( Destined To Meet )
By Noel Innocent
Chapter Five:
Zoe
Closing my eyes I groa-n at how bright the light is, stretching my hands I frown, moving it around I couldn’t find my alarm clock, who took it ” I swear am gonna kill martin!” groa-ning I sit up and finally look at my surrounding
Everything that happen last night came back to me in a swift motion, the blood, me losing conscious and Mr silver telling me his name
Ares
I smile at that but the moment my gaze land on the clock my smile vanish, am late for school, mum and dad will be so worried that I didn’t come home last night
Grabbing my wig I fix it properly on my hair before running out of the room, my feet stopped on its own and I look around, this place is different from the house he brou-ght me last time
This place looks like a mansion, my gaze follow different rooms, over ten of them but the largest caught my eye, that have to be Ares room, maybe he is still asleep. I should wake him
Walking towards the door, the moment I tried pushing it a voice stopped me ” sorry for the intrusion but Mr hell dislike other people from entering his room, the number one rule here ” turning to my left I stare at the man dress in a Butler uniform ” am Charles ”
Stepping back I smile ” am Zoe, do you have any idea where Ares is ”
” right in the living room miss Zoe ” nodding I walk past him, I stare at the elevator then the stairs, who puts an elevator in his house. Shaking my head I run down the stairs, stopping I grin widely as my gaze fall on Ares
His head place lazily on his hand while he stare at the news paper in his other hand like someone for-ced to read ” good morning Ares ” his gaze met mine for a brief second before returning back to his paper
Sitting next to him I couldn’t help but stare at his face, he is just too perfect, his perfect pointed nose, those li-ps and his eyes, his eyes just keep drawing me close, asking me to un-derstand them but it seems difficult
kis-sing his cheek i watch him furrow his brows ” I thought that’s what pet do in the morning ” a co-ck y smile rose in the corner of his li-ps, he drop the newspaper and relax his back on the couch
” what make you think you’re my pet little mouse ” he stare at me obviously waiting for an answer
” are you rejecting me again Ares ” I asked, he sigh closing his eyes, his li-ps moved a little before he gasp
” Zoe, I dont make nineteen years old ladies my pet ” he stare at me now ” you’re still young…Virg-in??”
” No ” I lied in a hurry ” am not a Virg-in, I have fu-ck ed lot of boys ” Ares li-ps curved up before he chuckle, I never thought this man knows how to laugh like this
Even tho it didn’t reach his eyes, he still look breath taking ” little mouse” he clear his throat ” I know you’re a Virg-in. I hate when people lie to me ”
For some reason I feel incredibly sad ” sorry ” I muttered before wrapping my hands around his wai-st and burying my face in his che-st ” make me your pet, I want to be with you ”
” you don’t know what pets do little mouse ”
“Teach me ” lifting my head I stare at his face ” you don’t want to leave your little mouse alone right ” batting my eye lashes I did my puppy eyes and stare at him, his li-ps grow into a smile before he run his hands throu-ghhis hair then look elsewhere
” fine ” he muttered almost like a whisper ” now you can let go ” he shove me off his body then rise to his feet, drawing my attention to what he is wearing, haven’t changed from the suit last night, he doesn’t even look like someone that went to bed last night ” don’t you have somewhere to go little mouse?”
I nod ” I do but am scared I won’t know the way back here ” he take off his jacket and loosen his tie ” am already late for school tho, I could just spend the….” He cut me off
” go home little mouse….my pets always live in my house but you have nothing to wear, you need to pack some clothes and inform your parents about your decision of living with your master ”
” or I could say boyfriend ” his gaze met mine and he sigh shaking his head
” whatever little mouse ” he proceeded in walking upstairs ” I will send a car to pick you up by seven” after that he walk out of my sight, I blink thrice
My life sure is changing, becoming someone’s pet is really something else ” you can do this Zoe ”
……
“You won’t believe what happen to me Zoe, I thought I was getting kidnapped last night….where were you ” may nag on and I keep putting my clothes in my luggage ” where are you going Zoe ”
” am going to Ares may” sitting next to her on the bed I hold her hands ” trust me on this one okay, I will keep coming to school, I will read my books but I just want to be with him, I don’t know why but he makes bu-tterflies appear in my tummy and before you ask, mum and dad thinks am moving to my own apartment ”
” is he nice ” may asked while I nod ” if he tries forcing you to do anything come back home Zoe ”
” I promise ”
Ares
“Their population has increa-sed over night Sir, we have no idea how they keep multiplying even tho we kill them multiple times ” Xar said
” the descendants seem to have someone who keep increasing their powers, the source seem to be radiating from something ” Zar purred ” Mr hell? ” dropping the papers down I stare at them
I will be lying if I said I heard a single word they said, my thoughts seem to have wondered elsewhere ” the marks at the descendants ne-ck, what do they look like ”
Xar inch his brows high but still answered ” five moon tattoo ” Zoe happen to have five star tattoo. That’s extremely strange
” what we need to do is to find one of the counsel, question him then kill him but….” I was cut short as Zoe walk into the house, when her gaze met mine she beam happily, fasten her steps and hug me all of a sudden
” little mouse, what are you doing ” I whisper and watch Zar and Xar mouth open wide, usually I will have pushed anyone that got this close to me without permission
” isn’t this what pets do when they come home and meet their masters” I glare at Xar who seem to be muttering something into Zar ears, exhale I push her away just a little
” go upstairs little mouse, I will come to your room later” she bring her fingers close to my face
” pinky promise ”
” little mouse ” watching her face I just notice how serious she is about this pinky promise, sighing I bring my fingers to hers and cross it
She ran upstairs and my cold eyes meet Xar before he say something stupid, he rise his hands up ” I was saying that she didn’t even notice us, her face beamed up and she ran straight into her masters arms and since when did you treat your pet so….kindly”
” this particular pet seem to be unripe and when you mal handle an unripe fruit it gets rotten ” I said, a smile growing in the corner of my li-ps, none of my pets have ever have the guts of touching me without permission before
She is the first person that didn’t flinch when I glare at her or even when I show her something that will make others run from me ” are we done here” standing to my feet I give them one last glare before walking upstairs
I could still hear murmurs from them but I ignored it completely as I step into Zoe room ” Ares” she sit up and drop the note she must have been reading, she is wearing this brown pajamas and her wig looks ridiculous
Leaning on the door frame I stare at her ” take off your wig little mouse ” I watch her did that without complain and her red hair fall down freely ” I have rules zoe, firstly you must never enter my room, secondly you must be back from where ever you went to before six, thirdly you must not ask for me to love you no matter what ”
” and if I break any of those rules”
” you get punished little mouse” her eyes widen at that but it quickly disappear in a mere second
” I can do whatever I want apart from those three” nodding she jump to her feet and move towards my direction wrap her hands around my ne-ck, is this little mouse going to kis-s me
lic-king my li-ps in anticipation, she lift up her feet but her li-ps didn’t meet mine instead it met my forehead and I was left shocked, surprised and once again speechless
” good night Ares” she stare at me smiling brightly but I couldn’t bring myself to smile back, not use to it
