One and Only

Ch. 2

The kiss is amazing. We melt with every motion. I pull away realizing that Emma is outside waiting for me. "What's wrong?" Aaron asks. "I just realized Emma is waiting for me. I have to go." I run downstairs and head outside. "Where have you been and why do you still have your clothes?" Shit. "Oh, um, I had to go to the bathroom and I don't know why I still have my clothes." "Um, okay. Get in the water is great." I jump in and Emma was right the water is amazing. We both jump on the big flamingo pool float and lay in the sun listening to the music Emma is playing through her speaker. While on the float all I can think about is Aaron and our kiss. All of a sudden, I hear splash and Emma yells, "Aaron, what the hell!" I open my eyes and see Aaron come up from the water. Wow, he looks really hot. "Sorry, I wanted to cool off." "Why couldn't you have just walked in instead of jump in and get me and Sarah wet!?" Emma yells still very mad. I honestly didn't mind. "Oh, come on! I just wanted to see you two wet and I wanted to see you get pissed at me" He says pointing to Emma. "Well you achieved that!" Emma says. Aaron smirks and I go under water. When I come up Emma looks at me and says, "I'm going to get out. You coming with me?" "Um, yeah. I'll be out in a minute. I'll meet you inside." "Okay," Emma says as she gets out, wraps a towel around her, and goes inside. "Why are you out here?" "It's my pool," Aaron says really cocky. "No, shit. I mean why did you jump in knowing Emma would get pissed off." "Because I wanted to get her pissed." "You are such a loving brother." "I know." I swim to the steps and as I am getting out Aaron grabs my arm. He kisses me and I pull away. "You have no idea how much I want to kiss you again, but I can't, I'm sorry." I get out of the pool, hear Aaron go back in the water, wrap a towel around my body, grab my clothes, and go to Emma's room. I get to her room and she is sitting on her bed. "Is everything okay with you, Emma?" "Yeah, I'm fine. I was just looking through Timothee's Instagram and he is with his ex-girlfriend." "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I know you have a massive crush on him. Who knows, maybe it is just a summer fling, they will breakup and you and him will get together this year." "I hope so." "If you want I can pick up a pizza and we can sit and watch the Notebook." "I would love to. Sounds like a plan." "Okay, I will get changed and go pick up a pizza."

30 minutes later

When I get to Emma's house I park behind Aaron's car to piss him off and head inside. I put the pizza in the kitchen and tell Emma the pizza is here. I see Aaron coming down the stairs and head to the kitchen. Emma then comes down the stairs and grabs a slice of pizza. The three of us eat and Aaron turns on the TV. "Ready?" I ask. "Yeah, let's go." Emma and I then go upstairs to the movie room and watch The Notebook. I make sure to grab a box of tissues first, because I can never get through the movie without crying. Once the movie is over and my tissue is soaked Emma and I decide to go to bed. By the time we are ready for bed it is 11 o'clock, by 1:30 AM Emma is dead asleep and I am wide awake. I can't seem to get what happened with me and Aaron out of my head. I decide to get up and go to the kitchen to eat some ice cream. I grab the strawberry ice cream, a spoon, and sit at the dinner table. After a few minutes I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. I look at the stairs and see Aaron coming down. "Hey," he says. "Hey." "Couldn't sleep?" "Nope," I say as Aaron grabs a spoon and sits across from me. We share the strawberry ice cream in silence until Aaron asks, "Why are you up?" "I have a lot on my mind. You?" "Same. I can't get what happened today out of my head." "I can't either." "You know I actually really like you." I choke on the ice cream and say, "Wait what?" "You know what, forget I said that." "No. No. No. I...I like you too." A smile appears on Aaron's face and he looks down. "Really?" he asks, still looking at the table. "Yeah. I actually have for a while, but never said anything." "I have liked you for a bit too. I never thought that I would fall for my sister's best friend." "And I never thought I would fall for my best friend's twin brother." "We should go out." "Like on a date?" "Yeah." "I would love to but, I can't, if Emma found out that we were dating, she would hate me." "Why?" "Because freshman year, when you 'glowed up', Emma, Hailey, and I made this rule that we would never date each other's exes or siblings." "That sucks," Aaron says as he sighs and leans back in his chair. "I know." "How about this, when you leave I can tell Emma that I am going to a friend's house and I can bring some food and we can have a date at your house. Emma would never have to know." I think about it and realize that it is actually a good idea. "Deal, but Emma can never know that we are in a relationship. I want to tell her when the time is right." "I understand, I don't want you two to lose each other. I know how much she cares about you and how much you care about her." "Thank you." "So...girlfriend, boyfriend?" "Girlfriend, boyfriend," I say with a smile and get a spoon full of ice cream. After about 15 minutes we decide to go to bed. Aaron walks me to Emma's room and kisses me on the check. I smile and walk inside. I close the door and lean up against it with a smile on my face. I can't believe Aaron Coleman is my boyfriend.
