Why Everything You Know About Destiny Is A Lie

@ Jinx...

Hermes grinned as he watched her go, waving a bit before leaving the hotel and heading back to his apartment. He undressed and took a quick shower before heading to bed, needing to get a good night sleep before his meeting tomorrow.

---

Constance loosely wrapped her arms around his neck, fingers finding their way into his hair as she kissed him back, humming against his lips slightly as she pressed close. She didn't know what had come over her, but she couldn't help what she was doing, feeling drawn to him.

@ Another.Chance
Willow spent the night looking up things about the new city and thinking over the things she had talked about with Daniel tonight. She smiled remembering how he said he liked the stars better. She thought it was a beautiful thing that he had opened up to her if only for a fraction of a second. She wondered how she could get him to do it again.

---

Miles smiled against her lips an then slowly drew away. She was getting swept into him and he didn't want that for her. He knew his pull was great on human women. Miles smiled sown at her. "Thank you." he said and kissed her head. "You need to go to sleep now beautiful." he said and cupped her cheek.

@ Jinx...

Hermes nearly slept through his alarm the next morning, having to quickly dress in a nice suit and rush out of his apartment with his things, sprinting through town to get to his meeting on time. The meeting was being held at the grand hotel that Willow was staying at, Hermes standing in the lobby texting on his phone, waiting for the other disguised gods and goddesses to arrive.

---

Constance's face flushed red, biting her lip as she quickly stepped away from him, stammering out an apology. "I-I'm so sorry.. I-I don't know what came over me.. I-I think it's best if we cancel coffee for tomorrow, I don't want to make you uncomfortable or anything.." She spoke softly, retreating back into the safety of her apartment, murmuring a small "Good night" before shutting the door.

@ Another.Chance
Willow walked down into the lobby and smiled seeing Daniel and she walked over to him and put her hands over his eyes. "Stop looking at your phone I haven't texted yet." she whispered and then let him go and walked around and smiled at him. "Hey what are you doing here?" she asked. She was just headed out to personally go to all those places he had recommended for her to find a job at.

---

Miles frowned. "Constance." he shook his head and walked after her and opened the door not going to let her go that easily. "Now you listen here. You are a beautiful woman and I am a stubborn man. I am taking you to brunch tomorrow at 10:30. You can decide after that if you want to stick around and see if there is more between us. "Good night." he said and kissed her once more before closing her door and walking up to his apartment. He closed the door behind him and locked it. Miles walked over to his bed and fell into it. That woman was nuts and he was addicted.

@ Jinx...

Hermes grinned a little when he felt her hands over his eyes, smiling down at her as she moved in front of him. "Good morning. I'm here for work. Big meeting today. What are you doing all dressed up?" He inquired, shoving his phone in his pocket, despite it continuing to buzz with notifications.

---

Constance blushed wildly at how forward he was being, hurrying into her apartment and locking the door. She calmed her nerves down before finally falling asleep, curled up in the warmth of her bed. Because she had gone to sleep so late and hadn't set an alarm, she was still asleep by the time their brunch date rolled around

@ Another.Chance
Willow smiled. "I'm job hunting." she said and put her hand on her hip. "Why you hiring?" she asked smiling knowing she looked good. She knew her assets and she knew how to use them to get attention but not to much so that it became a problem. Willow was actually really good at getting hired and taking care of all of her needs pretty quickly. that was what made moving around like she did so easy for her.

---

Miles walked down to Constance apartment and knocked on her door waiting until she answered the door and he smiled seeing her look like she had been asleep just a moment before. He chuckled. "Do you need a little bit longer?" he asked and smiled at her tucking her hair behind her ear.

@ Jinx...

Hermes chuckled a bit, smiling down at her as he reached out to lightly rest his hands on her waist, tugging her a bit closer. "Unfortunately not. The people I work for rarely allow new people in to the business." He spoke softly, watching her quietly.

