"What do you mean they are still together?"

Deathly low, her voice shouldn't have been so loud in the room, but the junior reporter's lip began to quiver in fear. There was no one scarier than Veronique Ossa when she was pissed, no one. She could literally make you or, rumor had it, break you into tiny, tiny little pieces if she chose. And right now? She looked ready to break something. The twenty-one year old just hoped she didn't have the inclination to break him.

"Umm...ahhh...well...ehhh..."

"Spit. It. OUT!"

He coughed. "Well, it seems the rumors just aren't true."

Ossa began to breathe deeply through her nose in an effort to calm herself. Of course the rumors weren't true. She'd started them herself, damn it! But they were supposed to drive the famous couple apart! Just like they did every other DAMN TIME. This was happening way to often for her taste. In the past week she'd driven one actor into scandal when she had wanted him in good standing and another into good standing when he was supposed to be scandal ridden! Now this!

Her teeth began to grind in impatience.

"WELL. Get out there and make them TRUE."

The reporter jumped as her voice grew louder with each word.

"I...I...I...don't think I can."

The screech and crash echoed throughout the building.

She strolled down the hallway of the office high rise, seemingly oblivious to the scurrying of those around her who heard the same crashing and screech that she did. It was easy to follow the sound, and just as easy to hush the protests of the personal assistant who told her that Ms. Ossa was not seeing guests now... a protest she was still listening to for the nth time as she pushed open the door, stepping in and eying the reporter.

"What time is it? Local time?"

She lifted a brow as he stammered out the hour... 10 o'clock... and just nodded lightly.

"Good. Then it's plenty late enough. Two martinis... dry. Extra olives. Bombay Sapphire, preferably."

She turned away from him, just assuming he'd do as she told, and smirked slowly at her friend, switching to greek.

"Rough day at the office, love?"

She was just ready to lay into the reporter and was prepared to flay his skin off with her words when the door opened and Dite walked in. Her eyebrows shot into the air. This was unexpected.

The reporter stared at the beautiful blonde, then his eyes shifted between the two ladies. Ossa caught his eye and she glared at him.

"Well...do it!" That was all he needed and he booked it out of the room.

She rounded the desk and moved to embrace her friend.

"Nothing seems to be working lately. It's alright. I just have to fire some people and it will be working fine again." Or it would just make her feel better. Whatever.

"Martini's are a fantastic idea though. What brings you into town? Miss me?"

"Miss you? Of course." She nipped her friend cheek lightly as she returned the embrace, then moved to sit on the edge of the desk, looking around the office. She had redecorated.

"Trust me... however bad your day is going? Mine has been more difficult. I do not think firing people will work, unless it's Apollo you're firing. he messed up a spell... it's why nothing's working correctly for you. I'm working on it."

She flashed a smile, like she was just sharing news of who kissed who at a party. "And I really need the martini."

"Apollo? Spell?" She loved her friend, but couldn't for the life of her figure out what she was talking about.

Moving back behind the desk, she hit the intercom button on her phone. Giselle, her personal assistant answered the phone.

"Yes, Ms. Ossa?"
"Tell Harry not to bother with the martinis and that he's fired." He'd be lucky to get a job with his bum fuck local newspaper when she was done with him. She'd just make her own damn martini.

She clicked a button on her desk and the wet bar hidden behind the book case flipped around. She made two martinis and brought one to Dite.

"Queen isn't going as smoothly as we figured?"

"What's not to love? I've got Apollo switching the powers of every god, Hephaestus who's just got no interest in actually leading anything, Ares, who I've no love for, thanks to him, not leaving his temple because he's too busy sulking over the fact that he's a god of love now... my children are a mess, Hades got out, Cronus escaped Tartarus and is up to something that may or may not involve my daughter... No, queen is great. Poseidon never dealt with this shit."

Her shoulders slumped lightly as she took the martini, downing about half of it at once. Etiquette wasn't her concern at the moment.

"I'm going to live in the ocean, and tell Olympus to fuck off."

	Ossa just laughed. "You mean it's not all jewels and corgies?" She sat on the sleek couch across the room and crossed her legs as she sipped her martini. "This was the job you signed up for, sugar. Looks like everything hit all at the same time, huh?" She really wasn't upset that she didn't live on that mountain anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"No... I signed up to be queen of mermaids and seahorses. Who doesn't like seahorses? Olympus shouldn't be my problem. And forget jewels... not even a sceptre. Though that trident of Poseidon's? Slides through flesh real nice."

She pushed herself off the desk and moved to the sofa as well, draping herself into the corner.

"You'd think I, of all people, would realize the men would be useless. Bah, I shouldn't bitch. And I'll get your powers back to normal in no time. Scouts honor."

"I've never been a huge fan of seahorses. They have beady eyes."

She smiled at Dite's comment about useless men. Really, did she expect anything more from those two particular men? Ossa didn't hate men, she just didn't see the point for most of them.

"Darling, men are ALWAYS useless. Take your time. I'm in no hurry. I'll just continue to fire people in my frustration. They expect it anyway."

