I looked up from my phone when a grumble left Aaron's body. Sitting in his garage for the past hour was anything but fun. But I wanted to be there when he woke, so I stuck my phone on silent, reclined his chair back so that his back wasn't bent and chilled out.
"Welcome back." I spoke softly rubbing his arm.
He sat up rubbing his face with another grumble before opening the glove compartment and pulling out a box of cigarettes.
I cleared my throat causing him to look over at me. "One word." I said as he debated the pack.
"What's that?" He questioned.
"Theo."
He inhaled deeply before releasing it, his hand gave surrendered the packet. "Good man. How are you feeling?"
"My head hurts, but other than that. I'm okay." He replied rubbing his eyes.
"Can I ask what happened back there?" I questioned looking out the windscreen window at the plastic boxes of toys.
"That guy."
"What about him?"
"He made a comment. I didn't like it." He replied looking away.
"What kind of comment?"
"How he wouldn't mind a piece of your ass, and if I was up for passing you around." He replied clenching his fists.
I screwed up my nose in disgust "How lovely. Disgusting drunk little man." I commented.
"Safe to say I didn't handle it as well as I could have." Aaron added.
"I think you did okay. Admittedly I was surprised to turn after a fabulous first strike to find that, but it doesn't matter. You didn't hit him, we weren't thrown out."
"I wanted to hit him, I would have if it wasn't for you." Aaron commented taking a look over at me.
I smiled gently "Defending my honour, Mr Goodwin?"
"I can't stand assholes like that," His hand picked up mine entwining our fingers together "That Mark has it coming to him.."
I pulled a quick smile looking away.
"Luna?"
"It's being sorted. I know you don't want to talk about him, but Alec is sorting it."
"That's why he rang you this morning." He confirmed to himself.
My brows furrowed gently "Y-yeah, hang on how come you haven't mentioned it until now? If you heard?"
I watched his reaction and soon realised that 'Getting out of town' was in fact another way of keeping him away.
"You do trust me. Don't you?"
"Yeah. Obviously, I wouldn't be telling you any of this otherwise." He replied sharply.
"But it's took you this long too tell me what has been going on." I replied.
"I don't trust easily okay? In my job you don't. I've had enough of women thinking I'm a push over because I'm nice. I don't have to be... I could be a complete asshole!" He shot making me twist to look at him properly.
"And be someone you're not?"
He didn't answer and simply looked away. I took his hand again making him look over to me "I don't wanna argue...."
"Sorry for ruining bowling." He grunted.
"Shit happens, drunk people happen. He's probably been on a massive bender from the state of him."
"So what now?" Aaron asked. "You wanna still hang out today, right?"
I nodded instantly "Of course."
My mind drifted off as he kissed the back of my hand before rubbing his cheek against it.
"I know." I smiled.
"What?" He asked seeing my face.

"Seriously, you down for it?" Aaron asked sorting the lounge out.
"Hell yeah, we got everything we need, from nuts, to crackers, to cheese, fruit, water, we can designate coffee breaks and...." I slapped my hand on his arm sticking a nicotine patch down.
"Really?"
"Really. I want you healthy and I want you around for a very long time Mr Goodwin."
He smiled before taking hold of my face and kissing me gently. Feeling all fuzzy inside I smiled when he pulled away bringing my shoulders up before dropping them.
"Get comfy then and let's relax." I added before jumping onto the couch.
"Hmm, how I'm suppose to when you're dressed like that.." He answered.
I grinned, as he loomed over me. I had changed into one of his tops and removed my jeans leaving me in a pair of lace panties. I was comfortable and ready for a film fest.
Lifting my foot up I stopped him, but almost squealed the house down when he took hold of my foot removing it from his chest. I was ticklish, and the less he knew. The better.
Aaron crashed down on me, pressing kissing onto my mouth whilst pulling my legs over his hips.
"A--Aaron."
"Hmm." He replied kissing my neck.
"I- uh.. Oh that's nice." I sighed losing my thought. I was enjoying myself way too much as he came back to my mouth.
Then the music kicked in and I squealed pushing him away.
"I- are you serious?" He asked.
I looked at the TV and back at him pushing my bottom lip out. "But..."
"Fine damn it." He sighed making me grin and cuddle into his side. Aaron pulled my leg across his body and ran his fingers up and down my leg soothingly as we began our movie marathon.
"This is gonna be awesome. Goals." I whispered.
He chuckled "Yeah, awesome. But I've just been cock blocked by Harry Potter."
