25

Instead of retuning home, I decided to stay at Ares's and the two of us thought of watching a movie together since we had nothing to do.

We crashed on the bed in Ares's room and watched 'The Old Guard' as neither of us had watched it before.

Ares had his arms around me as my head was resting on his left shoulder. I never used to do these things before, watching movies together with a guy, that was so not me. But somehow, with Ares, it was different—he was different.

"I'm hungry," he mumbled which made me chuckle, remembering that he just ate breakfast a few minutes ago, "you just ate pancakes, glutton."

"What did you just call me?" Ares asked and I looked up at him to see him raising his brows, staring at me.

"You really are deaf. Go have your ears checked up."

"It's human to get hungry," he said innocently before a small smirk found it's way onto his face, "a fat ass like you should know that."

"Did you just call me fat?"

"Are you deaf?" Ares asked, using her own words against her.

"Screw you Ares fucking Salvatore—" I rolled my eyes as I continued, ignoring the pure amusement on his features, "I'm not fat at all. You're not only deaf but also blind."

"I already screwed you Alexia fucking Ivanov," he smirked, his tone matching mine, "you're not only deaf but also blind."

"What are you trying to do?"

"What are you trying to do?" He asked, raising his brows as he mirrored my expression.

"Fuck you," I was about to get off the bed when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him.

I was straddling him. My legs were on either side of him as his hands rested on my hips to hold me in place. He was staring at me with a smirk on his face, amusement filled in his eyes making me roll my eyes. He fucking called me fat, that little bastard—

"I was trying to piss you off," he spoke after a few seconds of silence which made me roll my eyes again as I responded, my voice filled with sarcasm, "congratulations! You were successful!"

"Your father must be looking for you," he muttered, his eyes fixed on my slightly parted lips as he licked his own.

"I don't think so," I approached my face to his before connecting my lips to his. His grip tightened on my hips as he parted his lips to give me access. The moment he did, I refrained myself from smirking before biting his bottom lip, hard enough to make it bleed then I parted away instantly.

"What the fuck—" he exclaimed, placing a finger on his lips before bringing it before his eyes to see blood on it. 

"That's for pissing me off," I said, getting of him instantly.

"You'll pay for this." He groaned, standing up which made me run away. I was behaving like a god damn child and I couldn't care less. I was running when I heard footsteps behind me.

"Come back here!" He shouted as he tried to catch me.

"No," I chuckled, descending the stairs, "catch me if you can."

"You're behaving like a five year old," Ares said as I stopped right in my tracks, my eyes falling on someone who was standing in the doorway with his hands in his pocket, looking highly amused.

"I've been standing here for five whole minutes and nobody had noticed me until now," Xavier spoke up with a smirk. "Won't you invite me in?" Xavier asked to which Ares frown before replying, "You're already in."

"True, true," he laughed before he walked further inside and sat on the couch.

"Won't you introduce me to her?" He asked, looking at me as a look of realisation cross his features, "oh wait, we already met, at the party. I'm Xavier in case you forgot. Alexia, right?"

I nodded in response before looking at Ares who was now standing beside me with an arm casually draped around my waist, "he's your best friend, right?"

"No," Ares shook his head, smirking at Xavier as he added, "he shouldn't even be here right now." Xavier faked a pout and gasped dramatically, "you won't throw your children's godfather out of the house. I'll always be welcomed in here."

"Children's god father?" I repeated, raising a brow in confusion.

"The one who you'll be carrying soon, darling." He responded, flashing me a wink as he did so making me roll my eyes before flipping him off with a fake smile. He dramatically widened his eyes, his hand going to his heart, "oh my god—"

"—why are you here?" Ares asked, cutting him off.

"To visit my friend who forgot me," he responded, "I came to remind him that he has a best friend." Xavier crossed his legs, crossing his arms behind his head. Ares leaned, his lips brushing against my ear as he whispered, "watch him saying we're going to party."

"We're going to party tonight!" Xavier exclaimed as if on cue. I glanced at Ares and saw him shooting me an ‘I told you so’ look while Xavier continued to speak, "you, me and," he pointed to me, "my darling."

"Where?"

"Club," he replied to Ares's question, "your club."

"Alright," Ares muttered as Xavier stared at him for a few seconds, narrowing his before asking, "Bro, what the hell happened to your lips?"
