most intriguing piece lined the wall of the staircase leading to
his balcony bedroom.
With no dining table or chairs, we ate
on the couch, catching up on each other’s lives. After laughing about a story
he told, things got physical. Starting with a tender kiss to my mouth, his
ministrations soon turned urgent. Leaving a trail of clothing ripped from our
bodies, we barely made it to his bed.
When I woke up next to Demetri and saw
the first rays of light fill his room, I headed to his bathroom. After
showering, I put on my clothes from the night before, grabbed my things from his
room, kissed his cheek and left his apartment. This was the routine. We had a
good time together and that was all there was to it. Demetri wanted a
relationship with me at one time but soon realized we were best this way;
friends with occasional benefits.
On the walk to the nearest bus stop, I
grabbed a coffee and a bagel. Nibbling on my bagel, I waited for the bus to
arrive. I couldn’t help but think about the prior night and smile. It was a
much welcomed evening. Sighing, I took a sip of coffee. Lost in my thoughts, I
didn’t see the strangely familiar silver car pull up.
"Get in!"
My eyes widened at the sight of Aidan’s
car stopped in front of me.
"No!" I shouted back.
"Stay away from me!" I growled, crossing my arms and leaning back
onto the bench.
"I’m not leaving until you get in
the car," he argued.
"Fine!" I stood. He smirked. Idiot! I threw my coffee and bagel bag into the garbage next to the bench and walked
down the sidewalk, away from the bus stop and away from Aidan.
Chapter Eight
Stalker
Aidan
I didn’t know what I expected to happen.
She would probably think me a crazy stalker but, still, I sat outside of the
club waiting for her to emerge. I needed to apologize again for the way I’ve
been acting. With the desperation of this awkward situation, I thought we could
help each other out.
Lost in my own thoughts, I didn’t even see
her walk out of the club until a sleek black car pulled up. She climbed in. Who
the hell is that? Before I knew it, I was following the car.
Stalker.
The car stopped in front of a diner and
a tall, dark haired guy hurried into the diner. When he emerged, he had a few
white paper bags. Once he was in, they sped off until I was in front of a large
apartment building, watching them walk in together.
I had never heard anything about a
boyfriend. Was she seeing someone? Was she even more upset with me because I
had assumed that she wasn’t with anyone? Shit.
Eventually, I dozed off, waking with a
cramp in my neck and stiff back. Barely daylight, I assumed she was asleep with
this guy or had left, so I started home.
Two minutes into my drive, I caught a glimpse
of her sitting on a bus stop bench eating and steam rising from her cup. With
her eyes closed, she didn't notice me pulling up to the curb until I rolled
down the window and ordered her in.
Her eyes widened and her face reddened.
She was pissed. "No!" she shouted. "Stay away from me!"
"I’m not leaving until you get in
the car."
"Fine!" I gave a victory smirk
as she stood up but when I didn’t hear the door open I looked over and saw her
back as she retreated from the bus stop down the sidewalk.
I quickly found a place to park and got
out of my car.
"Lilli, wait!" I caught up and
stood in front of her.
"What, Aidan? What?" she
crossed her arms over her chest and narrowed her eyes.
"I’m sorry. Lilli, I never meant to
imply that you were for sale or a whore. I know you aren’t, honestly, I didn’t
mean that in any way. It came out wrong when I was talking with you."
She furrowed her brow but didn’t say
anything.
Before I could stop myself I blurted,
"Are you dating someone?"
"Am I...?" She paused. Her
faced filled with hate. "Did you follow me?"
I didn’t answer.
"You did! Oh. My. God. You followed
me!" She moved to walk around me and I grabbed her arm quickly.
"Let go!" Her hand connected
with my face. I
