A Deal With My Ex

XLV

"Get to the point!" Sasha suddenly let out a rough tone, somewhat surprising the male who stood before her.

"Sasha...is everything okay with you?" He asked concern lacing his voice, genuinely wondering the reason behind her sudden shift in behaviour.

"Yes, everything is fine Aiden. Nothing for you to worry about. Please state whatever you require from me" Sasha spoke with a bone-chilling hostility immediately creating the abstract wall between the two.

Aiden stepped forward to get a hold of her hand, but she instantly backed away not willing to have any sort of skin contact with him. Aiden sighed a breath of defeat before backing away and speaking.

"At least let's sit somewhere. Or do you wanna stand in the middle of an aisle" Aiden was annoyed by now. His nerve was hit by her behaviour. Oddly enough the distance she created had bothered him and he could not comprehend why.

Taking in a small gulp, Sasha nodded her head before gesturing her hand for Aiden to walk forward.

"After you" Aiden spoke out stepping aside, his hand pointed to the direction. He might be the arrogant popular jerk, but he comes from an aristocratic family, and following basic etiquette was something that was given a lot of concentration. Sasha walked ahead without thinking twice and went to her favourite spot outside the store.

There are tables situated outside since it was situated by a food court area near the train station. Sasha liked sitting near the roads, which gave a view of the gorgeous Jacaranda trees. Something about their purplish autumn essence is calming to her. She sat down wordlessly fixing her glance on the temporarily desolate roads trying to distance her consciousness from the intoxicating male who sat before her. She was aware that he was the only one capable of making her do things she'd never done, and yet here she was again repeating the same mistake.

The figures absorbed each other's presence while they prepared themselves mentally for the conversation which awaited them. This would determine the flow of their morning tomorrow, and Sasha desperately hoped it to be something normal. She was aware it was pointless to expect something good, but she could only anticipate the outcome to be at least bearable.

"So what's up?" Aiden cracked the silence.

Sasha internally scoffed at his phatic attempt but her demeanor did not change once. She simply nodded to his question indicating that he should go forward with his conversation. Aiden was not buying it, however. He sighed a breath of distress before leaning his arms onto the tabletop. Since he was wearing a slim-fit turtleneck, his muscles flexed. Sasha gulped at the sight and mentally scolded herself for getting distracted.

"Look Sasha, I know things between us are complicated. They are horrible, might I add to it..." Aiden began

"But I need you to listen to this. Yeah, I am not sure what I am doing right now, but it's not that I don't like you yeah? To be straightforward, I am confused as to what I feel right now.....But I do like you" Aiden let out, attempting to be transparent with his feelings.

What surprised him was Sasha's straight expression, which was deprived of any reaction to the words he said. She was once an expressive girl, an open book to read. It sent chills down his spine to see the massive change in her behavior where everything about her was incomprehensible.

"At least say something Sasha" He was the one speaking once again desperate for a reaction.

Sasha simply raised her eyebrows and replied with a shrug of nonchalance. It was time for Aiden to feel the anxiousness intoxicating his veins.

"I didn't ask for an unnecessary explanation did I?" Sasha asked with a straight expression.

"So let us get to the point. What's the plan for tomorrow?" Sasha leaned forward to the table looking him straight in the eye.

Aiden was agitated by now, trying to comprehend the situation and how to deal with it. Furrowed eyebrows, lips parted, he looked at her puzzled. She was testing his patience and it hit his nerve. He did not appreciate how she had ignored his feelings for her.

"I assume there is no plan contemporarily, so let's call it a night" Sasha spoke getting up

In an arbitrary motion, she felt herself being pulled back with her wrist in a hard grip. Before she could react, she collided with a hard chest, and those dazzling brown oceans stared at her with a pointed look. Sasha gulped under his touch. His expression did not emit any good news and she was aware that trouble awaited.

"Sasha Kavinsky" His voice laced with a sense of darkness lacing his voice

"You can't just walk away ignoring the confession of my feelings for you" He let out as Sasha began to squirm in his grip

"Feelings?" Sasha sarcastically chuckled looking away.

"Bullshit" She spat on his face.

"Excuse me?" Aiden retorted getting a good grip on her waist and twisting her hand slightly behind her back to make sure she can't escape.

"You are saying all this simply out of pity. They mean absolutely nothing! So stop playing around with me! You are just—" Sasha began shouting out her thoughts from turmoil but before she could complete her words, she felt her lips being attacked by another.

All traces of consciousness had seemed to escape Sasha's mind for a few seconds as she attempted to comprehend exactly what was going on. As soon as she did, she began to squirm with great vigor to free herself from his grip as soon as possible. She may be adamant to escape but the man before her was stronger. Perks of being an athlete. With one hand gripping her hands, the other went to her jaw, fixating it in a position to ensure he can ravish her lips properly. He was going rough and he knew the tricks to play to distract her from her stubbornness and into him.

Soon enough, he felt Sasha lessening her efforts to escape and give in to him. He smiled into the kiss, as she slowly responded to him. He was addicted to the taste of her pink lips and wanted to seize every opportunity to claim them. If he were honest, he wasn't even bothered about anything else now. All he wanted was to claim the girl in his arms and have her all to himself.

As the two souls moved their lips in sync, the moonlight seemed to lurk in the scene making it seem like a scene straight out of the movie for a spectator. They were both out of breath from consuming the essence of each other compelling them to part to their dismay. With heavy breaths one another fanning their lips, they stood in silence.

"You know what?" Aiden suddenly let out in a low voice making Sasha open her eyes.

"Fuck Nicole. Fuck that deal. Fuck everything else"

"You are mine and I will not let anything come in between this time"
