SECRETS

Chapter 10

What are you doing here?" I desperately pull at the towel that left little to the imagination.

"I was just checking up on you..." Aaron's cheeks have turned a light pink, making me smirk.

"Can I have some privacy?" I ask, irritated by his presence at the moment.

"Oh, of course, yea, sure." He stutters, making me fight to keep a smile off my face.

He shuffles around me, bumping into me in the process and almost making lose my balance.

His arm reaches out and grabs me by the waist to steady me. I lean into him, causing a gasp to escape from my lips.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-" He stops mid-sentence, his eyes catching mine.

I slowly glance at his lips before returning my gaze to his eyes but before I can even process what's happening, his lips are on mine and he's pressing me into the nearby wall.

My arms reach up and I tangle my hands in his soft black hair.

It used to be a lot longer...

The strange thought passed through my head but I brush it aside when I feel Aaron tugging on a strand of my wet hair. I gasp in surprise and he takes the chance to push his tongue through my open mouth.

I let out a soft moan when his body presses against mine, our mouths still hungrily searching each other.

"Nora, I can't believe you're back, I missed you so-"

Me and Aaron both pull away, startled by the foreign voice.

The guy who had just entered my room stops in his tracks, his mouth open in shock.

"Nora..." His clear voice says but his face doesn't ring a bell.

"Who are you?" I snap defensibly.

He steps back as if I just slapped him.

"You...You don't remember me?" His voice is filled with shock and confusion, mirroring his expression.

"Take it easy, man." Aaron steps in,thankfully. "She doesn't remember anyone."

The guy in front of me laughs bitterly, catching me by surprise.

"Well obviously or she wouldn't be sliding her tongue down your fucking throat."

I gape at the guy, my cheeks now turning bright red.

"Get the fuck out!" I yell, causing him to glance at me in disbelief

"I think you better listen to her", Aaron says in a murderous tone, stepping in the strangers face.

He glances at me, his eyes flashing with hurt.

"You really don't remember anything? Us?" He asks, his voice wavering at the end.

Something about how he said the word us made bells ring loudly in my head but I couldn't think straight at the moment.

Instead, I let my eyes trail over the boy in front of me.

He was tall but not as tall as Aaron with very light brown hair and kind green eyes.

His body was built perfectly and he had an impressive jawline.

He could make any girl swoon.

And just like that, his face was in front of me, smiling kindly.

He had an amazing smile, I thought

"You should know my now that I'll always be there for you", he said, his hands slowly caressing my cheeks.
