"Need some help?" I turned around to see Ares standing there with a big bouquet of flowers."Hey.. I thought you have work.""Work on my girlfriend's day? It can wait.." He said and I smiled. He gave me the flower and gave me a kiss on the top of my head. "Thank you, these are so beautiful." I said. "Tell me what to do.." He said and I asked him to help carry the chair upstairs. He rolled his sleeves and my eyes glued to him."You're drooling..""Just go.. boyfriend." I said and he chuckled. "Athena." I turned to Grace and she gestured me to go to her. "We're all good." She said as she showed me all the CCTV. "Okay.""Are you nervous?""Yeah, pretty much." I said and Grace gave me a hug."It will go smoothly.." to be honest, it happened so fast. I gathered a good team and I'm so grateful. I turned to the clock and it's almost 3."Look who's here.." Grace said and I turned to the door. I smiled seeing Ares' family and they hugged me. They even bought flowers for me. "Please sit w

We went up together and this is his first time entering my unit. He looked around and sat on the sofa."I like your apartment." He said as I grabbed a glass of water."It's cozy." "Are you sure you want me to stay here?" He asked and he turned to me."If you wanna go, feel free." I said avoiding his eyes. I drank all my water and put it on the sink. "I was surprised that you want me to stay." He said and I was surprised at myself for asking him. Since when I become so needy? "I have my brother's extra clothes here, you can take a shower." I said as I walked to my room. I grabbed my brother's hoodie, sweatpants and extra underwears. I walked to the living room and found Ares looking out the window. "How are you feeling? After opening your own restaurant." He asked as he turned to me. I put the clothes on the sofa and walked towards him."It was weird but I'm happy. I was living my dream and thank you.. I wouldn't be able to do it without you." I said smiling to him. "I will pay y

I woke up so sore and my whole body ache. I turned to see Ares still sleeping and I checked the time real quick. It's 7 a.m, I still have time because Grace will take care of the morning shift for me. I got off from the bed and I can't even walk properly. I walked to the bathroom and jumped into the shower. I could still feel him on my skin and I could still smell him everywhere even though I already wash myself. I dried my hair and my body. I put on a robe as I chose my outfit for today. I grabbed my white tee and jeans. I put my clothes on and then started to do my make up. I made coffee and continued to do my hair. After going around the house, Ares still sleeping. He didn't even move to chanhe his position. I grabbed my phone and put it in my bag. I checked the time and it's already 8.23 so I have to go. I took a cab to my restaurant and saw Grace already checking all the ingredients. I walked into the kitchen to check everything one more time. "Athena, I'm going to get brea

"I'm so excited for this trip! I can't wait!" Lily said and I chuckled nodding."We will have so much fun.." Rachel said.I love the Andersons but I really wanted to lay down and rest. Ares was a man of his words. He had to carry me out from the office and to my apartment. He ruined me. I was surprised that I could still walk to my door to greet Lily and Rachel. "Martin never initiate a vacation before but he said after seeing Ares so.. blank out, he decided that we need one." Rachel said and I nodded."It will be a fun trip." I said as I leaned my body back."Are you okay dear?" Lily asked."I'm fine, it's just period cramp. It's pretty bad, I'm so sorry." I looked at them both."We understand! We'll go.. you have to get some rest! I'll send Ares here!" Lily said and I wanted to reject her offer about sending Ares here but she will be so suspicious. "Thank you.""Rest well, dear." Rachel said and with that they both left. I walked to my bed and laid there. My phone rang and it's

Why am I here? Dad, Jayson, Jackson and Ares are drunk. They were singing, talking and laughing together. They even sang the National Anthem together. Mom already went back to the hotel because she's too tired and I should have gone with her. I thought they will be done after they screamed singing to Bon Jovi but.. they fooled me. I tried to stop Ares but he told me to sit pretty.That's what he said. "Babe, just sit pretty for me. You're so fucking beautiful. I'm the luckiest man in the world!" He said amd I face palmed myself. I had to call for help to carry them to the car. I drove Ares' car back to the hotel and Jayson dragged Ares with him. We went up to the hotel room full of struggle. There won't be a second time. Dad went to his room and Jackson and Jayson went to his room. Ares was sleeping on the sofa and I was debating whether I should go back or stay here. When I walked out from the bathroom, I heard someone's phone ringing. I followed the sound and it was Ares'. It
