"Aiden? H-Hey, what are you doing here?"

I was surprised when I saw him standing outside my doorstep, leaning on the edge of the door. He had his leg crossed over the other with his arms folded. I gulped at his soul staring facial expression.

"I just came by to see you but, it looked like you were kinda... busy," He said and cleared his throat.

"Busy?" I asked, playing stupid. I just really wanted to change the subject. If there's anything I noticed about Aiden since we were kids, was that he gets upset whenever there are any guys alone with me.

I mean, he's done it with Dylan and even Heidi, their mother. But it's only because he was protective I guess. There was always something about Aiden having the need to protect the girls in the house.

Which I always found adorable as kids, but when we grew up, that anger seemed to turn into jealousness.

Which now, I kind of understand since the day he told me he's liked me for a long time. I'm stupid.

I then understood why he never not once took a liking to Matteo when we were dating. Whenever he'd come around, his entire mood always changed immediately and he'd ignore everyone or find a way to leave the room until Matteo was officially gone.

"How long were you out here?"

"Mm, not that long. I sat in my car for minute when I saw you and what's his face out here giggling," He rolled his eyes, thinking I didn't notice.

"Abraham? Oh, we were just studying!"

"Studying? Is that right?" He taunted while moving in closer. I gulped and took steps back but, he would only move in even closer each time I'd move back.

"M-Mhm," I gulped again.

"What were you studying?" He asked, tilting his head as I felt his hand slide around my waist, wrapping firmly around my back, locking me.

"U-Uh history," He leaned his head down to my height slowly as I trembled in his firm hold.

"History? Is that what it was?" He whispered, staring into my eyes as his lips brushed against mine. I couldn't form any words and before I knew it, his lips were making out with mine almost instantly.

"A-Aiden," I whispered as his lips continued claiming mine. He hummed against my lips.

"I-it's late. Maybe you should go home," I told him in between kisses as he would not let me loose at all.

"Or maybe," I gasped when he lifted me up, making me wrap my legs around his torso as he slammed the door shut behind him with his foot.

"I could stay right here with my little angel and continue locking lips until her lips are numb," He murmured against my mouth and I shivered.

My hands seemed to have a mind— or instinct of their own as I held his face gently while he basically made love to my lips. Aiden turned himself around, my back leaning up against the front door now.

"I-I kinda like your idea better," I admitted.

Aiden chuckled against my lips and squeezed the back of my thighs, "Wise choice baby girl."

"You k-know I'm not having sex with you right?"

He chuckled again, "I know and I wasn't thinking of it. That's something I'll let you decide when to happen, I'm in no rush at all," He said softly.

His words made my heart thump a little.

"Well, stop being all soft before it happens too soon," I joked as his lips kissed my neck, teeth nibbling at my skin. I gasped at the feeling and bit my lip.

"Well, you make it almost too hard. I can't help but be soft around my angel," He said against my skin.

"You do know I don't like him, right?"

"You don't like anyone," I scoffed.

"Not true!" He protested, "I like you."

I snorted at his words before grabbing his face from between my neck and lifting him to look at me. I sighed as we stared at each other, Aiden tracing circles on the back of my thighs. It kind tickled.

"You're beautiful you know that?" He whispered, eyes roaming across my face as he smiled softly.

"You've been telling me since we were kids," I said which made him laugh, the sound vibrating me.

"Hey, well you can't argue with younger me," He said and shrugged his shoulders. It was my turn to laugh this time. "Are you going to put me down now?"

"Hm, let me think about that. Uh... nope."

"What if Dylan walks in? You know she's good for that," I said, raising my eyebrow at him.

"She's making a YouTube video as we speak."

"Oh, yeah I forgot about that. But still, put me down," I demanded and gripped his hair softly.

"Make me," He said, smirking.

"Challenge accepted," I smirked back before leaning down and gently kissing both corners of his mouth.

I kissed from his jaw to his neck making his grip on the back of my thighs tighten. I could tell he was getting upset with my teasing because I wasn't meeting his lips like he wanted me to.

I leaned back some, our faces still close as I ran my fingers through his hair gently with a smirk.

