Chapter 7

Roseanne West I've been so stress lately looking for my necklace. It was the necklace that my dad gave me for my birthday. I searched everywhere inside my house and even asked the hotel's staff for it because I'm willing to pay big time if someone finds that necklace and it ended up with Ares, the guy who I slept with last week. "Do you want me to feed your or you want to feed yourself?" I turned to Ares coldly and I took my fork right away. I stabbed the french fries with the work and look at Ares ready to kill him. I ate my fish and chips slowly that it looks like I only took a bite out of it. I gave half of it to my dad and just looked at the other half blankly. "Do you want to order something else, Rosie?" Mrs. Collin asked and I smiled politely to her and said no. "You said you want to gain weight but you don't even eat your food." Ares commented and he really pissed me off right now. I wanted to smack him so bad. "Mind your own business." I hissed at him coldly. "Don't bully her, Ares. This is your first meeting." His mom said. "Oh yeah.. first meeting." He said in a sarcastic tone and we both know that this isn't our first meeting. "So Roseanne, what's your ideal type of men?" Ares asked. "Well.. They should have 4 legs, they bark, they love balls and they're loyal." I said smiling to Ares and he just rolled his eyes. "You love dogs? Ares has 2 dogs at home." Mr. Collin said. "Oh really? Yes.. I love dogs." It's true though. "I asked her to buy a dog but she never wants it. She said that she won't be able to take care of it because sh-" I glared at my dad because he almost spilled my job. "She's not responsible." My dad said and I rolled my eyes. "You can come to my house and play with the dogs. How's that?" Ares offered and I think that's the best chance for me to take the necklace from him. "Sure. After this?" I asked cheerfully and he nodded. "Great. That's great." My dad said and I know he's happy that I'm trying to my friends but sorry dad, I'm trying to get my necklace back not trying to be nice. I ate the rest of my fish and chips slowly when our parents just talked about random things. Me and Ares just stayed silent all the time. After lunch, we all walked outside and they started to hug each other before going away. "Rosie, don't be cold towards Ares and please be nice." He said to me and I nodded. "I promise." I said nodding and my dad got into his car and left. Mr. and Mrs. Collin hugged me briefly and I thanked them for lunch. They're so nice and sweet but not their son. I bid them goodbyes and they left leaving me and Ares alone. "Let's go." He said and I followed him towards his car. I got into the passenger side and put my seatbelt on right away. "Do you really like dogs or are you just putting a show to get the necklace?" He asked. "Both of them." I said honestly and he shook his head. He put on his seatbelt and he started to drive away. We both stayed silent inside the car and I don't even want to make a conversation with him. "Uhmm.. where are you going?" I asked him because it's like he's going towards my apartment. "My apartment, where do you think I'm going?" He asked and I just stayed silent. So.. he lives in the same building as me? I'm not surprise because he's rich and this apartment is quite expensive. He parked his car inside and I got out from his car. "Where did you find the necklace?" I asked him as we walked towards the lift. "It's on the bed. I found it when I tried to find my phone." He said as he pushed the button. "Now name your price.. I want it back." I hissed coldly. "I don't need money, Roseanne. You and I both know that and besides it won't be easy for you to get that necklace back from me." He said smirking and the lift door opened. "What do you want? Don't tell me that you want more sex." I looked at him suspicious. "You're not that tempting to me anymore." He said and I shrugged. He pressed the 34 button and it means he lives 4 floors above me. "Thanks for the compliment." I said and we both turned silent again. When we arrived at his floor, we got out of the lift and he led me to his apartment. He put his passcode and opened the door. He gestured to me to get inside first. Before I could look around, 2 dogs ran towards me and my eyes widened. He has one big grey alaskan malamute and one golden retriever. The both of them attacked me with kisses and I giggled seeing them jumping towards me. "What's their name?" "Eden and Morty." Ares answered as he pointed at the dog. Eden is the alaskan malamute and Morty is the golden retriever. "Hey Morty.. and Eden." I said as I hugged them both and when Ares walked towards the kitchen. They followed him. "Coffee? Water? Orange juice?" Ares asked. "Water." I answered and I started to look at his house. It has the same layout as mine but he has a classy interior with black and white furniture. I walked towards the balcony and looked at the view when suddenly Eden came to me with a bottle of water on his mouth. I chuckled and took the water bottle from him. "Thankyou Eden." I said as I ruffled his head and he walked away. I took off the bottle cap and started to drink the water. "Where do you live?" He asked suddenly as he stood beside me. "Why do you want to know?" I asked. "Just curious." He said and I turned to him. "Give me back my necklace. It's my mom's and I can't live without it." "Why didn't you even try to find my contact and ask me if I see the necklace or not?" He asked. "Just give me back my necklace." "Answer the question." He hissed coldly and I looked at him annoyed. "Why should I contact the person that I slept with? I don't even want to deal with men and you're one of them." I hissed back. "Look.. men population is not as disgusting as you think, Roseanne." "Can you stop calling me that?! You're no one and you don't deserve to call me that." I bursted at him angrily. "Control your temper, beautiful or else that necklace will end up inside the closet." He said looking at me coldly. "What do you want? Tell me because I really want that necklace back." I said and he chuckled before sitting down on the sofa. "Ares.." I said in a warning tone. "Let me be your friend.. for 3 months then I'll give your necklace back." What? "Why would you? Do you hear yourself now? Or are you drunk?" I asked him disbelief. "You heard me." "You're going to die young if you want to be my friend." "Try me." He smirked and I sighed. "I bet you can't handle me." I said confidently. "If I can't handle you anymore, I'll surrender and give your necklace back right away." He said. "You know.. if you want sex, just say it. I can give you one night and you can give me back my necklace." I said and he got up from his seat looking at me with his eyes burning with anger. "Are you seriously that cheap? You didn't even get mad when I took your virginity that night! Now, you're offering me another night just for a necklace?" "It's not an ordinary necklace!" I bursted. "Bet where is your pride? You're a woman for godsake!" He bursted angrily as he stood in front of gesturing me from head to toe. "Why should I care about my virginity? I won't have a boyfriend or a husband and I won't even have a kid. Why should I care? Besides you've tasted me once and what's wrong if I give you another round? It won't matter. Listen.. that necklace is my mom's and she's already dead if you're asking. I can't live without that necklace so stop making it difficult and give the necklace back to me. You and I will be in peace if you agree to give that necklace now." I said truthfully and he sighed. He ran his hand through his hair and he sat down on his sofa leaning his body back and closed his eyes. "I bet you're tired of me and I don't even want to see you again so.. it's a win-win situation." "Nah.. it's not a win-win situation." He said and I sighed. "Then tell me what you want!" "Fine.. strip!" He said as he gestured my body. I smirked and his eyes widen.
