 “Come here,” Aaron cooed playfully.

“No!” I laughed from across the room holding his favorite snack hostage.

“Don’t you make me come over there Anna,” Aaron smirked his devilish smile.

“Aaron, it’s only you’re favorite snack, you can have it later,” I said spinning on my heal and turning out of the room taking a bite and looking back playfully.

“Anna, you really should know better,” Aaron said getting up and walking slowly toward me.

            We were in his apartment. It was big for one person to live in. First entering the apartment you were greeted by a small and quaint kitchen that lead into the TV room. Entering the TV room on the right it lead to a hall that lead to the bedrooms and bathroom. Same as the apartment below him. I know because before I knew Aaron I knew the guy that lived below him. Aaron doesn’t know that. He doesn’t know a lot about me and I want to keep it that way. At least until I can trust again, and believe that there are decent guys left in this world.

            This week would mark one month of Aaron and us “being together.” Now, I put that in quotes because I really don’t know if I want to be with anyone seriously that is. Aaron seems content knowing that I am not going to be open and warm. He says that he sees us as together and doesn’t mind that he likes me more than I like him. I tell myself that Aaron could leave me anytime he wants to make myself feel better. I don’t want to hurt anyone, and I was not expecting for anyone to actually like me, so when Aaron proposed his feelings to me, I told him the truth; I didn’t want anything serious and I just wanted to have fun.

“Got you!” Aaron said grabbing me from behind, making me drop the bag of chips as he spun me around kissing my neck.

“Stop, put me down,” I laughed, and he did as I said.

            I liked that; he always did as I said. He knew I had control issues. Truly he could be very passive or he could take control. He always knew the appropriate time too.

“So, how about that movie?” Aaron said grabbing the bag of chips that barely made a mess shockingly.

“What movie?” I asked.

“I don’t know I am on the movie channel, whatever is on next,” Aaron said.

“Maybe,” I said rolling my eyes, walking past him and sitting on the couch, turning the sound on.

“Next on the Movie Channel, Jack Frost,” the movie announcer said and I froze.

“What’s wrong Anna? It’s a animation movie for kids,” Aaron said sitting down next to me, throwing his arm over my shoulder pulling me close.

            Instantly I shrugged away and stood up and moved to the chair where I could be alone. Aaron knew I get like this at times and learned not to pry the first time. When we first started “dating” I did what I did just now, and he started asking questions to which I started yelling and totally shut him out. He knows not to pry into my life.

“Anna, I’m sorry. Do you think you can tell me why the movie upset you?” Aaron asked cautiously.

            I just sat in the chair, arms folded, feeling cold, staring at Aaron trying to control my temper.

“It’s the past. No need to know,” I said gritting my teeth.

“Okay,” Aaron said then changed the channel.

            I stood up and left the room, going to the room Aaron let me keep my things in to get dressed. When I came back to the TV room Aaron looked at me knowingly and nodded, tossing me the keys to his car.
