I walked around Natalie's room, throwing a pillow up in the air repeatedly. She told me to come over because she had an emergency, but she hasn't said what it is so far.
She sighed, "Do I wear blue nail polish or pink?"
"Natalie, you know that I love you," I spoke in an overly sweet tone. "But you need to tell me what the emergency is."
Natalie pouted, "Mia, you bitch. Don't you like spending time with me?"
A smile formed on my face, but a deep voice spoke, "Watch it."
Ares was sitting on Natalie's desk chair, watching us with crossed arms. He and I were out getting breakfast when she texted me, so I made him come in with me. So far, he hasn't seemed too impressed listening to us talk about nail polish and dresses.
"Mia knows I mean it in an endearing way," Natalie crossed her arms. "I only call people I like bitches."
Ares leaned forward in his chair, his elbows resting on his knees, "What kind of backward fucking logic is that?"
"It's girl logic. You wouldn't understand Mr. 6'3 bodyguard," she replied while choosing the blue nail polish. "Like here, I like you, Ares. So far. So how's your day been, bitch?"
His eyebrows lowered, and he said, "Could be better."
"And why's that?"
"Cause you're a bitch."
Natalie's jaw dropped, and Ares raised his hands, "What? Am I doing it wrong?"
A laugh escaped my mouth, and Natalie blew on her nails before standing up. She said to me, "Teach your man. I'm grabbing a snack."
She walked past me to go to her kitchen, and I walked over to Ares. I stood in front of him and stared down at him, "Having fun?"
He grabbed my hips, pulling me down to sit sideways on him. He kept his hand on my lower back and the other on my legs, kissing the side of my face quickly. He whispered, "How much longer are we staying here?"
"Not much longer," I told him. "What are we doing after this?"
"H's party is tonight. I was thinking we could just hang out at home together for a bit before that," he answered, moving some hair behind my ear.
I nodded, "How should I dress?"
"However the fuck you want."
I smiled at him as Natalie's footsteps creaked against the wooden flooring. She entered holding an apple, biting into it. After she swallowed, she said, "Okay. The emergency was that I was bored."
I laughed, standing up from Ares' lap even though I could feel him trying to keep me there. I walked over to her and gave her a hug, "I'll see you again soon."
"You better," her eyes shifted to Ares. "And hopefully he has learned girl talk by then."
Ares rolled his eyes, standing up from his seat. He walked over to me, grabbing my hand. As we exited her bedroom, I waved goodbye to Natalie, and then we got into his car.
Natalie can know we are together. Because she has no relation to my dad. But my dad, he can't know about Ares and I.
Once we were back home, I instantly started looking through my section of the closet.
My eyes fell onto a black shirt and black skirt I have. I pursed my lips, thinking about if I'd want to wear them. I pulled them out, holding them up to Ares, who was lying on the bed. I asked him, "What do you think about these?"
"I think you'd look fucking amazing in them."
I looked between them, thinking about if I should really wear them. I asked, "You don't think it's too revealing or anything?"
