I would take a shower, but I did that last night. Ace likes to shower every day though because he has a thing about germs. I don't like to shower every day because then my hair gets dry, and I want to keep the natural oils in my hair. I do wash my body every day though because I always feel gross when I don't.
I go over to the vanity in the bathroom and walk past Ace who is in just a towel while brushing his teeth. He smirks at me as he watches me walk past him in the mirror. I sit down on the chair in front of the vanity.
I don't really wear that much makeup. I just started putting concealer on under my eyes because I started to look like a zombie. I have eyelash extensions, so I don't really do anything for my lashes.
When I start to put concealer on my face, I feel Ace come up from behind my chair. I look at him through the mirror and see him smirking.
"Wipe that smirk off your face," I say as I take my beauty blender and start blending in the concealer.
"Why are you wearing makeup?" he furrows his eyebrows down at me.
"You ask me that every morning and every morning I say the same thing. I have bad eye bags. I don't want people to see that."
"But you’re way more beautiful without it, love. Who are you trying to impress anyway? I'm all you need," he says cockily.
Does he really think I'm trying to impress someone?
I hate it when men assume just because we wear makeup or try to look nice, it's for them. I want to wear makeup, so I feel better about how I look. Not to impress anyone. I could care less if someone says shit about how I look.
I ignore Ace while blending the concealer and then once I am done, I turn around to meet Ace's eyes.
"You really think I'm trying to impress someone?" I say in a serious tone.
Ace then widens his eyes realizing that I am getting annoyed. "What? No. It was a joke. Calm down."
"Calm down?!" I say and stand up to my full height.
“Amore. You’re overreacting. I said you don't need makeup. What's wrong with that?" he asks. “It should be a compliment, yes?”
"You didn't just say that. You think I'm trying to impress someone just because I wear makeup or try to look nice, which I'm not. I don't need to impress anyone, Ace," I say and walk past him while shoving his shoulder.
I don't say anything as I walk out of the room.
While walking downstairs I get a text from my mom saying that she is on her way. I text her back ‘okay’.
I see Lana when I go inside the kitchen along with Layna and Cole sitting at the dining room table eating their breakfast.
"Good morning, Aria. Do you want something to drink? I'm about to make coffee right now. I also made eggs and bacon if you want some," Lana offers.
"No, I'm good. I'm not really hungry," I say as I sit down next to Cole and Layna.
"You look mad. What's wrong?" Layna notices.
She always knows when I’m mad.
"Ace," I state in an annoyed tone.
"What happened? Do I need to kick his ass?" Cole says defensively.
"No, he is just being annoying," I mutter.
"How?" Layna asks.
I sigh before talking. "He thinks I'm trying to impress someone because I'm wearing makeup. How ridiculous is that?" Cole starts laughing which makes me and Layna both confused. "Not the reaction I was expecting,"I state.
"No. It- it's just...why are you mad at that?" Cole says as he tries to calm down from laughing.
"Because he can't just say that," I say rolling my eyes.
