When they went out of the salon , Aria looked at the stairs then looked at Helios .
" You have a lot of stairs . " said Aria .
" I also have an elevator since you are tired . " said Helios .
Aria saw him in a shocked way as he pointed ta the elevator .
" ....you have an elevator , you have a cinema , you have a basketball yard , you have a pool , ;you have a giant garden , I am sure you must have an exclusive chef too.....the more I look at your home the more I feel like I am in wonderland . ;" said Aria with a smile .
" He he he he ! It''s just a normal home . " said Helios as Aria stared at him raising her eyebrow . ;
" You are the only one who thinks like that . " said Aria with a smirk then went towards the stairs . ;
" Aren''t you going to take the elevator ? " asked Helios confused .
" It''s more fun sliding the stairs . In my childhood , I used to do this a lot . I kinda miss it . Seeing such long stairs , I am not gonna miss the chance . " said Aria with a smirk .
" Childish ! " said Helios .
" .....Come and try it . " said Aria .
" I will never go along with your childish behavior . " said Helios .
" Fine grumpy old man ! Continue to grow old in that boredom of yours . " said Aria with a helpless movement of her shoulders .
" ....In what way do I look like an old man ? " said Helios with an annoyed smirk .
" Your age ! You are old . " said Aria .
" Hah ?! I am only twenty-six years old . That is not considered old . " said Helios .
" Well , you are fours years older than me . That makes you an old man . " said Aria .
" You..... " said Helios annoyed .
" Since you can''t reduce your years you can try to become a bit childish...Is the grumpy old man scared to slide on the stairs ? " said Aria with a teasing tone as she enjoyed his annoyed expression .
" Who''s scared ? Heh ! You sure you have read the contract I gave you . " said Helios .
" I am on a break today . Checking the contract on a break day.....I will not be able to pay attention to it . " said Aria with a noncaring expression .
" Now , what ? " said Helios when he saw her staring at him in a disappointed way .
" .....I don''t remember why I was frightened by a person who''s afraid to slide the stairs.....So disappointing . " said Aria .
" ...Disappointing ?.....Okay , annoying childish tigress ! " said Helios really annoyed .
Aria laughed in a devilish way and sat on the handrail then looked at Helios .
'' I can''t believe I am going along with her nonsense.... '' thought Helos and sat on the handrail as well .
Aria pushed forward and Helios went after her .
" Wheeeee !!!! " said Aria as she slid down the handrail .
The stairs were so long that Aria and Helios felt like they were inside a tornado . Things looked completely different . For a second he felt like he wasn''t able to recognize his own home anymore . Aria''s hair that kept flying in the air slowly tickled Helios''s face . He looked at her back for a second in a daze . After they slid down the handrail they were arriving near the newel .
" And.....Jump ! " said Aria . ;
Only when she spoke , he got out of that daze state and the two of them jumped . When they landed , it took a second for them to get used to the ground . They looked at the stairs behind them then Aria smirked at him .
" Did the grumpy old man enjoy the ride ? " said Aria .
" Seriously , stop it with this ! Have a look at your hair first , it''s really messy . " said Helios and Arfia immediately touched her hair and combed them with her fingers .
After checking her image from the marble part of the wall Aria turned towards Helios .
" Haaaah ! ;I hadn''t done that in a long time . Your stairs remind me of the stairs at my university . " said Aria with a smile .
" The stairs at your university ? " said Helios surprised .
" Eeee....Anyway ! What do we do next ? " said Aria .
" Aren''t you the one who''s supposed to plan the '' hang out '' ? " said Helios .
" ...True !.....Hmmmmmm...What can we do ?....You mentioned that you have a cinema here . Shall we watch a movie ? " said Aria .
" .....I would prefer something a bit more challenging . " said Helios .
" Aaaaaa ! The....The boss wants things to get more challenging . " said Aria with a devilish smirk .
" Yes ! " said Helios getting closer to her .
" What''s in for this game ? " said Aria with a grin .
" I haven''t decided it yet but....we will definitely put a prize . " said Helios .
" Now , you are being logical . " said Aria with a smirk .
" .....What do you propose ? " asked Helios .
" You have a basketball yard in your giant garden . How about a match ? " said Aria .
" Hmmm...is it a good idea ? " asked Helios looking at Aria .
" What do you mean ? " asked Aria .
" You are so short . Will you be able to catch up with me ? I am worried you won''t . " said Helios with a smirk looking at Aria''s height .
" Pfffhhhh !.....So what ? Napoleon Bonaparte was short too but he ended up becoming a king . Instead of worrying about my height , you should worry about yourself . ;Aren''t you afraid that you are gonna lose ? " said Aria looking straight at his eyes .
" .....What makes you think that I will lose ? " said Helios with a smirk walking near her .
" Because....once the gap between boss and ?ssistant disappears , I can kick your ?ss without any worry at all . You''ll lose ! " said Aria with a smile looking straight at Helios''s blue eyes .
Their faces were really close but both of them had a challenging look on their face . Helios on the other hand was also attracted by Aria''s fighting spirit .
" Okay ! It is decided . " said Helios with a smile then walked ahead as Aria followed him from behind . ;
Helios walked towards the windows and opened a door that was directly connected with the garden where the basketball yard was . When they stepped out , Aria looked at the yard amazed . She had seen it through the window but now that it was in front of her , she found it even more amazing . There was nothing missing . The balls were all lined up and cleaned , the first aid kits were also there , there were two fridges with transparent glass showing bottles of water and lemonade . There was also a giant closet and five big changing rooms . Aria stepped inside the yard shined by the lights on top of the chain wall surrounding the yard stunned . ;
'' Wooooaaa ! '' thought Aria amazed . ;
" Do you like it ? " asked Helios when seeing her eyes checking the whole place . ;
" .....It''s good . " said Aria as if she wasn''t amazed by it at all . ;
" Let''s put comfortable clothes first . " said Helios and walked towards the closet then took out a ;female set of clothes then gave it to Aria . ;
" You have even have female sets of clothes ? " asked Aria surprised . ;
" The female set clothes is an essential must . " said Helios with a naighty smirk ;. ;
" Ewwww ! Did you give the used pair of one of your...crazy fan lovers ?!!!! ;" said Aria checking the clothes in a freaked way . ;
" He he he ! I would give anyone the used set of clothes except you . " said Helios making Aria look at him confused . ;
" Except me ? " said Aria confused . ;
" You aren''t my crazy fan lover , aren''t you ? " said Helios with a smirk . ;
" Of course not ! " said Aria with a firm and determined tone but deep in her mind , she couldn''t deny the admiration that had started to blossom inside her for him . ;
'' Of course not cause you aren''t like those other girls . You aren''t my plaything but my ally . As much as I am tempted by you to cross the line , I will never do it.......Especially when I am not serious . '' ;thought Helios with a bitter expression as he watched Aria''s back . ;
He didn''t want to change things . He wanted to continue remaining like that with her but he wasn''t sure whether he would be able to do that . ;
When walking towards the changing rooms Aria noticed a pool right next to the basketball yard . ;
" Isn''t the pool at the other sose of the house ? " asked Aria who had seeen the pool previously from the window . ;
" I have two pools . " said Helios with a calm tone . ;
Aria looked at him dumbfounded then looked at the pool . ;
" What a useless expense ! " said Aria .
