Aphrodite's POV
"My name is Venus." I smiled so much and I thought I'm showing my whole teeth to them. I'm so glad I arrived on time. Or this stupid guy will be in much danger or embarrassment. I know something bad will happen to him once he confronts this woman.
Well, I knew she's cheating. Because despite what I write about her love life plan, she chooses not to follow all of it. Humans can be so stupid when they are not contented with the good things they got. I feel sorry about this guy. I should prepare good stuff for him in the future.
I'm surprised when I felt his hand on my shoulder. Did he get my plan then? Good.
"Yes, Vera. She's my girlfriend."
Looking up to him, I can see much how affected he is. How sad his eyes look. He really likes this girl. Somehow I feel responsible for this. I did make him fall for her, somehow.
"I-I can't believe you got a new girlfriend so early, William! I didn't expect this!" the woman suddenly raised her voice. To think that her fiancé is there, what does she want now?
"What are you saying? Aren't you engaged to him? Did you even think it's so early?" This guy won't stop either. It's so obvious what he meant. I wanted to drag him outside.
Mr. Fiancée stood up. Holding her waist. "Babe, what's the problem? Is he the jerk ex-boyfriend you were talking about?" What the hell? He called him jerk?
The woman on the other hand finally pulled down to her real world and looks shocked when she looks at his fiancée. "I-it's nothing babe. It's fine."
And it looks like the other guy won't back down. I look at William only to realized he's not backing down either, should I used my power to drag him away? But no, it will catch too much attention.
"Baby, shouldn't we go now? I want to eat something." I insisted on going out now. First; because I hate the smell of this awful place. Second; I really hate my dress right now. And third; I'm really getting irritated with all these humans. Please make up your mind and let's go.
"I don't know what you are up to, marrying someone so early. But you should think about it more seriously. He will be with you forever, for the rest of your life. You need to be sure about your feelings." William is obviously still concern about his ex-girlfriend. Too hard to even look at his serious face now.
"Let's go." He said to me, and I just nodded. This person, he must be so much into her.
As we walk away, Vera suddenly shouts. "You only say that because I easily declined your marriage proposal, right? You can't accept the fact that I said no to you. Admit it, you're still in love with me."
William stops walking, but he never looks back. And I'm behind pissed right now, so I look back at them. "I'm sorry Vera, but we didn't understand what you are saying. Maybe some other time?" I smiled at her so brightly, that even the other guys inside that place swoon over me. Yeah, goddess of love here.
After I successfully irritating Vera, we continued walking.
Now the question is, what will be his reaction?
William's POV
All in all, I really don't understand what just happened. Why this woman saves me or what is she thinking about saving me. I keep on dragging her outside of the bar.
I didn't expect her to walk along with me until she suddenly stops.
When I look around, it's already a deserted place. No people around. Did I seriously brought a girl to a deserted place? What will she think?
"Can you please stop dragging me away? I can walk on my own." Says the woman who just snatches away her hand.
"I-I'm sorry-" I just blurted out.
She's looking more pissed, now that I'm facing her. What is her problem, acting like that? She must be thinking I will do something bad to her. But right, she should be like that.
But before anything, I have to confirm something.
"Why did you do that?" is what slipped on my mouth. I'm so eager to learn how and why did she help me. More importantly, who is she? Just out of nowhere, she suddenly appeared.
"No, thank you? Isn't it a good courtesy to thank someone who helps you?" she said while fixing her long hair and not looking at me.
But she did save me. I could end up fighting that jerk if she didn't appear. But why do I have this feeling that she's madder than me?
"I do thank you for helping me out. But why? And who are you?" I feel a bit impatient, she's looking at me with her bored eyes. It's a bit darker here, but I can see her eyes.
"It's simple. You're about to do a stupid act once again. I just need to be hands-on with my job."
What is she saying? I don't get it.
"What do you even mean?" Who is she really? I'm really confused. She's talking like it's her everyday job to meddle with people's business.
"You're about to ask your ex-girlfriend if that guy is the reason she didn't accept your proposal, right?" she directly points it out. How did she know?
This girl is really weird, right?
"Can you be more specific? How did you even know all of that? Listen, miss, I am seriously asking you. I'm not into games. Stop playing by meddling with people's business!" I can't hide my irritation.
She just smiled at me. "You humans are foolish, thinking you are right every time you open your mouth. And yes, I know everything." He confidently says those words while looking straight at me.
"Who are you?" I said that and suddenly the surroundings stop. The sounds, the people talking in the background, even the sound of the cars from far away. I also noticed that things literally stop.
