Ms. Tough Stuff{Aaron Love story}

Chapter 8

Aaron's POV
I walked with Natalie into the mall as she stared at her feet. "You look nice today." I complimented. Smooth Aaron smooth. I thought to myself while she smiled at me. "Thanks. I didn't know you liked Panic! At the Disco." She replied pointing to my bracelet. "Oh yeah. Brendon Urie is amazing." I said. "I would give my life to meet Brendon Urie and and Ed Sheeran." She exclaimed jumping up and down. We walked to the food court and we ordered smoothies and a large order of fries. She pulled out some cash, but I stopped her. "I'll pay." I said. "No it's fine I can pay." She replied about to give the cashier money. "Wait look it's Brendon Urie!" I shouted. She spun around and I slid my card and typed in my pin. "You liar." She said glaring at me playfully. I laughed and grabbed our food. "I get to pay for the next meal." She insisted while taking a sip of her smoothie. "Fine with me." I said smiling at her. We finished eating and we talked a little more about bands and stuff. "So what's your favorite show?" I asked. "Well it's between Naruto and Attack on Titan." She said. "You like anime?" She nodded and I could see her blush. "Me and my brother used to binge watch those shows all the time." She said blushing lightly.

Natalie's POV
I blushed when I told him how I like anime. Nerdy I know, but it was something me and my brother bonded over. "Hey I need to get a prom dress mind coming with?" I asked. "Oh yeah I forgot that's like in a month though." He said as we got up to head to a dress store. "If I want to get a good dress I should start now. Learnt that the hard way last year, I ended up not even going because of how terrible the dresses were." I told him laughing. "Wow sounds like a true fashion disaster." He said in a sassy tone. "Yeah I guess you could say that, I think I might just go with a group of friends. I want you to be with us if we do." I said entering the dress store. We looked through a few before I chose a purple dress and Aaron chose a red dress for me to try on. I walked into the dressing room and put on the purple dress. I walked out and Aaron looked up from his phone. "Hm try on the red one." He said. I rolled my eyes playfully and went back into the dressing room. I picked up the red dress and looked at it before putting it on(MEDIA). I walked out again and Aaron's eyes widened. "Y-you look great." He stuttered while a dark red dusted his cheeks. "Thanks Aaron." I said sheepishly. I rushed back into the dressing room and got dressed in my original clothes. "So which one did you like?" I asked putting the purple one back on the rack and keeping the red one in my arms. "I liked the red one. Seems like you do too." He said pointing to the dress in my hands. I nodded with a smile and got to the cashier. "You two shopping for prom? You guys are a cute couple." The lady said as she scanned the price tag. "Oh we aren't a couple. I just needed to get a dress and he came with." I said. "Oh well you two would make a cute couple." She added putting the dress in a bag and we walked out. "Hey Natalie when is your birthday?" Aaron asked. "It's tomorrow." I said. "WHAT?!?" He shouted. "You should've told me." He added calming down. "It's not that big of a deal. I don't really want people getting me stuff." I said casually. He nodded and stayed silent for a while. "Aaron it's almost 5:00 we should probably head back to my house before my brother tracks us down." I said sadly wishing we could hang out some more. "Oh yeah." We walked back to his car and drove in the direction of my house. "I really wish I could've done something for your birthday." Aaron said pulling into my driveway. "I don't want it to be a big deal. I just want to hang out with you if you want to do something." I said as we walked to my door. We stayed on the other side of the door and Aaron looked down at me. "I had fun today." I said smiling at him. The front door suddenly opened and Lucas was standing in front of it. "Glad you took her home safe and sound. That'll be all Aaron." Lucas said. I rolled my eyes, pushed him back into the house, and slammed the door close. "I swear one of the days I'm gonna hurt him." I muttered shaking my head. Aaron let out a soft chuckle and I felt a pair of lips on my cheek. Aaron walked back to his car leaving me a blushing mess. I heard the door open and I held Luke back. "Aaron run!" I shouted as Luke slipped from my grip. Aaron looked back and his eyes widened and he started sprinting away. I watched Luke chase after him and I shook my head while laughing. I howled loudly making sure that Lucas could hear me. Before I knew it he was sprinting back to me and gave me a cold glare seeing that I was fine. I crossed my arms over my chest and gave him a look. I could see his ears fold back and he gave me an innocent smile. I walked over to him and dragged him inside the house by his ear. "What did I tell you about chasing after people." I said angrily. Lucas looked down, but his face lit up for a moment. A puff of smoke consumed his and I wafted it away from my face. I looked down to find Lucas as a small puppy. "Luke that doesn't work on me anymore." I said rubbing my temples. He turned back and engulfed me in a hug. "I'm just looking out for you Natalie. I don't want you to get hurt okay." He said patting my head. I just smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "I'm gonna head to bed." I lied. "Okay I'm heading out to go meet up with some friends." He said walking out of the house. "I'm just here to take my car home." I heard a voice say. I opened the door and leaned against the frame. "Luke let him go." I said referring to Aaron who was now standing next to his car. "Fine." He muttered getting in our Kia and driving off. I waved a good-bye to Aaron and went back inside. I walked upstairs and into my room and got changed into some pajamas. I grabbed a fresh notebook and started drawing pictures of Aaron. "Natalie I'm home!" I could hear Luke shout from downstairs. I looked at the clock on my bedside table and realized it was almost ten at night. I looked back at the notebook and realized that I only had one page left on the notebook. I skimmed through it and all there was on the pages were pictures of Aaron. I frowned and hid it underneath my mattress. As soon as I laid on my bed and closed my eyes I could hear Luke enter my room. "Goodnight Nat." He whispered placing a kiss on my forehead.