"Bullshit. You love seahorses. Everyone does."

She sighed, taking another sip of her drink, and looked sidelong over her glass at her friend.

"If I could give up men, I would. Of course, if I don't fix things, I suppose I could... War goddesses probably don't have much need of men. You know you're the first person I've talked to who didn't expect me to snap my fingers and make it all better?"

	"Well, I do agree. The fact that they make their men carry their young is a fantastic idea. We should do that with ours. I gave up men ages ago, believe me, you would be much happier that way. A war goddess huh? That must be a different feeling. Had sex recently?" She popped an olive into her mouth and shrugged. "You're not a magician." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Because we suffer the pangs of pregancy... Zeus has done the kids thing. Look how they turned out."

She laughed at Ossa's question, sucking on her own olive, her glass refilling itself.

"You've got to be kidding. None worth talking about... and that was before the whole war goddess thing to begin with. You've no idea how violent this feels. Sexy in its own way..."

Ossa just rolled her eyes, "Pangs of Pregnancy my ass. And really, I don't think Zeus' spawn are fucked up because he birthed them. More just because they are all assholes." She was glad that fucker was dead.

"Hmmm...I was just curious how it differed. I bet it would be violent and hot." She winked at her friend. "Anytime you want to release that frustration...feel free to hit me up. I like a good violent bout of hot sex."

	"Oh, well I'm sure his fathering skills have nothing to do with those personality disorders..." She grinned at the offer, pulling her feet up onto the sofa with her, tucking them under her legs. "When I say violent, I mean like... rammed a trident through Ares' shoulder violent. And still didn't get laid. I've lost my mojo..." Which was a bit depressing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	makeandbreakyou 2008-06-18 12:58 am UTC (link)
	"There is a difference between fathering skills and what orifice the child managed to push their way through." She refilled her glass with a thought and gave her friend a sympathetic look. "No, you haven't, doll. Ares is just a dumb fuck. Wait, if you're War, does that make that neanderthal, Love?" She cracked up at the thought. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I just mean I'm sure his skills didn't hut the assholish nature of them all."

She stifled a laugh, nodding in concurrence with Ossa's observation. "He is. And he sucks at it. But he did rid me of that pesky love I've held onto for him for so long. I feel nothing for him but annoyance. As for the rest? It's true. I'll need to work on it when I'm back to my normal self."

"I bet he does suck at it. The man has no finesse." Something that was needed when one was a love god.

"I guess that's a plus anyway. Without that love, you might actually be able to tell him to fuck off and die once and awhile...and you know...not make up with him. Darling, no one as pretty as you are loses their mojo. It's probably just stress. Why don't you just jump Hermes?"

	"Hermes can't even hold a conversation, currently... I had a half-hearted offer from Momos to look him up if the violent tendencies fade, but that was after I burned his hand to a fiery crisp." She grinned, taking a long sip of her drink. "Gee, Ossa... a person might think you're not fond of Ares." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Wow, just think what you would have gotten had you kept that fire to yourself." She snorted into her martini. "No, I dislike male pigs, and what do you know, Ares just happens to be one of those." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"There's nothing wrong with being a slut. I usually encourage it in people..."

It was an almost ingrained reaction to want to defend Ares... she'd done it before in so many different conversations. And always there was the caveat that trumped all arguments... but I love him. Only she didn't right now, so why the need to explain anything, other than perhaps justify the many times in he past she had?

"I'm not sure any of it was worth it. I just can't tell how much of that is general frustration at not being myself. Ugh... I'm annoyed, I'm frustrated, and I'm drinking martinis in the morning. All I need is a few Valium and a peacock and I'll have turned into Hera."

	Ossa just broke into delighted laughter and the assistant in the other room dropped a stapler on her foot at the sound. She stood up and moved so she was standing in front of Dite. Leaning down, she slipped both of her hands into the blond's hair, then sensually touched her lips to her friend's. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	loves_a_bitch 2008-06-23 12:16 am UTC (link)
	She sighed softly as Ossa threaded fingers through her hair and leaned instinctively into the kiss, a hand raising up to curl around her friend's neck. It was lovely... but lacked the frisson usually felt when kissing a lover. Proof that she was as broken as the rest... but it wasn't going to make her break the kiss.

Soft and sensual was lovely...sometimes. However, this was not the time for that.

Without leaving the kiss, she maneuvered lips around and took Dite's lower lip between her teeth and bit down...hard. Iron flavor filled her mouth quickly as she worried her teeth over the cut flesh.

She pushed Dite back against the couch as she released her mouth. Licking her lips, she stared down at her friend.

"Want to bite me back?"

	She growled as she felt teeth bite down, her martini dropping to the ground with a tinkling crash as her hand reached up to grip Ossa's hip roughly, fingernails biting into the fabric of her designer suit. Her eyes flashed dark as she looked up at her friend, tongue slowly sliding along her lower lip to taste the blood there. "You sure this is what you want?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
