Noel’s POV
A hand was draped on me, holding me close. I tried to free myself but it was of use the person wasn’t letting go at all. My eyes popped open in alarm and I saw that I was lying down on a really wide bed with gray sheets. Not my bed. In panic I gently craned my neck behind to get a better view of my captor spooning behind me. I visibly and mentally relaxed at the face.
Aaron Lee, shirtless behind me. I lay back down and moved closer to his embrace, loving his scent that was everywhere. I tried to ignore the fact that he was shirtless, tried to ignore the warmth and the urge to run my fingers over his Latino tanned skin. I envy him, his body is so perfect and tanned beautifully. I on the other hand I’m as white as paste and incapable of tanning. I don’t burn in heat and I don’t tan. I’m just there.
Wait a minute, if this is not my room and Aaron is here then where I’m I? I tried to remember the events of yesterday. I went to the football game, we won. We attended a party, had fun and oh I drank alcohol. I must’ve gotten drunk because everything after is a bit hazy.
“Aaron?” I called softly holding his hands that were holding onto me. “Aaron get up its morning.”
No response, I pulled his hand away and he mumbled some incoherent words before letting go and turning over. As I soon as I sat up I was attacked by a massive headache. It felt as if monkeys were playing drums inside my head.
“Argg Aaron get up, Aaron!” I hit him with my leg that I just noticed was bare. I’m wearing nothing but a big jersey, I look down and sigh in relief when I set eyes on my underwear.
Aaron’s eyes lazily fluttered open— and I found myself envying his long lashes— then close, then open again as he sat up and looked around his eyes barely open, he then rubbed his eyes in a way that made him look like Maria Fernander’s age mate. He then yawned and stretched like a cat causing his muscles to flex around. I quickly looked away my face turning red. Then I scoffed, such a dramatic way to wake up.
“Good morning,” he said smirking at me. I turned to him with a playful frown.
“Are you done waking up now?”
“Um, no one minute more.” He started to stretch again turning to me so his packs are visible.
I pick up a pillow and throw at him, “dumb face.” He starts laughing .
“Oh come on you know you loved the show.”
“No I didn’t and where’s your shirt?” I ask looking around. I now know we’re in his room.
He crossed his hands, “where’s your pants?”
I long at my bare legs and his eyes on them. I immediately pulled the comforter over my legs. “Touché.”
“Don’t I get a morning kiss?” He asked moving close to me.
I leaned back, “nope, I have morning breath.”
He shrugged, “I don’t mind.”
He crawled to me and soon he’s hovering above me while I’m trying to hide my face. “No, no.” He place a kiss on forehead and I giggle as he moves to my left cheek, then my right—
“Aaron Lee!” Someone shouts from outside and I immediately recognize the voice as Bella’s.
“Oh my gosh,” I say jerking up in panic. I’m in Aaron’s house, I spent the night here. Oh my… I’m dead. I’m so dead. “Aaron no one can see me here.”
“Why?” He asked dumbly.
I smack his hand, “why? How can you ask that? What will your family think of me? Spending the night in a boy’s room. Oh my Zeus,” I cried out burying my head in my palms. “Your mother’s gonna hate me, your father that I have not met would kick me out and your sisters, those innocent minds, I’ll be a horrible model. Linda would think I’m a slut.”
“Pssh you’re exaggerating. They wouldn’t think that and my dad won’t kick you out. He’s cool.”
“Aaron Lee!” Bella shouted again, now really close.
“Aaron I can’t be seen here. I just can’t. Do something. Where can I hide?” I asked looking around frantically.
He groaned running a hand through his face. “Relax, just sit still.” He jumps off the bed, looking around for his shirt but he didn’t see it and he must have sensed Bella close because he ignored his search and rushed to the door opening it. I quickly used the comforter to cover all of me, including my face peeking out with one eye. “What?”
“Hangover anger won’t work on me,” she replies trying to come in.
Aaron blocks her path refusing her in, “What is it Bella?”
“Hmmph I know you had a wild day yesterday but that doesn’t give you the right to sleep till noon.” She says and I imagine her crossing her hands.
Noon?
“Noon?” Aaron asked voicing my thought.
