Three Little Words

Chapter 17

“We’ll keep it all at my house.” Allison popped open the trunk and grabbed out three of the six bags of hunting gear we had just bought. All together we’ve spent five hours in that store debating on whether or not a three blade broadhead or a phantom SC four blade was a better fit for the ‘Beacon Hills Lifestyle’ as Allison calls it.

“Where in you closet?” I joke, placing the last three bags on my arm. I stumble slightly due to all of the weight but regain my balance after a pair of strong arms sets me back in place. Judging by the intoxicating smell I can already tell who it is without turning, sounds cliché I know.

“I’ll see you inside” Allison winks at me with a growing smile before turning and heading up to the cement steps to her apartment.

I wait until she’s fully inside the swinging doors before turning to face Aiden’s gorgeous figure. The annoying, yet sexy smirk isn’t sitting on his lips. Instead a look of worry, which I’ve only seen once is there.

“Why haven’t you answered your phone?” He asks taking a glance down at my bags.

“I was busy all day” I swap hands, placing bags all the way up my right arm. The worried expression on his face is exchanged for the signature smirk I’ve grown to love.

“To busy for me?” He pouts, wrapping an arm around my waist. I stumble over my words like an idiot, god Dakota really? His smirk grows wider as he pulls me close to his chest, burying his face in my neck.

I bite back the moan as he presses a soft kiss to the skin there.

“Dakota, come on!” Allison’s voice splits us apart yet Aiden still has a tight hold on my waist.

I stand on my tippy toes and place a firm, well needed kiss on Aidens lips. We pull away slowly, Aidens eyes are still closed as I do so.

“See you around” I wink, slowly backing away from him and the curb. His half smile makes butterflies pound against my stomach as I fully turn around to walk up the stairs, I don’t need to break my neck or something.

Just as I’m about to push open the glass door I remember something, turning around quickly. Aiden is still standing there waiting to hear what I have to say.

“You mind shutting that?” I nod to my popped open trunk with a smirk on my face. He rolls his eyes but slowly closes the trunk, leaning against it after woods. “Good boy” I tease, getting a playful glare.

“Your welcome, Kitten” I smile at the pet name I once hated a few months back, it seemed so long ago. Aiden gives me a wink before jogging to his motorcycle across the street, how didn’t I hear him pull up earlier?

Noticing me still staring he lifted his hand to his lips and kissed it before holding it to me. I smiled, pretending to catch it before turning back to head inside.

I dropped the heavy bags down in Allisons closet before plopping down on her Tempur-Pedic mattress, the softness of it made me tired.  

“I saw that cheesy thing out there” Allison teased, poking her head out of the bathroom. I groaned and rolled over on the bed, burying my face in the rumpled forest green sheets. “No worries, at least you guys don’t have matching sweaters.” We both shuttered at this one, me sitting back up in the process.

“Why are you not getting ready?” Allison shouted from the bathroom. I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion. She then stood in the doorway, crossing her arms over her chest. “Dinner then practice, it’s friday night.”

“Oh, right.” Finals must have fogged up my brain. “I’ll get ready then.” She nodded and headed to the closet, bringing all of the bags to her bed. I headed to the closet and grabbed my usual training outfit off of the shelf in the way back.  

The outfit consisted of the black leggings, studded combat boots, black varsity jacket, with an under armour batman sports bra. I exited the closet and went over to the bed where all of our new weapons lay, some illegal.

Allison carefully situates our weapons in the trunk while I get the car started with the flick of my wrist. While I’m playing with the radio Allison gets in, shutting the door behind her.

“Let’s go”
