Hi everyone! Welcome to Tuesday Tales! This week is a picture prompt. We’re jumping ahead with Athena and Mack in the second book of The Gods of DC Series, Love and War. Click here to check out the other amazing Tuesday Tales. *Warning - there are adult situations and language.** She glanced at the sitting room across the hall when she heard a fit of giggles. All she saw was a foot dangling over the back of the couch with a flip flop dangling precariously off a baby pink manicured big toe.
Demeter scurried back with a tray and placed it in the middle of the table between the two women. A carafe and a decadent chocolate cake topped with strawberries sat in the middle surrounded by two mugs, plates, forks, a bowl of sugar and a small pitcher of cream. Athena took a mug and filled it with the dark, hot liquid. She doctored it with a little cream then took a sip. She watched as Demeter cut each of them a slice of cake then scooped it onto the plates. She pointed to the sitting area. “Seems Persephone is busy on her phone. Is she texting friends?” Demeter took a sip of her own brew with a snarl. “No. She’s texting her husband. The old coot finally gave up his flip phone for a smartphone.” Athena bit back a laugh. “Dad finally talked Hades into bracing modern technology?” “Persephone did so they could message each other all the time. Granted, I think he did it out of revenge also.” Athena frowned at her confused. “How so?” Demeter gave her a sly smile behind her cup. “I have a tendency to have five hour mother/daughter chats with Persephone during the winter. Every day. I guess Hades gets a little irritated with that.” Athena chuckled. “Can’t imagine why.” Demeter took a sip of coffee then set her mug on the table to pass Athena a piece of cake. “So what was it that you wanted me to take a look at?”