He opened his mouth to say something but, I shut him up by biting onto his bottom lip. His eyes widened and I pecked his lips twice before reaching his left ear, "Put me down," I whispered, giggling.

"Fine," He groaned, "You win this round."

I laughed as he gently sat me down.

"You can leave now, before my dad gets home."

"Why? Your dad likes me."

"Yeah and what's he gonna think when he comes in and sees it's just you and I alone in the house?"

"Wow! They must be close friends!" He deepened his voice, trying to Imitate my dad. I rolled my eyes playfully before I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.

"See this could be him now telling me he's on his way home," I pointed out and glared playfully.

"Don't be such a drama queen. You enjoy my presence, star shine," He said before pulling me into his embrace, hands wrapped around my waist as he kissed my cheek before moving to my neck.

"Don't flatter yourself," I rolled my eyes while unlocking my phone to check the message.

It's not— oh.

"What's wrong? You just got tensed all of a sudden."

"Um, nothing," I mumbled and pulled out of his grip, my eyes still stuck on the text message.

"I'm taking it's not your dad. Who is it?"

"N-No one. Wrong number," I shrugged and pressed the side button on my phone, the screen turning pitch black and I stuck it back in my back pocket.

"I'm going to trust that you're telling me the truth," Aiden said, squinting his eye at me suspiciously.

"Hey do you remember that one time when someone called the house and we thought it was a wrong number?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"I remember every little memory of you and I," He smiled at me. It was so cute I almost literally blurted out the word awe right then and there.

Man, now I feel like I don't deserve him.

"Okay, since you remember, how old were we?"

"10."

"Your house or mine?"

"Mine."

"What were we doing before the phone rang?"

"Raiding the kitchen for snacks and I specifically remember because you cut yourself on the back of the neck on the sharp edge of the counter."

I stared at him in surprise as he moved my hair aside some and felt the back of my neck. He immediately found my scar from the memory and gently rubbed it before pulling away and stuffing his hands inside his jacket pockets. His eyes remained down on me.

"And before you say, yes I do remember what happened. We played with the person on the phone until my dad came and took the phone, he yelled at me but let you off with a sweet little warning talk. We then found out that the person on the phone was actually his boss and I was grounded that day."

By now, Aiden's face was in front of mine, our noses touching as he smiled. "Anymore memories you'd like to bring up?" He tilted his head to the side.

I shook my head, my eyes wide.

"Good," He chuckled at my facial expression and landed a soft kiss to my lips before leaning up.

Another knock on the front door broke my little daze and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, looking up at Aiden who only smirked before walking to the door. When another knock landed on the door Aiden rolled his eyes and opened it, revealing Kaiden and Arlin on the other side. I fully turned around.

"Why didn't you idiot's just open the door?" Aiden asked. Kaiden looked at Arlin who blushed.

"I tried to but this idiot felt it wasn't right."

Although I was confused as to why they were here, a smile stretched out on my face and I jumped up and down before running and jumping into Arlin's arms.

"Ekk! It feels like I haven't seen you in forever!" I squealed with excitement and kissed his cheek.

"I missed you!"

"I missed you too," I laughed and sat me down. Before I could even adjust to ground again, I was pulled back up by Kaiden and lifted across his shoulder. I squealed and slapped his back.

"Put me down! What is it with you people and lifting to the sky?! Do you want me to see God?!"

"No 'I miss you?" He scoffed playfully.

"I seen you yesterday."

"That was yesterday. Today's a new day."

"Let's play pass the Blair," He suggested.

"No!" I used all of my strength to jump from his arms. I took a deep breath and pushed my hair back.

"Why are you guys here? You knew they were coming?" I folded my arms at Aiden.

"Yeah. I'm not letting you stay home alone, so I called the guys so we all can keep you company. Dylan said she'd come when she was done," He said, shrugging. I sighed and just smiled at them all.

You know what, fuck it. I kinda didn't even want to be alone anyway. It would be nice to have them.

"Fine," I dragged out my words and rolled my eyes playfully as Kaiden and Arlin we now shoving each other to get to the kitchen first. I shook my head.

"I'm glad what's his face left," Aiden said and made his way to the kitchen as well. I blew out a breath.

"It's Abraham!" I called.

"And I don't care!" He called back and I chuckled.
