*Aria's P.O.V*

I feel Adonis carry me down the steps, more feeling then seeing because the top of my head is resting against his shoulder. I can see the steps out of the corner of my eye which also contributes to my knowledge. I don't mind being carried by him, it was much funner than walking.

"Now what kind of ice cream do you want?" Adonis asks as he carries me into the kitchen. I hum in thought for a little bit before shrugging. He sat me down at the bar stool. It's kind of uncomfortable to sit on but I don't feel like complaining at the moment. It was fun to complain sometimes but not if it put off me getting my ice cream.

"Well any that you don't like or are allergic to?" Adonis questions and I shake my head, before pausing.

"Nothing with nuts in it," I finally say it.

"Allergic or just don't like it," Adonis probes with a small smile.

"Just don't like it. I mean they're so hard to eat when they're in ice cream," I complain as I rest my head on my hands, putting my elbows on the counter. The counter is cool, feeling almost like ice with how cold it is. I shiver at the feeling before resting my head on the counter since I enjoy the cool feeling on my forehead.

"Don't fall asleep," Adonis says and I huff, closing my eyes. I hear him chuckle but he doesn't dare to move me. The cold just feels so good and I'm still sort of sleepy. I nearly jump out of my seat when I feel a hand touch my arm, only the person grabbing my arm and waist at the same time kept me from falling.

"Easy little one, I didn't mean to scare you," Athena says and I whine, looking at her with a pout.

"You are the meaniest meanie ever," I say as I glare at her.

"You were the one who was falling asleep at the counter," Athena counters. I stick my tongue out before turning to find Adonis. He now has the ice cream out and is scooping it into bowls. I get out of my seat, going over to him. I move over to the other side of him, hiding behind him slightly.

"Oh are you mad at 'thena," Adonis coos and even though I know it isn't a question, I nod my head anyways. I was absolutely mad at Athena. She was such a meanie for scaring me and I didn't think I could ever forgive her.

"Would you like to look at the toppings for your ice cream?" Athena says. Okay, maybe I could forgive her. I glance at her, seeing her go over to a cabinet.

I hurry over to her, clinging to the back of her shirt as I peer around her when she opens the cabinet. They have so much candy in there it leaves me speechless and I reach for it out of instinct. Athena doesn't stop me, letting me grab some bags of Hershey kisses and Skittles.

"Are you going to add both of those to your ice cream?" Athena asks.

"No, only the kisses. I want the skittles to snack on in the middle of the night," I inform her with a grin on my lips.

"Hmm well I don't know if you need to have sugar in the middle of the night?" Athena says as she looks down at me, raising an eyebrow when I look at her with a pout. "You are adorable but pouting doesn't mean that I'll just give in," she informs me, making me huff.

"Addy, you make her let me have sugar?" I question, turning to look at Adonis. Adonis holds his hands up in the air, his eyes widening slightly.

"Absolutely not. I have to share a bed with Athena, she'll be mean to me if I say yes," Adonis says and I hear a scoff escape Athena.

"Don't bully Adonis," I turn to look at her, putting my hands on my hips. It probably doesn't look very intimidating to her, I mean I have two big bags of candy that I'm barely holding onto with one hand, so I'm not that surprised when she rolls her eyes and bends down to my level.

"It's not bullying since I married him. Besides, he's twice as mean to me sometimes," Athena says, her tone sounding amused.

"Am not," Adonis says. I feel something cold hit me in the back and I squeal, turning to look at him.

"That wasn't meant to hit you, I was trying to hit Athena with ice cream," Adonis says as he holds his hands up, the ice cream scoop in his hand. I pout slightly at him as I feel Athena's nails gently run up my back, scooping most of the ice cream off the back of my shirt.

"Stupid man," Athena mutters to me before she leaves my side. Adonis has his back against the counter but he still tries to side step away from her. Athena is much quicker than him though and she smears the ice cream all over his face.

Adonis grabs her wrist, spinning her around so that her back is against the counter. I tilt my head as I look at them, giggling when Adonis presses his face against hers so that she has ice cream on her face. Athena pulls away, wiping the ice cream off and flicking it onto the counter.

"I am going to kill you," Athena mutters, her voice so quiet that I can barely even hear it.

"No you won't," Adonis mutters as he smirks at her.

"Want to bet?" Athena asks. Adonis nods and I see him lean closer, kissing her. I wrinkle my nose up, shaking my head slightly.

"You two are gross," I inform them very seriously, rolling my eyes slightly when they pull apart. They should have kept their PDA away from me.

"Oh are we now?" Athena asks as she leans against the counter while Adonis turns to face me. I know the look in their eyes and I take off right as she flicks ice cream at me.

"Can't catch me," I call back to them as I run off. I hear her laugh before I glance back and see Adonis chasing me. How is he so damn fast?
