Owned By a Greek god

**** JASON P. O. V ****

I sent everyone away, and from what I thought and knew, no one stayed behind. I wouldn’t wait either if I were them.

I sighed as I looked around the empty house.

“Wow, Weldon, bro!” As Ryan walked into the house, he said.

“Where did you go? I wanted you to help me, but you were nowhere to be found.” I told him to face him.

“Brother, duty calls. I knew you could handle things by yourself. So, brother, how did it go?” Sitting on the couch, he asked.

“It was normal and kind of awkward. Some of them were happy, some of them let it go, and some of them were still mad.” I said sighing.

“Brother, you did the right thing. Melina will always be happy for you wherever she is.” I laughed at what he said.

“Don’t say that person’s name. I don’t want to think about that name any more.” I said that you should get up and walk to the bar.

“What are you going to do now?” As he came up to me, he asked.

“I was going to drink until I figured out what to do next with my life. Now I don’t have Melina or fun.” I said I was getting a drink for myself.

“There’s nothing fun left? There is fun, of course. Melina is the only one not here. I’m still here, and it’s still fun.” I sighed when he said it.

“I can’t see how I could have fun. All of my toys are gone, and so is the one that made me feel human.” I said drinking it all in one gulp.

“You can’t think about her all your life, Jason. She did what she should have done, and if she wants to come back, that’s fine. We are leaving.” He said this as he tapped my shoulders.

“Ryan, I’m not going anywhere. Stop trying okay?” I told him, and he just shook his head.

“No you are. Who knows, maybe you’ll see a woman who looks even better than Melina. You would like her for sure.” I shook my head when he said that.

“I don’t believe that.” I replied by getting another drink for myself.

“Jason, I know you love her, but she’s gone. You can’t just come here and do nothing with your young life. You need to get over it.” I sighed when he said it.

“I’m not sure if I love her or not. But I don’t want her to be too far away from me. Isn’t that being selfish?” He told me no when I asked.

“That’s what we call love gone crazy.” He said this as he helped me get out of my chair.

“You can’t make me Ryan,” he said. I said sighing.

“I can, yes.” He told me he was dragging me into the room.

“Okay fine. You win, and I’ll go change.” I told him, and he grinned.

“Good boy. Together, we are going into the room.” I looked at him as he spoke.

“Why? When did you turn gay? Don’t forget that I’m your brother.” We both laughed at what I said.

“You know I am not saying that. I need to make sure you don’t jump out the window while pretending to get dressed.” He said this, and I nodded as I walked into the room behind him.

“Ryan I’ve noticed that you always bring up Melina and me. But what do you think? What’s up?” He laughed when I asked.

“I’m awesome. You can’t see how happy I am, can you?” I said yes when he asked.

“One thing about you I will never forget is that you are very good at acting. You might just be pretending to be happy.”

“Don’t you have any friends or family now?” He told me no when I asked.

“Nope. Not after the one who turned me on left me for someone else.” I sighed when he said it.

“That’s exactly what’s going on with me. I know it won’t be easy to get out of this.” I said sadly.

“Mine is not the same as yours. She said she loved me, but Gracie always told me to my face that she hated me. That’s something good.” I looked at him like he was crazy when he said that.

“What’s up? Because she doesn’t like me and then left?” He smiled when I asked.

“When someone says “I hate you” over and over again. It’s not true that he or she hates Jason. When someone says that, they are trying to hide how they really feel. It makes sense that she should hate you and not the other way around.” As I put on my Blazer, he told me.

“So you’re saying that she only said that to cover up the fact that she likes me?” I asked happily.

“I got it, bro.” He said cheerfully.

“But she left anyway.” I said becoming sad again.

“Don’t you think that if she said she wants to stay back, it would sound crazy to everyone, especially Harrison? That was just to prove that she should hate you and that she shouldn’t be with the person she says she hates.” He said.

“What do you know? I no longer want to talk about her. She did a good job of bolstering. Let’s get wasted.” I said I was leaving the room.

“He’s there. I need my little brother this time.” He said, “Behind you,” and I laughed as I left the house.

When we got to the clubhouse, I turned off the car’s engine and parked it where I should have.

I also got off when Ryan did. Ryan and I walked into the clubhouse with a lot of style. I adjusted the hand of my blazer.

“Oh my God. The brothers Emerson.” The women talked quietly right outside the door.

