Already home. (Aaron Tveit fanfiction)

34.-

Twenty minutes after apologizing with Karen and Penny, promising them to explain everything and keeping in touch, Amy was standing in the front door of her old house with Aaron right behind her.

On the way back to Middletown they talked about what happened with Marshall before Aaron found her and he repeated over and over again that 'If she had told before he would had gone to teach that fucking idiot how to treat a girl', especially if it was his girl. Amy just laugh all the way and it wasn't the champagne, it was Aaron.

When they finally arrived to the Carter's house, they get out of the car, and if that was a silly romantic movie it would be the part when she asked him if he wanted to go in to grab a coffee. And that was exactly what Amy would do, but because she didn't wanted to let him go, not yet. "You wanna grab a coffee or something before you go??" Amy asked as she opened the door with her keys. Aaron looked at her like if she was totally crazy, and then Amy remembered that She never told him she was alone in the house. "Oh no. No family in the house. They are in Manhattan. Ian convinced them to go. And I'm talking about real coffee, you idiot" she exclaimed, hitting him in the chest when she saw the stupid smile that Aaron had in his face. "You are calling me idiot again. I can't say no to that" Aaron smiled, taking her hand against his chest and kissing it. Amy only shook her head and got inside the house, turning on just a small lamp that was closer to see the way to the kitchen.

Aaron closed the door and followed her and Amy turned on the kitchen light, before checking the refrigerator. "Man, ten years and this place looks the same" Aaron breathed, looking at the place around him. "Tell me about it" Amy responded.

The place was as it was when she left. Her parents changed a couple things like electronics and appliances, but not much more. They weren't a big fan of renovations. "Coffee or beer?" she asked again, looking at Aaron. After all the tears and drama she wasn't in mood for coffee, so beer seemed like a better idea. "You want to steal your father's beer and get me drunk? Bad girl" Aaron joked, trying to play the innocent boy, even when it was going well with him. Amy just murmured 'beer' knowing the answer and take two bottles from the fridge.

Aaron took of his jacket and Amy her shoes, both of them placing them on the side of kitchen isle, before taking seat in the high chairs one in front of the other. It was like the night of the failed wedding, but more calmed and quiet. And this time she didn't have to be thinking about controlling herself around Aaron. Even when they hadn't kissed yet, she knew that it was going to happen sooner or later that night and it would taste like beer. "This reminds me of our prom night" Aaron said, before taking a sip. "Really? Why? We didn't drink that night" Amy joked smiling and drinking her beer. "I don't know why. I guess it might be the black dress. It was a great night" he added and Amy could feel her cheeks becoming red and warm from the shame. "I can't believe you still remember that!" she exclaimed putting her forehead against the isle. With the alcohol in her body it wasn't a good moment to talk about that night.

In fact that was an amazing night that didn't end with the prom. That was the night of their first time and they were so young, but Amy still remembered it. She remembered specially how complicated it could be to have sex in a car. "Of course I remember it! You were the most beautiful girl in the prom. You were perfect" Aaron told her, taking one of her hands lacing his fingers with hers on the table. Just that little thing make the girl felt like she was home. It make her felt safe and happy and it was all she could asked for. "Well, I remember you didn't look that bad. Suits always looked good on you" she smiled, winking at him. "Did you ever told anyone about that night?" Amy asked again. "Not here. I would never done it. Years later I did, but don't worry, nobody knows it was you. What about you?" he asked back, looking at her. "No, I never told anyone. it was the most amazing night of my life, I rather to keep it for me" she murmured, looking at the garden through the windows.
