Chapter 19 - Eat

"Good morning baby" Athena heard a voice say to her when she opened her eyes

"Deimos," she said and smiled

"Seems like soon it's going to be a big day, you finally get to be Deimos' wife again," he said to her

"I hope this Deimos does not leave me like the other did" Athena said

"I was wrong, it's all my fault and I'm sorry," he said and gave her a peck on the lips

"You better make up for it," she said to him as she smiled

"I know my love, I wish I could talk all day, but it's time for you to work up" Deimos said to her

"No, don't leave me, Deimos please don't leave me" she said, but he had already left.

Athena opened her eyes and Deimos was in front of her with a bucket of water and a towel

"Deimos?" Athena called out his name

"I'm here my love," he said to her and smiled

"What are you doing?" she asked him

"You were sweating so I was cooling you a bit" he said raising the towel and bucket

"Thank you," she told him

"You know I'll never leave you right?" Deimos asked her

"Yes I know" Athena answered and smiled at him

"Now you need to get up and eat," he told her as he put the bucket away

"I'm not hungry," she told him and closed her eyes

"Won't you eat just a little?"Deimos asked her

"No, I'm not hungry, but I do want to sleep," Athena said

"Could you sleep later, we have things to do my dear, tomorrow is our wedding after all"

"I know" she replied and finally sat up looking at her fiance who looked at her with nothing but love in his eyes

"We still have to talk about our attire," Deimos said to his wife

"I'm in charge of that, it's all sorted," Athena said

"What about my measurements?" Deimos asked shyly

"I have my way, I could have measured you as you slept, but right now Deimos I need my rest, I plan to paint the Empire red tonight" she said and got back inside the blankets leaving Deimos clueless

"What do you mean, who will you be killing?" he asked, but there was no response from Athena so he ended up letting it be

A few hours later

"So are we going to talk about this morning?" Deimos asked for the 10th time that day

"Deimos, I suggest that you pay attention to trying your attire on rather than asking me the same question over and over again. There is a time and place for everything and this time should be used to make me happy by trying on my design" Athena said as she held his cheek whilst smiling

"Okay," Deimos said and smiled back at her

"Good, now go on and change" Athena said and went to sit down
