Moment for Life (Not Edited)

Chapter 12

London

We were finally on our way home and I think Aiden was mad because of Mason trying to flirt while we were leaving the hospital. He must not be, he always gets mad for the dumbest crap, I didn't even flirt back... I think there's only one way to find out whats going on

I place my hand over his hand, which was rested in the middle of both seats, then I lean up to see his face and proceed with my question thats been bugging me for quite some time now "Are you mad at me Aiden?"

He sighed and lowly chuckled before answering "No not at all, why?"

I let out a sigh of relief, mostly because that answer was not said sarcastically, then I said "Because you seem mad at me since we left the hospital"

He moved his hand on top of mine, to put us in a position where we hold hands, he held my hand then gave it a squeeze, but never let go "I've just got alot of things on my mind, Boo" he said giving my hand anotger reassuring squeeze. Between the two squeezes and him calling me boo, as he always does gave me a feeling I've never actually felt before, like tingles in the pit of my stomach, I could barely breath.

We held eachothers hands until we finally got to the house, and in order to get out we had to let go, when he let go of me, my hand felt like I was missing a highly needed wamth. Once outside, I noticed how friggen cold it was.

"What's the temperature?" I asked crossing my arms and rubbing my hands against my arms to keep cold

"Uh.... 44 I think why?"

"It's flipping freezing"

Then, he said something I never thought he would've said in a million years "I'll keep you warm, come here"

While striding toward him, I flushed red and couldn't even walk. So much, that I ended up almost eating the floor, luckily he had to make this moment more prince charming like by catching me in his arms, our faces only centimeters apart, and our breathing is now hitched. Since my head was already tilted to the left because of my almost fall, he tilted his slightly left, closed his eyes and leaned in. But, before we could even touch eachothers lips a voice startled us

"Hey, can I talk to you guys for a second" A sad voice said from behind us, after hearing a now, pissed Aiden whisper "fucking shit" we got up, and tyrned to see Carter standing a couple feet away, Aiden tried to go beat the living hell out of him, until I grabbed snd pulled him back telling him that it wasn't worth it, thankfully he listened and didn't force my grip off of his agitated body to attack Carter.

"What?" I spit out at him in a furious tone, he's pissed me off enough and now he completely ruined a moment that I probably wanted to happen, I was about to kiss Aiden. Did I want that? I push that thought away and think of something else. Even if I didn't he still interrupted

"Look London, I am so sorry of what I did to you. Sometimes I get like my father, abusive when I'm drunk. I don't want to it just happens and that day I was quite buzzed and I knew it was only right if I get beat up, and I actually thank you Aiden for beating me to my senses because after that I realized how screwed up it was, I'm an ass, and I came here to apologize in person" he says looking down with guilt, but I'm not buying it. I'm not getting into an abusive relationship of any type.

Carter may be so cute, but I want nothing that reminds me of my father, and honestly it hurts to say that he does because I haven't even thought about my terrible father, who is thankfully now in jail, and I can't have a mini version of him around which made me say what I'm going to say next, what's for my good "Get the hell away from me, no I do not accept your apology, get the hell out of my face any completely stay out of my life I never want to see you in my life, again!" I nearly scream through my gritted teeth as I try to stay gritty and not cry

  Carter mumbles a sorry and walks away with his head down, I turned my head to the opposite way trying to hold my tears in, Aiden grabs my hand in sympathy and leads me in the house. It may have been out of sympathy but it didn't really feel like it. I walked up the stairs moping, and walked into Aiden's room slipped my shoes off and snuggled onto his sheets, without a word.

A couplr minutes later Aiden walks in with a glass of water sets it on the side table, takes his shoes off and follows me, snuggling on the blanket. I quietly ask him "can I snuggle on you?" he nods and says "Of course you can princess, anytime" my cheeks flushed red and I snuggled up on him, he played with my hair and kissed my head sometimes, his swift moves made me drowsy and my eyelids felt heavy but not before I heard something that I know will eventually end up changing things between us. While he thought I was sleeping he mumbled "You are truly perfect princess, you make me fall hard, and I think soon enough I'm gonna be in love with you" in my ear. Those words helped me take a peaceful slumber, I haven't had one of those in some time....... some long time.

Aiden

I saw how London was asleep and I thought getting what I wanted to get off my chest for some time now was good, considering she couldn't respond and I'd actually be telling her.

I mumble "You are truly perfect princess, you make me fall hard, and I think soon enough I'm gonna be in love with you" into her ear, then kiss her head and play with her lucious locks.

I still can't believe Carter inturrupted me trying to kiss her, I so would have done it I mean she wanted to kiss me too right?

I thought back to what happened in the hospital, Mason walked into the room while I was completely tired, grabbed my shirt and said "She's mine, not your's, no matter how much you think she's yours, she's mine unil otherwise. I will capture her and she'll be mine forever without your jackass interruptions" he spoke through gritted teeth. He's lucky I'm tired, because I would've punched him straight in the throat where his Adam's apple is, and whispered the words 'Die Jackass' but, unfortunately that didnt happen. I thiught about that until

I feel her tossing and turning in an uncomfortable way, I try to sooth her by rubbing my hand up and down her back, but I hear her mumber something nearly inaudible, but according to my bionic ears, she mumbled "I like you Aiden"

I nearly did a backflip, I wanted to jump over hurdles and join the Olympics. I for one, felt completely unstoppable. My heart beat sped up so fast I swore I had a heart attack, I think London felt it too because her eyes flew open and she looked up at me with wide eyes  "Is your heart okay?" she said with wide eyes

"Y-yea of course why wouldn't it be?"

"Um because its beating a million a minute?" she said looking at me with a face like im stupid.

I'm gonna face my fears and do it, "Come bere London" I motion my finger for her to come here

She steps close and I motion for her to get closer, I lean into her ear and whisper "London, my heart was beating uncontrollably because of you, since you came into my life youve been my life. My reason of living and princess, I'm falling for you, hard. I will do anything I can for you, I'll protect you with my life, but I just ask for you to be mine. I know I'm not good enough for you, but I'm gonna spend my entire life proving that I am" Then sofly tilt her chin with my index and middle finger then Press my lips dofly against mine as we move perfectly in sync. We pull away after a couple minutes to catch a breather and London breaths out a "yes" then leans in for another kiss, damn she can really hold her breath for long, now London's my girl.
