Disappointment and Desire - Eros POV

The second I saw Chrissy's car in my driveway my body tensed. I actually had a really good night and definitely didn't want to come home to this.

"You piece of shit!" She screamed the second I got out of the car. This was going to be fun. Why did I even deal with this? As I opened the front door I felt her shoe hit me in the back. Did this woman seriously take off her shoe and throw it at me? What the fuck?

She followed me upstairs not getting the hint I wasn't in the mood to fight. I got changed in jogging pants and no shirt then laid down. Chrissy's screaming was just background noise as I thought about my night with Ella. She looked really good in that dress but was just a cute in her oversized fluffy black sweater and red leggings from earlier in the day.

Rich and Kristen loved her the second they met her, which was odd. They never liked anyone I brought with me. How could they like her without even speaking more than two words to each other? Ella did have this sweet innocent look to her. I thought it made her look weak, but I guess others thought she was just a good person.

"Are you going to say anything?" Chrissy was kneeling on my bed next to me. Most her anger was gone and worry replaced it. She knew I didn't care if she was upset.

"I'm tired Chrissy. I didn't call you over here so go home."

"Are you serious? I'm here because I'm your girlfriend. I thought we were going to move in together and actually become more of a grownup couple." She was pouting to me and it only pissed me off.

"I don't want to move in with you. This bullshit is the last thing I want to be coming home to."

"What are you saying, Eros.?" Now the tears were coming.

"I'm saying to go home and stop telling me what we are."

"What are we then?"

"I don't fucking know." I put my pillow over my head wanting her to just leave.

Instead she laid next to me with her head on my chest. I could feel her wet cheeks and I felt a little bad. I should just break up her. I hated breaking up with girls though. I usually pushed them away until they broke up with me. Chrissy wasn't getting the hint I didn't want anything more than sex from her though.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you." She sobbed. "I was just jealous and don't want to lose you. I won't yell at you, Eros and we can move in together when you're ready. Ok?" Her arm wrapped around my waist squeezing me. I guess she wasn't going to break up with me.

"Just go to sleep." I still had the pillow over my eyes and my arms above my head. I didn't want to comfort her, but I was too much of a coward to kick her out.

Her hand moved to my dick and I immediately moved it off me. "Go to fucking sleep or get out." I yelled.

"Ok, I'm sorry." She relaxed back on my chest and finally got the hint I was not in the mood to deal with her bullshit.

——

I woke up in the morning feeling like shit. Chrissy was completely tangled on top of me and it was fucking annoying. I moved her off me slowly not to wake her. I was an expert at sneaking out of bed.

I got dressed stealing glances next door at Ella's house. I was supposed to ride in with Aaron to the city but now I wasn't sure if he wanted me around him.

I looked down at Chrissy and let out a long sigh. First time for everything. I shook her awake. She smiled at me with sleepy eyes.

"Good morning, baby." He seductive plump lips said. I needed to stay on track though.

"You need to get up." I sat down next to her with my head in my hands. I hated this.

"What's wrong?" She sat up wrapping her arms around me.

"I don't want to see you anymore, Chrissy. I'm just not happy with whatever fucked up relationship we have going on."

There I said it and I was already feeling better.

I would like to say she accepted my words at face value and just left amicably but that is not what happened. First she cried, begging to give us another chance. Then she flipped out screaming what a piece of shit I was. Lastly she accused Ella for stealing me from her.

If she only knew how different the two of us were Chrissy would understand why there would never be an Eros and Ella. God, that sounds good together though.

I quickly ducked as her shoe went flying over my head. I really needed to pay attention to what was happening right in front of me. "Chrissy stop making this difficult. We don't do anything but fuck. Why is this such a surprise to you?"

I guess that wasn't the best thing to say because it just set her off more. She shouted how we were done for good this time and peeled out my driveway. Fucking finally!

