Chapter 354: Double-Minded

Athena sighed, unsure why she was feeling this way, this restless, this uncertain, when her date partner was Antonio.

She turned to the side, then to the other side, watching herself in the mirror, watching her body clad in a red fitted gown that stopped on her knee, with a sling-back black heel.

Not hot. She thought. Just modest enough not to put across an information that she wanted sex alongside the date.

A deep inhale. Maybe she had been too fast agreeing to this date?

Maybe she should have taken more days of rest? Use that as an excuse perhaps when he had asked her out?

A deep exhale. But she had only wanted to just stop him from hunting for more information, hence the ready agreement to the date.

Now, Athena was thinking that she had made a wrong call. A knock sounded on the door.

Please be Gianna. She chanted as she walked toward the exit, to let in her visitor.

Unfortunately, it was just Aiden.

Much worse, the fellow had no sense of fashion, not even when his daughter is in the fashion biz, an upcoming model.

"Aiden, good evening..." She turned away, toward the mirror again, trusting he would shut the door after him.

"On a date? The lad really didn’t waste any time, did he?" A chuckle. Shutting of the door. "I will have to sing his praises when next I see him... he really has guts."

Athena frowned, having a feeling that her date for tonight and Aiden’s subject of praise wasn’t the same person.

"Who again are you talking about?"

Aiden paused, eyes narrowed. "Ewan, of course. Who else would have you looking at the mirror a hundred times per minute?"

"Maybe Antonio. He is my boyfriend, remember?"

Athena watched Aiden mouth an Oh, with a slow nod, and no words to accompany the revelation. He rather found his buttocks a seat, and crossed his legs.

"You are not going to say anything? Like you are happy that I’m going out with Antonio, and not Ewan, considering the past we’ve shared?" Athena couldn’t help but seek Aiden’s input.
