The Back-up Dancer's Love

Chapter 22

"No! Dogs and ferrets are the best pets you can have, don't deny it Aiden!" I laughed, ignoring the pain that coursed through my broken ribs. And everywhere else. 

  "Actually Kathy. dogs and snakes are the best pets you can ever have", Aiden smiled while looking at a text from his phone.

   "Oh, my mom is coming back with ou- the kids from the mall so we have to leave soon, and also, she wanted to know if it was okay for her to stop by Ben and Jerry's and get ice-cream for them", he asked. I just noticed that we had spent about 3 hours in the restaurant talking and giggling. It was amazing to go somewhere without the kids. No constant talking, crying, and the worst of all, fighting. 

   "It's totally fine if she does, jus make sure that she only orders them1 scoop, and in the little cone, they can't eat the waffle cone all by themselves", I said, snapping out of my thoughts.

    "Thank you so much for the lunch Aiden, I cannot even say how much I loved this lunch, date, thingamajiger!", I added. Aiden just smiled his award-winning smile as he talked.

   "My pleasure Kathy, I really need to get your trust back, and also, I had a lot of fun". He already had my trust, as long as he didn't act like Spencer. I frowned at the the thought of him as Aiden payed the check and we walked to the car.

   "What's wrong Kat-attack?" Aiden asked, as I had a flashback to that day on the plane. Bitter-sweet memories. I sighed inwardly as I tried to forget about the pain in my chest. And face. And legs. And back. And neck. I shook my head, telling myself to stop while I noticed that Aiden was staring at me with worriedness.

      "Kathy, what is wrong?".

       "Nothing. Is. Wrong. Aiden. Now drop it and drive." I said in an aggitated voice. Luckily, Aiden just smiled and started to drive.

         "Bossy as always Kat-attack". We had a little debate all the way back home if I was bossy or not. How I missed these little converstions and fights with him that didn't really matter.

           "I'm surprised your mom is not back yet", I said, opening the front door.

            "She probably got held up or something. Do you love Spencer?", Aiden asked, abruptly changing topics. I stuttered, my heart saying, 'Tell him!!!! He can save you!!! Spencer won't do anything to you! Spencer will be put in prison and you and Aiden can live happily ever after with the kids!'. While my brain said, 'Really Kathy? You need common sense. You have to love him because you know he will have a way for his so-called friends will kill you and your family. Maybe even Aiden.'

        I almost had a mini heart attack at the thought of Aiden getting killed by Spencer's doings. So I shut up my heart and listened to the brain.

      "O-of course I", no you don't Kathy, but my brain helped me out. Scumbag brain, "love...Spencer, that was a dumb question Aiden". I looked anywhere but him, already knowing that he did not believe me.

     "Kathy, why ar-"

     "Let's watch tv, okay?", I said whilst pulling him over and he shut up, obeying me. Maybe I am bossy. I looked for a show I liked, but nothing was on, so I threw the remote at Aiden, telling him that he could man the remote. I waited for his mom to come back home, but I guess she was busy eating ice-cream. I turned my head Aiden's way, and sighed inwardly at how handsome he was. A strong jaw, beautiful brown eyes, a perfectly muscled chest, high cheekbones. I blinked and he was starng back at me too. Well how akward could this get. Oh it could. I blushed furiously as he smirked at me, barely showng his perfect pearly whites. 

        My eyes dropped to his luscious perfect plump lips. But not in a girl way, in a perfect kissable way. Why the hell is he leaning in? And closing his eyes? Oh fuck it, I thought to myself, Spencer's kisses is hell. Let me experience a good kiss. I leaned in too, cussing myself in my head for doing this. To late now Kathy! Our lips almost touched, until I heard the door open. Plus 10 voices rushing in. I zipped back to my normal position, while Aiden looked angry, sad, and surprised a little. He smiled sheepishly at me and mouthed sorry, until Riley, Bradley, and Jordyn pretty much jumped on him. I laughed at him when Aiden said a little 'oomph' and he glared at me. 

       I stood up from the couch and walked to Christina, Aiden's mom. 

       "Thank you so much Christina for taking the little ones out! The day was so peaceful!" Until the part that I almost kissed your son. But I can't because my 'boyfriend' will go into a fit of rage. I was tempted to say that but self-control took over me and I didn't.

       "You are so welcome Kathy, I had a super fun time with them! We need to do this more!" Christina gushed whe she picked up Bayler and Toasty. I smiled, wishing today would last forever and ever. But, it couldn't. So I smiled and went to sit over near Aiden, where he had impressively gotten al the 10 energetic balls to sit down and listen to him sing. I closed my eyes and hummed along to the song. Enjoy this day while it lasts, Kathy.
