Ares Collin
"She what?" Mason asked through the phone.
"She just left. She didn't even tell me her name or phone number."
"That's new." He simply stated.
"Not only you but me too, because this is the first in history that the girl left me hanging instead of me doing it to them." I said as I ran my hand through my hair.
"Well.. I transfer the money to your account already buddy. I mean.. I can see that she's cheap. She was so easy to tame." That got me a little pissed actually but I don't have any reason to be angry at Mason because it was just a one night stand.
"Thanks." I said to Mason and I ended the call. I sat down on my dining table and looked blankly at my glass of water.
Something about that girl last night that I just can't forget. I don't think it's about her body or how good the experience was but how she acted and treated me. Something off about her and why do I really want to know about her more.
I called the bartender that happened to serve us because I knew him. I always go there every week so I know some people who work there.
"Will.. hey buddy."
"Hey Ares, did you have fun last night?" He asked and I bet he got a big fat smirk on his face.
"Can you tell me her name? I bet she swiped her card last night."
"No.. she came here with a check."
"What? A check?" I asked disbelief.
"Stefanus West, I bet you heard his name a lot. He's a famous businessman and he comes here sometimes. I don't know what that girl's relationship with him but she gave me that check last night."
"Stefanus West, I think I've heard about him before." I said it to myself.
"He got married to a famous actress named Carrie Lambert." He gave me another piece of information.
"Okay, thanks for your information."
"I think she's his sister because they kinda look alike. You can find her on the internet." He suggested.
"Thanks man.. appreciate it."
"No worries." He ended the call and I quickly went to g****e and typed Stefanus West's family. I quickly pressed the images button to find that girl. I scrolled a little and a smile came to my face when I found the girl that I'm looking for.
I pressed the picture and it led me to an article. I read it and I smirked big time when I found her name.
Roseanne West.
I looked up her name now on the internet and I raised my eyebrows when I saw her birthday date. She turned 25 yesterday and she spent her birthday alone? Not alone but with her brother's check. That's odd.
She's the daughter of Thomas West, the famous oil businessman in America. I tried to look at her profile more to find her job or where she works but nothing. There are zero information about her work and her love life. She's a little bit off in everyway.
She said that she hated men last night, did someone break her heart?
Okay, Ares.. why do you care? Yesterday was a one night stand, nothing more. I mean she was a virgin and she didn't even get mad at me for taking it from her.
Let's just forget about her. I won't see her again anyway so why bother looking up her information and be curious about her. Instead of not looking and turn off my phone, I kept scrolling to find more information about her.
"Why so serious? You didn't even notice me walking in." I jumped when my dad suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I turned to him in horror and he chuckled.
"Hmm.. Roseanne West. Why are you looking at her pictures?" He asked and I flipped my phone immediately.
"What are you doing here?"
"I bought you the newest technology boy." He said as he put 2 big paper bags in front of me.
"What is this?" I asked as I opened the first paper bag.
"Newest iPad and it's not out yet so please use it at home." He said and I looked at the box nodding.
"What's that?"
"New JBL speaker. You'll love it." He said as he patted my back.
"Have you eat lunch?" I asked.
"Not yet, wanna eat together?" He asked and I nodded.
"Sure.. do you want something?"
"I want ramen or maybe chinese hot pot." He said and I gestured him to sit. I moved all the paper bags to my room and changed my clothes because I was still on my yesterday's suit.
I walked out from the room and found my dad on his phone. I walked to him and took my phone from the table putting into my pocket.
"Let's go.. I'm starving." I said and he nodded. He got up from his seat and we walked out from my apartment.
"Dad, I'm planning to move my office here and maybe move here.. permanently." I said as we got into the lift.
"That's great. You need to be around me and your mom more." He said and I chuckled.
"Why is that?"
"You need to behave, find a girlfriend and get married." I rolled my eyes when he tried to talk about that topic.
"I'm 29, dad, and being a bachelor is nice." I said proudly.
"Hey.. you used to wish that you want to get married before 30 and next year you will turn 30."
