Rodeo Hearts

Chapter 33

I'm finishing up the final touches on the epilogue and it should be finished and published this weekend if not before. I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Blake's POV

I shifted uncomfortably from the position that I was in. I scrunched my nose at the pressure that was on the right side of my body. I peeled one eye open to see Aurora laying beside me with her head on my chest. I smiled inwardly at the sleeping beauty with her arms wrapped around me. I savored the moment, because I knew that as soon as she wakes up, she'll jump out of my arms.

A soft knock sounded through the cabin. I looked down at Aurora and then to the cabin door. I untangled Aurora from me and quietly walked to the door. Without even thinking about how all this looks, I pulled the door open. My eyes widened as I saw the person in front of me.

"Brayden." I nodded in recognition.

Brayden looked like he was trying for the main role in Cast Away. Dark circles plagued his under eye area. His eyes widen at the sight of me and he took a couple steps backwards.

"It's not what it looks like." I sighed as his jaw clenched.

"I didn't think she would move on this fast. Especially not with my own brother." Brayden ran his hand through his hair angrily.

I glanced back at Aurora who was still sound asleep. I quietly closed the cabin door, before she woke up from the commotion.

"Clearly you were able to get what I couldn't." Brayden said angrily.

"You know that she's not that type of girl. I brought her home last night after you ripped her heart out and stepped all over it. When it started to storm, she told me to wait until the storm stopped. I was going to call someone to come and pick me up, but I fell asleep before I was able to." I clenched and unclenched my fist.

"She's that type of girl if you're with her."Brayden spat.

Seriously? Out of all of that, he only listened to the first sentence.

Unable to hold myself back, I threw my fist in his direction. My fist collided with his nose with a crack. I'm guessing I broke it, but at this point I really didn't care.

Without another word, Brayden retreated back to his truck. It wasn't long before his truck sped down the driveway. I walked back up the steps and quietly opened the cabin door.

Aurora was still sound asleep, as it was early in the morning. I scratched the back of my neck, unsure as what to do. If I stayed, I might be starting something I won't be able to finish. I'm not a good guy and I'm definitely not the guy for Aurora. If I was a good guy, I'd turn around and walk out of the door. As I've said before, I'm not a good guy.

I walk over to where Aurora was soundly sleeping. Quietly I lay back down and almost instantly, Aurora rolls over and scoots as close as she could get. She rested her hand on my chest and her head on my shoulder. My eyes began to get heavier and heavier, until they closed to their own accord.

~~~~Aurora's POV~~~~~

My eyes slowly fluttered open. I felt so warm and safe. There's only one guy who could make me feel this way...Brayden. When I recognized the guy beside me, my eyes widen in shock.

Blake.

How could he make me feel this way?

I had only known him for a short while. I felt a little guilty for feeling this way about Brayden's brother, but it's hard not to fall for a guy like Blake. Deep down I hoped that Brayden would come back and everything would go back to normal. But the wound that Brayden gave me is still fresh.
