The Ro'meaves (Aaron x reader)

Chapter 16

We make it down stairs and he turns to me. "Why are you being nice to me all of a sudden?" I shrug. "I don't know. I'm probably just in a nice mood." He stares down at me for a moment and his eyes slowly go further down and I snap my fingers in his face. His head snaps up and I glare at him. "But I won't continue to be nice, if you don't fucking look at my eyes instead of my boobs." He chuckles and raises his hands up in defense. "Hey, I'm a guy. It's my natural instinct." I roll my eyes and flick his head.

He jumps back and rubs where I flicked him with a glare. "Ow, what the hell!" I laugh and start walking towards the backyard where I hear music and splashing. My feet touch the grass and I place my hands on my hips as I look at everyone having fun. "You want a cupcake?" I look at the cupcake Zane is holding up for me and I shrug as I take it. "Sure." I take a bite of the cupcake and he stands next to me. 

"You having fun?" I ask him. He shakes his head and I notice his sunburned cheeks peeking through his mask. I examine the rest of his body and notice he's a little red on his back. "Did you put sunscreen on?" He nods. "Of course I did. I just burn easily no matter what." He grumbles. I touch his back and he winces in pain. "Why are you touching me? It hurts." He snaps. "I know. I'll put some Aloe Vera on you after the party. It helps." "Thanks..." I nod and stuff the rest of the cupcake in my mouth. 

I notice he keeps glancing behind me and I go to turn around but he grabs my shoulders. "What the fuck is behind m-" Before I can finish my sentence, I'm tackled into the pool. They let go of me as we swim up and I cough out some water while rubbing my eyes. I open them to see a smirking Aaron and I splash water at him. "What the fuck Aaron!" I laugh as he splashes water back at me. "That's what you get for flicking me on the head." "I'll get you back." I look up at Zane and point at him with a glare. "And you." I swim over to the edge of the pool and hop out. 

He starts running away but I'm faster and I tackle him into the pool. He quickly swims up after I submerge and he chuckles. "How dare you not tell me what he was gonna do." "It was worth it." He shrugs and splashes water at me. I flip both of them off and start swimming away.

"Where's mom and dad?" I ask Garroth as I lay down on a seat allowing the sun to dry me off. "They left. Dad had an emergency meeting, and mom had to be involved. They won't be back until tomorrow night. So I'm in charge." He says and hands me a beer. "Where the hell did you pull this from?" I say and crack it open. He rolls his eyes. "Out of my ass." He says and opens one for himself. He stands on a chair and does that whistle thing with his fingers. Everyone looks at him and he holds up his can. 

"A few months ago, my mother and father decided that they wanted to adopt a child. I went with them to find a girl to be mine and my siblings sister. Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting to find such an amazing, and beautiful young lady to be apart of this family. I thought we were just gonna find some girl to be added to this family, and I didn't think I would love her as much as I have come to love her. But she really has grown on me." He looks down at me with a loving smile, then looks back at everyone. "I'm pretty sure we can all agree when I say that she has been amazing to come to know. And I wouldn't trade her for anyone else. I am looking forward to watching you grow into an amazing woman. I love you baby sister. Happy birthday." 

Everyone claps and cheers and shouts out happy birthdays. He steps down from the chair and leans down to hug me. Zane and Vylad make their way over and hug me as well. I stand up with a smile and we group hug. I step up onto the chair Garroth was on and shake my head with a smile. "Thank you Garroth. I love you too." I look at everyone and my smile grows as I look at all the smiling faces. "And you guys. I love you guys. I couldn't have even imagined I would make such amazing friends. Thank you guys for making me feel welcomed when I came here. When the Ro'meaves came to the adoption center, I didn't think they would want me. Of course, no one ever did. But they sure surprised me. Fuck I am so grateful for them. For giving me a home. And you guys. I'm so grateful for each and every one of you. You guys aren't just my friends. You guys are also my family. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Thank you all for coming and surprising me with this party. I have always hated parties, but this, I loved this. Thank you." 

"You're welcome! We love you too!" They scream and whistle at me. I giggle and hop down. Garroth jumps up on the chair again and holds up his beer can. "Oh yeah! We have beer!" Everyone cheers and starts rushing over to Garroth. I take the last sip out of my can and trip a little bit trying to move away from the people. I almost fall but someone catches me. I look up, only to be met with Aaron's charcoal eyes. I stare at them for a second and the longer I do that, the more they look like a pitch black night sky. And the twinkles in his eyes make it look like he has stars in them. "You have pretty eyes." I say and he blinks. "Um, thanks..." He helps me stand straight and turn around. "Garroth! Throw two to me!" I yell and he does as I say. 

I turn around to hand Aaron one of the cans and he gladly takes it. We open them at the same time and I smirk. "I bet I can finish this before you." I say and he raises an eyebrow. "Bet." He smirks. "On 3, we chug." He nods. "One.... Two.... Three!" I instantly start chugging down the alcohol and I throw down my can once I'm done. He does the same once he's done and coughs a little. "Fuck princess. I've had like 3 of these. That's the only way you're able to beat me." I roll my eyes. 

"Mhmm. Sure thing partner." I poke his nose and he swats my hand away. Zane brings two more to me out of nowhere and walks away without a word and I hand one of them to Aaron again. I grab his wrist and take him into the house and up towards my room. We get inside and I plop down on my bed. 

"Why are we up here?" I pause for a second. "Um. I don't know actually. I didn't even realize what I was doing. What the hell?" I shake my head as I open the can in my head and take a drink. "I think you've had enough of those." He chuckles and takes a sip of his as well. I shrug. "This is only my third one. It's just the brand though I'm guessing. It's expensive, so like, I'm guessing you can get drunk faster." He laughs and nods. "Sure." There's a long pause as we silently take a few more sips. "So. Are we just randomly friends now?" He asks with a raised brow.

I shrug. "Depends." I get up and walk over to the windowsill and sit down to watch the party going on downstairs. "On?" "If you're still gonna be all grumpy and shit." I say as I take another sip. He chuckles and sits across from me. I look at him and butterflies fill my stomach. 

He looks down at the party and I just stare at him. He's so good looking, oh my Irene, how did I not notice this before. That fucking jawline, damn. He looks back at me and raises an eyebrow at me. "You done drooling over me yet?" He smirks and I roll my eyes and look out the window. I see him staring at me out of the corner of my eye and I smirk. "You done drooling over me yet?" I mock and he laughs. I look at him again and tilt my head a little to the right. "You have beautiful eyes." I say and he nods. "Yep you really are dunk." He chuckles and stands up. 

"Am not." I mumble. "Yes you are. Come on princess. Where are your jammies?" I giggle. "Jammies?" "Shut up. Where are they?" I yawn and shrug. "I don't wear pajamas. Just a tank top and my undies." He sighs and starts looking through my drawers. I lay down on the floor and close my eyes. "No, no, no. Princess get in bed." I feel myself get lifted off the ground, and my face leans against his chest. I look up at him and put my hand against his face. He looks down at me and smiles. 

He sets me down and I look up at him through sleepy eyes. He smiles at me and leans down. "Happy birthday Princess." He kisses my forehead and turns around to leave. "Wait, can you stay?" I whisper. He turns around and gives me a warm smile. "Sure thing birthday girl." I scoot over for him and he lays down next to me. I turn around and close my eyes, instantly passing out.
