My ex's dance partner

20

I cuddle with my daughter for the last few hours before I have to leave. I kissed her head and savored the feeling of having her in my arms. I opened my eyes and saw Aresius staring at us with soft eyes and lips twitching upward.

"Papa." Maya made grabby hands towards her father and he came closer. She, with those tiny little hands of hers, tried to pull him down next to us.

Him being smitten for his daughter, pretended to be dragged down by the little girl's strength and laid down.

His side brushing mine and looked up at me. "Will you play with my hair too?" He asked, trying to imitate puppy eyes.

I discreetly flipped him off, but then he grabbed my hand and put it in his hair. I gave up after trying to pull back and not succeeding so I started running my fingers through his black locks.

He let out a sigh and slumped down against me, placing a hand on Maya so she doesn't fall down. I looked at both of them and chuckled quietly at how they look the same when they sleep.

Both has their hair all over their pillow, which in this case is my thigh, their bottom lip jutted out in a pout and their long lashes touching their cheeks.

I hesitantly run a finger over Ares's cheek, just under his eyes and he leans into my touch, like he knows it's me even in his sleep.

I snap myself back to reality and just run my fingers through their hair until it's time for me to leave.

I pick Maya up from my chest and turn Ares on his side so I can place her next to him. As soon as she's on the furniture his hands shoot out to pull her to his chest.

As I turn around to sneak out a hand grabs my wrist. "Where's my goodbye kiss?" Ares asks sleepily.

"Ares, stop joking." He cracks one eye open and looks at me before letting out a breath through his nose and closes them again.

"Who said anything about joking?"

I let out a shaky breath and go closer when he tugs at my hand. I crouch down next to them and first kiss Maya's head then turn to him.

He lays there with his lips puckered up slightly and I laugh at this. I lean down and place a soft kiss on his cheek then pull back.

His eyes shoots open and he sends me a glare. In return I smile at him and the glare slowly disappears. "Be safe. If anything happens, you call me and I'll be there as soon as possible."

"I will, I promise. And you two," I point my finger at them. "No causing any trouble, understand?"

He nods and snuggles against Maya's head to hide a smile. "Yes ma'am."

I turn around and gather my stuff, putting on my shoes then quietly opening the door and leave. I get back to Jake's slower since I decided to walk. I open his front door and see him on the couch with a beer in his hand.

He looks up at me and makes a disgusted face. "The whore decided to show up." I ignore him and go upstairs to pack a few things.

Apparently he doesn't like being ignored because he follows me upstairs. "Did you stay with him? Did you get fucked by him?"

"Of course I got fucked by him. How do you think Maya was created?" I ask, not looking at him.

"You want to have an attitude with me? If I were you, I'd be careful with my words. Only a button push and your disgusting little body will be all over the world."

I stay quiet.

"That's what I thought." He slams the door shut on his way out. I let out a sigh and slump down on the guest bed.

I cover my face with my hands and try to think about good moments, not wanting him to ruin my mood.

A smile rises on my face when I remember this morning with those two goofs. It seems that Ares and I are starting to get warmer around each other. We no longer bicker as much as we used to and instead joke with each other.

I finish packing and load everything in the car. I get in the drivers seat, since Jake has been drinking and start the engine once he's seated as well.

He punches in the destination into the GPS and I follow the way. It takes us a whole five hour to get there, not taking pit stops because I want to be there as soon as possible.

We get out the car, seeing another one parked next to us. I assume it's his mother's, but take a double look when I see another person getting out of the car.

Fucking Angela

She snarls at me and skips over to Jake, practically feeling him up. I turn around because if I keep looking I might just throw up.

"Jakey, I missed you so much." She leans up and kisses his cheek while looking to see If I'm watching and when she realizes I couldn't give two flying fucks about them she lets out an annoyed huff.

I send Ares a quick text, letting him know that I just arrived and he wrote back a 'be safe' answer.

I put my phone away and get my bag out the truck of the car. I walk up to the front door and wait for one of them to open the door. It's his mom who does and she goes in before me.

I roll my eyes and step inside with the other two behind me. "Angela, do you want to go to the beach?"

"Oh my gosh, yes! I got a new bikini just for you." She passes by me and sends me a fake smile.

I can feel that this is gonna be a long two days.
