• I nodded. Okay, so Aphrodite was the name of Ares's mysterious girlfriend. I noticed she had a shining band of gold around one of her fingers. A wedding ring. Did that mean Ares was dating a married woman? Bad idea, Ares.
    "Nice name." I said, not really knowing what to say to the beautiful woman. "Uh...how old are you anyway? And is that a wedding ring around your finger?"
    She glared at me. Just taking a guess here, but somehow I think that I shouldn't have even asked those questions. I tried to keep calm. She walked over to me and tilted my chin up.
    "My age is known of your business. Neither is the fact that I have a ring on my finger. However, I believe you are probably no older than fourteen." she trilled with cold eyes and smirk.
    I scowled. I hated it when people said I looked younger than I was. I was nineteen but I had a childish face. I couldn't help it!
    "I am nineteen. I just have a child-like face. I can't being born what I look like." I said to her, trying to refrain from punching her for those words.
    She smirked in a know-it-all, you-know-I'm-much-better-than-you fashion.
    "I see. Well, it is just one of your many flaws." Aphro-dummy remarked imperiously.
    I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists. "Such as?" I questioned through clenched teeth.
    Aphro-dummy could see I was getting mad, and she was enjoying it. Her lips curved up into a smile.
    "Your breasts are rather small, your hair is plain and hardly taken care of, of course we already addressed your childish face, you have scars right along your jaw, on your arm, and on your hands, and have three pockmarks on your forehead." she explained, poking me in the middle of my forehead as she explained each flaw.
    "I'm a B cup, okay. And you're not perfect either. You're probably a Z-cup through plastic surgery and have probably had a face lift too. Actually, make that fifteen face lifts. You probably pile on forty tons of make-up and look like a clown. I bet you look like hell took a barf and then a s**t when you wake up in the morning." I snapped, losing my temper, which was a pretty short one.
    Aphro-dummy glared at me. "Your tongue is also too sharp and your temper too short. What a male, man or god, could ever possibly see in you is beyond me." she scowled with raised eyebrows.
    I should have just shut my mouth right then. But I just couldn't. While my mind told me to shut up, my big mouth had other ideas.
    "You pluck your eyebrows too?" I retorted with a smirk.
    She threw me a seething glare. Aphro-dummy turned around. I smirked proudly. I had gotten the last word.
    "You're not even fit for a pig to marry." she insulted with an arrogant sniff.
    Then I did probably the stupidest thing I had ever done in my entire life. My blood boiled and my hands were itching to break something. So I ran after Aphro-dummy and turned her around. Then I punched her as hard as I could right in the nose. Instead of blood running down her nose, I saw some strange gold, blood-like substance. She fell to the ground and glared at me.
    "HOW DARE YOU STRIKE THE GODDESS OF LOVE?!!!!!!!! THE GODS SHALL HEAR ABOUT THIS!!!!!" she screeched angrily, then suddenly disappeared.
    I shook my head. What the hell had just happened?!
