Loving Lies (Book 2)

Chapter 24

"Finally," I groan as Aros unlocks his door. I open it and walk in to see him in his extra clothing. It looked good, but what was the occasion?

"What's the occasion" I ask. I myself was in a Navy blue and gold dress.

"You," he says, grabbing my hand and twirling me. He finishes off the twirl by pulling me in, making me roll my eyes.

"You're such a crackhead," I tell him.

"Only for you," he says with a wink. I scoff and roll my eyes again as he smiles. There was that look again.

"Uh we should go," I say and move back as I noticed his face lean in a bit. Was he about to kiss me?!

"Yeah, lets," he says and walks past me, "last one there is a loser!"

"I'm in heels!" I yell.

"Too bad!" He yells back. I use the air around me to pick me up and fly past him. I turn around and wave as I land in front of the dining room. A guard opens it for me and I walk in as a panting Aros comes in after me.

"Loser," I whisper. He rolls his eyes at me.

"Aros you still lost?" Raynor asks. I look up to see him and my "dad."

"Daughter!" Aesir says as he approaches me. I nod and he gives me a hug. My mind flashes back to when he slapped me and I just felt....scared.

"Let's feast! (Y/n) you will be next to me," Aros says as he pulls me out Aesir's grip. I give him a grateful smile and we sit down. The servants bring out the vast variety of foods and I thank them as they set the items down.

"Thanks Aros," I whisper. Her smiles at me and begins to eat. I eat a bit as well, still not having a big appetite.

"You only took a few bites (y/n), please eat more," Raynor asks me.

"She can eat however much she wants, I won't have her throwing up because she ate too much," Aros tells him without looking up. Damn was this my Aros? I look from him back to Raynor.

"I'll have a bit more," I tell him as I eat some more.

*Mini Timeskip*

"Nothing has changed here," I tell Aros as we swing and look to the lake.

"Is that good?" He asks.

"Yeah....sometimes no change is better," I say as I look at him. He smiles and I give a small back. I see Hades rolling in the grass in the corner of my eyes so I shift and look at him.

"Must be nice to be a horse....no drama," I mumble.

"They also get to roll in dirt," Aros says. I roll my eyes at him.

"You can roll in the dirt," I tell him.

"It isn't proper," Aros says, shaking his head. Bruh fuck proper.

"Come here," I tell him as I walk closer to the lake.

"What?" He questions.

"Do you see that fish?" I ask, pointing to a non existent fish. He bends down a bit to peer into the water with a frown.

"No...." he trails.

"It's right there Aros, stop being blind," I tell him. He gives me a side look and bends down more to find the fish. I take that opportunity to push him. He flails his arms, trying to grab something but I move back.

"See Aros now you just like Hades!" I say, laughing. Hades neighs behind me.

"EVEN HE AGREES!" I say, laughing harder. Aros gets out the water, soaked, and gives me a glare as half his face was covered by his hair. He flips it away and glares harder.
