Love?

"Tada" Mark cheered as he laid the hot plates in-front of me on the table."There you go".He gave me a spoon and a napkin. "Come on dig in. Enjoy." He sat in-front of me , giving me the spoons. I smiled as I looked at what he cooked. "They look delicious!" I looked at the plate of pancakes that was right in front of me. There were sprinkles of chocolate on it as well as some syrup.

"Are you going to keep on looking at me while I eat?" he laughed crossing his hands over his chest. "Why ? Are you shy?" He laughed as he kept his eyes on me. "You- I just feel uncomfortable" He laughed once again. "Okay okay" He averted his eyes to his phone as he scrolled through it. "You can eat in peace now." I smiled thanking him.

Soon enough the morning came. I'm not so sure if I was in my right mind , but I asked him to stay over.

Well , it was quite late for him to leave. Even if he lives right beside me.... Right?

It was currently 8.30 am , I had a class at 11 so I could leave later. I get out of my room to see Mark sleeping soundly on the sofa. A smile unwillingly grew on my face as I looked at him. It's weird how a person I barely met a few weeks ago , has this impact on me. It's been a long while since I felt happy to be accompanied by someone. I took a few steps forward , now around two steps away from him.

Why is my heart beating this fast?

No, it can't be l-

"Why did you wake up now? It's still early." He flashed his smile as he ruffled his hair to the back . "Ahh" He sighed stretching his hands upwards then to the back.

love?

He got up ruffling my hair this time. "Did you sleep well?" He asked as he tidied up where he was sleeping.

Do I really like him?

"Are you still sleepy? Is this why you are not answering?" He laughed turning around looking at me.

Is this how love feels?

"Go back to sleep . I'll wake you up before your class." He held me by my shoulders taking me back to my room. "Here. Don't worry I'll wake you up before it's time." I nodded as I laid down on my bed.

My first time liking someone...

He put the blanket on me covering my whole body. "Goodnight again." He chuckled tugging me in carefully and leaving.

...but i don't know what I should do , neither am I sure of my feelings.

AT MOUNT OLYMPUS

"VICTORY!" Shouts and screams were heard from all the land. They won. After hours and hours of war, The gods finally won.

Zeus walked over to Luce who was now looking 'not in his best form' you could say. "Don't say anything" Luce spat angrily. "I don't want to hear any of those sweet for nothing words. I lost this time, but I'll be back."

"Back?" Zeus laughed raising an eyebrow as he deeply looked at Luce.

"You won't be leaving for you to come back." Zeus stated which made Luce frown. "What do you mean?" He asked unsure .

"Guards" Zeus shouted and four well built guards were seen rushing to him. "Take him." No more words were needed for the guards to understand what was demanded . Two of them held Luce as the other two made sure he was not going to escape by walking at the back.

"NO." Luce groaned as he tried in vain to escape. "You have no right." He kept on shouting and screaming as well as cursing the gods. But they all acted as if they were not hearing him . "You all are going to pay for this." He shouted at last before one of the guards tied up his mouth as he muffled some unknown words.

At the same time as this was happening, the rest of the guards were taking care of Luce's army. Luce was to be put in prison. Four guards will be kept beside his cell as well as two others at the outer door of the cell. Great surveillance will be made of-course. While his army will be put in regular cells at the moment.

Zeus moved forward to the stage of mount Olympus that was a few meters away from where the war was taking place.

"I know you all are tired. I would like to thank each and every one of you for what you have done today. Without you , we would not have won this war and evil would have reigned . Everyone will be given a reward soon. I am sorry for any inconvenience that may have occurred to any one of you or your loved ones , in terms of wounds, slices... and may you all live in good health. The meeting rooms of all the main gods will be open for the following 48 hours for any one of you that needs any help in the war damages. Thank you all."

With that being said, everyone cheered , even the wounded . Through their pain they kept on smiling , knowing they did this for the good of the people.

"We did it."
