      I went off to work completely with zero mood. Someone decided to ruin my god damn mood last night. Thanks to her, nothing worked for me since this morning. Fuckin' hell.
      I threw my bag to my chair and I pulled my tie off because I can't breath. We just started and she's already pissing me off. What kind of species is she? Is this a curse or what?
      &quot;Wow.. what's with the mood today?&quot; Josh asked as he brought me a cup coffee.
      &quot;Don't start, Josh. I can punch you in the face right here right now.&quot;
      &quot;Who pushed your button? Oh.. and you owned me some explanations because I helped you yesterday.&quot; He said as he sat in front of me.
      &quot;Is Mason here?&quot; I asked as I sat down on my chair.
      &quot;He's in LA so.. chill. It's just you and me.&quot; He said and I sighed. I closed my eyes and leaned back to my chai

      &quot;I can't believe you drag me here again. I have other things to do.&quot; Stefan hissed as we walked into costco. I ignored him and I took one trolley for us to put things inside. I walked to the cereal section and bought 7 packs of cookie crips because it's my favorite.
      &quot;You need to stop eating cereal only, Rosie. It's not good for your body, you need to have a proper meal.&quot; Stefan said and I just gestured him to shut up.
      I walked to the frozen food section and bought a lot of chicken nuggets and french fries. I dragged Stefan to the cake section too because I want cheesecake so bad.
      &quot;I always wonder why haven't you die yet because you always eat junk food..&quot; Stefan hissed and I glared at him.
      &quot;Shut up.&quot; I said and after that I brought the trolley to the checkout section. Stefan helped me with everything an

      I sat awkwardly on Ares' sofa and I kept feeling nervous. I kept trying to act normal but I can't. I can't believe that I just agree to this deal. I hate it.. I really hate it.
      &quot;Here you go.&quot; He said as he gave me a glass of water. I nodded and took it from him. I drank it and turned to the TV calming myself down.
      &quot;What do you want to watch?&quot; He asked.
      &quot;You pick.&quot; I said.
      &quot;Can you come and sit closer? You're sitting on the edge of the sofa. I don't bite, Rosie.&quot; He said as he patted the spot right beside him. I looked at him and slowly move closer.
      &quot;You only move an inch.&quot; He said flatly.
      &quot;I'm comfortable this way.&quot; I said and he decided to let me sit there. He gave me the box of pizza and I took one. I ate it slowly and Eden came to my side which made me more comfortable. I patted his head as I ate my pizza.
      &quot;Do you like romance movies? Action movies? Or..&quot;
      &quot;Anything is fine.&quot; I said and he played 13 going on 30 which was my favorite movie. I love that movie and I always replay it all the time. I put my legs up and put my attention to the movie.
      &quot;Do you love this movie?&quot; I jumped when I heard Ares' voice. I turned to him and nodded.
      &quot;I wanna ask you something.. what exactly your occupation?&quot; He asked.
      &quot;I told you already, I followed my dad around all the time.&quot; I hissed coldly and I bit into my pizza after that.
      &quot;Why is it so hard to believe? I don't think you're a spoiled child.&quot;
      &quot;I am.&quot; I said right away and he just shrugged which is good. I put my pizza down and got up from the sofa. I felt so uncomfortable to be in one room with him, I always feel like someone chocking me all the time.
      &quot;What are you doing?&quot;
      &quot;I want to go home. I don't like being in the same room as you.&quot; I said and he got up too.
      &quot;What? What's wrong? I didn't do anyt-&quot;
      &quot;That's the point. Look.. I can't do this okay? It's making me anxious and go crazy. I don't like being with a stranger.&quot;
      &quot;I'm not a stranger.&quot;
      &quot;Well technically you are.&quot; I said coldly and he looked at me confuse.
      &quot;I'm your dad's friend's son.&quot;
      &quot;We just met today.. I mean we met last week but still.&quot;
      &quot;Fine, I'll let you go today but you need to give me your phone number.&quot; He said as he put his phone in front of me. I gulped nervously and shook my head.
