Chapter 5
I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and generally happy. Getting out of bed in a daze, I took a shower, and got dressed. Wearing baggy jeans, a neon t-shirt with a cute robot on it, and red converses, I headed down stairs. Then, sitting on a chair by the island in my kitchen, I got an apple and started munching.
It was Saturday, so I didn't know what to do. Aiden said he would call, but I didn't want to sit around waiting all day. 'What if he didn't call? What if he thought our date was bad? What if he wanted to breakup with me?' So many of these thoughts were going through my head, that I was beginning to panic.
Being so deep in my thoughts I almost didn't hear the phone ring. I looked at it for a moment, then bolted out of my chair and got it on the second ring.
"Hello?" I asked, really hoping it was Aiden.
"Hi, Jones. It's Aiden," he said. I felt all my earlier panic melt away. I sighed softly in relief.
"Hi. I was starting to think that you weren't going to call," I said. Then I immediately felt so stupid. Why was I being so honest? I probably sounded like one of those clingy girlfriends that tries to control her boyfriend's life.
"Vic, do you know what time it is?" Aiden asked. I looked at the clock. I read 10:30am, which made me feel even stupider.
"10:30," I said cringing.
"Exactly. Do you know how hard it was to not hear your voice for that long? I was thinking about calling right after our date, but I didn't want to sound clingy or anything. So, I just.....kind of..... sat outside of your window all night," he admitted sheepishly. I smiled slightly at the thought of him sitting right there all night. At the same time I kinda thought it was creepy having him there without me knowing.
"That's kind of creepy, you know that right?" I asked with a slight smirk.
"Well, it is me," Aiden said.
I laughed a little saying, "True. Very true. Want to hang out today? Just the two of us?"
"Sure. How about now?" he said enthusiastically.
"Okay. Where and when?" I asked a little amused.
"How about your house and now?" Aiden asked.
"Sure," I replied happily.
"Okay, turn around," he said. A little confused, I turned around. And there he was. Standing there with his hair slightly in his eyes, phone to his ear, and smiling like a fool. I hung up the phone and rolled my eyes.
"You know I have to pay for those minutes," I informed him turning to the fridge for something to eat.
I was still looking when I felt warm arms wind themselves around my waist. Not to mention the head that rested on my shoulder. I could feel my face getting very hot.
"I love it when you blush," Aiden said softly in my ear.
"This is so unreal," I mumbled closing the fridge. My face, finally, cooling down
"What is?" he asked turning me around.
"I'm the girlfriend of the prince of vampires. We only had one date. That's just a tad weird," I said blushing. Again. 'Why does he always do that to me?' I thought feeling slightly stupid.
"I don't mind, but if it bothers you we could not be girlfriend and boyfriend," Aiden said. I could hear the sadness in his voice.
"No! Trust me I want to. Its that I've never had a boyfriend before or after Blake. And look how well that turned out," I said looking away.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said slightly embarrassed.
"Well I can assure you I will not do anything like what he did to you. Trust me. I maybe a jerk, but I would never do that to anyone. Anyway, what do you want to do today?" he asked.
"Lets go to the park!" I exclaimed feeling so much better..
* * *
At the park nothing special happened. We just hung out for a while, and after went back to my house for a movie. This time I picked the movie. So I picked a Romeo and Juliet.
While was watching it, Aiden was making fun of it. Some of his comment were just to funny not to laugh to.
"Why are we even watching this?" Aiden asked right in the middle of the good part.
"Because you said I could pick the movie. So, be quiet," I hushed him. Then turned back to the movie
"Fine," he said. I could tell he got an idea because, from the corner of my eye, I could see he was smirking. Then I felt his lips graze my jaw. "I'll be very quiet."
Aiden started to kiss from the top of my jaw to my neck and back up. I was so distracted that was oblivious to everything, but his lips. Turning my head slightly, I caught his lips. He deepened the kiss, but I wasn't complaining.
Soon enough, I was laying on the couch with Aiden on top of me. His hands stayed on my waist the whole time. Eventually, we broke apart for air.
"It is very hard to believe you never had another boyfriend other than him," Aiden said slightly breathless.
"Well, going to a all girls school doesn't give me much to work with," I said also a little breathless.
"I am so glad you burnt down your school," Aiden said getting off me and sitting up. I sat up also.
"Now that we've gotten that out of our system, lets watch the rest of the movie," I said happily.
"Fine," he sighed. I laughed a little.
Near the end of the movie, I must have fell asleep because I woke up the next morning in my bed. I looked to see watch time it was and saw a note from Aiden.
Dear Jones,
I had a great time. Though the movie was horrible. Next time I think we should go out for dinner or something. I'll see you at school Monday. I'll call you later.
Aiden
P.S. I hope next time you don't fall asleep on our date. But I'm sure you'll make no promises on that.
That sarcastic little jerk is going to get it one day soon. But I'm happy to say that he's the sarcastic jerk I've grown to really like. Maybe even love someday. Someday, I think, soon.
