Chapter 30

With Hayley still unfit, Aaron needed to rely on Jessica to take Jack while we were on cases. Getting back from one two nights ago we were exhausted.

Days spent trying to catch the unsub and then on the flight home all anyone did was sleep.

Rolling over my hand hit Aaron's side of the bed, feeling the cold sheets, he had been up for a few hours. I never heard or felt him get up.

Hearing papers shuffling down the hallways I got up, on my way to find Aaron. The floor creaks as my bare feet tapped along the hardwood.

At the end of the hallways I saw Aaron leaning against the kitchen island. His head in his hands, I didn't know what was wrong.

I grabbed my sweater on the couch and walked over to him. I touched his arm, "Are you okay?"

He looked down at me and pushed a piece of paper in front of my view, "Look at this." Averting my eyes I looked at it:

So this is your new boyfriend?... you can do better. Why would you ever leave; we had such a good time. Come on Bear, don't do this to me.

My eyes widened slightly, "Is that who I think it is?"

"That's what he used to call me."

I knew I should've gone somewhere else, not thinking this through of course he was going to find me here. Now Aarons into it... he's my problem not Aarons to deal with.

I walked to get a cup of coffee to calm me down, "If this gets any bigger, I need to call Jessica."

She still had Jack because she knew we were too worn out to watch him. Jack was a ball of energy and at the moment Aaron and I didn't have enough strength to care for him.

"Oh I'm sorry for not saying it but... " Aaron stepped away from the island and walked up behind me, "Morning princess."

I turned around taking a long, dragged out sip while putting up my pointer finger telling him to wait. I set down the cup and hugged him.

He picked me up and placed me on the counter, "There's something I've been meaning to ask you, so first I'm gonna start with-- I love you." He took a deep breath.

"Second, I want you to move in with me", I didn't expect him to ask me. We have been together for around seven months now. Something I almost went by was the 'I love you'.

I was flooded with joy, I knew I loved him for a long time and now it's out in the open.

He put his hand around the back of his neck, "You don't have to answer now but I will hope to ge-." I cut him off, pecking his lips.

I didn't say anything, I pulled away with a smile on my face. "Is that a yes?", I nodded.

"Yeah, I love you."

The smile on his face was wide and bright. He kissed me cupping the side of my face and pulled away. I had a smirk on my face and pulled him towards me again. I wrapped my legs around his waist.

He slowly pushed his tongue into my mouth. The kiss being filled with love and it being sensual. My hands went around his neck tugging on his hair.

His hands made their way down my waist, hips, and under my thighs.

He picked me up swiftly and made our way to the bedroom. He kicked the door shut and laid me on the bed. He hovered over top of me, looking down at me in admiration.

He held himself up while pulling the hem of the sweater over my head revealing the black lace bra I had underneath. He pulled my shorts off my legs, I pulled his shirt over his head, running my hands down his chest till I got to his sweatpants.
