Chapter 77
Thor and I settled into couple life fairly quickly. We worked out a system where I spend three nights at his house, he spends three nights at mine, and then he leaves so I can have the seventh day to myself. Hey isn't it like some kinda god rule to rest on the seventh day? I was only being considerate of his culture. Yeah, okay, I admit I just really need a day to myself every once in awhile. I tell him, "Baby, how can I miss you, if you never leave?"Thor really hates that line.
The arrangement is perfect, though. It gives me time to be home and take care of my housework and plants as well as a day alone to paint and actually make a living. Thor scoffs at my desire for money; telling me over and over that he'll handle any financial needs I have. I told him to shove it where the lightning don't strike.
Persephone and Hades must be doing well too because nobody's heard from them in awhile. No news is good news. Last we did hear; they had bought a vacation home in Hawaii Kai; an ultra posh neighborhood across the island from me. So, maybe they're just taking their time getting settled in.
Teharon's a source of strength as much as Pan is a source of amusement. I don't think either will ever change, and I wouldn't want them to. Horus and I are growing on each other like mold, but I catch him smiling at me every once in awhile so I think it's a good mold. The kind you can make into penicillin.
Mr. T and Mrs. E are trying to bring their son over from the dark side, but I've yet even to meet Nayenezgani, so I think the chances of that happening are about as good as the chances of Brahma ever being faithful to Sarasvati. Who I still haven't met either, by the way.
Things with Trevor have been going smoothly. He's respectful of Thor and keeps his touching to a minimum. Thor, in turn, respects Trevor's right to keep breathing. The two very different magical beasts inside of me, my jaguar and Trevor's wolf, have seemed to reach an accord as well. I wouldn't say it's exactly harmonious in there, but at least they're not fighting like cats and dogs.
Although, I still have my concerns over being in a relationship with an immortal, life is pretty great. I'm no longer being stalked by werewolves or hunted by a psycho love goddess. There haven't been any more vampire killings or dream visits from a crazy Aztec god either and when I checked in on him, Blue seemed to have given up on his plan to launch Russia into war. Maybe the thing with Aphrodite has given him a fresh perspective, or maybe my new connection to the Froekn is a deterrent. Either way, all is quiet and peaceful. I'm wallowing in the serenity; knowing that it won't last. If there is anything I've learned from dating a god of lightning, it's that there's only one thing that follows a calm... a storm.
