"What are you doing here?" I turned to him.
"I'm Raymond, nice to meet you." Raymond put his hand in front of Ares and he took it.
"Ares, Athena's boyfriend." He said and I elbowed him.
"I see." Raymond nodded. The food came in time and I'm so excited for this.
"Eat up, you need to eat your medicine." Raymond said and then he turned to Ares. "You need make sure she never eats oyster again, her allergy-"
"I know about it, you don't need to remind me." Ares said in a cold tone and I glared at him.
That's the biggest lie and he's not even in front of his family.
"Okay, that's good. Athena, please don't forget to eat it." Raymond said and smiled. I gestured to eat.
"I have my medicine at home but I never realised that I will get it again because I never eat ." I said.
"I see.. it's good to know that you know your own allergy and how to handle it. Some people 't take it seriously but I'm glad that you did." He said and he took a bute.
"You're a doctor?" Ares asked.
"He was the doctor that.. saved me, Ares." I said and Ares nodded. We ate in silence because Ares, we can't talk much because Ares will judge and throw cold remarks. This annoying jerk!
I paid the bill as a thank you for saving my life earlier. He helped me a lot too.
"I have to go first, thank you for the meal. I'll see you again." Raymond said.
"Thank you again.."
"It's my job." He smiled and then he left. I turned to Ares and looked at him coldly.
"You!"
"What?!" He raised his eyebrows.
"You told me that you will only claim me only in front of your family. Why are you-"
"You haven't see the rules?!" He cut me.
"I don't have time for that and I'm not dating him!"
"Still.. looks like a date to me." He said and I sighed.
"He was the one who saved me, you don't need to be a jerk." I hissed.
"But still.."
"You can date too.."
"I'm a man with my words, Athena. I won't date other girls while we're in a relationship."
"And thank you for today.." I said.
"You're wel-"
"Thank you for bringing my allergy back, Ares Anderson." I cut him and I walked out from the .
"Where are you going?!"
"Home!" I pointed at my apartment building.
"Are you for real? You're just going to pick a random guy to eat with you?" He said and I looked him disbelief. Is he really going down that road?
"Listen, Ares. I'm here to act with you, you made it pretty clear that we're not going public and will only pretend in front of your family. You're the one who said that and I don't care if you tons of girls right now. I can do whatever I want, I can date other people too. It's none of business!" I bursted angrily at him.
"Raymond was the one who saw me collapsing because of my allergy. This is my way to him!" I added.
"Fine. Let's erase rule number 23 then.." He said.
"Okay, I have to go. I'm tired and need some rest." I said and walked across the street to my and Ares followed me. I sneezed al of the sudden because it's cold.
"Can you sneeze the other way?!" Ares hissed.
"I-" I sneezed again.
"Athena!" He protested.
"Sorry.." I said and smiled at him.
"You're not sorry." He said and I chuckled.
"Before I forgot, I'm pretty busy this week so.. you're free."
"Yes!" I squealed.
"You'll miss me.." He said confidently.
"Nah.. I think you'll be the one who miss me." I chuckled.
"Wow.." He pretended to be hurt by touching his heart.
"Your kind of busy is busy dating girls right?" I asked.
"Are you jealous already? We just erased rule number 23.."
"Jealous? When pigs fly.." I scowled.
"Whatever." He walked to his car and I walked into my apartment building. I'm so tired today, not mention after that allergy reaction. I need some rest.
A week after that, I was busy getting my restaurant ready for opening. In 3 days will be the opening day and I'm so excited. This week, I never seen Ares. We didn't even contsct other too.
Today, my close friend, Clara will come to the restaurant to hang out.
I turned to the clock and it's 8 in the morning. My staff were already here and I have my favorite.
Her name is Grace. She's so bubbly and cute. She's my assistant and will be helping as a too.
My phone rang and it's Ares.
"Hello." I said as I picked up.
"We need to hangout because my grandma, mother and sister were asking about you. We're to Vegas, we have a house there. I'll pick you up at 10.30?"
"Are we going to stay the night? Or?"
"We're staying for 2 nights, they said they want a short holiday and they want me to bring you."
"Ares, the restaurant will open in 3 days so.."
"Don't worry, you'll come home before that." He said.
"Okay then.."
"Athenaaaaa!" Clara bursted into my kitchen and she froze since I was still on the phone. She and gestured me to continue.
"Okay, I'll get ready then." I said.
"Good, I'll pick you at your apartment." He ended the call and I turned to Clara. I hugged her and hugged me tighter.
"I miss you!" Clara said.
"I miss you too." I said pretending to cry.
"Who was that?"
"Ares."
"Wait! What?!" Her eyes widen. "Ares? Like that Ares Ares?!" I can't believe she said it out loud.
I pulled her out from the kitchen.
"Are you kidding me? You're dating him? No one ever date that man.. We didn't see each other two weeks and suddenly you already have a boyfriend and that man is Ares Anderson?!"
She freaked out.
"Not technically my boyfriend, I'm not dating him for real. I'm his fake girlfriend.."
"What? You're his fake girlfriend? What for?" She's confused.
"He said his family always force him settle down. He's tired hearing it and last week was his 's birthday, he told her that he will bring his girlfriend so he chose me. He said I can a secret and I have a good background."
"Really?" She narrowed her eyes looking at me suspiciously.
"Why would I lie?"
"No.. not that. Do you know what will happen if a girl and a guy pretending to be in a fake ?" She smirked and winked at me.
"You watch too many drama, Clara."
"Oh.. you'll see and you'll thank me later.." She said confidently.
