Something forbidden

Chapter six: answers

"I don't know, we're a mess and I don't know what's best right now," I admit while stepping back but he pulls me right back to him.

"I swear," he says while holding up his pinkies. What a dork. Whatever. He looks sincere.

"Fine. You get one shot," I say while locking my pinkies with his. His face instantly lights up and he yanks me back into a tight hug. I'm gonna die at this rate. He's too touchy when he's sober then again he's touchy in general.

"Thank you, I won't let you down again," he confesses and pulls away slightly to say it directly to me. Our eyes lock on each other for what feels like a lifetime till he glances down slightly at my lips. Is there something on them? I instantly lick my lips in response and look away.

"Um, do you want some cookies or something?" I ask while walking towards the kitchen. He follows me like a lost puppy and pauses when I do.

"Hello?" I turn to look at him and he's just staring at me.

"You have a staring problem," I nervously chuckle and grab the supplies once again and make the dough. Aiden hovers over my shoulder, watching everything I do. Creeper. I begin to add in the chocolate chips when he wraps his arms around me and places his chin on the top of my head. What the hell? I immediately freeze up and he takes that chance to steal the bag of chocolate chips and run off with them.

"Hey! I'm not done with those! I still need to add them to the dough!" I shout while chasing after him. He runs to the living room and stands on the opposite side of the couch as me. You're kidding. He just sits there with a smirk on his face while he eats the chocolate chips.

"Catch me if you can 'Mikey'," he says in a teasing tone. I sigh and turn around and pretend to walk away till he puts his guard down. I then run back and tackle him. I place my hand behind his head before we crash to the ground. This jerk holds the bag above his head with one hand and wraps his other arm around my waist so I can't move.

"Why the hell are your arms so long!" I pout while still attempting to reach for the bag but I'm still a few inches away. He just chuckles beneath me. That's when I become aware of the situation. I'm straddling his hips, his arm is wrapped around me and our faces are practically inches away. My face instantly flushes but he just has a stupid smirk on his face and keeps the bag out of range. I still need that stupid bag.

I sigh and do the stupidest thing I can think of. I kiss his cheek. He freezes up just long enough for me to break free and grab the bag. I laugh and run off to the kitchen leaving Aiden dumbfounded on the floor.

"I won," I hum in victory while I add the chips to the dough and place the first batch in the oven. When I turn around, Aiden is standing there, his cheeks are slightly flushed and he looks annoyed. Oh no. Wrong move.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it, I just couldn't think of anything else to get the bag," I tense up and look at the floor. So much for getting better.

Aiden grips my hips and lifts me up, placing me on the counter. When I look up, his lips instantly lock with mine. They instantly find a rhythm and he wraps his arms around me, pulling me into him. I wrap my arms around his neck in response, closing any gap there is between us. When we finally break apart, we're both a panting mess, my cheeks feel like they are on fire. Aiden looks as composed as he can be but his ears are bright red.

"I think I won," he chuckles and places another quick kiss on my lips before setting me back on the ground and sitting at the kitchen table. I just stand there dumbfounded. Trying to put all the pieces together.

"What the hell was that?" I ask while looking at him. He just smirks and winks at me.

"What the hell is that?" he responds while pointing down to my waist, I follow the imaginary line. Shit. I got hard? How? When? Why? I quickly rush to the bathroom and wait for it to go down.

"Do you need help?!" he shouts from the kitchen.

"What?! No!" I feel on fire. My cheeks are a deep red. I sigh and splash my face with cold water. After a bit, little Mike decided to go back down. When I made my way back out, Aiden was checking the cookies and preparing the next batch to go in.

"Did you have fun?" he chuckles while glancing over at me and placing the tray on the cooling rack.

"Shut up, will you? You caught me off guard so it was a natural body response. Plus it was my first sort of," I instantly cover my mouth with my hand. Crap.

Aiden gives me a shocked expression.

"What do you mean sort of?" he asks while stepping towards me.

"W-well when I was at the party," I started while stepping back till I hit the wall.

"Go on," he demands with a slight look of annoyance.

"W-we we're picked to go into the closet and you kissed me," I confess and stare at the ground. Aiden sighs in relief and places his head on my shoulder.

"Thank God, I thought someone else forced themselves on you," he chuckles slightly and hugs me.

"Nope, just you," I relax slightly but then it clicks.

"What do you mean? You were worried that someone else was my first kiss? Also why'd you kiss me earlier? That wasn't a normal thing friends do," I ask and he freezes up.
