Lost in lust

Who?

Aurora

I was wrong.

Apparently not showing off my stomach for a couple weeks would be harder than I expected. I kind of forgot that the majority of my wardrobe is crop tops.

I was panicking. But at least I could panic out loud because I was home alone.

When Ares stormed off after our argument; Rowan had gotten an important call about work so he and Ares took off. About 30 minutes after their departure the party began to slow down because majority of the crowd left.

Turns out, After the first hour of the party Rowan had left to his room.

He forced me to throw a party I didn't even want and he barely participated in it. I rolled my eyes and huffed out loud before I heard the front door open and close.

Shit.

I was literally still in my underwear and bra where the bruises on my stomach were visible to the naked eye and I didn't cover up the ones on my face.

My luck for tonight has been non-existent.

I quickly threw on a hoodie and sweatpants and hurried to my bathroom and pulled out my makeup bag and applied concealer.

After I was finished with the rushed job I hurried to my bad even though I was in immense pain.

A gentle knock was delivered to my door." Come in"

" Hey, I just wanted to see how you were doing before I head up to bed" Rowan said as he peeked his head in.

" Oh I'm fine, thank you though. Have a good sleep."

,,,

As you can expect I did not get a good nights rest at all.

I woke up extremely sore and could barely walk. If this was any other circumstance I would've thought I was sore and could barely walk for a different reason but this, unfortunately, wasn't that circumstance.

I was heading downstairs for something to eat when I bumped into Ares.

" Hey" I smiled up at him but he hardly even looked at me.

" Hi" he said as he brushed past me to the stairs.

I watched in shock as he went down the stairs. What the hell is he mad at me for? 

I shook the negative energy off and headed toward the kitchen. 

I reached for the cereal in the top cabinet with a low but noticeable sound of pain. When I turned around I could see Ares looking at me with a concerned expression but I ignored it and sat at one of the island chairs with him.

" Where's Rowan?"

" Got called into work." he said plainly.

" Hm." 

The next few minutes were spent in silence as we both ate. Eventually I finished eating and slid off the chair with another pained grunt that I tried to keep in but couldn't. It felt like I was getting stabbed with burning hot knives repeatedly. I nearly fell when I tried to stand.