Everything stops and she's looking at me. Walking towards me.
Am I done for?
Thank you for reading!

Aphrodite's POV I'm pissed, I'm way more irritated. How dare he say those words to me? Me, the Goddess of Love meddling with people's business? If only I can throw away this tiresome job I did eons ago! In the first place, I didn't know why I ran from Mt. Olympus just to save this human from embarrassing himself. I'm tired of rewriting every single plan for him. I don't have time for all of this. I can just introduce myself and then proceed with deleting his memory. I can't really hide my powers to him, am I scaring him so much. I can really see how confused he is. Is he not afraid of me? "What are you? What are you-" he stops talking as soon as I walk towards him. I stopped time, though I can only do that temporarily since grandfather is the god of time. It's just to make an impression on him and he should feel afraid. "Listen to me human, my name is Aphrodite, the Goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, pas
Aphrodite's POV I really can't believe this human. He's waiting for me to give him proof that I'm a goddess. I can just simply rewind to his mind about all his past relationships, but I think it's cruel, right? He's still hurting. Now, how should I prove it? Then I saw a little plant beside his bed. I haven't practice this, but I'm glad Persephone explains how to do it. I extended my hand and I slowly releases my power. I saw how shocked he was when the plant suddenly grows faster. I know, as the goddess of love, vegetation is really not my thing. Indeed I'm the goddess of love but I won't use my power to him. Or would I rather kiss him and make him fall for me? What stupid thinking. "Want me to continue growing the plant? That snake plant is so pretty." He started to look back at me and on the plant. "Are you sure that you are not a witch or something?" Me, a witch? Is he ta
William's POV It's been a day since the guy Hermes visited her. I still can't believe that those things in fantasy books are all true. Greek mythology is not really my interest when I'm still studying. I usually see them in movies or books. I find it weird that I'm looking at the real thing now. Aphrodite is still pissed, I can feel it. She's having a silent battle with herself about what she has to do. So basically, her main problem is me. Fixing me while I'm totally fine. Is that possible? Perhaps something is wrong with me. And I didn't know it. She's still standing beside the open window, her hair is a bit messy and her eyes are fixed looking at the sky. With her serious face, you'll think that she's the goddess of war rather than the goddess of love. Her face says it all. As for me, it's so hard to take it all. I haven't had a proper talk with her, her reasons for intervening that night. She said I'
William’s POV_ Sighed. I hope I calmed the storm. She’s been silent for a while after I said those. And her aura somehow changed a bit. From murderous into a calm ocean I must say. What is she thinking? Are the clothes too much for example? I don’t want to be more specific, like giving myself as an example. I wonder what she is thinking? She might be the goddess of love, but are all her decisions correct? Like what she said, she’s the one forging our love affairs from long ago. Means 75% is her fault when it comes to a failed relationship. In short, she’s inexperienced when it comes to love?Goddess of love but never falls in love.
Aphrodite’s POV That question is very easy, why can’t he answer it? Isn’t it the most asked question ever since? I watched this pitiful man as he squirmed like a girl who can’t choose between a latte or an espresso. He also can’t look straight. Is that so hard to answer? I’m so glad I got my pudding, or I might be in a really bad mood by now. “Well, now that you asked that, actually I don’t know Venus.” I know what I saw right after what he said, it’s a sad smile. His eyes speak louder than his mouth too. “After what happened to me, I think I have to reconstruct my preference. Maybe from long hair, I might go after a short one now, or from taller to a petite. What do you think?” he said without looking at me, but he
Aphrodite’s POV Finally got my hands on my paperwork. And like what I expected, it’s already a lot. I was gone for almost a day and I have stack and stack of papers on my table. Why do humans fall in love in a matter of seconds? Fast!!! I looked at the window and saw how modern the mortal world is. I just noticed how advanced humans are. But still, some of them are scared of finding their soulmates. That’s where I enter the picture. I got a paper on my table right now, so the next human is named Henry Buck. He’s been single for a while but got several flings that I didn’t know. Just to explain it, I don’t decide on flings, that was part of human stupidity to think fling is like love. Disgusting.
Aphrodite’s POV I'M RIGHT! I knew it would be like this!This woman won’t just back down. I got the very shocking news from The Fates, that the woman decided to make another stupid decision. And that is, to get back with William. From the last time I checked she already got a fiance that I didn’t know. And now that she knew that her ex-boyfriend got a pretty girlfriend she decided to intervene? Oh no, you don’t lady. I can’t