I looked over at Ella's house and figured it was at least worth a shot to see if I was still welcomed there. Aaron can't be pissed at me forever. I've known him since I was born and we worked together. I would of tried to ask my own dad what to do but he wasn't home again.

I let out a sigh and walked next store.

"Why are you here?" Aaron said opening his door. He was definitely still mad.

"I thought we were driving into work together." I looked down unable to met his eyes. He was so disappointed in me and it fucking hurt.

"I told you to not mess with my little girl then you have her screaming and crying at you the next day. I didn't miss the little show Chrissy just put on either." He crossed his arms over his chest blocking the doorway.

I started to turn to walk away, but I couldn't leave us like this. Aaron was like my second father. If I fucked up then I needed to make it right with him.

"I'm sorry for how I spoke to Ella. I was just trying to help her and got carried away. I'm not use to people like her and I know I fucked up, Aaron. I swear I won't do it again."

"Daddy stop being mad at, Eros. It was just a stupid fight and he apologized to me. Plus, he is helping me. Be nice and drive with him to work. He obviously misses you." Ella moved her dad from the doorway and waved for me to come inside. I gave her small smile and stepped in.

"I'm really sorry I disappointed you, Aaron." I clenched my jaw that he didn't seem to be any less angry with Ella's words.

"Don't do it again. Ella deserve to be treated better than how you treat your woman and friends."

"Daddy that is not fair. Be nice to, Eros." Her hands were on her hips speaking sweetly but stern. I didn't think she ever told her dad what to do before.

"Princess, I know boys like Eros. Trust me he wants nothing good from you."

"And he isn't trying to get anything from me. He is simply helping me and you should be more thankful he is here to help me. LA hasn't exactly been the friendliest of places."

Aaron softened his anger to his daughter. "I'm sorry and you're right. Come here." He took her into a hug and I looked at them like total weirdos. Was this a fight? A talk? What did I just witness?

"Are we... good?" I asked a little uncomfortable how these two are with each other.

"Yeah, but if you make my little girl cry again we won't be though." He pointed at me with serious eyes.

Where is my hug?

"I won't. I promise." I held up my hands in defeat. Ella smiled at me hugging her dad's side. I smiled back at her and felt like we are actually ok now.

"Come on, let's get to work." He kissed her head and walked with me to his car.

It was quiet for a few minutes and I didn't like that I felt uncomfortable to talk around him now. I was always open with Aaron, maybe a little too open. He had this very fatherly personality though and since mine was MIA half my life I usually turned to him for advice. I couldn't talk about Ella with him though.

"You and Chrissy broke up again?" He asked breaking the silence.

"Yeah, she is a pain in my ass." But with a nice ass of her own.

"I heard Ella's name come out her mouth while she was throwing her shoes at you."

"She's just jealous. Chrissy didn't like me taking her out last night. We both told her it was nothing, but she didn't believe me. She always has something she is pissed about and I'm tired of coming home to fighting so I ended it."

"I'm sure you'll be back together next week. You know it's better to just appease your woman than to fight with her. Once you're married you won't have your old life anymore."

"I like my life now and I know it's way better than any with Chrissy." I guess I really didn't want to be with her.

Aaron chuckled at me. "You'll see one day it's worth it."

"Maybe, but I doubt it. I don't like someone telling me what I can and can't do or having to worry about them. I'll have enough responsibility when I take over my dad's company."

"You're still young. One day you'll want it. Just don't get any ideas with my Ella."

"Why do you think I'm after her? I'm helping her and you're all over me like I'm fucking her or something."

Aaron's hands gripped the steering wheel tight. Probably shouldn't talk about fucking his daughter.

"Watch how you talk about her."

"Sorry. I just meant I never went after Ella before. You said to stay away from her and I always have. Why are you so mad at me now?" I really needed to know what this was between us. We never had any anger between us and I did some pretty questionable things as a teenager.

