Chapter 5 Aftershock (because Poseidon's God of Earthquakes)

(A/N: I don't do lemons because I rated this T, plus I feel weird writing that stuff AND publishing it.)

Hera's POV

Well, it's not what I expected. What I mean is, being with Poseidon made me feel... happy. Not in love happy, but happier than I was with Zeus. Although that could just be the aftershock of the endorphins. Haha, aftershock, with the God of Earthquakes. Seriously though, I'm not in love with him, it's just that he's kinder to me than Zeus is, and I know I won't have to get hurt if he ever cheats on me, because it's not me he'll be cheating on. Another funny thing to giggle at.

I guess Poseidon noticed me giggling too, because he said, "Are you okay? Because I didn't think I was that bad."

I giggled again and said, "Poseidon, that's not what I'm giggling about that was 2 hours ago. I'm giggling at myself because I'm thinking of jokes like, aftershocks of being with the God of Earthquakes."

He started chuckling. "Sadly, I think that's the first time I've heard that one, and it was pretty funny."

Zeus never laughed at my jokes or thought I was funny. So I gave Poseidon a full-on kiss. (I'm still not in love with him.) He just smiled at me and said, "Why did you do that?"

I said, "Because Zeus never thinks I'm funny or laughs at my jokes."

He smiled and gave me a kiss on the fore-head. Suddenly, we heard a knock on his bedroom door. "Poseidon, I need to speak with you." It was Zeus.

Poseidon suddenly got a scared look on his face and said, "Hera, go into the bathroom until I tell you it's safe to come out."

I said, "Okay." And I got up, grabbed my dress (and other articles of clothing), and ran into the bathroom shutting the door behind me. I heard Poseidon put on the lower half of his clothing and open the bedroom door saying, "What is it you want brother? I was trying to sleep."

Zeus said, "The sun only went down 2 hours ago, and normally you don't go to bed until midnight."

"Yes, well today has been very long because I only left Amphitrity to her mother 4 hours ago, and as you can imagine, she wasn't very nice to me from the time I got there to the time I left." Poseidon countered.

"Fair enough." Zeus said. "But what I wanted to speak with you about was Hera."

I swear to God, if Aphrodite told Zeus about any of this, I will personally murder her. I was going to tell him eventually, but now was not the time.

"What about Hera?" Poseidon asked.

"You see, Hera finally figured out about my affairs, and I haven't seen her since she figured it out, and she seemed fairly angry, so I was wondering..." Zeus was interupted by Poseidon finishing, "if I've seen her?"

I didn't like the way he said finally.

"Exactly." Zeus said.

"Well to tell you the truth, no. I haven't seen Hera since she left saying she was going to see our mother." Poseidon calmly said.

"RHEA?! SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO SEE RHEA?!" Zeus screamed.

"Well I'm assuming that's what she meant by 'our mother'." Poseidon confirmed.

"I'm going to die. Well, I'm off to see 'our mother'." Zeus said, and judging by the flash coming from the other side of the door, I'm assuming he teleported out.

"It's safe to come out now Hera." Poseidon said.

I walked out of the bathroom and sat down on the bed. "Well that should keep him busy for a while." I said with a hint of laughter in my voice.

"I suppose so." He said with a hint of a chuckle in his voice.

I had gotten dressed in the bathroom while I was listening to Zeus and Poseidon's conversation. I decided it was time to go. "Well, I must go now. See you soon Poseidon." I said.

"See you soon Hera." He said as he gave me a peck on the forehead. I said, "Thank you." And gave him a peck on the cheek.

"Your welcome." He said.

And I left for my palace on Olympus.
