Chapter XVII

Vanessa

The day of the picnic was exceptionally wonderful, even for my town's standards. There were clouds in the sky so fluffy, they almost looked to be made of cotton candy and the blueness didn't seem real. Even the weather man on the television was shocked at how perfect the weather was for the weekend. He urged everyone to get out if they could, and on this Saturday that's what I was going to be doing.

The very thought of spending such a beautiful afternoon with my hunky, immortal neighbor had my stomach fluttering with both fear and excitement. Unfortunately, I had nothing ‘normal’ to wear, since Nemesis revamped my wardrobe. So, I opted for the lesser of evils and wore a leather black catsuit, then draped a sheer, purple tunic over it. It was the only article of clothing I kept, because it was a gift from Willa. Even though at the time, I was angry with her, I couldn't give it up. There wasn't much more I could do with what I wore.

I waited downstairs. The clock chimed two o'clock, the knock on my door came and my heart hammered as I slowly made my way over to open it. Hand on the doorknob I took a deep, calming breath. I told myself that this would be nothing more than a friendly outing with a gigantically, hot, hunk of man-god. With a quick yank, I flung open the door and froze at the sight of Hephaestus, in all his glory, standing before me.

He smiled down at me, looking shy and adorable while maintaining his handsome, ruggedness that made my heart skip several beats. He was dressed in a pair of worn jeans which rode low on his hips, and my mouth watered at the thought of slowly peeling them off to devour every inch of skin exposed to my greedy eyes. The orange coloring of his shirt was more like the burning flames of a bonfire, the hue accentuating his fiery eyes, and I was glad to see he still didn’t conceal his real eyes from me.

In one hand, he held a brown wicker basket with a blue gingham cloth peeking out the top.

I had to hold back my laughter at how miniscule it looked in his grasp. Yet, there was something sweet about how a man of his size who had no problems being seen, carrying an object that most guys would object to. It was then I noticed that he hid his other hand behind his back. I immediately figured he had the cliché bouquet of flowers. Allergic to most species, I was going to feel bad about starting our lunch with a rejection to a gift.

His gorgeous eyes sparkled at me with mischief as though he had read my thoughts. He revealed that instead of flowers, he possessed a wooden box, with a blue ribbon on top. “This is for you, Vanessa. Eros suggested flowers, but I hate harming any living thing. Even plants.”

“That's good, actually. I sneeze around the things, so it’s best to keep them in their place.