"I know she has had a little crush on you since she moved here. Ella is sweet with a good heart and I don't want her taken advantage of." He paused a moment. "You know her father was the town hero back home. He died saving her and a bunch kids from a school fire. He was the type of man that ran into a burning building to save kids. That's what Ella wants and what she deserves. You would just mess around with her then drop her when you get bored. I don't want her played with."

"I wouldn't hurt her." My hand balled in a fist. I didn't know that about her father, but it wasn't surprising he was some saint.

"You wouldn't mean to, but you would. She is too good for you Eros so just leave her alone."

"I didn't even say I wanted her. Can you stop looking at me like I'm stealing your innocent little girl. Ella wouldn't want me anyways. She might of had a little crush, but that's because I'm the only person kind of nice to her here."

He thought a few moments. "Fine, I'll drop it, but I'm warning you..."

"I get it! Relax before you have a heart attack. Ella is nineteen and has never let anyone change her or make her do anything she didn't want. She'll be ok, Aaron."

He smiled. "Yeah, she will be."

He seemed to be less upset with me the rest of the day but he didn't let me come to lunch with him. I was ok with that and I can't explain how much better I felt knowing he didn't hate me. I never had bad words with Aaron's before and I never wanted to again.

The second I got to my second job Rich was all over me about Ella. I don't know why she was the topic of every conversation today. Rich of course was telling me to go after her while Aaron practically threaten to end my life if I did.

"Her dad and I are close, Rich. I'm not fucking our relationship up for a piece of ass."

"I'm telling you to date her, not fuck her. She's a grown woman. If you respect her, her dad will come around."

"I don't want Ella. Why is everyone insisting I do when I made it clear for years that I don't?" I chugged my third drink. I really shouldn't be getting drunk on the job and refused a refill.

"Say whatever you want but I saw how you were with her. You actually like this one and not just to take to bed."

"I'm just helping her. Drop it before I walk out of here." I gripped the railing looking down like I was interested in what was happening down below. Rich got quiet and we didn't speak the rest of the shift together.

That would had been great if my mind didn't keep turning the slutty strippers into Ella giving me a private dance. I was perfectly fine until everyone started putting it in my head that I wanted her. Why can't people mind their own business?

I got home feeling way too irritated from the day I had. I glanced at her window ten times before I made it to my door. I walked inside to an empty house, again, and headed up stairs. I put on my jogging pants and tried really hard to just go to sleep. It was like Ella was calling me to her and I couldn't resist the urge to go see her.

I jumped out of bed and walked to the side of her house like a total idiot and climbed that damn tree. I knew I was being stupid, acting like some high school kid desperate to see his girl, yet my desire to be close to her was way too overwhelming.

I climbed in the window and her room was lightly lit. I looked around and saw her in the closet. Really not a good start.

"Eros!" She grabbed the sweater next to her pulling it sideways on the hanger to cover her body.

Holy fuck! She was wearing just a red bra and red underwear. My favorite fucking wet dream. I should definitely turn away, but my body stalked to her like a predator. If she didn't tell me to get out, then I wouldn't even think about doing anything other than taking her body.

"Ella, fuck baby girl."

She dropped the sweater backing up to the far end of her closet as I slowly approached her. Everything I thought before was out the window and pure desire took over.

"Why are you here?" Her voice was shaky staring at my bare chest.

"I wanted to talk to you, but now there's only one thing I want." My eyes scanned her body and my dick was hard as a rock.

"What did you want to talk about?" She looked at me curiously forgetting we were standing inches apart in barely any clothes.

"I don't want to talk anymore. I just want this body." My hand reached out to her waist pulling her close to me. "Do you want me to leave?" I asked and she slowly shook her head no. "Good, because it would be really fucking hard to walk away from you now."

My lips moved down to hers, but she turned to face the side. Fuck, I love how innocent she gets when I'm touching her body. She always crumbles to me, but shies away, yet never tells me to stop. I needed her and I wasn't leaving despite Aaron's bullshit this morning to stay away from her. I did fucking want her and right now I felt like she was all mine to take however I fucking needed.
