Fighting Fire and Fire

Chapter 12 - There is no Easy Way of Getting Over Aaron Hotchner

18+ Smut, Fingering, BJs. Second to Last part guys, then it's over 

Here is a short step by step on getting over your husband, better known as Aaron Hotchner.

Move out.

You picked a nice, spacious penthouse. Had a nice view of New York. You could see central park from your living room window. It was nicely furnished but not by your hand by what it came with when you brought it. Small plants on the coffee table, tall ones by the window adding to the greenery from Central Park.

It was cosy, warm, blankets everywhere; over the couch, on a random dining table chair, all over your bed. Candles everywhere, scented, unscented. Just trying to regain a sense of your home. No one else's yours.

Moving around places to places you've never settled apart from living with Aaron.

Aaron...

(Side note step 2 is about not thinking about him, or overly thinking about, but more about that later)

But anyway, moving from place to place to make sure that you were safe, and all that fun stuff, but now you don't have to worry, well you do, there's a camera on your door and also a secret one in the elevator, but it's okay.

The kitchen was your favourite room of the house. Not that you could really properly cook but you were gonna learn*. The shelves were stocked and ready to go.

*See step 3.

The black marble countertops that reminded you of your home back with Aaron (step 2, stop) the assorted utensils along them. The overly organised kitchen that hardly got used.

It was a dream. Maybe not your dream but someone else's.

Stop thinking about him.

Aaron Hotchner, the man of the hour, or all day for that matter. Aaron Hotchner your husband, the love of your life. The 6ft 2in man that constantly was there-

This step is about stop thinking about him-

But his chocolate eyes that stared at you when you were stressed, happy, sad. The caring in his eyes, the sparkle that comforts you in times of desperate measures. The eyes you saw that saved you from Riley. The eyes were the best part about Aaron Hotchner. They shared emotions that even Aaron didn't know he could express.

You would think that it's an easy task, to not think about him, but it isn't. You would see a happy couple walking down the street and think of the times Aaron held your hand tight and walked along with you, every now and again he would pull it up and kiss your hand, especially when you got distracted by a store window. Or a flower stall at the corner of a busy street, where business men who perhaps forgot an anniversary quickly brought flowers and ran off to catch the subway. Or some young couple proposing in central park, cliche right? But it reminded you of the time you and Aaron got engaged, it wasn't in central park it was in a restaurant, quietly, just how you liked it. Because Aaron and you were still a secret to the rest of the restaurant. Also this restaurant was expensive. Aaron Hotchner doesn't skimp on the people he loves.

How to stop thinking about him, here's step 3

Get new hobbies

As mentioned in step 1, you had a nice kitchen to actually cook some meals. So you did, bought the supplies from the market and got to work. It lasted for about a day that hobby did, after you almost burnt down your apartment block.

Next you tried your hand at art, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. It was just a mess in a sketchbook.

You decided that hobbies aren't your thing quickly.
