on deck; a. judge

12.

I wake up the next morning, still in Aaron's bed. My mind replays last night, how we ditched the party, came back here and how we fell asleep cuddling one another.

I knew it ruined everything I had with Garrett. Telling him was going to be the hardest part. Aaron finally got his moment, he finally got me vulnerable enough to the point where he could get in my pants. He either was going to act like it never happened? Or never let me live it down. But to say I regretted it? That's a lie.

I get out of bed and make my way to the door when I'm stopped by Aaron who has two bowls of cereal in his hands. All he can do is smirk at my appearance, seeing as though I'm wearing one of his shirts.

"You're awake." He says with a smile.

"That I am." I reply, running a hand through my hair.

"I figured you would want something to eat. I don't know, I was hungry, figured you would be too.." Aaron says as I take the cereal from him and nod.

"Thank you." I say as I go back to sit in his bed and look at him as he just sits across from me. It was pretty silent the entire time we ate. I wasn't really sure what to talk about. I couldn't just bring up the fact that he had a fucking wonderful mouth, that would just boost his inflated ego more than it already was.

He sets the bowls on his nightstand and he pulls me to him, I can't help but get comfy against him.

"Don't you work today?" Aaron asks.

"I don't have to go in until later. Don't you have a game today?"

He nods. "I do, but I don't have to go in until later."

I just nod my head and the room is filled with silence again. I catch him glancing me up and down and I just hit his shoulder.

"Quit it."

"What?" He laughs.

"Looking at me like that!" I tell him, hitting his shoulder again.

He rolls his eyes. "You're wearing one of my shirts, you're in my bed, and I went down on you last night. I think I'm allowed to check a beautiful girl out.." He comments and I feel my cheeks heat up.

"Why did you..?" I ask him, not really wanting to discuss it, but it needed to be.

"I think once I finally had my moment with you, I just got caught in the heat of the moment. You and I had kissed before, and no doubt that was fucking amazing. I know I make stupid little comments here and there about wanting to get you in bed, but just the way you looked last night and the way I saw you kissing and dancing on Nathan. I knew I had to get my way with you. I mean, you didn't really stop me.."

"But.." I pause. "We didn't have sex.."

Aaron looked at me puzzled. "We could right now if that's what you're implying."

"No, Aaron, that's not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean?"

"I mean, why did you just go down on me, and not 'have your way' with me and have sex with me? That is what you want, is it not?" I ask him, raising an eyebrow.

Aaron sighed. "It would be ideal. But, I knew you had a little alcohol in your system, I wasn't going to be that guy who takes advantage of a girl. It's your body, you have to agree to it."

"I just don't know how I'm going to tell Garrett.." I say quietly, sitting up.

"You two aren't dating, I don't see the problem."

I just look at him. "We practically are a couple though, Aaron. If he finds out I came home with you just to have you eat me out? He would be livid. I would be the same if he did that with another girl."
