P.O.V Poseidon
-You had to go to land, meet that human and have a son with her, didn't you?!- my wife kept ranting, she had been shouting at me for the last three hours... for something that happened twenty years ago!- And now I have that annoying son under my sea with my son after him like a linofrino follows his light! And now the slut got pregnant with Atlantis heir?! I won't let that brat get away with that!
-Enough!- I yelled having enough of her fit- This is MY sea, not yours!- I glared at her so darkly that she began to tremble in fear- Triton is my son as well and Percy is a very good influence in our son, haven't you notice that that Atlantis had been happier ever since they mated? And you call yourself my Queen- I scoffed, I knew that I was being harsh but I had gotten enough of her attitude- The only thing you want is the power that being at my side gives you... you do not love the sea enough to be loved by me anymore.
-You never loved me- she spat angrily.
-I chose you Amphitrite- I told her- I could have chosen anyone I wanted to stay by my side- I looked at her sadly- However, I chose you... and you don't know how much I regret that decision.
Those were the words that finally managed to broke her, she swam away from me with tears falling from her eyes. I sighed tiredly and thought "Both my brother's found true love... why can't I?".
Amphitrite didn't come back to the palace from that day, I didn't even heard from her until after Nico's birthday party. When I received a letter from her saying that she got enough and wanted nothing to do with me as her husband and her as a Queen.
-Peter? Are you ok?- the concern question brought me back from my memories. I looked up and saw a wild mane of red head and a pair of blue eyes- You seem lost in space.
"Right, I was still in Neptune's cafe". When I first found out about this place I laughed until I cried, but then I needed to see how good was the place that dared to use my name. Let me tell you that the food was excellent, it was so good that I asked for the chef. You'll know my surprise when a found out it was the work of a fourteen years old girl! Ariel that's the name of my good friend, the chef of this place. She hadn't change a lot this last six years, what had changed was the importance that she had in my life. She helped me out whenever I felt nervous because Percy was in a mission or because I had problems with my kingdom, her food was always a great relief. It turned to be a routine: I come here, order her food, we talk and then it begins all over again. She is always a great listener and very good at lending a hand.
-I just got divorced- I answered her, ignoring the gasp of surprise from her.
-Are you ok?- she asked before slamming her hand on her forehead- He just got divorced, of course he isn't fine!- she muttered under her breath making me laugh, I have to add that her reactions are amusing as hell- That's it Peter- she told me with a small smile- You might catch another fish if you keep laughing- she refilled my cup of coffee- After all you look much more handsome like this- with a wink she turned on her heels and tried walk away, but I caught her arm- Do you want something?- she asked me surprise.
-You hit you?- I demanded to know, my voice was low but firm and full of rage. I haven't notice yet but she was wearing make-up to cover some bruises. When she stiffened I knew for sure that someone hurt my little mermaid- Ariel, who hurt you?
-Daniel- she whispered sadly. "What?! But if he loves her! Daniel would never hurt Ariel, he isn't that kind of boyfriend"- I found him cheating on me... he said that I wasn't pretty enough- she laughed humorless. "That bastard! Yes, Ariel might not be gorgeous but she was beautiful. Her presence is noticed whenever she enters a room and her words carries so much identity that everyone wants to hear her. Also her smile... Sweet Rhea, she has the most beautiful smile I had ever seen. It is like her soul laughs with her! And Daniel lost all of that, only for a night stand?!"- When I broke up with him he got angry and hit me, now he is in prison for assaulting me... but that doesn't change the fact that he broke my heart- suddenly she broke down in tears. As soon as I noticed I dragged her on my lap and hugged her warmly. When she calmed down, after leaving my shirt soaking wet and full of snot, she laughed at my playful disgusted face.
-That's it Ariel- I told her with a small smile- You might catch another fish if you keep laughing- I ruffled her already messy hair- After all you look much more beautiful like this.
-Don't use my words against me!- she hissed, but she was smiling at me- Thank you Peter... you are a good friend.
-Your welcome. By the way...- I couldn't finish the phrase cause my cell phone rang- Nephew what do you want?!- I asked annoyed when I read Hermes name- That Nico what?! I'm on my way!
-What's wrong?- Ariel asked me worriedly as I was rushing towards the door with her following me.
-My niece is giving birth to premature twins right now- I lied to her, not completely... Nico was giving birth to premature twins right now, but he was my nephew not niece. But who cares about technicalities?
-Oh my God!- she gasped- Hurry then!
Laughing once more I ran towards my chariot, that was disguised as a car by the mist, and drove towards Olympus as fast as I could.
