Masked Feelings

Chapter 18: Cupid And Stupid

"Athena! Come play with me" Thomas said as he pulled on my hand. I smiled and nodded. Rose and Jace were walking around, hands in hands. My sister and Dean were sitting on the bench while staring at us. I knew that they wanted to be left alone and I didn't want to be the third wheel. Damian was somewhere around.

As I approached the area where kids usually play, I sat next to Thomas who was staring at the other kids playing. I nudged him and motioned him to go towards the others. I knew that he was really fragile and he shouldn't be putting much effort in any activity that he does. But still, I wanted him to play with the other children.

"Damian! Come play with me" I heard Thomas shout to him. I turned around and saw Damian's sexy self walking to us while tucking his phone in his pocket.

"Sure" he answered with a cheery smile. I watched as Thomas pulled him to the football area and they started playing. A little boy walked to them and I quickly recognized him. Aross!

"Goddess of wisdom!" A smile spread on my face when I saw Ross coming in my direction.

"The guy with the not-so-unique name!" I greeted cheerfully as he sat next to me.

"You're more cheerful than the other day" he pointed out. I nodded and motioned to my little brother.

"That's my brother, playing with Aross" I said and he smiled.

"What's his name?"

"Thomas" I told him.

"And who's the man with him?" he asked as he eyed Damian.

"The future brother-in-law's brother" I said, now my eyes fixated on Damian. As If he felt that I was staring at him, Damian rose his head to look at me. His eyes soon traveled to the person next to me, which happened to be Ross. He narrowed his eyes and I noticed how his demeanor changed.

"And why is he glaring at me?" Ross asked as he shifted in his seat, feeling slightly uncomfortable. I shrugged and turned my attention to Ross.

"Why didn't you text me?" I asked, trying to change the topic of the conversation and by the smirk present on his face, I knew that I succeeded in distracting him from the glaring monster.

"I didn't know you were waiting for my text" he nudged playfully, pride radiating from him.

"I wasn't" I laughed. "it's just weird when someone take your number and you don't even have theirs" I explained. He grinned as he rose his two eyebrows.

"Smooth way to ask me for my number, Athena" he teased, making me huff.

"You're impossible" I laughed but then stopped when I felt a presence behind me. I turned to see Alena staring at us with a huge grin on her face. Ross turned as well and stared at both of us.

"She's your sister" he concluded and i nodded. "You look alike" he said and Alena and I scoffed at his words. We looked nothing alike.

"I'm Alena. And you are?" she asked as she pushed me aside and sat in between Ross and I. Yes. That would be something my sister would do.

"I'm Ross" he said as he placed his hand in front of him. My sister shook his hand and turned to give me a big smile.

"How come i never met Ross before?" she asked.

"It's the second time we're meeting" I told her. Ross nodded while smiling. Alena gave me a wicked grin before turning to Ross.

What the hell is she going to do?

"Well, Ross," she started. "I'm getting married in six days and I would really appreciate it if you come" she said, making my eyes widened. Ross stared at my sister as if she lost her mind. Infact, i think she lost her mind. She was trying to do something.
