Chapter Ten

It's been about a century since the angels became gods. Each civilization has kept close bonds with each other. They all live in peace and harmony.

"Hades! Where are you?" Persephone yells from the front door, "If you want to make it to Zeus's party on time we have to go now,"

"I'm coming darling!" Hades calls back as he runs down the stairs, "Wait I need my phone!"

"I have it already let's go!" she calls as she tosses him the keys, "You're driving!"

He catches the keys and follows her to the car. He pauses for a moment to admire his amazing wife. He watches her gorgeous blonde hair disappear into the car.

She reaches over and honks the car horn, snapping her husband out of his daydream.

"I'm coming, Princess! I'm coming!" he shouts at the car.

He hops into the car and runs his fingers through his hair, "You ruined it," Persephone scoffs, "let me fix it."

He leans his head over so that she can reach his hair and fixes it, "All done, now drive! We are going to be late."

He drives out of the driveway and merges onto the highway to Olympus, the sunset colouring the clouds a darker shade of purple.

"I can feel you staring at me," Hades chuckles, and glances over.

Persephone blushes and looks away, "I was not, your instincts are off," she mutters under her breath.

"What was that darling? I didn't quite catch that?" He playfully moves his head closer.

Persephone leans in to whisper to him, "I said," she pauses and nips his ear playfully, then says loud and clear, "you're an idiot."

He winces at the loud voice in his ear and Persephone covers her mouth to stifle a laugh.

Hades smiles glancing at her briefly, "so you remind me, almost daily," he lays a hand on her leg.

She covers his hand with hers admiring her wedding ring. The diamond in the center the same bright blue as her eyes.

"Hey Hades!" he glances over to indicate he's listening, "I know I love you," she says to him smiling.

"Hey Persephone," he says staring at the road, "I know that I still haven't stopped, rapidly falling in love with you."
