We Are The Gods

Chapter 13 🖋️ Irritated

Irritated

Saphria Mieran

Ares stared at me hatefully, his entire body oozing with violence and storm. If I was just a little bit weaker, I would've collapsed on the floor. This kind of rage was different when he threatened me in the gym. If that was his true anger, then this one might just be the cause of the world's collapse.

I don't know when this anonymity between us started but it looked like he really was just playing around before.

Right now, he looked like he was truly irked as if I touched a sore spot or accidentally stepped on his tail. I must've done something to anger him, and I might have a hunch about what it must be.

I must be really so brave to even try to provoke a god.

"What?" Pabalang kong tanong.

Ares didn't move. He just stared- or maybe glared at me. He's been glaring at me for so long that I might've already started a tea party right here.

His jaw tightened. "Katharma."

My eyelid twitched. Bastard? Bastard?!

Napatayo ako ng maayos na kanina'y bahagya nang nakasandal sa sirang bumper ng sasakyan ko kakahintay sa sasabihin ni Ares. Pero sana hindi na ako naghintay.

Ang gagong 'to ako pa daw ang bastard. Parang nalugi pa ako kasi siya ang nakaunang uminsulto sa'kin.

"What did you say?" Hamon ko sa kaniya.

His brows raised. "Eisai ein katharma, den akouses the eipa?"

(Translation: You are a bastard, didn't you hear what I said?)

Peke ko siyang nginitian. "Say that again?" patuya kong sabi sa kaniya bago ako dahan-dahang naglakad papunta sa kaniya. Ares didn't move an inch but his glare intensified.

When our distance closed by about half a meter, I stopped. "If I was a bastard, I would've already punched you in the face until it is completely swollen by now, your highness. Do you know how expensive that car is?" turo ko sa sasakyan ko.

Ares didn't look at where I'm pointing, his face turning colder by several degrees.

The side of his mouth twitched. "Blepo menu skoupidia, prinsesa."

(Translation: I see nothing but garbage, princess.)

My fist started to itch. He even switched his language for the nickname. I didn't know gods were this talented when it comes to insulting people. Bago pa ako tuluyang magwala sa galit ay agad akong pumikit.

"Why did you do it?" Opening my eyes, I calmly asked.

Ares' head tilted to the side. "Ékana?" Did I?

"Ares!"

He scoffed. "Angry?"

I inhaled a lot of air, and my patience waned even more but I was able to regain my calm back. I know why he's doing this, and although I don't want to give him satisfaction by getting this annoyed, I just couldn't help it. 

"What do you want from me?" tanong ko sa kaniya.

Bago pa ako maka-react ay bigla nalang lumapit ang mukha niya sa'kin na halos ilang dangkal nalang ang distansya. "Apologize."

"I'm sorry."

"..."

Para siyang natigilan sa sinabi ko at ang kaninang galit sa mga mata niya ay naglaho na parang bula. Sa sobrang tagal niyang natulala sa'kin ay bigla siyang naging cute sa paningin ko.
