Chapter 5
Carter's POV
I walked back to my room and brushed my fingers over my lips, Ayden and I had kissed for.. I don't know how long..
I approached my bed and changes into some shorts and found Ben's long sleeve shirt on my bed.
It was clean, so I quickly pulled it over my head and slid my arms through the sleeves.
It covered most of my shorts, one part on the shoulder fell over my shoulder and showed a little cleavage, which made me very uncomfortable.
"Carter! Come down to the living room when you're ready!" Dad called.
"But my bed! it's calling my name!"
"I'll send Ayden up there!" he yelled.
"Ugh, hang on." I looked in the mirror, and pulled the shirt up over my chest even though it fell once again.
I sighed and walked downstairs, I got to the second to last step, when Ayden lifted me up by the waist.
He spinned in a circle, causing me to squeal and giggle.
"I will bring your memories back of me.." he stated confidently.
I smiled at him,"Alright! Break it up!" my dad tried separating us.
"Oh, don't worry, I'll protect her. I won't let anyone hurt her. That's a promise." Ayden said.
There was definitely something about him, that just made me smile.
Though, I wondered if Ben was watching.
"Where will Ayden be sleeping?" I asked.
"Not in your room!"
"Father.. Really?" I questioned.
"Ayden can sleep in the guest room next to your room, Carter." Dad stated and plopped down on the couch.
I shook my head,"So, how come you never called me?" I put my attention back on Ayden.
"My parents were poor for awhile, a telephone was the last thing we thought of." he explained.
"You look tired.." I brushed his hair away from his eyes.
"I am, but I'm okay." he gave a small smile to reassure me.
"If you're tired, you should go to bed.." I told him, lightly petting his cheek with my thumb.
"But then I can't see you.." he pouted.
I blushed,"Huuuush.."
Ayden chuckled,"Alright, alright, I'll go to bed. Goodnight Mr. and Mrs. Gray."
He walked up to his room and set me down,"Goodnight, Carter.." he gently pecked my lips,"I'll be seeing you soon.." he then kissed my forehead and walked in his room.
Even though I was happy that he's here, it makes me sad I don't remember him.
I stepped into my room and saw Link chasing a gnat.
I giggled and turned my light off, climbing into the warm blankets and curling in a ball.
Seconds later Link realized it was time for bed, so she jumped up and slid underneath the blankets and my arm, and cuddled up to me.
After about an hour of waiting for sleep to take over, I heard my door creak open and quietly shut.
The bed sank in behind me, and a set of arms were wrapped around my waist.
I was almost positive it was Ayden, when I suddenly felt the person rest their cheek onto mine.
I then saw a few strands of that familiar dirty blonde hair.
"Sleep well, my princess.." and just as Ben said that, I was asleep.
----
I woke up to the room filled with sunshine, I looked at the clock on my dresser, it was 9:48.
Ben was gone, once again. I frowned at the loss of his warmth, and crawls off of the bed and walked to Ayden's room.
I shut the door behind me, and looked over at him. He looked so cute.. his black hair was a complete tossled mess, he was shirtless, and wearing blue sweatpants. I giggled and climbed into the bed in front of him, and wrapped myself in the blankets.
After about 30 minutes or so, he yawned and pulled me into his chest tightly.
He rubbed his eyes sleepily and looked down at me,"Good morning.." I said softly.
"Good morning, beautiful." he gave a long kiss on my lips,"Did you sleep good?"
I nodded,"Did you?"
Ayden nodded his head,"Tonight, can I sleep in your room?" he asked, pouting and batting his eyelashes.
"mhmm.." I smiled at him.
His face lit up with joy,"Yay!"
I smiled and sat up, and climbed out of the bed,"Hey, where are you going?" Ayden wrapped his arms around my waist and sat at the edge of the bed.
"I was going to go downstairs." I ran my fingers through his hair.
He planted a small, soft kiss on my belly, and nuzzled his head in my belly.
I smiled, he was so sweet, and gentle..
"Fake.." I heard Ben whisper.
I looked around the room, and didn't see him. Ayden obviously didn't hear.
He stood up next to me, and lifted me up,"You must love carrying me." I giggled.
Ayden smiled,"The price for being carried is kisses."
"Ah.. well, that sucks, cause I'm all out of kisses."
He stuck out his lower lip, and I leaned on him yo make him fall on his back on the bed.
I leaned down and kissed him, and pulled back to look at him.
He flipped us over, to where he was on top,"I will bring all of your memories back of me.. the wall standing between your memories, and the ones of me, will be broken down.. brick.." he kissed me once,"by brick.."he kissed me again,"by brick.." he kissed me fully, and closed his eyes.
Closing mine, I wrapped my arms around his neck, loving the feeling of his warm lips pressed onto mine.
We kissed for the longest time, only breaking every few seconds for a breath.
Though it was hard to focus on anything but Ayden, I knew Ben was watching.
I didn't know how, but I knew.
And he was angry.
