain american, tall about 6' 8 she guess, short cut black hair that was curly, brown eyes and what looked like a friendly smile and personality. She also guessed he was in his late 40's.

" okay, I just don't know if I should let a guy I like and he loves me into my life. By the way names Lindsay." Lindsay said.

" Names Tim, and about your problem I think you should let him into your life as a lover. I mean if you like him and you know that he loves you then l believe you should give him a try." Tim said.

" But the last I tried to let him it ended badly for him and me. Its not like a an old flame or anything." Lindsay said as John walked down the hall. she straited up and Tim smiled. Lindsay walked out of the motel. John began to follow her.

" Hey there kid, she really likes you but she doesn't feel ready to open up to you why don't you go back to the room and wait for her return. John gave Tim a puzzled look and decided to go with the older mans advice and walked back towards the room. Lindsay was walked all the way to the closest park. Parks alwas calmed her down during times of stress for her. She went over to a bench and sat down looking at the pond in front of her. Even though it was snowing the frozen pond still looked beautiful. Lindsay finall felt the presence of a elderly woman sitting on the other side of the bench.

" Hello Lindsay." The elderly woman said. Lindsay saw that the old Lady had a rose growing in her hands. It was strange as it was literially growing in her hads.

" Demeter?" Lindsay questioned, then second guessed herself as Demeter usually looked around 28 years old. The old woman moved over to Lindsay and leaned her head near Lindsay's ear and whistpered her name to Lindsay. Lindsay's face showed shock and awe. " No way you can't be her."

" My child impossible is only what you believe is impossible." the old lady said.

" You stole that from someone I can't remeber." Lindsay said.

" No time for smal chit chat. Here take this rose." the old lady said. " It will never wilt or die if your with the one you belong with. No go my child." the old lady said.

" Wow I never thought I'd ever see you." Lindsay said standing up and taking the rose.

" Take care my child." with that the lady was gone.

" Bye grama." Lindsay said softly. (a/n: With that you guys should know who she is after I clear this up, Aphrodite techincally is Kronos in a way cause she was from from his blood falling into the sea so says the myth so that lady would be Lindsay's Grama. :P)

Motel room (a/n: I'll be refering this room to the Motel room from now on for this part of the story.)

John was suprised as Lindsay came back with a rose that was like it was home in her hand as it was in perfect condition. She set it down the coffee table in front of the couch. John walked over to her. " I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier." John said.

" It's okay." Lindsay said still looking at the rose. John went over to the other side of the coffee to look into her eye, her beautiful hazel eye.

" I hope we can at least be friends." John said sadly.

" Sure but I was actually thinking about something else." Lindsay said smiling devilishly.

" What were you thinking about?" John asked totally clueless.

" How about you being my boyfriend?" Lindsay said without blushing. John on the other hand made a regular blush look like the color blue.

" I thought you'd never give me a chance." John said grinning like he just got the best birthday present ever.

" You will always be clueless." Lindsay said faking feeling annoyied by his true cluelessness.

" I might be clueless but I'm your clueless idoit. My Lady." John said.

" Oh no sir John is so full of himself. Let me wipe that grin off your face." Lindsay said playing around with him. He sighed.

" Is Lady Lindsay challaging her knight to a duel?" John inquired.

" Oh no it's more like Amazon Lindsay is being challaged by Lady John." Lindsay said seductivly leaning her face so it was only centimeters from his.

" Oh lets see who's the Lady, my beautiful angel of..." John said before he was cut off by her jumping on top of him. She pinned his arms with each of her hands to the ground as she sat on his chest.

" Give up now Lady John." Lindsay purred.

" Oh I never thought you had a playful side to you at all. That makes things interesting." John said. "And no I'm sorry but a knight never admits he's a lady."

" Did you just say all knights are ladies but they're never gonna tell anyone that they're a lady? Smooth choice of words Lady John." Lindsay said as John tried to shift his weight to reverse the postions they were in now but it was useless.

" Let me go Lindsay." John said.

" Not till you admit it." Lindsay said.

" Okay Lady John yields." John said. Lindsay got off of him and turned around to go take a shower. But she was swept off her feet by John who took them to the bedroom. He pinned her to the bed and looked into her eyes.

" Now its your turn Lady Lindsay." He said into her ear.

" I'm sorry but saying that is like throwing away my shield." Lindsay said. ( A/n: Its consider a like a sin to return home from battle in the classical age in greece without your shield as it means you ran or threw your shield away to leave the man to your right and left open. well at least thats what my research showed me in sparta.)

" Oh really." John said having his lips only millimeters from hers.

" Yes." Lindsay quickly said and kissed him. Causing him to loosen his hold on her for a secon in surprise and Lindsay toke that oppurtinity to change the way they were. She flipped them and she smiled at John. " I always win in these things. Now be a good boy and stay in here while I take a shower and sleep on the couch."

Athena cabin a few mintues before Annabeth stormed out.

" I love Artemis and nothing on this planet can change that I'm sorry." Percy said. Annabeth looked like she was about to cry and Athena was in a state of shock that could have put her in a mental hospital.

A/n: Yes the end is getting closer and if you still dont know who that old lady is pm me and I'll anwser you.
