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."
Ares Collin"Hey mom.." I hugged my mom tightly and kissed her cheek."Hey dad." I gave him a brief hug too."When did you arrive here, mom?" I asked her as I sat down beside her."Yesterday, darling. So.. how's your job?" She asked as she patted my hand. My mom is a famous designer and she just got back from Paris for fashion week there. She loves her job so much that she almost work everyday."It's okay, mom. So.. should we order now? I'm starving." I said."Actually my friend will come here to join us, will it be okay? They will be here in 2 minutes maybe." My dad asked."Of course, I don't mind." I said.
Roseanne WestI've been so stress lately looking for my necklace. It was the necklace that my dad gave me for my birthday. I searched everywhere inside my house and even asked the hotel's staff for it because I'm willing to pay big time if someone finds that necklace and it ended up with Ares, the guy who I slept with last week."Do you want me to feed your or you want to feed yourself?" I turned to Ares coldly and I took my fork right away. I stabbed the french fries with the work and look at Ares ready to kill him.I ate my fish and chips slowly that it looks like I only took a bite out of it. I gave half of it to my dad and just looked at the other half blankly."Do you want to order something else, Rosie?" Mrs. Collin asked and I smiled politely to her and said
Ares Collin"Fine.. strip!" I said as I gestured to her body but before she could do that. Someone rang the doorbell and I heard Mason's voice. Shit! I got up and quickly pulled Roseanne towards my room."Stay here and never come out.""Why should I? I'm not-""Just do it or else you will get into trouble." I said and I left her inside my room. I walked towards the door and opened the door to see Mason and Josh."What are you guys doing here?""Oh come on.. we miss you already and besides we have to celebrate that we fully move to New York." Mason said and my eyes widen."Yes.. let's celebrate." Josh smirked as he showed me a pizza box and s
Roseanne WestI sat awkwardly on Ares' sofa and I kept feeling nervous. I kept trying to act normal but I can't. I can't believe that I just agree to this deal. I hate it.. I really hate it."Here you go." He said as he gave me a glass of water. I nodded and took it from him. I drank it and turned to the TV calming myself down."What do you want to watch?" He asked."You pick." I said."Can you come and sit closer? You're sitting on the edge of the sofa. I don't bite, Rosie." He said as he patted the spot right beside him. I looked at him and slowly move closer."You only move an inch." He said flatly."I'm comfortable this way." I said and
Ares CollinI went off to work completely with zero mood. Someone decided to ruin my god damn mood last night. Thanks to her, nothing worked for me since this morning. Fuckin' hell.I threw my bag to my chair and I pulled my tie off because I can't breath. We just started and she's already pissing me off. What kind of species is she? Is this a curse or what?"Wow.. what's with the mood today?" Josh asked as he brought me a cup coffee."Don't start, Josh. I can punch you in the face right here right now.""Who pushed your button? Oh.. and you owned me some explanations because I helped you yesterday." He said as he sat in front of me."Is Mason here?" I asked as I sat down on my chai
Roseanne West"I can't believe you drag me here again. I have other things to do." Stefan hissed as we walked into costco. I ignored him and I took one trolley for us to put things inside. I walked to the cereal section and bought 7 packs of cookie crips because it's my favorite."You need to stop eating cereal only, Rosie. It's not good for your body, you need to have a proper meal." Stefan said and I just gestured him to shut up.I walked to the frozen food section and bought a lot of chicken nuggets and french fries. I dragged Stefan to the cake section too because I want cheesecake so bad."I always wonder why haven't you die yet because you always eat junk food.." Stefan hissed and I glared at him."Shut up." I said an
Ares CollinI walked to the door when I heard the doorbell rings. I opened it and saw Rosie standing in front of my door. She's wearing denim shorts and a grey tank top revealing some skins. What kind of test is this?"Why so early?" She asked coldly. What a great way to start my morning? I was greeted by an ice princess."Come in." I said and I quickly ran back to the kitchen to check on my eggs. I turned off the stove and put the eggs on the plate. I put a plate full of eggs and bacon in front of Rosie and she looked at me with questioning eyes."Eat it.. we'll go out after this.""I never agree to go out, Ares. I hate being surrounded by people." She said coldly and I sighed."Ca
Roseanne WestWhen Ares was busy with his camera, I decided to put my earpods on and turned on some music. I put my attention to the waves and closed my eyes feeling the wind blowing through my face. I took a really deep breath and let it out slowly. I hate to say this but.. I quite enjoy spending time out here.I opened my eyes and turned to find Ares but he was nowhere so be found. I got up immediately and started to look for him. I gulped nervously when I can't see him around me. I ran back to the car but he's not there.I started to panic and my blood started to rush quickly all over my body. I kept running around to look for him but still there's no sign of him. When I was walking and running around to find him, there were a bunch of men walking towards me.I
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
Roseanne WestWhen Ares slowly turned his body away from me, I turned on the lamp beside my side of the bed. I took my iPad from the table and started to continue to write my book.Break up.What if.. maybe in the future.. we break up? Will I be okay? Will he be okay? Will everything be the same or I will have the same breakdown?I hate to think about it but.. it's something that I have to.. risk in the future. Saying yes to date him was a really big deal to me.I kept writing and writing my book when suddenly Ares turned his body facing me. I smiled looking at him. He surprised me by coming early and even came to the set to be with me. I caressed his head and kissed his forehead.H
Ares CollinRosie is currently staring at my hand and looking at it like she's observing it for some reason. She suddenly put his hand slowly on mine and then she intertwined her fingers with mine. I chuckled seeing her being so curious and just trying to express her feelings."Aren't you tired?" She asked me suddenly as she put the left over crust to the empty pizza box."Yeah." I answered honestly and I turned to her. She's already looking at me and she smiled."Take a shower and go to sleep.. I'll take this out." She said as she tried to pull her hand away from mine. I held her hand tightly making her confused and she tried again but I shook my head."You're tired.. your e
Roseanne WestAfter eating real quick, we walked back towards the building. We walked inside and guest what? Bryan bumped into us at the front door."Hi, you must be Rosie's boyfriend." Bryan started the conversation."Yes, I am. You are?" Ares answered in a cold tone but still manage to be polite."I'm Bryan Rodes, the producer here and Rosie's uhmm we knew each other." Bryan said nervously."Everyone, let's continue!" Sarah called us in."I have to go.. you'll wait here right?" I asked Ares and he nodded."Okay.. go in there." Ares smiled to me and gave me a peck on my lips. I walked inside the auditioning room again and sat next beside John. Bryan
