Aaron | ON HOLD

Chapter 10.

           I didn't know why I was here or why I had even bothered saying yes to going out, but here I was.

The lights shone brightly above me and even though adrenaline was pumping through my veins, I just couldn't keep the worry and the image of Aaron out of my mind.

I thought back to this afternoon, the time we spent together. I didn't ever want it to end but it had to. Why was it so hard to stay away from him when all I wanted was to get back beneath him?

I desired him so much it killed me.

"Are you okay?" Sarah asked me. Her bright eyes were solely on me and I panicked for a little while, thinking she knew exactly what I was thinking. If she did, I was done for and so was my career.

"I'm good." I nodded my head. She narrowed her eyes but pushed over a cocktail until it was before me on the table. She gave me that look, the look that told me to drink it or else.

I grabbed the glass and I downed the cocktail all in one. I hoped it would chill me out just enough to let me enjoy my night out. I was here, I might aswell enjoy it after all.

"Damn, Chloe." She whistled. "Anyone would think you were going through a mid life crisis."

Little did she know just how much my life was a crisis.

All I could do was smile.

The night went on and I downed too many cocktails. I was tipsy before I knew it and weirdly, I felt much better. The worry had vanished within and I was ready to finish the night properly.

Sarah was already on the dance floor and I decided to go and join her. I found her in the midsts of a busy crowd and took hold of her. Once she knew I was finally up and ready, she took a hold of me back and started to dance wildly. I laughed.

"Dance." She sounded bossy but I didn't mind at all. I needed a bossy friend to get me out of my shell.

I started to dance, I started to forget about everything and everyone as the music blasted around me. The music took a hold of me and I was grateful that it could.

I didn't pay any attention to Sarah but I could feel her body moving close to mine. The dance floor was alive with other bodies dancing to the music and I didn't pay them any attention either.

Suddenly, I felt a pair of hands grip my waist. I froze. I hadn't expected it.

My eyes flickered to Sarah and she was already looking my way. She wiggled her eyes suggestively and smirked.

I couldn't stop now, I had to keep going.

I continued to dance with the man stood behind me. It felt wrong, too wrong but I didn't want to worry about that.

I didn't want to think of God damned Aaron King.

It was easier said than done, but I tried, I tried with everything I had in me.

All I could think about was the way Aaron touched me, the way his hands felt against my skin. He paid attention to what I liked, he kept asking me if I was okay. He was so sweet, too sweet. I thought about the way he moved against my body, the way he made me feel. This man didn't make me feel that way, he couldn't.

I continued to dance against his body, though, because I felt I had to. I wasn't ever going to sleep with Aaron again, so to get over, what do you do? You get under.

I shook my head at the thought, could I ever really go through with that? I wasn't a one night stand girl, I had never ever done that before.

Well, until Aaron, but that was in the afternoon so a one night stand isn't the correct term, is it?
