CHAPTER 10

He is dating this woman.

Immediately following our brief epiphany, he drove me to my ostensible "home.". ". I was exhausted from all the drama that had happened today and just wanted to lay down, but I had to prepare dinner for him first. I made myself start the meal, keep it warm, and then get into bed. But regrettably, my thoughts persisted, and I started to feel relieved that at least one person liked me. Anyone in the world could be seduced by a man like Ares in the blink of an eye based solely on his appearance and personality. He can woo any woman on the planet because his personality is stronger than his appearance. But I think he likes me. a girl who feels unworthy, experiences father-child abuse, and lacks the ability to remain happy. I couldn't help but smile when I realised Ares likes a girl like me, despite my mind telling me it was a lie. I want to feel happy, even if it's just for a moment, even though I know it's probably a lie or a game. I consequently believed it to be true, went to bed, and woke up feeling like I had a real friend.

(Tuesday).

I entered the eatery and began working. I don't know why, but I keep glancing at the entrance to the restaurant. I tried not to look over at the door, but my eyes kept wandering there and I couldn't help but keep looking. The day was over, and I scowled.

Ares didn't show up today.

I had just that thought, oh my God. ". I shook my head and said, "So what if he didn't show up; it's not his responsibility to stop by and see me every day, so why did it make me sad?". and my return route. Then I took a shower and went to bed after finishing dinner.

Friday).

Over the course of Ares' three days missing, Nick wasn't even present at the school. I questioned what was happening and whether or not everyone was alright.

Hopefully.

I went inside the ice cream shop, took my usual seat, and started working. I looked up to see Ares' face filled with relief when a pair of fastened steps suddenly walked toward me as I was working. He smiled as he snatched me up in his arms after noticing that I was staring at him. I quickly and almost unconsciously gave him a hug in return. We embraced each other for a while.

After taking a step back, he said.

"Hey.

I'm sorry I couldn't come see you and I hope you're okay.

He expressed regret and said, ".

In response, I smiled as well.

"Hey.

I'm fine, thank you.

It's fine if you can't stop by often because you have your own work to do. Even though I wish we could see each other every day, neither of us would be able to. You seem to be so perfect and pure, and when I look at you, I seem to be nothing. ", I said. His eyes were wide with a variety of emotions, including surprise, happiness, and was it love?, and I blinked several times as I waited for what I had just said to sink in. Oh my God, I'm so stupid, what did I just say, why did I feel the need to whine and say I wanted to see him everyday?

Why didn't I just say he was perfect instead?

My cheeks were burning from shame.

'Sorry,' I said.

I definitely did not mean that.

I had no idea what I was talking about.

I am just so stupid.

Looking down, I bit the bottom of my lip.

I was made to look at Ares after someone gently lifted my chin.

He glanced at my lip, which I was still biting.

His eyes' colour darkened.

He growled a low growl at me and bit my lip. His hands caressed my face softly, and I was wide awake when I finally responded to him. So with my eyes closed and my arms behind his neck, I started kissing him back. He then grunted softly and grabbed my waist while continuing to massage my cheek with his other hand. I made an effort to match the hunger in his lips movement. His lips were so sweet and gentle.

Both of our lips were moving in unison.

I doubt I could handle the intensity of his addictive lips.

We continued to kiss for a brief period of time before I pulled away and faced him.

He had a happy and satisfied expression.

You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that.

He exclaimed while grinning widely.

I blushed and responded with a smile.

Then he hugged me, and I did the same.

He whispered in my ears.

I wanted this to be more special, but I just can't wait any longer," he said, turning around.

He fixed his eyes on me and said, "Would you, Alana Queens, please consent to become my girlfriend and make me the happiest man alive?".

I continued blinking. I could tell by looking into those honest, longing eyes of his that he really wanted me. No matter if I want to be his girlfriend, if I'm good enough, or if this whole thing is just a game, I just don't want to get hurt. But I really like him. I should possibly give him a chance.

"Don't be concerned.

if that's what you prefer.

Please accept my apology.

With an almost broken heart, he commanded, "Forget this happened, and then begin walking away from me. I took hold of his arm, looking into his eyes as I spoke openly. Ares Kings, I'd love to be your girlfriend," she said as she kissed him. He kissed me back shortly after that. In comparison to the ones that came before, the subsequent kiss was softer and more delicate.

We turned around when we heard clapping.

When I turned around, I heard clapping from everyone, along with some wolf whistles and "Aww.

".

When Ares held my face against his chest, I flushed. His laugh caused his chest to vibrate, and I snuggled into him. It's safe to say t

hat today has been the best day of my life so far. I've been dating a guy who looks a lot like Ares lately.
