The Queen Gorgon

Chapter Eight

I leaned into her lip and right as she went in for a kiss, I kissed her cheek and walked off. I went down to the kitchen and saw Hades and Persephone in the kitchen. They made a huge mess. I smelt something burning. I go in and see that they are burning a piece of bread, then it caught on fire!

I quickly grabbed a cover pushing them out of the way covering the fire and moved it off the heat.

"You had it too high and used olive oil in the pan. First olive oil has a high smoke point, use butter or vegetable oil next time. Second, If a fire like this happens, cover it up." I stated a matter of factly as they both stared at me.

I walked off closing my noise. The burning smell gave me a headache and made me feel sick, especially the eggs. I hate eggs. I only like them in cake. Medusa comes down, cover her nose too.

"What the hell did y'all do?! I told you both last time you can't cook, because the same thing happened!" Medusa said, getting upset. She came over to me and sat next to me on the couch.

"You are in trouble. How dare you walk away from me! You can't tease me like that and not even give me a kiss." She said, pulling me into her lap. I straddled her and she looked into my eyes. She grabbed my face and pulled me to her. She looked in my eyes, asking permission to kiss me. I nodded my head. She leaned in and kissed me on my lips. I kissed her back. Her lips were so soft and warm. She pulled me more in. We kissed what felt like forever, then we both pulled away. I smiled at her and cuddled into her chest. She played with my hair. Hades and Persephone cleaned the kitchen then joined us in the living room.

"So are we going to have a party?! I would love to plan!" Persephone says, almost squealing like a child over it.

Medusa looked at me and asked me if I would like to have a party. I shrugged my shoulders and replied with a 'why not'. Persephone practically jumped around like a child. Hse started blabbing about everything we needed to do and what the theme would be. I tuned her out.

I just cuddled close to Medusa and she played with my hair. It was around 9am and I was getting hungry. I felt it would be best that someone else did the cooking instead. So I left Medusa's side and went into the kitchen. I think that omelets for everyone and a fruit bowl for me was good enough and fast.

I started cutting up different vegetables. I cracked some eggs mixing them up real good, we don't want any white part. Needs to be perfect. I whisked and whisked the eggs till my arm hurt. I added a little milk and salt. Need them fluffy and a little flavor.

I grabbed a skillet and added vegetables letting them saute. I then added the egg mixture I made and let it cook, lifting the egg and letting the uncooked parts go under to cook. I then flipped it when most of it was cooked. I then added cheese and folded it over, covering it for a few seconds to let the cheese melt. I plated them and brought them to the table once all were finished. I then cut up fruit and made a bowl for myself.

Since everyone was in the living room, I put the plates on my arm like I had to do in the dinner. I went into the living room and added all of them onto the table that was in the middle. They all gasped and thanked me. I forgot the forks so I went back and grabbed them with my bowl of fruit.

They all dug into their food. Everyone enjoyed it, having smiles on their faces.

"How did you learn to cook?" Hades asked me. I was surprised that he spoke. He seems very quiet.

"I learned to cook when I was really young. I would go over to my grandmother's house and she would teach me new things. It was really hard when I lost her. I remember she had a cookbook in German and helped me read it. I also learned stuff from my culinary class and food nutrition classes." I said tearing up remembering all the good memories I had with her before she passed away. Medusa pulled me into her lap and kissed my cheek. I blinked away the tears in my eyes.

"For the party, could it be for me also getting the immortal shot?" I asked. Medusa looked at me unsure.

"Love, you don't have to get the shot if you aren't ready.' Medusa said, trying to reassure me. I shook my head.

"No, I want to get it." I told her truthfully. She nodded her head and hugged me.

"Alright love, we can do that. We can go speak to a doctor to figure out what's the best option, okay?" Medusa told me. I nodded my head.

"Then its decided! A celebration to meet and become an immortal party!" Persephone announced. All her children were downstairs and they all smiled.

The day went pretty chill. Persephone called all of her and Medusa's friends to come over for a party tomorrow. It was a busy day planning. Tomorrow will be the day. The day I meet all gods and goddesses that are powerful, The day I become immortal, the day that I will spend the rest of my life with Medusa.
