Chapter 34

Sitting on Riley's bed in her bedroom. They talked about random things. Riley talked a lot about Erica one of the popular girls in school, and she didn't like her one bit. she told Aiden how she use to get bullied in school and she lost control one day which lead to the hospitalisation of three students. " that day was so terrifying. I thought I will be arrested and kicked out of school. I got lucky"

" yeah, you did " Aiden didn't take his eyes off Riley even for a second, throughout. and he kept smiling at her

" one time we got the news that Camryn, the school basketball captain was hospitalized, he broke his leg. to be honest. " looking down innocently " I was happy about it "

" really " with an eyebrow raised

" don't blame me. he was a bully " she explained why she was happy about it " a day before that. after school, I was heading out and all of a sudden, a group of students lift me and throw me inside the trash can then they soaked me with toilet water "

" I know. and I took his leg in return " Aiden informed. Riley's eyes fell wide open

" you what?" in shock

" I was there that day " he began. Riley moved away from him a little " I wanted to let him go but when I saw you cry. I couldn't take it. so I took away something precious from him. just for a little while"

" A little while? he couldn't play for a whole year "

" A year and three months" he corrected with a smile

" Aiden? it's not a joke " she scolded

" I thought you said you were happy "

" Well, I didn't know that my boyfriend was responsible. " throwing hands in the air. Aiden smirked at the word boyfriend

" so you are no longer happy about it. when your boyfriend only wanted to please you "

" I didn't say that "

" looks like that is what you are saying, Love " Riley blushed. " come " using his finger to gesture for her to come

" why?"

" Just come closer, " He said. Riley shyly moved closer to him with eyes locked in his " I will make anyone that hurts you pay even if you don't approve of it " she smiled " even if it's me "

" Really?" with an eyebrow raised " and how will you do that "

" I will stop seeing you " she slapped his chest

" don't do that" with a frown. Aiden laughed out loud

" then how do you want me to punish myself "

" you won't have to do it because I will do it myself"

" you? will punish me. how?" not believing what she said

" I will come up with a way. so don't try me. ok " Aiden leaned down and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. she was in shock

" yes love "

" don't do that" she whispered

" why " whispering back

" because" she blushed " it gives me butterflies" Aiden reached for her hand and pulled her towards him slowly until she was now sitting on his thigh. with his hand on her waist and hers around his shoulder. he kissed her slow and passionate. his tongue explored her mouth like it was a beautiful garden filled with exciting new followers. her full lips were something that he wanted more of. his mouth was sweating, a taste that she couldn't resist. she felt his hand underneath her shirt and as it came in contact with her skin, she melted.

Aiden pulled away slowly and their gaze met. he leaned her back until she was now lying on the bed with him on top of her. they kissed again. down to her neck, his warm tongue explored her skin. Riley held in her moan. Aiden continued. his hand explored further and everywhere he touched heated up. he took her lips again kissing her even harder while her hand explored his bark hair silk hair. a low moan escaped her mouth and it was like it motivated Aiden. The room grew hotter and smaller by the second. His touch took her to Paradise and Riley wanted more of it.

Suddenly Aiden stopped and their gaze met again. Riley saw something in Aiden's eyes that made her blush like crazy. his eyes welled with desire and want "let's stop " Riley's heart dropped

" wh....what "

" if we go on I may not be able to resist" looking down at her lips again

" oh. that " she felt relief. at first she thought he meant that they should stop seeing each other

" what were you thinking"

" nothing" Aiden lifts his head to look at the clock

" I should leave now. it passes 9 "

" I don't want you to go " she spoke in a low tone

"I neither by the Office closes by 9. Dr Wilson will soon be back " he explained

" oh. by the way. where do you stay "

" I will show you tomorrow"

" ok," Aiden gave her one final kiss before getting off her.

sitting on the bed, they were both taken by silence. Riley could see that Aiden wanted to say something to her but couldn't bring himself to say it

" what's on your mind?" she asked

" Hmmm. Riley " turning to look at her

" yes "

" I want you to keep pretending that you have no control. it will give me time to try to fix things "

" Aiden you have to..." he cut her off.

" please Riley. do it for me " it took Riley a long while to finally answer

" fine. I will "

Riley felt so lonely when Aiden left. she took a shower and got into bed but couldn't sleep. so she decided to wait for her Dad, hoping that when he returns she will have a little chat about the time they missed. She waited for so long until she finally fell asleep. Riley remembered very well that Aiden said the office was close by 9. Why didn't her father return

the next morning Riley heard a noise coming from the kitchen. she made her way down hoping to see her father but was in shock to see Linda. what is she doing here at this hour " Linda?"

" hey, Riley. how was your night " smiling

" what are you doing" confusion in her tone

" making a pancake. love some?" displaying the pan

" no, I mean what are you doing in the house " with an eyebrow raised and arms crossed " and where is my Dad "

" chill. why do you look upset "

" no. I am curious" sudden Wilson walked in all dressed for work

" hey, Riley. you are up " he walks pass her and went to seat down " what with that look " confused at the look Riley was giving Linda

" why is she here by this time of the day " she didn't understand why Linda will be in their house so early preparing breakfast. unless she slept here and why will she sleep in the first place?

" Oh. she?" Wilson pointed at Linda " we had work to do so she spent the night "

" Really"

" Yeah. why "

Riley didn't believe a word he was saying. she could feel that he was lying. I guess Aiden's behaviour yesterday suddenly made her suspicious that was why she felt that way
