Kill for Love

Chapter 41 - Back From the Beginning 4

About fifteen minutes, Athena saw Ares walking from the entrance of the bar. No matter how dim the light is, she can still recognize him. She noticed that all the women in the club were all eyes at Ares. Her charisma is indeed irresistible.

She saw Ares look at what seemed to be a phone and put it against his ear. He was looking around and she’s guessing that he was looking for her. She felt her phone vibrate and wickedly smiled at the phone. She waited for a couple more rings before she pushed the button to answer the call.

“Ena, where are you?” Ares asked even before she can say, ‘hello’.

“Just walk straight. I’m at the bar counter, sitting on the barstool,” she instructed.

Ares stops looking around and his eyes went to the front where the bar counter is. He saw Athena waving her phone. She’s smiling at him. Ares shook his head. Just by looking at Athena, he can definitely tell that she is drunk.

“What happened to you?” Ares asked Athena the moment he reached her side.

“Ummm, I don’t know what you meant by that but I’m drunk I guess, as you can see?” Athena answered still in slurred speech. She giggled. She tried to stand up but her knees were getting wobbly that she almost fell. It’s a good thing that Ares was quick enough to hold her waist.

Athena giggled. She wrapped her arms around Ares’ waist and pressed her bosoms to his chest.

“Hey, easy.” Ares pushed her a little bit to put a space in between them. “What I meant is, why did you drink too much? You were never like this whenever we went to a bar before. Do you have a problem?” Ares asked worriedly.

Athena giggled while putting her arms across Ares’ neck. “Problem? Nah!”

“C’mon, let’s go,” he said while guiding Athena out of the bar going to his car which was just parked on the side of the road.

Athena keeps on giggling every time she stumbles which makes their body closer. Ares felt eternity going to his car. He was already tired from the long drive from Surigao and now Athena was definitely not in her right mind. He carried Athena in a bridal way which gives Athena the opportunity to wrap her arms around his neck and pushes herself closer to Ares.

She had been dreaming to be this close to him and this is a dream come true for her. She puts her head on his shoulder and tilts it a little bit so she can smell his neck. She smiles in satisfaction when she smells the familiar manly scent of Ares mixed with his favorite perfume.

"Athena, knock it off or I might drop you," Ares warned. He didn't know what happened to him but what Athena's doing is affecting him so much. A fire that's starting to burn.

Athena didn't listen and just kept on smelling him. Ares started to feel uncomfortable but something inside him likes what Athena's doing. He put Athena down when they reached his black Mercedes-Benz S-Class coupe car. He opened the car and guided Athena to sit in the shotgun seat. He also made sure that the seat belt is securely fastened before going to the driver’s seat.

He looked at Athena first who seemed to be sleeping already before starting the car going to Athena’s house. Not too long, they already arrived at Athena’s house which is in the exclusive village. Before entering the village, there is a guardhouse that checks and takes note of those who will go inside the village.

Ares stopped the car by the guardhouse when he saw a guard signaling him to stop. He rolled down the window and smiled at the uniformed security guard.

“Good evening, Sir. May I know where you’re going?” the security guard politely asked.

“I’m with Athena Ellis. She’s beside me and I just need to drop her off,” Ares answered.

The security guard looked through the window to see Athena but because her face was covered with hair. The security guard can’t recognize her.

“Do you have an ID, Sir? We will just look at your name on the computer to see if your name is on the list of the people who are allowed to enter the village.”

“Sure,” Ares immediately agreed. He took his wallet in the back pocket of his pants and took his ID. He immediately handed it over to the security guard. The guard went back to the guardhouse as soon as he got Ares ID.

“Ena,” he called Athena while shaking gently her left arm to wake her up. But it was unsuccessful. Athena is still sleeping like a baby. “Ena, wake up,” he called her again.

“Hmmm…” Athena moaned but still went back to sleep.

Ares sighed.

“We are already here in the guardhouse. You have to wake up so they can let us in,” he said, continuously shaking her arm. He’s getting worried because he knows for sure that his name is not on the list. He did go to Athena’s house before but it was Athena or Cytherea that was driving and it looks like the guard is new too.

“I’m so sorry, Sir but your name is not on the list,” the guard apologetically said.

Ares took a deep breath. He wants to call Cytherea but he doesn’t want to disturb her anymore. He knows that she is already tired from their vacation.

“No worries. I understand you are just doing your job. Can you at least ring their house and let them know that Athena’s here so anyone from her house can pick her up?”

“We already did, Sir but no one was answering. Maybe they are already asleep. It’s almost 3 AM.”

“Okay, no problem. I will come back tomorrow when she wakes up.”

“I’m so sorry, Sir,” the guard apologizes again.

“Yep!” Ares made a salute to the guard before rolling his window up and backed up to drive away.
