Stella's POV:

I toss and turn a bit before opening my eyes. As I stare at the ceiling I inch my hand out to Aaron and when I don't feel him I let out a sigh and sit up. The T.V was on, but the volume was off, I reach over to Aarons bedside table and I turn up the volume as I slide out of bed and undress. The news was on saying there was a shoot out at a very familiar club, then it finally hit that it was Aarons club. My heart sank to my stomach and I called him. The dialing tone went on for what felt like hours until it ended with his voice saying he can't come to the phone right now. "Okay....okay don't panic....The shooting happened around 1 AM, he was obviously asleep next to me so he's fine....he's probable just dealing with the after math." I shake my head and laugh at myself. I turn the T.V off and head in to the shower.

I don't know when Aaron filled his closet with a bunch of female cloths, but I thought it was cute. I walk into the closet and put on a pair of sweat pants and a tank top. I go back to the bathroom and brush my teeth, then I head down to the kitchen. There was a note on the counter that read "Good morning my love, I'm sorry for leaving you so early but something happened at the club that I need to handle. I don't know how long it'll take but i'll call you when I'm on my way home" I sighed as I put the note back down and headed towards the fridge. I take out a carton of orange juice and as I was about to pour it in a cup there was a buzz from the front gate. I go put on some slippers and I head down to the gate.

"Hello Ms, I'm Officer Donnelley. Is Mr.Anderson home?" I cross my arms over my chest as I watch him stare at my breasts making me uncomfortable. "Um no he isn't, sorry". The officer nods and hands me his card, "Give me a call when you see him, or if you want to see me" He gives me a wink and heads back int the patrol car. I turn and go back into the hose with a look of disgust plastered on my face. I pull out my phone and try to reach Daniel.

-"Hello lovely how may I help you on this fine morning"

"Hey Danny, have you seen Aaron?"

- "I .....have...."

"...stop being weird, I know there was a shoot out at the club. Its all over the news and an Officer came here looking for him, and quite honestly he was a perv who made a move on me and I would have appreciated it a lot more if my morning did not start off like this"

-"Woah....okay damn. He is handling everything and can't really talk right know, but I will send a bodyguard to the house to keep an eye on you. What was the name of the officer?"

"Donnelley"

-"Shit...okay, I'll call you when Aaron is out of the meeting, bye"

Before I could say bye the call ended, I rolled my eyes and threw my phone along with the cop's card on the kitchen counter and I resumed pouring my OJ. I turn the T.V in the living room on and I continue watching the news as I whip myself up some eggs and bacon. I made a plate for Aaron assuming he hasn't eaten all day. As I finish up my breakfast I wash my plate and there was a knock at the door. "How did someone get passed the gate?" I scuff as I walk to the door opening it. "Hello ma'am, I'm Chris" He stuck his hand out to give me a handshake. I slowly stick my hand out taking his. "Oh sorry um, Mr.Moore sent me to watch the house. I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm going to be in the black car right outside so if you need anything don't hesitate." I nod letting out a sigh of relief and a small chuckle. "Right right. I forgot Daniel was sending someone. Thank you" He offers a small smile and nod before he turns and heads to his car.

---------------------------

It's currently 7Pm. No calls from Daniel and no calls from Aaron. I slump myself on the couch and stare at the ceiling. "I could have went out today....why the fuck did I keep myself here?" I questioned out loud to myself. I stand up from the couch and head to the kitchen." I know he has alcohol somewhere in here." I continue looking around when I spot the mini bar in the living room. "AHAH" I lightly jog the mini bar and look through the bottles. "Hmmmm, he has burning taste" I finally spot a semi decent red moscato bottle that's not even opened. I shake my head, "Hard liquor doesn't compare babe, why would you leave a gem like this closed up?" I open the bottle and pour myself the velvet rich red liquid.

Three cups in and I start giggling to myself and the front door opens. "Stella?". "I'M IN THE LIVING ROOM" wow I didn't realize how loud I actually was. "Stella", "Heyyy babyyy". He frowns at me as I continue sipping the wine. "Stella, how much have you had?". I shrug at him. "Hard to say, but so much for the call you said you were gonna give me, There's eggs and bacon in the kitchen for you if you're hungry" I laugh to make to seem like I wasn't hurt that him nor Daniel called. He let out a sigh and rubbed his hand over his face. "I'm sorry, I was dealing with a lot." I nod at him downing the rest of the wine in the cup. I get off the couch and wobble to the sink placing the cup in. "I could only imagine". "Please don't be mad at me- Donnelley was here?" I turned to him, "one... I'm not mad I'm just....forget it. Two, yes he was and he creeped me out."

Anger flashed in Aarons eyes, something iv'e never seen before. He balled the card up in his fist and banged it on the counter causing me to jump back. I stared at him with wide eyes as he's lost in thought. He slowly looks up at me and his features soften. "I-I'm sorr-", I quickly rush to the bedroom before he could finish apologizing. My head is pounding and I'm starting not to see straight. "I may have over done it" I hiccup out. I am not looking forward to going to Boston hungover.

I head to the bathroom and I start washing my face. As I'm bent over two large hands attach to my waist making my body heat up. "Stella please don't be mad at me. I know I fucked up today, I should have called you and I'm sorry, but please don't be upset with me I can't handle that." I grab a towel and pat my face dry then I turn in his hands to face him. "I told you I'm not upset or mad, but just know if I ever tell you I'm going to call you....I'm going to fucking call you. Especially if I'm dealing with a dangerous situation" He drops his head nodding and I take his hands off of as I head to the closet. He slowly follows behind me as I undress.

I throw on a t-shirt and shorts and turn to Aaron who has his eyes locked on me. I roll my eyes at him and attempt to talk around him, but he stops me by placing his hand around my throat. I gasp and he smirks at me. "Don't rolls those pretty eyes at me my love, do you hear me?" I nod at him and he shakes his head in disapproval, "Words baby". "I-I hear you". He smiles and lets go. "Good, now lets go to bed we have to be at the airport early". I frown at him "How early?" He sighs. "I know you wanted to get to Boston at night so you didn't have to see anyone, but we don't have to tell anyone when we arrive." I nod at him still frowning. "Okay" I walk to the bed and slide in, Aaron follows right behind me and swings his arm around my side pulling me into him. I let out a shaky breath than drifted off to sleep.
