Rounds

Chapter 9

                                Jay was sitting in the living room, watching TV and texting her associates on her phone, the doorbell rung and Jay jumped up and skipped to the door. When she opened the door she almost broke down into tears, "Oh my gosh, Aidan!" Aidan steps into the house and walks towards the stairs wobbling, he almost falls flat on his face, "Aidan, slow down," he struggles up the steps and Jay helps him up the steps, and into Jay's bedroom. Jay got a cold rag and placed it on Aidan's head, "Ahh," Aidan groans, "Sorry," Jay says, looking at his face up and down, "What happened to you?" Jay says concerned, "It was Ivy," he says softly, "They came out of nowhere and attacked me, he came saying 'Why did you do that to my little cousin' and stuff like that, and in my head popped Ivy," "Damn, what the fuck type shit is that?" "I don't know, they think I did horrible things to her, like beat her and argue with her, even get my way with her," Jay looked at him surprisingly.

                                     "You're a nice guy, I don't even see you doing something like that to a woman, why would they assume that?" "Maybe she told them something that wasn't true and sent her cousin and his friend to fuck me up," Jay looked carefully at Aidan's face, "They didn't fuck you up that bad, maybe your face, but that's about it," "Yeah, they didn't get my body bad, but my leg hurts like a motherfucker," Aidan says holding his shin, "Well, you just rest here, hold this on your head," Aidan grabbed the rag and placed it on his head, Jay walks out of the room and downstairs to the kitchen. Aidan lays down in bed, thinking about what just happened to him and how could he make it stop, the stunts that Ivy pulled really irritated Aidan, Jay came come back upstairs and gave him his glass of water. Aidan drinks the water and lays back down, "Are you okay?" Jay asked, "Yeah, just thinking about my situation right now," "What's on your mind?" Jay asks, going silent, "Ivy and my son," "What about Ivy and your son?" Aidan sat up on the bed and got comfortable, "I want to figure out a way to stop Ivy," "Like, taking your son away from you?" Jay asked trying to understand, "More than that," "Like what?" "The stunts she pulls, calling me a bad father, send her peoples to come and fuck me up," Aidan said pointing at himself, Jay sat there and thought about it for a second.

                                    "Well, the only way you can make her not do all of those things is win the case and get your son back," "I know, but the journey on the way there, it doesn't have to be like this between me and her," Aidan said, "She wants it to be like this, she wants to see me hurt," Jay rubbed his back, "Don't worry, it'll be over soon enough," "Why can't that be over now, I have to fight her back some how," "Being patient and winning your son back, that's all you have to focus on," Jay said, "I guess your right, I want to do something in the mean time," Aidan said feeling as if he needed to get revenge, "No, that'll just make everything worse for you, do you want to get killed or sent to jail?" Aidan sat their in silence and processed what he just heard, "No," "Then do this for your son, be the bigger person, she on child play," Jay said surly, Aidan thought about it, he didn't want to get killed or go to jail, either way, he'll never see his son again, "Fine, I guess you're right," "Good, I want to help you Aidan, not make stuff worse fro you and your family like everyone else," Aidan was surprised now at what he just heard.

                                    "Now lay down and get some rest, you'll heal if you get your rest," "Okay," Aidan got all the way on the bed and relaxed his body, "Do you want to sleep in your clothes?" "No, not really," "Well, you're welcomed to get half naked," Jay said with a flirty smile, "Okay, thanks," Aidan said with a smile, Jay was walking out of the room, Aidan looked at her up and down while she walked, "You're not going to come with me in bed?" Aidan asked, "You want me to?" "Yeah, kind of," Jay looked at Aidan and blushed a little, Jay turned her body and walked slowly towards the bed, Aidan was still looking at her like he wanted to eat her, Jay kind of felt the same. Jay sat on the bed, "Well, you know you look kind of hot with those cuts on you and bruises, I like the way they look on your tattoos," "Really, cuz I don't," Aidan laughed, Jay laughed along with him, "Why you don't like it?" "Because it's ruining my tattoos," "I guess, you still look sexy," Aidan stared at her and smiled, "Thanks," they both smile at each other.

                                      Jay took off her clothes and got half naked and got into bed with Aidan, Jay moved in closer and Aidan wrapped his arm around her, laying there, looking at the mirror that's above the bed. Aidan smiled and all of a sudden got hot, Jay felt his body heat and it turned her on, she felt like she needed him to be here every night when she went to sleep, she was far from trying to be friends with him, in her mind they already passed that stage. As time went by, Aidan dozed off and went to sleep, while Jay was still up thinking about Aidan, eyes wide opened, looking out her bedroom window. She wonders if Aidan really feels her or not, or maybe he's scared to love again, or maybe he just not use to a woman loving him, what was the answer, Jay wasn't going to be the one to figure that out. Jay didn't want to fall to deep for Aidan, in all he's going through, she knew she can be dropped in an instant. She didn't know what to think when it came to him, even though it hasn't been for that long, it just seems like Aidan is different from the other boys.

                                 The sun was starting to rise, as Aidan opened his eyes, he didn't know why he woke up so early, he felt like going for a short walk. He gets up softly to not wake up Jay and tiptoes away from the bed quietly, leaving Jay in the bed alone, he puts on his socks and shoes and heads to the stairs. When he makes it outside, the fresh air felt good in his lungs, he takes a deep breath and exhales, he sits down and thinks about the dream he had the light before. "Good morning, young man," the nice old lady greeted Aidan, "Good morning, ma'am," "What a gentlemen," the old lady said with a smile, Aidan began to smile at what the old lady said, "Why don't I ever get comments like that all the time?" Aidan said out loud asking himself, just then, Jay came out from the front door, "Aidan? Are you okay?" "Yeah," "Why are you sitting out here by yourself?" "I just needed some fresh air, that's all," "Oh okay," Jay said with a smile, she makes her way back inside to leave Aidan by himself again.

                            Aidan's son was on his mind once again, he couldn't wait to hear the next step of what do to get him back, he was ready to have him so the madness and the nightmare of being away from his son, he was especially ready to get away from Ivy. He knew that Jay was right about ignoring Ivy for right now, the only way to shut her down was to get his fatherhood back.
