I woke in my bed alone and for a second I was panicked only remembering falling asleep during lunch. I checked my hand and I was relieved to see that the note and the necklace with the ring was still there. Not like I would ever admit it but I sort of like Aden Weller, and I certainly like my name better as Tara Weller than Tara Polar. But what really confused me was that I was in my bed alone no Aden in sight. I got up rubbed my eyes and listen intensely all I heard was the television blaring about football, no movers. To be truthful it freaked me out. I ran down the stairs and I saw my dad with a lot of pop and chips cheering for a football team. If I knew what team I wouldn't have a life.
"Dad, why aren't we moved?"
"The Weller's said something about divorce and not wanting to see you" My dad mumbled distractingly.
I frowned at first not comprehending every thing he was saying. Then I looked at the tiny piece of paper in my hand. 'He couldn't have read it, could he? Even if he did I thought he was different' I looked down, Ashamed more than I was willing to admit about the contents of this letter. It was a bit harsh but I was expecting Aden Weller to fight for me. If he wasn't going to then I was going to have to piss him off maybe to get his ass in gear and get him to fight for my love. First mission: call Aden's house.
So I did what I needed to do I grabbed my cell phone and called his house, the ass who won't fight for me programmed it in before he decided he doesn't want me.
"Hello" Aden answered.
"Hey this is Tara Weller is Josh there?" I said his last name as mine because for one it was correct and two I was pissing him off by asking for Josh and I didn't want him to hang up.
"Yea, I'll get him" he sounded depressed and I was having second thoughts of what I was about to do.
"Hello?" Josh cheery voice asked more than said.
"Hey Josh it's me Tara I was wondering if you'd mind helping me out with this problem I got"
"What's the problem?" he asked. I could hear Aden in the back ground asking question about what I'm saying.
"Well, I seem to sort of like Aden and I was wondering if you'd help me make him jealous"
"Hmm, sounds interesting" In the background Aden was yelling at Josh to know what was interesting. "But you know, your dog would come to you if you just called for it" I slightly laughed because I knew Josh was talking about Aden.
"But then I'd have to admit defeat and confess that I'm growing use to him"
"Yes, I guess the dog could be a hassle if you did that, ok I'll help you lure him back home"
"Thanks Josh" in the background Aden seemed to slightly caught on as he was demanding to know what they mean by dog. I guess he remembered I don't own any pets.
"Your welcome"
"So it's a date" I joked.
"It's a date" I heard him raise his voice so Aden would hear. He then continued in a lower voice "If I have any say in it tonight after we got out to eat at a fancy restaurant your dog will come home"
"thanks, see you at eight?"
"Eight it is" then he hung up.
I went upstairs and changed into one of my only dresses, it was a pretty nice dress. It was long, silk and red it covered a lot except my back it showed off my skin there.
By 7:48 I was ready, I had my make up done and I had the dress and my hair just the way I wanted it. The door bell rang at 8 o'clock sharp. My dad opened the door with a big smile on his face but then he saw Josh. "You gotten all dressed up for this boy? Are you crazy? Aden has been in love with you since he first met you" my dad was unhappy about me being married to Aden since I was unhappy but seeing me with another guy and still being married made him Angier than a bull that see's a red cape. Why? Because my mom cheated on my dad and then left with the other guy. My father is still devastated till this day. Before he could complain and whine and beg me not to go I whispered into his ear about my plan hearing it made him a lot more happy. Before we left, Josh told me that Aden was going to be there also, but hidden. We then went into his car once in he laughed and said "I thought your dad hated that you were married to Aden"
"Secretly I think both of them wanted to be somewhat like family and if I'm married to Aden they are" it was the only reason I could think of that my father would want me to be with a guy like Aden. Truly I didn't want to let him down either. We pulled into the parking lot as soon as the silence between us was getting unbearable. Before we got out I told him we were going to have to find something to talk about or else we'd look stupid. He agreed, but did not offer any topic to the table. So I left it at that and left the car taking the lead. But Josh pulled me back and intertwined fingers with me. "Are you stupid? Were suppose to look like a couple" he wasn't being rude even though you might think he was. Truth be told he was pointing out a necessary thing. I slowed my pace, held his hand and smiled at him.
Aden's POV
I saw them get out of the car together. Tara as stubborn as a bull in the beginning didn't walk with her date even though it was her choice of guy. I grinded my teeth when I saw her slow down and hold on to Josh's hand and smile like a idiot at him. Ok she didn't look like a idiot she looked like an angel who fell for the wrong guy. I growled under my breath. I didn't leave Tara so she could have Josh. I left hoping she'd beg for me back. This has never happen before in any of my relationships.
I followed them into the restaurant. I got a table by theirs and truly I couldn't stand to watch those two smile at each other. Soon it was way to much for me. My face burned with anger and I couldn't stand to see those two together any more I couldn't stay thinking of those two as an item. Fighting for what was mine seem like the only solution. Pushing back my chair not caring that it crashed to the floor and that I was making a scene. I walked as fast as I could to their table and I glared at Josh. Grabbing his shirt and pulling him out of his chair. "You dirt bag trying to steal my girl when were having a ripple in our relationship to think I've ever trusted you" I then pulled back my fist ready to punch him but before I did I heard Tara voice say words that I never expected her to say. "Stop it Aden, he was just helping me get you back"
Tara's POV
Aden pushed back his chair and let it fall with a thud to the floor. His face was red with anger and he walked, or should I say jogged over to our table. His fist grabbed for a hold on to Josh's nice dress shirt and he pulled him into the air and was yelling in his face not minding that spit was flying from his mouth. "You dirt bag trying to steal my girl when were having a ripple in our relationship to think I've ever trusted you" he then pulled back his fist and was getting ready to punch him when I thought enough was enough. To get Aden to fight for me and want me was not worth seeing Josh get punched in the face. Or to see Aden hate Josh.
"Stop it Aden, he was just helping me get you back" I explained and begged him.
He dropped his fist and he turned to me with the stupidest grin on his face.
"You wanted me back" he teased.
"Not because I like you, it's because I like your money" I lied and then I saw Aden face fall.
"Please Aden I don't like it when your sad, when we were younger it always made me cry remember?" I remembered clearly everything Aden and I did as kids I just never knew that the wedding was real.
He nodded still sad. "I'll do anything to cheer you up" really I could stand his sad look.
"Even move in with me and sleep in my bed"
"Yes" I said it a little to quickly than I realized what I said yes to.
"Wait Aden.." he stopped me before I said more.
"You already said yes, no taking it back." that bastard used my weakness against me. Maybe I wasn't growing fond of him after all.
Stupid ass tricked me.
Now who's stupid.
Me.
At least I'm not an ass though.
