CHAPTER 6 - Aurora

I didn't say anything for the next few seconds. I had a blank expression on my face. Leo Grey, the guy who couldn't even bear to look at me, took off my heels and handed them to me.

"Thanks. " I muttered speechless taking the heels from him. Leo stood in the same place on his phone. Who was he even texting? It's not like he has a girlfriend... Or does he have a girlfriend?

I shake the thought from my head. This is Leo Grey we're talking about. He 'doesn't do girlfriends.'

"Are you staying the night?" I asked standing up with the heels in my hand.

He looked up from his phone and quickly looked me up and down. "Yeah it's too late to go home, I'll just sleep in one of the guest bedrooms."He replies with his eyes in his phone. That stupid phone.

Leo sleeps here regularly because he hangs out with Nikolai and they stay up till all hours, of course I never cross paths with Leo Leo when he's here because I'm either at college, or I'm hanging out with Sofia and Raquel.... or sleeping.

"Okay, goodnight ." I said walking away. He can't even look at me. What could I have possibly done that he hates me so much.

"Night." He responded still on his phone. I walked up the stairs and went into my bedroom leaving the door ajar.

I walk towards my bed and kneel down to put my heels on the floor. I have to be quiet because I don't want to wake up mom and dad or Nikolai for that matter. Nikolai loves and needs his beauty sleep or he'll be a beast the next day and I'm not joking about that.

I sit on my bed and turn on my bedside lamp and put my purse next to me. I open it and take out my phone to text Sofia and Raquel on our group chat.

AURORA : Thanks for tonight girls I had a lot of fun. I'll see ye tomorrow, goodnight. 😘 xx

I sent the text and put my phone on the bed. I got up and went to the bathroom to get ready for bed because I was absolutely exhausted. I brushed my teeth and took off my makeup. When I was finished I went back into my room and tried to undo my dress zipper in front of my mirror but I failed miserably. I couldn't reach high enough to pull the zip down. I was also stumbling which made the situation ten times worse.

"Oh my god come on". I whined still trying to reach the zipper. I heard footsteps coming down the hallway and I was waiting for mom and dad to come in and give out to me for how loud I'm being but it wasn't either of them. It was Leo.

"Whats going on, are you trying to train a pack of elephants or what? " Leo asked coming into my room.

I rolled my eyes at his snarky comment. All I want to do is go to bed and now I have to dela with him. I gave up on the zipper and turned around to face him.

"No I can't reach the zipper to this damn dress."I reply annoyed.

"Okay just let me do it." He said grabbing hold of my waist and turning me around so he undo the zipper. Shivers run through my body as he keeps his hand on my waist. I watch as he moves his hand up slowly, past my elbow and up my arms and on my shoulder. My mouth forms and 'o' as I try to breathe ad he touches me. I feel as if my body is on fire wit his touch.

But as much as I hate to admit it. I long for his touch.

I struggle to breathe as he moves my hair to touch my left shoulder only. I look with desperate eyes as he moves his hand down through my hair gently touching thr tip of my shoulder. Goosebumps arise on my arms as I take a deep breath trying to remain as calm as possible.

'' This is what he wants'' I tell myself. '' He's doing this to make a fool out of you'' but I don't care. In this moment right now, it feels as if he cares. I'm not delusional... Or maybe I am, but in this moment in time I choose to analyze what's right in front of me.

I look at us in the mirror. Him standing right behind me, he's so close I can feel his shirt buttons against my back. The way he's holding my waist, the way he's looking at me in the mirror with lust and desire in his eyes.

Somoene can't fake that.. Not even Leo. He just can't. I still watch as his hand touches the zipper of my dress and he pulls it down painfully slowly. The sound echoes in the room along with my ragged breaths.

I freeze when I feel his thumb touch my lower back. He leaves it there for a second. He moves away when I fold my arms in front of my free to stop of from exposing my breasts.

He moves behind me again until I feel his entire body against me. The coldness of his dress shirt against my bare back. It felt like ice being thrown into fire. I stifle a moan as he leans his head to say something in my ear.

"There you go Aurora. " He sternly says looking me straight in thr eyes in the mirror. I look at us in the mirror one more time.

He looks at me as his hand glides along my back before he puts his hands into the side of my dress and places his hand on my hips.

With my breathing unstable to the point I might faint and a million butterfly's in my stomach I watch us in thr mirror. I go to speak but nothing comes out. He steps back removing his warm hands from my body.

I turn around disappointed but still craving his touch. I need him everywhere on my body and for him to never let go.

That was until I see that smug smile plasters on his face.

I breathe shakily holding myself right hating myself for thinking he...

I force myself out of those ridiculous fantasy's.

Why are you doing this Leo. I ask stepping from one foot to the other.

"What do you mean?"He questions back acting dumb only with the smirk growifn wider. He answered a question with a question. The oldest trick in the book.

" You know what. " I say a tear running down my cheek.

No Aurora I don't, so why don't you just tell me instead if playing these games.

I shake my head. I'm playing games seriously. First off he comes and disrupts my fantastic night with the girls and acts like prince charming. Then he takes off my heels like a gentleman in which he most definitely is not and then he walts into my room and touches me like a boyfriend would do, but here I am stupid Aurora thinking bad boy Leo would go out with me. He only sees me as his best friends sister.

Of course I didn't say that, I wanted to, I really did but I couldn't bare the mortifying Aftermath of that so I chose to say the most pathetic thing I could think of. And of course the one that would boost his ego by a billion.

"Why are you making sure I never get over you?"

He looks at me and his smirk goes away. He walks closer but I step back. As much as I love him, which believe me I hate myself to admit, I need to start knowing when it's time to step back and this time is now.

He stops and and his mouth forms a thin line as he looks my body up and down.

"Because your mine Aurora and you always will be. "
