|Chapter fifty three|

"....Hey...." I breathed out finally managing to breathe.

My body was on fire. I felt like being on cloud nine with me still being beneath Aaron.

"Hello there Muffin," he smiled showing off his perfect teeth. "Don't you look all hot and beautiful? And nice dress by the way."

My eyes widened at this. Did he just compliment me?

Instead of showing my nervousness I decided to play along. "And you're ruining that dress right now by literally pinning me down."

"Oh I bet you love this position don't you?"

Well..how could I deny that now.

He leaned down brushing his nose with me. "I know you do," he answered for me.

Okay, we need to get some things clear here. Is he bipolar? Because one moment he is so close to me and the other moment he's turning me down like wtf?

"Aaron.." I said pushing him back by his shoulders as he looked confused but he should know what I'm trying to do.

"Pushing me away Grayson? That's very unlikely of you." He said trying to be offended as he got off me.

"Yeah that's your thing to do." He looked a bit taken aback from what I said and I regretted as to how it came out. "Look Aaron..you can't just do this and then turn me down the next moment like..it's confusing and it's not right."

By the look on his face it seemed he understood what I was trying to say.

"Anyway," I sighed getting up and straightening my dress. "Why are you in your room when there's a huge party going on downstairs?"

"You know why I'm here."

"Aaron your mom is so worried downstairs. She's getting uncomfortable when guests ask about your whereabouts and what does she say then? Oh he's just locked up in his room because he and his daddy are having some issues?" I said changing my voice a bit on the last line.

"You really shouldn't do that," he teased.

"Shut up. And get ready you're coming downstairs."

"I'm not." He said sternly.

"Why not? What's so hard in going downstairs and just being there for sometime? If not for your dad atleast do it for your mom Aaron." I walked to him and stood in front of him as he was still seated on bed.

"I—"

"No excuses. You're going down and that's it. Change, hurry up. We don't have all the time." I walked towards the window and there was a tuxedo lying on the couch. I grabbed it and handed it over to him. "Here you go." I smiled at him as he glared at me.

He walked inside the bathroom and came out changing into a black pants and black jeans and had a blazer on his arm. Oh boy....he looked devilishly handsome. His hair was all set, the shirt clung to his body so perfectly as he looked hot. He caught me staring at him and smirked as I immediately turned around and busied myself with the books present on his desk.