“Yes Noon, now let me come in.”
“No!” Aaron says quickly, then clears his throat replying more calmly. “No, why do you want to come in?”
“Why don’t you want to let me come in?”
“Um its my room and I want my privacy.” Aaron says and I roll my eyes, I’m doomed.
“You’ve never stopped me before.”
“I’m stopping you now.”
“What are you hiding Aaron Lee?” She ask quickly trying to poke her head through spaces that Aaron quickly blocks.
“Nothing. Um… Jesse’s inside and he’s naked.” Aaron blunts out. Guess I’m Jesse now, except the naked part.
“Liar! Jesse’s such a troublemaker he can’t not comment at the sound of my voice.”
Tsk, the ego runs in the family.
“Well now he has a bad hangover and is capable of ignoring you.”
“Lair, let me in Aaron. Let me…” She stepped on his foot and he yelps moving away. She uses the opportunity to shove herself in. I quickly cover my face again biting my lip nervously. “Who’s that?”
“Bella Sol Altamira!” Aaron shouted clearly angry.
“Quit with the full name and tell me who’s under the duvet,” Bella said like a boss and I can already tell she’ll be a boss in highschool, even her name says so.
“Bella barging into my room is so rude and annoying, now get out this instant!”
“You were behaving strangely like you killed someone, I was just curious!” She shouted back.
“Curiosity doesn’t give you the right to be a nosy witch with a b,” Aaron countered making me want to laugh, is this how he fights with his sisters.
Bella gasped, “you did not just call me a bitch Aaron Lee.”
“I did. Now get out.” Aaron said, no commanded in a scary tone that showed finality. Like discussion ended.
A minute of silence went by before Bella spoke sounding hurt. “Fine, hide whoever you’re hiding for as long as China wall. I don’t fudging care.”
Aaron sighed, “You gonna tell mum aren’t you?”
“You bet I am.”
Sibling drama, I love.
Oh no, she can’t tell her mum. I’ll be doomed for sure then. Its better if only Bella knows, at least then we can convince her to keep it a secret, plus this comforter would surely give me heat stroke soon or worse suffocation. I slowly and reluctantly lower the comforter revealing my sweaty face. “Hi Bella,” I say pushing hair out of my face. I’m sure I looked horrible now. Really horrible. Aaron gives me the face like What the hell. While Bella jaw hanged open as she gasped. She didn’t say anything and slowly turned to Aaron.
“You seduced another babysitter?” She asked.
I slap my hands against my forehead, I’m done for. Aaron delivers a reply getting his head back. “What? I didn’t seduce her,” he actually did, with his good manners, flirty annoying self and super hot body. He totally seduced me but hey that’s not the point here. “And she’s not even a babysitter. She’s my girlfriend.”
This time Bella turned to me. “You’re his girlfriend?” I slowly nodded. She shuddered, “that’s a first. What did you see him?”
Aaron gently tugged on her hair while I giggled. “I could list them off but I’ll rather keep quite to save my last dignity.” My eyes opened wide as I realized I said that out loud. Aaron smirked at me shaking his head while Bella laughed before doing a gag face.
“Bells you have to keep Noel being here a secret.” Aaron said. She looked at us both.
“Ok.” She replied with a nod.
“Cross you heart.”
She drew a cross sign on her chest the shaped her fingers as if counting three before kissing the two curved fingers, just like Mexican Catholics did, maybe all Catholics. Aaron sighed in relief believing her. “I’ll leave you two too… sort your clothes out.”
I blushed pulling the Jersey down as Bella made her way out. “Can you please bring breakfast, I mean brunch.” Aaron asked. Bella turned to glare at him.
“Ok, I’ll do it for Noel, my friend and not you. You guys would need it anyway after everything that must have happened.” She said before walking away shutting the door behind her.
“Did she just..”
“I don’t think she meant that.”
“I think she just…”
“Oh shit. My sister’s innocence gone.”
“We didn’t even, argh” I bounced on the bed, pulling the pillows to cover my face. I can’t believe Bella thought we had sex, she’d never see me as the same again. I felt the bed dip a little and Aaron’s presence warped me completely.
