I sat down on my bed, scrolling through my Instagram feed as I waited for her to finish showering.

I texted Solana and let her know that Lauren and I were on good terms and kept her up to date about Diana's situation. Safe to say, she wished she never left so soon because she would kill Diana herself. Currently, I had Diana in one of the dungeons.

Was I going to kill her?

I don't know yet.

I might make an example out of her.

Who knows when she'll come to use?

Lauren soon came out of the bathroom and I looked at her.

Woah, she's pretty.

I mean I knew that before but damn.

Seeing her all to myself now, I finally realize her beauty. She's wearing a red tank top and grey boy shorts. My eyes met her face and I took time to exame her features.

She has a beauty mark on her jawline and another one on her chest. Her lips are two-toned, her top lip being pale pink and her bottom lip being a light, pale?

black. Her nose fitted her lips and her eye structure.

Lauren's doe eyes stared right back at mine.

Her lips were moving but I wasn't hearing a single word coming from her.

My eyes roamed down her body and I took my itsy bitsy time to admire every inch and curve of her body.

She's wearing a bra and the red tank top she's wearing hung loosely over her figure. The grey boy shorts were tight in the waist and loose in the foot area. Her wide hips were evident from the front and I wanted her to give me a spin.

Lauren wasn't wearing anything sexy and she looks sexy right now.

I need to take her out.

"I've been speaking to you for the past few minutes and you've just been looking at me."

"My bad." I said and licked my lips. "What were you saying?"

"That I'm not going to take the day off and I need to work."

"There's nothing for you to do." I told her.

"Your room needs fixing and your office and bathroom and.. the throne room. There's things that needs to be done, your lunch needs to be delivered to you. I've already missed out on your breakfast."

I let her catch her breath before responding to her.

"I appreciate how you are into what you do but take the day off." I told her.

"Athena, no."

Mm.

"I wasn't asking."

Lauren narrowed her eyes at me.

"You can serve me lunch and fix the bed." I told her, knowing that she wasn't going to give up.

"And?"

"Nothing else." I told her.

I honestly can clean up after myself. I just tend to leave extra work for her to do so that she could linger and her scent would stay longer so I'd have something to come back to.

Gosh, I know. I'm very pathetic.

Lauren sighed.

"Fine."

I smiled.

"Good. Now sit down and eat up." I patted the bed beside me and she came and sat down.

I rested the tray on her lap and she started eating the waffles.

Lauren finished eating a few minutes later and I teleported the tray down to the main kitchen.

"Okay, so tell me something about you." She said as she turned around until she was in front of me on the bed.

"No."

"No?"

"No." I repeated. "Leave that for the date. If we talk about that now then I won't know what to talk about on the date."

"Date?"

I glared at her and she folded her lips and didn't say anything.

Good. She knows better than to question me.