---

Constance rubbed her eyes sleepily as she woke upon hearing the knock at her door, slowly rolling out of her bed to answer it. She blinking a bit in confusion when she saw him, her memory slowly coming back as sleep left her. Her eyes widened, blushing brightly as she quickly tried to shut the door, still in her pajamas, which consisted of a large t-shirt and her underwear.

@ Another.Chance
Willow blushed softly and raised an eyebrow as he tugged her closer but she didn't pull away as she smiled at him. "Aww to bad I have never had an office romance." she smirked and ran a hand through her hair. "So who do you work for anyways?" she asked smiling gently.

---

Miles chuckled and put his foot in the door. He opened the door gently and smiled at her. "Mind if I make some coffee while I wait for ya?" he asked and smiled at her. He was glad he had caught her off guard, she was most adorable that way.

@ Jinx...

Hermes chuckled slightly, shaking his head a bit. "There are more office romances around than you could imagine... I work for the Pantheon Corporation, we're having a board meeting today, and I'm waiting for the other members to show up so the meeting can get started." He glanced back over his shoulder to check and see if anyone had arrived yet, and when he didn't see anyone he knew he looked back down at Willow with a smile.

---

Constance blushed brightly as she stepped back away from the door, tugging the hem of her shirt down to try to cover herself up some more. She shook her head a bit at his question, slowly creeping back into the apartment. "I-I don't have a coffee maker.. My old one broke during the move."

@ Another.Chance
Willow chuckled. "Yes but that doesn't mean I have had one before." she said and smiled nodding slightly a he went over his work. "Hmm that explains why you wanted to get home so soon. You don't break the rules often do you?" she asked and smirked then leaned forward and kissed his cheek. "Daniel you should loosen up a little. It's good to break a few rules and remind yourself why life is worth living." she said and stepped back. "I should go though I need to get out there and impress." she said and smiled. "See ya later Daniel." she said and smirked swaying her hips as she walked out of the hotel.

---

Miles frowned. "Oh what a shame. If I had known that I would have brought you some coffee or bought you a new machine for your place." he said and smiled at her. Miles had no problem with getting things for people that needed it and those he liked. "I'll just go hang out on the couch then." he said and smiled kissing her cheek. "You look cute this morning but you can't wear that out dear." he said and gave her a light wink before moving to the couch and relaxing.

@ Jinx...

Hermes chuckled a bit, turning to watch her leave. As she was heading out of the hotel a rather nice car pulled up and an older gentleman with a greying beard stepped out along with a beautiful woman of about the same age. When Hermes spotted them he walked out to greet them, smiling faintly. "Good morning Father, Heather." He greeted, nodding his head slightly in respect.

---

Constance blushed a bit at his comment. "We're going out..? I thought brunch meant just staying in.. I don't want to trouble you." She frowned, looking around at the mess of unpacked boxes around her apartment.

@ Another.Chance
Willow smiled as she headed out into the city. She wondered through city looking at the list Daniel had given her and the instructions on her phone on how to get there. When she walked into the first place that she had deemed was the best for her she smiled and walked up to the counter and asked for the hiring manager. She was in luck because he was in the back and they walked back to go get him. Willow loved this feeling and was excited to introduce herself to the man that had no idea she was about to be his best temporary hire ever.

---

Miles chuckled. "Nope brunch in this case means me taking you out so we can get some real food." he said and smiled looking at her boxes and turned to look at her over her couch. "Because I only have cereal in my place and I doubt you have much better options here. Besides how will I call it a date if I don't take you out to show you off." he smiled.

@ Jinx...

Hermes led the other gods to the conference room, sitting near the front of the table next to his father, Zeus, taking notes of the meetings details in order to send them to the other gods that weren't able to attend, although all of the major ones were there. The meeting went on well into the afternoon, although it had devolved into a lot of arguing. Hermes had to step out for a few minutes to clear his head, standing on the sidewalk smoking while looking through his phone.

---

Constance blushed wildly at his words. "A-A date..?" She stammered back, looking over at him from where she stood near the door to her bedroom, still trying to tug her shirt down a bit to cover herself more.

