Chapter 18

MARCH 14TH

H A I L E Y

I need more friends.

Reid is my only friend, but it feels like he's always with Bruno now. Tomas has been avoiding me like the plague and I'm pretty sure Carla dropped out.

And then there's Aero....

Who is a freaking assassin. I never even thought about assassins being real. In my mind, they were always just characters in movies. But I've seen for myself now, that they are very real. Aero is definitely not my friend. I don't think you want to kiss and have sex with your friends. 

And that's my issue. I've spent my entire life trying to be a good person, trying to be kind to everybody, trying to be a positive person in the world. And the boy I like is the complete opposite. He's dark and kills people with no desire to be positive in this world.

I watched him murder somebody. Something he does often. And even though I should run and hide, I'm not. I'm running towards him, and his curly black hair, light blue eyes, and muscles.

I'm seeing him in a little bit, but I'm not sure how to act. Do I have to be, like, extra nice? Or else he'll kill me? I hope not because I love how I can be myself around Aero. And I'm really looking forward to the 20th, but I've been thinking about something that I want to ask him. Even after everything, I'm still wanting to be around him. 

But would the assassin himself ever want to be more than friends with a girl the complete opposite of him?

I want to talk to him about it later. Because it's undeniable that around him my heart warms, I feel happy, and I dread leaving. Headlights pulling into my driveway told me that he was here now. I smiled to myself as I exited my house. I've been avoiding my dad, so I haven't seen him since we had that argument. 

I got into Aero's car, "Hey-"

He grabbed my face and pressed his lips against mine, the minty taste making me smile as he did do. I kiss him. I kiss the man that kills. When he pulled away he looked into my eyes and said quietly, "I missed you."

He placed another quick kiss on my lips before starting to drive. We were going to his house for a little bit, but then he said we had dinner reservations somewhere. It was only about 5pm, so the sun was still out slightly. We pulled into his driveway and started walking towards his door, when something caught my eye.

Now that it was the daytime, I was able to see what was growing in the dirt. I smiled and asked him, "Lilacs?"

"Do you like it?" he asked me with a slight smile. It's hard to believe this is the same man that kills.

I ran over and gave him a big hug. His arms wrapped around me and he lifted me off of the ground slightly, making my legs dangle. When he put me back down I told him, "I love it!"

"Good," he said while we started walking to enter his house.

We went into his house and I went over to the couch that I'm in love with. I sat down and watched him take his black shoes off before making his way over to me, sitting down beside me. I asked him, "What time is the reservation?" 

"It's at 6."

I nodded my head while thinking. Do I talk to him about it now? During? After? 

"Hailey," he whispered my name, every hair on my body standing up.

I turned back to look at him. His face and voice were gentle. He moved himself to be closer to me and said, "You truly are amazing."

I smiled at his words as I placed my hand on the back of his neck and kissed him. I couldn't not kiss him. He kissed me back and I moved myself to be straddling his lap, my hands moving to his soft black hair. I could feel him grow hard against me, although we had our clothes stopping direct contact.
