Argea pov

I went to the table Luke sat down at. "I'm sorry for bumping in to you earlier." He said.

Earlier

Loki pov

"Odin why?" I asked the man I knew as my father. "To ally us with the Olympians." He said. I was mad alright. Odin arranged for me to marry Hades and Persephone's daughter, Arga or something like that.

I stormed to the Bifrost. "Loki what is troubling you?" the keeper of the Bifrost said. "Odin has arranged a marriage between me and an Olympian." I chewed the words. "I can take you where you will find what you need. " He said. "Alright." I said.

The Bifrost, or rainbow bridge as some mortals know it as, took me to a city in Midgard. I was trying to figure out where I was when I knocked a girl over. "Watch where you're..." she said looking up. Her eyes were a beautiful chocolate brown with a little gold in them. "So sorry." I helped her up. I felt a small pain in my rear but I didn't care. All that mattered was her beautiful hair and eyes. "I'm Gina." she said. "I'm Luke. Wanna get a coffee?" I said, I didn't want her to know I was a god. "Sure." She said.

The mortal girl seemed to know Gina. "Hey Gina. The usual I guess. What will you have?" she asked. I read Gina's head and ordered her favorite "a vente mocha, extra milk." the girl gave Gina a look like wow. I inwardly smiled and went to get us a table. I saw my reflection in the window. Good Odin I look awful. I made my black hair neater.

"I'm sorry for bumping into you earlier." I said as she came over. "It's alright." she said. " You have the most beautiful eyes." I said. She blushed.

Argea pov

"Thank you." I said. I was blushing and I never ever blushed. Eros I swear I'll kill you. Only a few things can kill a god. A dagger forged in tartarus, the keys of death and a shot from Artemis or Apollo's bow. "Something wrong." Luke asked. "No" I lied quickly. Was he getting on to me? Aphrodite please don't let him reject me. I looked into his bright blue eyes.

"You're really pretty." Luke said. My heart melted. My phone buzzed. I saw a message from Hermes. Killjoy.

hey listen Zeus knows he's mad just warning you

Hermes

thank you

Argea

I gave him my phone number. He smiled. I beamed. I went to my apartment and called Hermes.

"Yeah he's mad." Hermes said. "How long do I have?" I asked nervously. "Three hours or days if I can stall him." He said. " You're the best." I said. "I know." he said and hung up.

My phone rang. "Hello." I said. "Hey it's Luke." He said. My heart hammered. "How are you?" I asked shyly. "Good you?" He asked. "Great." I said. "Uh-oh. Got to go. Great to hear your voice." He hung up.

Luke pov

"Loki you are going to be married. You can't just fall in love with other girls." Odin said. "I can't help it. I feel normal around her." I said. As normal as I could be. I was a frost giant. Odin took me as a child. "Loki you're meeting her next week. don't see the human until after you meet the goddess you will marry." Odin said.

How dare he! It's time I took matters into my own hands. I took the Bifrost to a cottage on Midgard. "I don't know what to do I really like Luke but Zeus insists I marry the Asgardian," Gina said. What! Gina was the goddess I was to marry. "A. you have to tell Luke." Hecate said. "I can't. It'll break his heart. Besides, what would I say? I'm a Greek goddess and I'm forced to marry a Norse god. No, he'll laugh at me like they did. Or he'll run screaming. " She said crushed. I wanted to walk in there to tell her That Luke was the Asgardian she was to marry. "What do you want Loki?" Hecate snapped. "I need a favour," I said. "You're welcome. I'll explain later." She said. I saw Gina's eyes, red now, full of anguish.

I couldn't wait to meet Gina as a goddess. "You're in a good mood," Sif said. "You can't tell Odin but the mortal I love is the goddess I am forced to marry," I said. Sif's jaw dropped and her jaw never dropped. "Loki it's time," Frigga said. I put on a solemn face and went to meet the goddess.

Gina looked stunning. She had a black dress that accented her hourglass figure. Her eyes were a beautiful purple and her raven hair came down to her waist. She took my breath away. "I'm Argea how do you do?" she said quickly. "I'm Loki it's a pleasure to meet you," I said. She looked into my eyes like she was trying to remember something. The room cleared. "Do you want to go to the courtyard?" I asked. "Sure," she said.

Argea pov

We went into the beautiful courtyard. Loki was charming but he reminded me of someone. Someone I didn't want to think about. "Is something wrong?" Loki asked. "No," I said. "Then why are you crying?." he looked concerned. I hadn't realized I was crying. "It's not you. It's just I fell in love with a mortal and Zeus won't let me out of the marriage to be with him. The same god who has had infinite lovers and a wife." I said. "I know how you feel. Asgardians cannot marry mortals. I fell in love with a wonderful girl. You know I tried to convince Odin to let me marry a mortal girl I took from Midgard a long time ago." He said. "On Olympus, we can marry whoever we want to. Did you know the Trojan War was caused by Eris, goddess of discord? Eris was mad she wasn't invited to a wedding of a goddess and a mortal so she threw an apple that said to the fairest. Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite were the three Paris had to choose from. I'm boring you aren't I?" I said. "No, I actually find it interesting." He said.

Hades pov

My daughter fell in love with a mortal. I'm glad she had her mother's common sense. I would have dragged him to the Underworld. She seemed to be getting along with Loki. She cried over her lost love Loki comforted her. I hope she can learn to love him. I hated my brother for arranging the match. "Why Zeus?" I whispered. "Blame Demeter. She made me. she wanted her daughter to have grandchildren." Zeus said. I glared at him. "I'm sorry, brother." He said. "You will be," I growled.

Argea pov

Hermes came to visit me. Hermes was tall and handsome. "Loki told to give you this." He said. It was a necklace. With a beautiful pendant of each of the Norse, Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Hindu gods in their own time. First Aphrodite then Hermes then me then Loki. I put it on and knew their stories. "Tell him I said. Thank you." I turned around Hermes was gone.

I met Luke at Frick Park. It's very pretty in the winter. "Hey, Gina," Luke said. Luke looked a lot like Loki. Hmm... I wonder. Naw. "Hi, Luke," I said. "Gina I know we've just met but I love you." He said. He pulled me into a kiss. It felt like we were the only two people in the world. I heard someone clear their throat. We broke apart. "How could you?" Loki said. Shit. Loki didn't even wait for an answer he ran as I feared Luke would. " Who was that?" Luke demanded. "Luke I...I can't tell you." I said. I ran crying not paying attention to where I was going. I ended up in my apartment.

I laid on the floor in a ball till Athena came. "My dear child. Why do you give in?" she said. "I've lost the only thing in Pandora's box left," I said. "Argea, sweet Argea. don't despair. I'm sure everything will turn out fine. I trained you. By the way, the mortal you love is being attacked by Loki." Athena said. What! I got up, grabbed my Tartus dagger and went to Frick Park where I left Luke.

"Don't ever try to take her from me!" Loki said. Crap. "I didn't know. I swear she never told me." Luke said. "Loki Luke never knew. I didn't tell him. He's the mortal I fell in love with." I said stepping out from behind a tree. Loki's eyes lit up. "Leave him alone." I used one of my dad's tricks, the wind stopped howling the animals ran off.
