Chapter 10: Even Aphrodite Doesn't Even Know

Teresa's POV

I was sitting on the porch with Nico. Telling him what I did with Apollo.

He didn't say anything just listen. When I was done he put his arm around my waist.

"That sounds like fun. I wish I could have been the one to take you there."

He sounded a bet sad. I put my head on his shoulder.

"Its ok Nico. He was just trying to get in my pants."

Nico tighten his grip on me.

"Did he get in them?"

I smiled at him.

"No he didn't. I wouldn't let him do that. When I have you."

He looked at me.

"That's good. If you did I would understand."

I pulled away to look at him.

"Nico if I wanted him then I wouldn't be here with you."

He had that look on his face.

"He's a God and I'm just a son of Hades."

He was going gloomy on me.

"Nico! I don't give a rat ass if he is a God or not. I like you for who you are. If I wanted a God for a boyfriend then I would have took back my ex."

I said as I got up and walked off. I was upset that he didn't trust me.

"Teresa wait!"

Nico yell behind me. I didn't look back at him. I was heading for the beach. Before I could get into the water. Nico grabbed my hand.

"Please wai-"

He stopped talking when he saw tears running down my face.

"P-p-please Nico. . .L-l-let g-g-go."

I stammered. But Nico didn't let go.

"If I do then I might not get to see you again. If I let go now and I wont let you go ever."

More tears ran down my face. Then he pulled me into a hug so I could cry into his shoulder.

We sank to our knees in the sand. I didn't know how long we were there.

Till Nico's stomach started to growl. I pulled away laughing and Nico's face was a little red.

"Sorry I didn't eat all day. Cause I was so worried about you."

Now my face was red.

"Will let go to dinner."

I said and he helped me up.

"Your eyes are red."

He said as we walked to the Dinning pavilion holding hands. Before we went to our tables he kisses my cheek.

.

When I got to the table dad and Percy was there.

"Why is your eyes so red?"

Percy said as I started to put food on my plate.

"I rather not talk about it."

I said but as I looked up. I saw past Percy to the tables behind them.

Apollo was looking at me smiling.

Why is he smiling at me?

I thought to my self. Then I looked over at Nico he had his back towards me. Hazel was smiling so was there father Hades him self. Dad was just looked at me. "You are starting to creep me out Poseidon."

I said as I took a big bit of food.

"Sorry but I just wonder why your eyes are so red. I know you been crying but I don't know why."

My face went a little pink.

"Can I cry with out you guys asking questions?"

I asked them. They both looked worried.

"We just worry about you. You are family."

Said Percy as he smiled at me.

"I know you guys worry but you don't need to."

I said as I put a smile on my face. Then I went back on eating.

.

After dinner we sat around the camp fire. I was sitting between Nico and Hades. Hades kept looked at us. Nico had his hand on my knee with my hand on top of his.

Then Hades lend over to me and whispered into my ear.

"May I talk to you Teresa alone?"

I nodded my head.

"I be right back Nico."

I said as I got up and left. Then Hades came and I followed him into the woods. Then he stopped and looked at me.

"Do you really care for my son?"

He said.

"Yes I do Lord Hades very much."

He didn't seem like he believed me.

"He is the only one that I want. Nico is not like the guys I know. He is the one want to spend the rest of my life with."

He smiled at little.

"How do you know that you are the right one for him?"

I didn't get what he was getting at.

"I don't know how I know. I can just feel it. It feels so right when I'm with him." Hades nodded his head.

"What if your not might to be with him. Then what are going to do?"

I looked up at the little bit of sky that I could see.

"I guess I would grief for a while then move on with my life I guess."

Hades chuckled a little.

"That's noble of you Teresa. But why would you do that for?"

I closed my eyes.

"Cause all I want is for Nico to be happy. Any child of yours and even you deserve to be happy."

When I looked back at him he had this look on his face. It was shock then he smiled.

"Why would you want us to be happy for?"

I smiled at him.

"Cause every one deserves to be happy."

Was all I said.

"You are right but don't hurt my son. Cause if you do when you die I will make sure you will pay for it."

I nodded my head and left.

.

As I was walking back to the camp fire I saw Aphrodite. She was alone and it was looked like she was waiting for me.

"Hello Lady Aphrodite. I wanted to ask you something if that's ok with you?" She smiled at me.

"Sure sugar lets go for a walk. And don't worry about Nico I told him I was going to talk to you."

I nodded and followed her to the beach.

"What did you want to ask me love?"

She said in a sweet voice.

"I don't know how to ask this. You are the Goddess of Love. You know who is going to be with. Is Nico my soul mate?"

The beautiful smile that was on her face faded.

"I seen you with Nico and I think you guys make the cuties couple. But I really don't know if you two are."

I looked at her in disbelieve.

"You are the Goddess of Love you suppose to know this kind of stuff. I really want to make this work."

I had tears in my eyes.

"I don't want to lose him."

I sobbed. She put had arm around me.

"I'm guessing you have more then one guy you in love with or they are in love with you. That's the only reason I can think of why I don't know who you will end up with."

I sat down.

"If I have to pick then I want Nico."

I said but she just patted my shoulder.

"You can say that but the others have to give you up. Then I will know for sure." Then she got up and left. I just sat there in the sat.

Till I felt someone sat next to me. It was Nico I put my head on his arm.

"So what did you and the Goddess of Love talk about?"

I rubbed my face into his leather jacket.

"I just needed to find out about something."

He pulled me closer to him.

"How did that go?"

I looked up at him.

"I really don't know. But I need to ask you something."

I said and tears started to run down my face. Nico looked worried at me.

"This is just a what if question. What if we aren't might to be with each other?" He pulled my on to his lap.

"We are might for each other. I can feel it. But what brought that up in the first place?"

I kissed his lips. I didn't know if I should tell me.

"Its nothing Nico and I want to tell you that I love you."

I said as I pulled away. He smiled at me.

"I love you to Teresa."

Then he picked me up and took me to my cabin. I kissed him one more time then headed for bed.

I was so tired but I didn't know that things was going to get worse.
