I wouldn't turn on his best friend if I had feelings for him, would I?
My heart is thumping quickly inside my chest as I stand up. It would be an understatement to say that the three boys are speechless. They have priceless faces. Ares walks toward me, looking incredibly angry, just as I'm about to turn to face Marco. Similar to the previous evening, he entered my room in search of Apolo, but for very different reasons this time.
Right in front of me, he comes to a stop. "May I have a quick conversation with you?"
I'm debating whether to say no, but I decide to follow him into the playroom because I don't want to cause a scene in front of everyone. He pounces on me right away, taking my face in his hands and pressing his lips against mine as I shut the door behind me. The warmth of his lips makes my heart melt, but I promise not to repeat my error. I use all of my strength to push him away.
"Don't even consider it!"
Ares appears distressed. When I told Yoshi I had lost my virginity, he responded with a red face, which makes me think of him. He seems envious.
Raquel, what in the world are you doing?
It's none of your damn business what I'm doing.
"Are you attempting to get me jealous?" Do you intend to play at that point? I take a step back as he comes closer to me once more.
"You are not the center of the universe." I let out a shoulder shrug. "I was merely enjoying myself."
"With my best friend"? His eyes pierce mine as he holds my chin in his fingers. After what transpired in this room five days ago?
I will unavoidably blush. "So?" In the pool, you were having fun with that girl.
He touches the wall next to my head with his hand. Is that the issue of this? You follow suit if I do it?
No, and I'm not even sure why we're talking right now. You don't need an explanation from me. I owe you nothing at all.
My lower lip is touched by Ares' thumb. Do you believe that? You don't think it's clear, do you? I'm caught in his arms as he slams his other hand against the wall. "You are mine." only mine.
I feel hope again after hearing his words, but I push it away. "I'm not yours," I said.
He uses his body to press me up against the wall while keeping his eyes fixed on me. You are, indeed. You can only dance for me in that manner. "Understood?"
I defiantly shake my head.
What makes you so unyielding? You are well aware that I am the only person you want inside of you.
I push him once more while fighting my hormones. I'm not going to let him see how much I care about him. I've been hurt enough by him.
I firmly assert that I am not yours. I don't like idiots like you, so I never will be.
You lie a lot.
I get that smirk from Ares that really irritates me. "Oh, yeah" Remember that you didn't say that in this particular room that day?
I find it hard to believe he would bring that up. I feel compelled to hurt him.
The truth is, I don't really recall it. It wasn't very good.
Ares steps back, a pained expression taking the place of the haughtiness on his face. "Liar".
I say with all the disdain I can muster, "Think what you want." "My necklace is the only reason I came. I wouldn't be here otherwise, I assure you. Please give me my necklace so I can leave.
Ares gives me an intense look that renders me helpless. I'm not sure how I muster the courage to resist running into his arms. With his wet, naked torso and black hair stuck to the sides of his face, he has a very attractive appearance.
He has the appearance of a fallen angel— beautiful but capable of great harm.
I find it difficult to avoid looking at Ares' ass as he turns around. He walks back to me holding the necklace after reaching for something on a table behind the couch. "I'll give it to you if you just answer one question."
"Whatever." Let's just finish this up.
His wet hair is combed by his hand. "Why do you hate me so much?"
I never lied to you; you already knew what I wanted. You weren't duped into getting it by me. Why then the rage?
My heart is in my mouth as I look down. "Because I." I chuckle uncontrollably. "I believed that I was expecting more."
I would like you and take you seriously if we had sex, right?
I just smile regretfully at him because his direct words hurt but are accurate.
I know I'm a fool, I admit it.
My confession doesn't seem to surprise Ares. "Raquel, I."
"What's happening?" We are both surprised by the redheaded girl's question as she walks into the room.
The evening will be very long.
My heart is dying to hear what Ares was going to say before she cut him off, but I'm grateful that his maid came and saved me from this awkward conversation.
Was he going to hurt me once more? Or would he say something else instead?
Ares responds angrily, "Nothing is happening, Claudia." Before leaving the room, he hands me my necklace.
As I go after him, I grinned at her. Because my dress is a little wet, I shiver and blame it on it. In the living room, Ares has his arms crossed across his chest and is leaning against the wall. When his eyes meet mine, I try in vain to decipher his icy expression. Apolo, who is using his phone while seated on the couch, comes into my line of sight.
When the girl who was in the pool with Ares emerges from the kitchen carrying what appears to be a sandwich, I'm about to go sit next to him. Her eyes are pitch-black as night, and her wet hair appears dark. Her body is proportionate, and she has a delicate, attractive face. She walks confidently while donning a see-through beach dress and her bathing suit underneath. She 's
She is aware of how hot it is.
When she speaks, Ares is in her line of sight. "I prepared one for you." Ham and chicken.
"Thank you. I'm starving, and the barbecue won't be ready for a while. Just as I'm about to give up hope that my heart won't break any longer, Ares smiles at her. They appear to be at ease with one another.
The girl's eyebrows knit as she turns to face me. I didn't see you there, oh hi.
We are introduced by Apollo. Raquel, our neighbor, is here, Samy.
I accept Samy's hand when she extends it to me. "Hello, Raquel. It's nice to meet you."
I respond, "Likewise."
She grinned. "Pool ready"?
"Actually, I was just getting ready to leave."
"No, remain!" I can't wait to learn more about the girl who has lived next to these idiots her entire life. I can't believe I've never met you before, she says as she grabs me and wraps her arm around my shoulder.
Everyone is anticipating my response. I cannot remain here once more. Apolo, however, is waiting impatiently for my response and appears to be in a cute mode, so I choose to stay for him.
Just a little while longer, okay.
My gaze shifts to Ares's friends as we return to the pool. Ares approaches me and whispers in my ear. "Do not approach him."
He's talking about Marco, I know that. "I'm not required to follow your instructions."
"Pool time!" Samy yells as she removes her dress. I move back as she splashes us all into the water. Apollo dives in after her as he follows her lead and removes his shirt.
Samy comes out of the water's surface. "Ares, hurry up!" Why are you still waiting?
I look at him foolishly as I remember how he kisses me so deliciously, touches my abdomen while taking my innocence, and clings to my back as I sense him inside of me. Raquel, for the love of God! My face is covered in red. My cheeks start to burn, so I turn my head away.
"You're red," he said. What are you thinking, asks Ares with a chuckle?
I quickly respond, "Nothing."
His voice is haughty, and I can hear it. Or did you have a memory of something?
"Raquel"! From the table, Gregory calls out to me and invites me over.
"I'm coming!"
Before Ares grabs my arm, I can only move forward one step. I warned you to avoid him.
I also said that I wasn't required to follow your instructions.
"I forewarned you."
Ares pulls me toward the pool with him before I have a chance to process what he just said.
"Ares, don't you!" No! He is much stronger than me, despite my frantic attempts to escape his hold. "No!" Ares, please don't! no!
But it's too late. Ares dives in, dragging me down with him, and I let out a piercing scream. We are completely submerged in water for a few seasons, with my dress clinging to me. As I struggle to surface, bubbles come out of my mouth. As I come out of the water, I gasp for air and instinctively wrap my arms around Ares' neck while clinging to him tightly. He is holding me by the waist, our bodies pressed together, and his deep blue eyes are staring into mine.