As soon as we walked in, we heard music and found a place to sit. Some of the strippers were dancing, some were kissing, and some were even making out. Some people just sat and drank while others watched.

I guess I would be in that group today. No VIP sex.

We got a chair and sat on it in the middle. All the women were looking at us. It wasn’t a big surprise because both my brother and I are pretty hot. Women are bound to fall.

“Hey, what do you want?” A woman asked, but I didn’t answer. When I looked at Ryan, he gave me a wink. When I looked at her, I could tell she was pretty.

“Why doesn’t he try you out?” I sighed when he asked.

“Don’t mind him. You can go.” I said looking away.

“I don’t want to, though.” She said, “Come closer.” Before I knew it, she was sitting on my leg and moving her hand up and down my chest.

Ryan said in a whisper, “Play along.”

She moved her head toward mine and tried to kiss me, but I stopped her.

“Don’t you dare!” When I yelled at her, she left.

He asked, “Why did you do that?”

“She almost kissed me. And you already know that I don’t kiss.” I said looking away.

“You’re not ready to hook up, are you?” I told him no when he asked.

“Not feeling it at all, Ryan.” I said, and he gave me a shoulder shrug.

“Alright. But I need to get laid right now. Stay calm.” He said standing up and walking away.

I sighed and looked around because I was a little bored. I think I’ll wait for Ryan in the car.

I took a look around and was getting ready to leave when I saw Melina.

“Oh my God. She didn’t go anywhere else.” I said happily. I got up and started walking toward her when I saw Harrison with her and sighed.

As soon as I saw him, I felt sad and stood up to walk away. She seemed glad to be with him. Why are they still around, though?

He said that they were going out of town.

**** MELINA P. O. V ****

“Harrison, we shouldn’t have left the house at all. I’ve never been to a place like this before.” I said looking around. I didn’t like the lights, the music, or the girls.

“I brought you here because of this. You wanted to find out about life, right? Here it is. Let’s start from this point.” I smiled at what he said.

“Thanks, Harrison.” I told him, and he just shook his head.

“Since the morning, you’ve been saying “thank you.” I’m sick of hearing it, so let’s just have fun, okay?” I said yes when he asked.

I looked around to see what people were doing. I felt like I had traveled back in time. Why haven’t I seen places like this before?Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

As Harrison asked for drinks, I watched him. I took another look around, and then I saw a familiar and cute one.

“Jason.” As we looked at each other from a distance, the name kept going through my mind. He was sitting on the couch, and he looked so handsome and trustworthy.

I heard that the maids were let go, and I’m very happy about it. I thought he would kill Clara, especially, but he let her go.

I’m glad that my taking the bullet wasn’t for nothing.

“Melina.” Harrison brought me back to the present.

I said, “Hey,” as I took the drink from him.

“You seemed lost. What happened?” As he looked around, he asked.

“I am fine. I need to go to the bathroom.” I said swallowing hard. I asked a worker where it was, and he showed me.

I stopped what I was doing and went to the bathroom. I walked in and put my head down to wash my face. Right above the sink was a mirror.

After I rinsed it, I turned my head and looked in the mirror to see Jason standing behind me.

“What do you want to do here?” When I looked back, I asked.

“I missed you.” He said smiling. This was the first time I ever saw him really smile.

“Jason Now, I’m with Harrison. And this is a bathroom for women. You have no right to be here.” I said, “I’m looking away, trying so hard not to look at your face.”

“I know. I just wanted to get a really good look at you. To look at your lovely face again.” He put his hand up to my face and said.

I wanted to stop him, but then I realized I didn’t. He ran his fingers over my face, and I took a deep breath along with him.

When he moved toward me, my heart skipped a beat.

“What’s going on?” I asked them to move back.

“I missed the smell of you. I want to give you a sniff.” He said something, and I moved his hand away.

“Jason, stop. I need to leave now.” I said walking away and leaving him standing.

I left the bathroom and went toward where Harrison was.

“What took you so long?” He asked with a suspicious look in his eyes.

“Nothing. You know, I just needed some space.” I said it with a fake smile, and he nodded and took a sip of his drink.

I looked at Jason’s seat, but he was no longer there.

“He went where?” I muttered as I looked around.

“Who do you want to find?” Harrison did this.

“No one.” I said that I was still looking.
