Loving Aiden | ✓

Chapter 10- Sweet Dreams

"I think I should go." I take my bag off the floor and start to pack up my books. I feel his presence behind me but I can't turn around. I can't look at him. I just can't.

That was a mistake. It was a mistake. I shouldn't have done it. I know that I'm going to regret this in the end. Why am I so stupid?

Why why why?

He holds on to my hand and leans down so that his lips are brushing against my ear. I tense and involuntarily shiver.

What has he done to me?

"What happened to you?"

I close my eyes and I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I should be over this. It's stupid. But it just hurts so much. Why won't the pain go away?

Why won't he go away?

"Andy. Andy happened to me."

I shrugged him off and tried making my way to the door.

Key word; tried.

He held on to my hand and spun me around.

I saw anger in his eyes. His beautiful, beautiful eyes. "Did he hurt you?"

I blinked at him. Once. Twice. Then the tears just started falling. "He broke my heart." I was full on sobbing and tearing up now. The memories started coming back. I loved him. I loved him. I loved him. And he hurt me so badly. He burnt me so badly. Wasn't I enough? And now, I might've ruined this - whatever it is - that I had with Aiden.

Why does everything hurt so fucking much?

I feel arms wrap around my waist. Aiden pulls me in and rests my head on his chest. I feel him kiss my hair and then turn my head up to look at him. And in the most reassuring, serious and convincing tone, he said, "I'll never hurt you. I'll never break your heart. I just want you. And I'll be damned if I ever dare let anyone else hurt you. Let alone have you. I'm here for you. And I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon. Whether you want me as a boyfriend or just a friend, I'm not going anywhere."

And to me, that's all I needed to hear. I felt it. I felt the sincerity to the depths of my heart. He meant this. And it's been months. I can learn to be okay. I can be his. I can do this.

"I know..", I lean up and give him a kiss on the cheek, "I know."

************************
Aiden wanted to know about me and Andy, he didn't ask but I know he wanted to. I told him all about it while withholding tears and he held my hand to show me that he was here.
I noticed it was getting late so I took his number and gave him a kiss on the cheek while he gave me one on the forehead and followed me to my car.
I wondered where his parents were. I know that he can't be the only one living in this mansion. I didn't bother to ask though; next time I guess.

I drove home and I couldn't take that stupid smile off my face.

What just happened?

I opened up to Aiden. I let him in. I cried in front of him. I fucking kissed him. I kissed Aiden.

Oh. My. God.

What does this mean?

It's not like I don't want something to happen, I'm just not fully ready. I wanna take things slow. Not too slow though cause this boy is irresistible.

But seriously. I know I want this. I just have to be cautious. All I know is that I trust Aiden and I really like him, so we'll go on from there.

Mom isn't home yet so I head upstairs and take a shower. I put on some PJ's and heat up some Chinese food. I watch some Netflix and eat. While doing so I hear my phone ring and I look at the caller ID to see that it's Aiden. I immediately answer it.

"Hello.."

I hear some shuffling, then he answers, "Hey Bionca, are you okay?"

a smile etched itself on my face as soon as i heard his voice. "I'm fine, are you?"

"I'm okay, just wanted to know if you were. You didn't call after you left so I was just worried."

I sighed dreamily. He's such a sweetheart. "I'm okay Aiden, I just forgot."

"That's good to hear. Off to bed?" I could hear the smile in his voice.

I look at the time to see that its after ten. "Yeah, soon."

"Okay I'll see you at school tomorrow."

"See ya. Goodnight Aiden." I said almost reluctantly.

"Goodnight, Bionca."

I hung up and just stared at the phone. I think that phone call was enough for me to have sweet dreams.
