Saving All My Love || Book 1 (Editing)

Thirteen

Omniscient

Being rudely woken up by a deep, nasally snore, Payton slightly opened her eyes and yawned. Feeling something warm on her lower half, she lifts up the cover seeing Aaron's hand in her shorts, clutching onto her inner thigh.

"Aaron, what the hell?" She groaned as she removed his hand. She sat up and looked down at him. He was sound asleep with his face snuggled in between the pillows. Shaking her head, she checked the time on her phone. Sighing to herself as eight o'clock appeared on the screen, she sluggishly got up and left the room to go get a towel. Opening the linen closet, Kelly had came out the guest room and approached her.

"So did you and Aaron sleep good last night?" She teased. "Cuz I know Darius and I did."

"Shut up," Payton shook her head as she grabbed a face towel. "You know better than to be doing that in my parents house."

"Oh, I know, but you don't since me and Darius heard y'all makin' noises last night-"

"We were not!" Payton dropped her mouth. "Y'all got that story completely wrong."

"Mhmm," Kelly hummed before walking towards the stairs. "Whatever."

Payton rolled her eyes and closed the linen closet. She couldn't careless if Kelly didn't believe her. Payton knew for a fact that she and Aaron didn't do anything last night. So as long as she knew that, there was nothing for her to worry about.

Going back inside the room, Aaron was now laying on his back with his arm over his face. Payton took her clothes out her bag and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

In the middle of washing the soap off her body, she tensed up as she heard the door open and close. "Aaron?" She called. He didn't answer as he squeezed toothpaste on his toothbrush. Payton poked her head out and glared at him. "Get out. This bathroom is already in use."

"Does it look like I care?" He side-eyed her and continued brushing his teeth.

Letting out an irritated sigh, she continued to wash the rest of the soap off her body. After turning the shower off, she poked her head back out to get her towel. Noticing it wasn't laying on top of the toilet seat anymore, she looked up at Aaron who was about to walk out with her towel. "Aaron! Give it back!"

"Come get it."

Darting her eyes around the bathroom, she steps out the shower and snatches the dirty towel off the rack by the sink. The towel was a little bit smaller than the one Aaron took, but it'll just have to do at the moment.

Securing the towel around her, the best she could, she jerked the door open and approached him. "I'm not playing with you. Give it here!" She reached up to grab it, but he moved it behind his back. "Aaron, I am dead serious." She crossed her arms and scowled.

He licked his lips and tilted his head to look behind her. "You look real sexy wit' this little ass towel on," he chuckled, "I should do this shit more often." he mumbled as he slapped her half exposed butt cheek.

Retaliating immediately, she didn't hesitate to slap him in the face.

Quickly regretting her action, she swiftly snatches the towel out his hand and runs back into to the bathroom. Aaron jiggled the handle, just two seconds after she locked it.

She stepped back from the door as Aaron chuckled.

"Yo' ass betta' thank God I ain't kill you right then an there."
