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 .