“Dolphin seems like you’re upset that we didn’t do it more than the fact that Bella misinterpreted our night together.” Aaron asked amusement evident in his tone.
I looked up glaring at him and I found him fighting back a smile. “You! This is your fault, why did you have to bring us to your house last night?”
He just shrugged, “ask drunk me. But drunk me and somber me likes that you’re here. Likes that we spent the night together. In my arms, on my bed.”
I looked away from him, no longer able to glare. “Didn’t mean it was right.” I muttered to myself.
“Don’t care.” He said placing a kiss on my shoulder, where the big jersey slanted down a little. “I’ll do it over and over again.” He muttered in a tone that sent shivers down my whole body.
I slowly turned to him backing away a little, his eyes had this dark sexy look to it, I couldn’t stop staring at them. “You know, I wanna be mad at you,” He didn’t flinch, didn’t lower his intense gaze at all and I could feel my inside melting. What’s with all the heat? “But I can’t.” He finally smiled. And I did too. “There is something I can do though.”
“What?” He asked and that one word seemed to be everything I was waiting for. The ‘go’ signal.
Soon I was on his lap, our faces attached in what seemed to be our most intense and passionate kiss ever. People and some books say the first kiss is the best but I beg to differ. Yes the first kiss is great, wonderful, fire works and all but I don’t think it’s the best. Then you’re just starting to accept the feelings you feel, broaching over and breaking a wall. The second kiss is different, more confident, more willing to explore and the walls between are not so tall.
The third, fourth, fifth until infinity kisses however are the best. Well for me I think every kiss with Aaron is more perfect, like I have the best but I still haven’t gotten the best. Every kiss is better than the former. I feel like if I stay with Aaron for a hundred and fifty years, the kiss I’m gonna get then would be better than now and that’s like impossible because the one now is the best.
I’m crazy, I know. Even I don’t understand myself but for short. Every intimate moment with Aaron leaves me wanting more and more and more. If this is what it feels like to love someone then I’m ready to fall in love, over and over and over again. But there’s a catch though. It has to be with the same person. Aaron freaking Lee Altamira.
My hands find their way into his hair and he moans into my mouth. Setting my whole system ablaze. He’s hands are running through my body, and its like a war whether to go lower to my butt, seek entrance into my big Jersey, or just stay out. Just when I’m about to tell him its okay to do whatever. A knock is heard on his door. Aaron groans as we break apart. I chuckle getting off his legs and running to the futon where I spotted my pants on. I walked into his walk in closet and wore the pant before walking back out.
Bella was already gone by the time I came out and Aaron had our brunch settled on a small wooden table on the bed. It was pancakes that smelled heavenly with Bacon, eggs and a bowl filled with different fruits. An Orange juice carton with two cups. Aaron and I sat cross legged facing each other with the food between us. We ate in silence throwing smiles at each other and occasionally feeding one another. When we were done Aaron took the plates out himself. Leaving me to the room alone.
I used the opportunity to check around, seeing the cute pictures with him and his sisters, also with Jesse. I smiled a lot and even used my phone to capture some of the images. I went into his bathroom and even it too was large, beautiful and smelled of Aaron. I realized I had not taken my bath and the realization made me nervous blood rushing to my face. Was I going to take a bath in Aaron’s bathroom. Together? Nope, alone. Definitely alone. My heart is not ready for anymore.
Aaron came in after a while with mini muffins, one that he feed to me. I laughed shaking my head. “Where do all the food go mister?”
He laughed, then shrugged, “I’m a growing boy.”
“Well growing boy, I don’t want you fattening me up.” So I feed him the rest of my muffin.
“Your loss.” I was about to bring up the topic about a bath when Bella dropped by again.
“You guys don’t intend on taking a bath together right?”
“Um,” I said turning away to hide my scarlet face. Aaron must have sensed my discomfort.
“None of your business, get out Bella.”
“You can’t shower together so Noel should come with me.”
“I can’t be seen my your household remember?” I asked her.
“That’s taken care off. Come on friend let’s go ” Bella said. I shrugged at Aaron and followed her out but just before I shut the door…
I blew him a kiss goodbye.
