Sky for Two

Chapter 9.

"Ouch!"

"Oh don't be such a baby Aidan! Hey hey stand still, come on, work with me here"

I was desperately trying to keep Aidan still while applying disinfectant onto his wounded face and knuckles, but apparently Mr. Perfect over here was a big ole baby. Who would have thought?

"okay this one is going to hurt, squeeze my hand, not too tight please." I told him while preparing to pour the clear liquid over his left hand, which was cut the most. As the disinfectant hit his open flesh, I could feel the pain in my arm as he squeezed it. Tight. I ignored the pain as I heard him wince and let go off my arm as soon as the pain subsided. Quickly, I grabbed the bandages and wrapped up his cut and bruised knuckles.

"All done."

I reached into my bottom drawer and pulled out a cherry red lollipop. My favourite.

"Now, you get a lollipop for being such a good little boy."

I extended my hand towards him with the treat in my hand, smiling wide at finding myself so hilarious. With an unamused look, he took the lollipop from my hand and shoved it in his pocket, without saying a word. As the moment passed, my smile faded and it was time to confront him about his sudden appearance here tonight.

"Okay, now you're going to tell me what happened and why you showed up here at this time of the night."

"Its nothing special. Got into a fight in a bar. Walking home, saw a mailbox with your name on it, decided to ask for help. Cant show up home like this, my brother will kill me."

I heard what he said, but for some reason, that lame excuse didn't settle with me. That all seemed too perfect of an explanation, or maybe I was looking too deep into this.. I didn't even know Aidan had a brother! But then again, what do I even know about him? Hes one big mystery to me, and everyone else, really. I decided to just accept his story and send him on his way home, as I was getting sleepy and I needed my sleep, and thankfully there was no school tomorrow, so I could sleep in.

"Of course. I expect nothing less from you. Now that we have you sorted out, I think its time you be on your way, you know, home."

"What the hell do you mean you expect nothing less from me? Is little miss perfect going to judge me? Have you ever lived? Not just existed but truly lived Jessie? Have you seen life outside this small town? Have you ever walked the busy streets of New York or Tokio? Of course you haven't! All you do is sit here at home, submerged in your "perfect" life and only thinking about yourself!"

Hold up. Rewind. WHAT? He comes to ME for help and he has the guts to sit on my bed and insult me in my house? Ill be damned if I let this... this...THIS ANNOYING LITTLE WEASEL TALK TO ME LIKE THIS!

"Im sorry, WHAT?? How dare you come into my house and throw insults at me when I just helped you! You know what Aidan? You think youre so perfect yourself. You think youre such an adult and you know everything about life. But let me tell you sweetie, you know nothing! Youre still just as much of a baby as I am, probably even more of a baby than I am! Getting into bar fights and come running to a random girl! I do so much for you, always trying to help with school work and always keeping you updated and I don't even receive a single thank you! Not even a text back!"

Wow. Im brave tonight. I love it. I love telling people what I think about them, but it usually happens in my head, I would never let anything like this come out of my mouth and I don't know where its all coming from. However, for the time being, I shall embrace this bravery and use it to my advantage.

"Oh is that what its all about? Jessie wants a text back?"

A wide smirk appeared on Aidans face as he finished his sentence. Under the dim light his smile looked so evil and mysterious, it sent chills down my entire body, from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. I was furious. I was lost for words. I couldn't believe he just said that. I was shocked.

"Excuse me?" is all I managed to push out of me.

Aidan looked at me, locking his eyes with him. The smile grew wider and I could see that he was truly enjoying making me furious and uncomfortable.

"Yeah. Youre mad I wont text you back? If little miss perfect finally realising that she cant always get what she wants? Or... can she?"

The last few words rolled on his tongue as he bit his lip and winked directly at me. Is he actually trying to intimidate me? Because it sure as hell is working.

"I.....I...um..no. Absolutely not. Ew." I was stuttering, but not because his words were true, but because I was so caught of guard that he would even think or suggest anything of that matter. He was so wrong, and so far from the truth. He might as well be in a different galaxy with how far away he was from reality.

"What? Little baby stuck for words? You lost you ability to speak, little Jessie?"

Ugh this boy was so infuriating! I wanted to his kick and punch and spin kick his head off. But I decided against all that, for obvious reasons. Number one of course, being that I struggled to open water bottles on my own, so I stand no chance in this fight.

"You are absolutely and utterly DELUSIONAL if you think that whatever youre saying could even be remotely true. Fucking delusional. Now get out of my house. I will no longer bother you with my school help and you no longer bother me with... well anything really. I don't want to hear from you again, you total creep."

I decided I have had enough of this stupid, silly game and it was time for Aidan to leave before things really escalate and I decide against my better judgement to go full Chuck Norris on his bitch ass.

"I will leave, if you promise to prove youre not a total baby and come to my party tomorrow. Im throwing it in my house. My brother is leaving for the weekend and I decided to make the best of it. "

Did he actually just ask me to come to his house? To a party? Me?

"Wow, the guy you have a fight with really must have got you hard. Im afraid you might have sustained a horrible, horrible head injury and you have now become even more annoying than you already were. I didn't think it was possible, but sure, here we are"

I was one sassy bitch. But he was getting on my last nerves.

"Listen, Im very grateful for everything you do for me, and I just want to give back to you. It will be fun. You can bring whoever you want. Of course, that is if you have any friends to begin with, little Jessie"

Who does he think he is? As I was about to learn later, a wolf wearing a sheep skin, but I wont get too far ahead of myself, lets just say...he is a pretty good communicator and has amazing convincing skills. Must be that amazing charismatic personality of his. Or not.