      &quot;I'll keep my promise instead. I'll come here every Saturday. Will it be okay with you?&quot; I asked as I pushed his phone away from me.
      &quot;I need your phone number, Roseanne. What if I have something important going on and I can't contact you to let you know about it?&quot;
      &quot;Uhmm..&quot; I sighed and I gave up. I took his phone and put my phone number on his phone. I gave it back and he smiled big time like he just won a battle.
      &quot;Happy now?&quot; I hissed coldly and I took my bag with me walking towards the door. Before I can open the door, Ares grabbed my hand and that scared me. I pulled my hand away from him.
      &quot;Where do you live? I can drive you home.&quot;
      &quot;I.. uhmm no. No thanks.&quot; I said and I opened the door.
      &quot;I'll see you next week then.&quot; He said and I just nodded lightly. I walked out from his apartment and he closed the door. I walked to the lift and pressed the button.
      What did I get myself into? I think agreeing to Ares wasn't a good idea.
      I went down to my floor and walked into my apartment. I threw myself to the sofa and turned on the TV. As usual, being at home is the best feeling ever. My phone rang suddenly and I automatically accept it because I know only Carrie who will call me.
      &quot;Hey Car-&quot;
      &quot;Rosie.&quot; I threw my phone completely shocked to hear who's on the other side.
      &quot;Rosie, it's me, Ares.&quot; I took my phone from the ground and gulped.
      &quot;Uhmm why are you calling me?&quot; I asked carefully.
      &quot;Did you take a taxi? I was going to drive you home but I don't see you at the lobby.&quot; He said and I sighed.
      &quot;Uhmmm yeah.. I did so.. no worries.&quot; I said quickly.
      &quot;Okay then.&quot; He said and I quickly pressed the red button. I quickly saved his number as 'Don't Answer This Number' because I don't want to talk to him or even answer his call. I turned off my phone and I just casually watch a movie.
      After that I decided to take a shower and put on my pajamas. I turned on my laptop and started to write a new story. I brought my laptop to the living room and started to write there with Boyz II Men's song blasting inside my house.
      I turned on my phone to call Carrie because I need to ask her some questions relating to love. Everytime I write something, I always ask her since she's an expert and she's married to my brother so it will be easier to imagine how love works.
      Before I can call Carrie, there is a message coming in.
      Got home safely?
      I deleted it right away and proceeded with my call to Carrie. I called her but there's no answer. Maybe she's busy or maybe she's on an airplane somewhere. She'll call me later.
      &quot;Darling I.. I can't explain whether we lost our way..&quot; I started to sing the song. Suddenly someone called me and when I saw the phone screen, I pressed the red button right away.
      Someone rang my door bell and I got up walking casually towards the door. Carrie or Stefan better bring some good news or else I will ki- Ares?
      &quot;Wha- what are you doing here and how d-&quot;
      &quot;I asked my dad to call your dad asking for your address and wow.. you live just 4 floors below me but you told me that you took a taxi home.&quot; He hissed coldly and I looked at him pissed. I crossed my arms in front of my chest.
      &quot;Listen asshole, I want to have my own privacy here yet you keep trying to contact me. I hate it! I don't need someone to worry about me or even text me. Now, are you happy that you know my house now? Just because I agree to your sick and crazy deal, it doesn't mean I will open up 100% to you.. let alone 100%, I won't even open up 1% to you.&quot; I hissed angrily and he took a really deep breath. He let it out and he looked at me completely out of words.
      &quot;I'm not your girlfriend or your friend, you don't need to worry about me. You don't need to care if I get lost, if I die or if I got rape. It's my business.&quot; I hissed and he looked at me coldly.
      &quot;You're unbelievable.&quot;
      &quot;Just go back and never come here again.&quot; I said and I closed the door in front his face.