"Nah.. I don't think I will settle down. It's hard for me to find someone that I like." I said because it's true. I dated a lot of women and there's no one that match me. I gave up my wish already after that.
"You will find someone, I really believe that but remember.. finding someone that really match you takes time and you need to get to know her more than just the surface."
"Yes.. dad." I said in a boring tone.
"Have lunch with me and your mom next week. She will comeback here next monday. What do you say?" He asked.
"I'm okay with that."
Roseanne West"Are you ready for my vows?" Ares asked and I looked at him suspicious. I nodded and I turned to the priest nervously because I'm so afraid that Ares will say something stupid."Honey.. baby.. my love.. my beautiful lovely Roseanne West.. We met in a really crazy way at first. I don't need to tell the details to all of the people in the church especially in front of Jesus." He said and everyone laughed. I face palmed myself completely embarrassed."We started our relationship roughly and then I started to fall for you each day even though you hella cold and act like I'm a deadly virus. After that, we started to share our journey together through up and down and man.. at last I got you on my palm." He smirked and I chuckled looking at his expression."
Ares Collin"I do." I said in front of the mirror."I do." And again.."I do." Again for the 150 times or maybe more.."Yes, I do." I practiced again."I, Ares Collin accept Roseanne West to be-""Honey, you've been practicing that all day long." Rosie walked into the bathroom and I looked at her flatly."I'm practicing so I won't be nervous tomorrow." I said and Rosie slipped her arms around my hips from the back."You're cute." She said as she smiled at me through the mirror."I do." I said in singing it and Rosie laughed.
Roseanne West"Hey.. you'll do great." Ares smiled at me and I nodded nervously. It's less than a minute before the MC will call me out. Ares gave me a kiss on my cheek and at the same time the MC called me to go on stage."Goodluck honey." Ares said and I nodded. I walked to the stage and my eyes widen to see a lot of people coming. I smiled widely and waved my hands to them. I turned on the mic and the MC asked me to sit down."Good afternoon, everyone!" I greeted them and they all cheered for me. I'm so touched and so.. happy. I'm so glad that I decided to do this. My dad, my brother, Carrie and Ares' parents came too and they were all so supportive towards me."Please introduce yourself." The MC said, smiling at me and she gestured to me to see the audience.
Roseanne West10 months later.."Babe.. have you seen my harddisk?" I asked Ares because I couldn't find it."Have you check your laptop bag or maybe your work bag?" He answered from the room. I quickly walked to the kitchen because I put my bag there earlier when I got home. I checked my bag and I found it.I just got home from an important meeting. Just like I said around 10 months ago that I promised that I will reveal myself if I'm done writing my new book. Tomorrow will be the publishing day and they already prepared a meet and greet.I was so nervous and they gave me all the details into my harddisk so I need to go all of that tonight. Ares still don't know that I'm Elena Parker and I'm planning to drag him t
Roseanne WestNever in my life.. I've even thought that someone will successfully break all my walls. I made this invisible walls around me to protect myself from being hurt. People come and go.. and that's reality, I know that but.. I never imagined that it would be so easy to break it.This is why I always avoid people trying to get close to me because I know there's a possibility that they can break my walls easily and then leave me.Now, I'm sitting in front of Ares and telling him that I'm giving up. I'm done trying to keep my walls up, I'm done trying to protect myself and I'm surrendering my heart to him. It seems so fast for him but.. he's just everything. He made me happy, he made me feel special, he made me love myself and he helped me move on even though I always hate that idea.
Roseanne WestAfter I packed my small bag for another extra clothes to go to the beach, Ares called me telling me to go up to his apartment. I dropped everything and went up right away. I pressed his doorbell and he opened the door for me."Is everything okay?" I asked and he nodded. He gestured to me go inside and he got the dogs back. I kneeled down and the dogs ran towards me. I was so excited to see them. I can't believe he kept his dogs at his parents house because he's not finished moving in fully but now he is."Oh my god.." I turned to Ares and he smiled."For you." He suddenly gave me a bouquet of flowers. I got up and took the flower."Thankyou.." I said."Ready to go to t
