June: A Long Night

" Thanks Aaron but you didn't have to wait for me." I said walking past him. " Hold on!" He said walking beside me. " I wanted to give you this." He said reaching into his pocket. Reluctantly I stopped to watch him pull out a beautiful, gold necklace with a silver ring hanging on it. " Aaron- " he put his finger on my lip and said " Don't worry about it. I found it in a box while cleaning my attic. I have no purpose for it." He caressed it in his fingers before continuing " It's so interesting to think that it belonged to someone in my family. But, finders keepers losers weepers. I found it and I want you to have it." I began again " Aaron I just couldn't." He put his hands on his hips. " And why not?" " Because although I'm flattered, I just couldn't accept such an expensive thing." He pursed his lips and said " Are you saying I'm trying to buy you? Because I can assure you-" " Aaron no!" I said laughing. He laughed harder watching me and when I stopped he stopped. " Why did you stop?" " Because you stopped." I pretended to narrow my eyes. " Were you mocking me?" His eyes got bigger and before he said anything I laughed again. He sighed and lifted me in the air making me laugh more and he put me down and put our heads together.

I sighed and broke it up. " Goodnight Aaron." I said walking quickly. " Ok" he said trying to catch up. " I'll see you later!" He said as I closed the door on him. I sighed and leaned on the door, slowly sinking to my knees. I sat for a while crying over how overwhelmed today was. Why was Elvis being such a jerk? Why couldn't he just be with me? Was I not enough? I cried and cried and when I heard a car pull up, I quickly got up to change and flew into my covers just as my mother came in to my room. " June bug, are you awake?" She whispered as I tried to even my breath. She tiptoed in, careful not to wake me and sat on my bed. She pushed my hair behind me ears and kissed my forehead. " Goodnight baby." She said as she closed the door behind her. I opened my eyes again and sobbed into the darkness. As I was sobbing, someone was tapping my window. It was Aaron. He was wearing blue pajamas with rockets all over them. I wiped my eyes and made my way to the window. " What the heck do you think you're doing?" I harshly whispered. " Move over, let me in." He whispered back. " No way in hell am I letting you in here, go home Aaron!" He frowned and crossed his arms and said " I'm not moving until you let me in." I shushed him scared that my mother would open the door to find a boy at my window. " Come on June. You left without taking my gift." He said lifting the necklace again. " Oh my gosh Aaron." He made no movement and sat closing his eyes with his arms crossed. " Fine, but don't make noise! Do you understand?" He nodded his head and his eyes brightened with excitement.

I moved over and went back to my bed and sat as he climbed over. His head came in first and then his arms and then he turned himself to bring his legs over when he fell with a thud. Scared shitless, I told him to hide in my closet as I heard my fathers boots walking towards my room. Again I faked my sleep, trying to snore lightly and even my breathing. My father came in and kissed my chin before examining my room. He made his way towards my window to close it. He shook his head and left again. I sighed and whispered to Aaron to come out. He came out and sat beside me on my bed. " Here." He said as he put the necklace over my head. I sighed giving in. " Thank you." I whispered to him. " You're welcome." He whispered back. He got up and walked to the window and opened it. Then he came back to sit beside me, closer than before. He sighed and said " wow." He got up to examine my things. " June, your room is really... It's really you." I giggled and thanked him. He finished looking around and sat beside me again. Even closer than before. I sighed and was about to sit when he lied back into my sheets. " This is really comfortable. I think I'll just sleep here tonight." He said. " You can't!" I said too loudly. I looked towards the door and began again " You can't!" I whispered. He chuckled lightly and got up. " Well what are we gonna do then?" " You should leave." " Ok ok please, I'll behave." He pleaded giving me a puppy face. I sighed and just got into my covers and watched as he got in beside me.

In the darkness, I could see Aaron's warm blue eyes. They were radiant in the moonlight and his hair was black. He stared at me as I stared at him and he held my hands under the covers. " Your eyes." He whispered. " They look sad." When he said that I couldn't help myself from my tears. Sadness overcame me and instead of looking surprised, Aaron just held me close to his chest. He let me soak his shirt with my tears and caught in the heat, he kissed me. His lips were soft and at first they were reluctant and they lightly brushed against mine but he forced his lips, harder. With my walls down, I kissed him back and suddenly we were a hot mess in my bed. His hand went under my shirt and caressed my breast. I moaned softly, letting his hands travel throughout my body. I pushed him away and got on top of him, kissing him roughly. He then turned me over so he could be on top of me and he kissed my tears away before lifting my night dress off. I was naked except my underwear in front of him. Hot from the feel of his fingers I lifted his shirt and he got the rest of his clothes off. For a moment we caught our breathe and he took my hand in his before continuing to kiss my neck. I arched my back so more of my body could go in his mouth. Then his hands travelled down to my butt and he got on top of me. I felt him hard against my thigh.

Then Elvis' face, as light as day flashed in my mind and I told Aaron to stop. He grunted but stopped. " What is it?" He asked. I gasped for air, wondering what had overcome me. " I'm not ready." I stated. He said nothing but nodded and began putting his clothes back on. Then he sank into my covers again. " I'm going to sleep." He said. He laid with his hand out and I put my night dress on and laid my head on his arm and we fell asleep that way.

In the morning, I woke up to my mother knocking on my door. " June! Wake up! It's time for school, your gonna be late!" I wiped my eyes and felt someone beside me. The past night came flooding back and I shot right outta my bed. " Mom! Don't come in, I'm changing!" And I ran to lock my door. " Hurry June!" She said walking away. I put on a skirt and a pink blouse while staring at Aaron, still asleep lying right in the middle of my bed. I jumped on him and he moaned. " Get up! My mother nearly caught us!" I whispered. He wiped his eyes and stretched his back, taking his time while my mother called me from the kitchen. " Get up!" I said, punching his arm multiple times. He then caught my hands and pretended to rise like the dead with his eyes closed. I punched his arm one last time and he opened his eyes and mocked me. He rubbed his shoulder smiling and croaked " Ouch, that really hurt." " Get your ass up Aaron!" I walked to my window and opened it and stood with my hands on my hips looking back at him. He sighed and got up and climbed out and said " When can I see you again?" Scared to the max I said " Later." Then he kissed me and ran out into the daylight. I recovered from his kiss and decided that I had better set him straight before we ended up doing something we would both regret.
