Hey everyone!
Have fun reading my latest chapter and please review later to tell me how you feel.
If you haven't already, please also read my best friend's fanfic- The Misadventures of a Bald Emo.
The Adventures of a Lovesick Idiot: Silence
"No she doesn't."
Raised eyebrow.
"She doesn't."
Raised eyebrows.
"She doesn't"
Knowing look.
"Does not."
Intense knowing look.
"Does not."
"She totally does."
"Prove it."
Aphrodite made a duck-face. "I can't believe that I have to make two long distance calls in one day…" she complained disdainfully.
It seemed like she quickly changed her mind and heroically said, "It's for love's sake!"
Aphrodite waved her glamorous hand through the air and created a foggy image of Calypso.
"I told you he loved you," Aphrodite taunted.
"That doesn't prove anything. He's acting. He's faking."
"Are you sure, honey? You can't fake true love. Love conquers all. And that is why I'm the goddess of love," Aphrodite explained.
"And I didn't understand anything you just said because I am not the goddess of love," Calypso countered. She frowned and started twirling her hair. She looked like she really wasn't sure if Aphrodite was right about her love "vibes".
Aphrodite raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"Trust me, I am an expert on love. Do you think that a goddess of love such as myself wouldn't know if two young souls have intimate feelings towards each other? If I was clueless, do you honestly believe that I could possibly be such a successful major goddess?"
Calypso slightly twitched her lips into a smile. The operative word being slightly.
"I'm five thousand."
Aphrodite gave an 'are you kidding me?' look.
"Please don't be snooty with me."
"Well, how do you know that Leo loves me, hmm? He doesn't even understand the relationship between us! He even asked me what he was worth to me?! If he truly loved me, then he would know what I felt about him?!" Calypso ranted.
The next five minutes were completely filled with Calypso's outrageous ranting so I won't bore you with the details.
"Calypso, sweetie. Let me tell you this, even someone who wasn't a goddess of love would be capable of seeing the chemistry between you two. Are you seriously going to waste all that precious affection just because of one thing he said?" Aphrodite asked Calypso.
Calypso bit her lower lip and thought about thought about it carefully.
"Fine, what do I have to do?"
Aphrodite grinned.
"I told you so! You love him. All you have to do is turn on that TV and talk to him."
Calypso then seemed to realise what she had just said.
"Just so you know, I'm not doing this because I love him. It's because I can't stand you here on my island ranting about the properties of true love, okay?"
"Stop making excuses. I knew you would see the reality, now go and talk to Leo Valdez!" Aphrodite smirked.
"So you're the evil mastermind behind Operation Love?" Leo asked.
"Of course not, Leo! Operation Love?! That is an utterly stupid name! I call it, Operation Caleo. See? Calypso and Leo make Caleo! I am such a genius! I call them: ship names. Like Percabeth, Frazel and Jasper! My favourite ship name is Arodite. It's Ares and Aphrodite! You see?"
Leo rolled his eyes. 'Goddesses these days,' he thought.
"What are you still doing here Leo? Calypso should be on the television any minute now. Why don't you go talk to her now and sort it out with her? You don't need to thank me. Toodles!" Aphrodite called out graciously as she disintegrated.
Leo was planning to thank the goddess but where she used to be standing was nothing but thin air.
"Gee, thanks," Leo said to no one in particular.
"So…"
"So…"
"Hi…"
"Hi…"
"This is awkward…"
"I know…"
"So… uh, how's life?"
"Uneventful…"
"Aphrodite put you up to this?"
"Yup."
"So we have her to thank for this?"
"Yeah…"
"She said," Leo said while Calypso said, "I think."
"You first," the two of them said in unison.
"Kay," Leo said while Calypso said, "Oh, sure…"
This time, Leo stayed silent just in case Calypso going was going to say anything.
On the other hand, Calypso didn't say a word either because she knew Leo would be the type to say something immediately due to his ADHD.
And so began the never-ending silence.
Thanks for reading, everyone!
BRING ON THE FLAMES, COS UNCLE LEO'S HERE!
