Summer Romance

Chapter 7

We soon arrived back at the hotel and Nat woke us up. "Scar!", she shouted. I startled and opened my eyes. "What?!", I called out.

"Time to wake up.", she said and smiled innocently. I looked up at Aaron. "I guess we fell asleep.", he said smiling.

I blushed a bit. "Yeah...", I just replied.

We got out of the bus and entered the hotel lobby. "Hey, Scar?", Aaron asked me.

"Hm?"

"Do you want to... umm... maybe want to have a drink with me?", he asked, I wasn't sure but he seemed a little shy and uncomfortable. "Oh, umm..." I looked at Nat, who was grinning at me and nodded fiercely. I smiled and shook my head slightly.

"So... No?", Aaron asked.

"What? No! No, I mean, yes." He looked at me in confusion. I sighed at my own stupidity. "Yes, I'd love to have a drink with you.", I said.

Aaron replied with a wide smile. "Great. Come on, let's go." He took my hand and led me to the hotel bar. We sat down at a table and Aaron ordered the drinks for us. "Cheers.", Aaron said smiling and raised his glass. "Cheers.", I agreed. I took a sip.

Wow... That was a strong drink...

"Do you like it?", Aaron asked.

"Oh, umm... Yeah... It's good...", I lied. He chuckled quietly. "What?", I asked

"You're a terrible liar.", he said and smiled at me. I blushed. "That obvious, hm?"

He nodded smiling. "Do you want a different one?"

"Oh, no. It's fine." I smiled slightly and took another sip.

We sat there for some time, talking a lot. I was a little confused because he never mentioned his job or who he was. Did he think I'd behave differently if I'd known?

"It's pretty late... maybe we should go upstairs?", he asked after he took a quick look at his watch. I nodded smiling and got up. It was a little too fast because I stumbled and lost my balance. Aaron reacted quickly and caught me before I could fall. He had his arms laying around my upper body and I held myself up by holding his arms with my hands. "Are you okay?", he asked quietly and looked down at me. It was just like yesterday. He was so close to me...

"Yeah... I'm fine...", I mumbled. He smiled at me. "Looks like I should just stay with you so I can catch you, whenever you fall.", he said smiling.

"Yeah... I guess you have to...", I said and smiled slightly.

He chuckled quietly. "Come on, let's go." He lifted me up, his arms were still around me. I laid my hands on his chest and could feel his heart racing underneath them. His breath quickened, as I looked up at him, his crystal blue eyes were shimmering. His warm breath was like summer wind tickling my face. He leaned closer to my face, his heart started racing even faster, just like mine. He closed his eyes and before I could even realize what was happening, his lips were laying on mine...