@ Another.Chance
Willow came back towards her hotel a couple shopping bags in hand a coffee in her other and a croissant in her mouth. Willow smiled as she came towards her hotel finishing her croissant. She stopped sipping her chia tea latte and looked at Daniel. "Hey you. Tough day?" she asked and leaned against the wall setting down her bags. She had needed to get a few more things to get her new job started off right. Willow looked up at him thinking how weird it was how often they were bumping into one another.

---

Miles grinned. "Yep. Why you afraid of me Constance?" he asked and smiled at her. Miles looked her over her and then looked back up at her eyes. "Please dear take your time and get ready. It's just a little brunch no need to get so flustered." he smiled gently.

@ Jinx...

Hermes smiled faintly at her when he noticed her, blowing a puff of smoke out of his mouth before tossing his cigarette on the ground and stamping it out. "You have no idea." He sighed, running his fingers through his hair as he leaned back against the wall. "These meetings are always the worst. Family matters always get brought in and nothing ever gets done."

---

Constance blushed brightly, shuffling her feet a bit where she stood as she looked away. "..I-I've never been on a date... Never even kissed someone before last night.." She murmured quietly before hurrying into her room, shutting the door behind her to change quickly.

@ Another.Chance
"Aww a family business hun? What did you say you do again?" Willow asked and smiled at him. She watched his hand move through his hair and she bit her lip as she looked over at him holding her hands behind her back.

---

Miles smiled. "Well we took care of that first kiss pretty painlessly didn't we? We'll just have to get your first date over with as well. And if that kiss was any indication then I think it will go pretty good." he said and smiled. It explained a lot why she had kissed him so long the night before now.

@ Jinx...

"It's a big company, my father and his wife are in charge, but my siblings and I are on the board with them, and have just as much say as they do. You could say I'm like the PR person, I make sure everyone in the company is up to date, send all the emails and messages. I'm basically the messenger, and get to travel a lot because of it." Hermes explained, shrugging a bit as he watched her. "Did you find a job?"

---

Constance hurried to get dressed, blushing wildly as she did. Her stuff was still packed away, so it took her a while to find what she needed, but thew on a pair of jeans and a sweater and called it good, stepping out of her room and into the bathroom to brush her hair and brush her teeth quickly.

@ Another.Chance
Willow smiled. "Well travel is defiantly a bonus." she said and smiled as he asked if she found a job. "Of course I did. Thank you for your help. I went to the one I wanted most first and worked out a deal with the manager. He will be very pleased with my work and I did drop your name so he'll be sending you a thank you at some point." she said and smiled. "When is your meeting over?" she asked thinking perhaps they could have a celebratory drink or something.

---

Miles waited patiently enjoying sitting in her place and looking over what she had already begun to unpack and how much she still had left. He smiled wondering why she had never kissed anyone before or why no one had ever kissed her before. He could only think that perhaps she had not found someone whom she had wanted that way. He smiled and stood as she came out. "You look nice." he said even though she looked the same as any other time he had seen her but what he said was the truth.

@ Jinx...

Daniel smiled, glad that she had found a job so quickly. "That's good to hear." He checked his watched when she asked about his meeting, shrugging a bit. "Probably won't end anytime soon, but they don't really need me. What do you want to do?"

---

Constance blushed a bit at his complement, shaking her head a bit as she grabbed her jacket and purse. "I wore this yesterday.." She murmured quietly, not having time to dig through all of the boxes she had yet to unpack to look for something else to wear.

@ Another.Chance
Willow smiled. "I was thinking about getting a celebratory drink if you wanted to sneak away and join me." she said and smiled at him and picked up her bags. "Tell you what you think about that I have to drop this off at my room and change into some layman's cloths then we can meet up back here in 20 if you are wanting to come with me.

---

Miles shrugged. "And that changes your beauty how?" he asked and smiled. "Let's go." he said and took her hand and walked out with her letting her lock up then he walked down to the street with her. "I know a little hole in the wall has pretty divine food." he said and took her hand putting it in the crook of his arm. "Cool with you?" he asked smiling.
