UNLEASHED: The power within

CHAPTER 13

Groaning, I get up from wherever I was sleeping clasping my pounding head. It takes a minute to register what happened, no it can't be true. There is no way that man came to this apartment asking for me specifically. It was just a crazy ass dream. I guess my unusual dreams are getting to my head, this is bad. I'm just glad they are only dreams because if they start to...

''Shey, are you okay?" Black's voice breaks through a train of my thoughts pulling me back to the present.

I open my eyes trying to reply to Black but the face in front of me has me holding my breath in panic. I discreetly pinch my thigh thinking I am dreaming but no, I am not. I open my mouth and shut it and open and shut it again words stuck in my throat. I pock his hand and he just look at me confused but I have to be sure.

''You see him, right?'' I whisper to Black making sure I am not crazy.

Black sighs, ''Yes, are you okay? What happened?''

I ignore Black, ''Ares, how?''

''Yes,'' he answers with a deep voice, his intense electric blue eyes piercing through my soul, at least that is what it feels like. He leans forward and places his big palm on my forehead, ''are you okay?'' I find myself compelled to nod against his hand.

"Wait a minute, so your name is Ares," I say snapping out of the trance I was in, I hoped I am wrong, but I know better.

" Ah Shey, do you know this dude?" Black asks but his questions are the least of my problems right now.

"How can men from my dreams exist? I thought they are just mere dreams." I say to myself, my head spinning with confusion. This is not happening.

Ares clears his throat, " I'm glad I had a chance to grace your dreams princess" he says with a grin showing his perfect white teeth. Somehow my confusion is amusing to him and that annoys the hell out of me. Something inside me snaps, I don't want to see his face anymore. The more I look at him the more hurt fill my heart. I have no clue where it is coming from. I can feel this heaviness in my heart, and I know he caused it.

"Please leave" the words fall out of my mouth without thinking. Yes, some part of me wants him to leave but the other wants him to stay, like forever. Ahh, I loathe their impeccable everything.

His face instantly drops making my heart break into tiny pieces, "what?" He asks frowning not believing it either.

I hate the look on his face right now, I miss his smile "How did you even find me, and why?"

" A secret for another day" he winks at me, but waves of sadness are rolling off him. His statement brings back the memory of Dimitris. He had said the same thing. Except Ares has wrecked emotions inside of me that no one has ever done. Inexplainable hate and love for him run through my veins. He is suffocating.

I stand up from the couch and walk to the front door, opening it "can you please leave." I say with a hoarse voice. Emotions I didn't know existed had me choking the moment I opened the door. Something inside me wants to shut it and jump on his bones but I can't do that, can I? See, he is too much. His aura, presence, and whole being is too much. I need to breathe, I can't breathe with him here, yet I know I can't live without him either. He has opened gates that were closed inside of me, for good reasons.

He walks up to me with a sad face, "what a shame, I would have loved spending time with your love" I caused this, I am the reason for his sadness, and I hate that. I want to be the source of his happiness. I want to be the very thing he lives for. All this, I just met him and now I want to be the reason he smiles. How is that possible? I don't understand any of my thoughts.

My eyes lock with his and I can't hold it anymore, a tear slides down my cheek before more start flowing. The look on his face is not helping it has opened the floodgates. I don't know why my heart aches so much for him. My mind is logical, he is a stranger, and the best way to deal with the situation is to kick him out, right? Besides, I know he has hurt me deeply, but I don't know when or how I just feel it. My heart is saying otherwise though,
