Chapter 6 – Attraction

Sophia Celastio

I looked at myself at the mirror, thinking if I should go or not. I was already dressed in my halter black dress with a little cut at the back. There’s a zip line from my middle spine down to my butt.

Rose insisted me to wear this to Blake’s party, I didn’t agree with her at first but she forced me to. I couldn’t say no to her, she made me buy it. I sighed looking at the mirror.

Should I go or not? If I go, I’ll be entering the lion’s den soon. If I don’t go, Jean will be upset. She’s so nice and I can’t say no to her either. She wanted me to go and she promised me to introduce her bestfriend.

My phone rang and that made me go back to reality. I quickly looked for my phone and it was an unknown number. I raised my eyebrows trying to guess who it is but ended up picking up the call.

“Hello.”

“My love.” After hearing that voice, I ended the call quick. I stared at my phone in horror and I quickly called Rose.

“Rose!”

“Sophia! I’m sorry. Aaron will pick you up because I was kidnapped by a bastard.”

“What? Where are you? I need to call the-“

“It’s just Max.” She said with a really pissed tone.

“I don’t want to go, Rose. I don’t want to see Aaron.” I sighed loudly completely not wanting this. I had a feeling that this night will not end good.

“Jean will be upset, Soph.”

“I know but I don’t wa-“ Suddenly someone knocked on my door and I walked towards it.

“Just come, I’ll guard you.” My eyes widen when I saw who’s standing in front of my door.

“You ignored my calls, love.” Aaron said as he showed his phone and then he looked at me from head to toe.

“Shoot.” I almost cursed.

“Hello? Hello?” Aaron took my phone when Rose called.

“Hello Hastington, Did Cesantio get you already?” Aaron said smiling widely, he chuckled later on. I bet Rose said something to him.

“As much as I love hearing you, I need to go.” He hung up and my mouth fell.

“You look breathtaking.” He said as he walked closer to me. I took a step backwards when he took a step forward. His eyes stuck on me as he put his hands into his pocket.

“What- what are you- you doing?” Why am I suttering? My back kissed the wall and Aaron closed the gap between us. He put his arms on my shoulder and slowly trailed down to my arms. It gave me chills. He smirked in victory looking at me.

“Nervous?” He whispered while staring at me with his green orbs. I wanted to answer him but nothing come out from my mouth.

I can’t be weak like this, I have to win this game.

I put my hands on his chest and trailed down slowly. I could feel his toned chest and abs under his shirt. He breath got hitch and he looked at me with his dangerous eyes.

“Nervous?” I guess it’s backfired. I winked at  him and his eyes darkened as I put my arms around his neck pulling him close.

He’s like a magnet, the attraction was just too much. We knew we’re attracted to each other by our actions. I hate to admit this but I love every single thing related to Aaron. I know and I kept avoiding him because the attraction was just too much.

I pulled his face to mine and stared into his beautiful green robs that can pull anyone who look at it. Our noses touched and I could feel him pulling me closer and I sneaked his arms around my waist. He secured me in his arms.

“Why so tense, Mr. Samuel?” I teased him.

“1..”

“Do I make you nervous?” I smirked teasing him more.

“2..”

“Let’s go.” I kissed the side of his lips teasing him. I pushed him off me and I heard he cursed under his breath. I took my clutch and walked out from the room. I heard Aaron walked behind me. I smirked and pressed the lift button.

“You’re a tease huh?” He asked in a really dangerous tone.

“I am.” We walked inside the lift and I pressed L.

Suddenly the tension between us started to get more intense, I bet he was feeling the same. I need to hold it or else I’ll lose control. I knew if I lost control, I won’t be able to stop.

It’s my first time feeling this strong attraction. I mean I like it but why it has to be one of the seven bastards in America?

I don’t like having a ‘fun’ relationship where we don’t have a future goals for our relationship. I don’t do flings or have fun kind of relationship. I hate that, I hate having my heart getting crush by someone that I trust to protect my heart. I don’t want that.

I aimed for a serious one, I don’t want to be a naughty girl who just be with one person and another. I don’t want to be a girl who just want to sleep around. I don’t want that. I want someone who cherish me, who loves me not because my body only but all of my flaws too.

I know in the end, I will get hurt.. if I’m with Aaron. I hate him because the attraction was too much. I need to push him away before it become more dangerous for me and him.

I can’t lose the battle to him. I need to make him leave me and be disgusted with me.

“Do you want to go somewhere or we can makeout here?” Aaron’s voice got me back to reality.

“Dream on.” I said as I walked out from the lift. He lead me outside the lobby where his dark blue Bugatti Chiron’s at. My eyes widen when I saw the car, it’s beautiful.

“Say hi to Betsy.” He said as he stood beside me.

“You named your car?” I looked at him ridiculously. I laughed out loud hearing it.

“Her name is Betsy.” He opened the passenger door and gestured me to get inside. I got in and still can’t stop laughing. I looked the inside part and it was beautiful.

Aaron got in and chuckled seeing me admiring the car. He started the car and suddenly stepped on the gas making me jump a little. I put on my seatbelt and then he started to speed up.

“Aaron!” I hissed.

“Yes beautiful?”

“Slow down, you asshole!” I shouted at him and he let out a small laugh. He didn’t slow down at all. I decided to close my eyes to pray about my life. God forgive me about everything that I did in the past..

“We’re here. You can open your eyes now.” I opened my eyes slowly and yeah we arrived. He parked his car quickly and got out. I got out from his car, I glared at Aaron wanting to kill him this instant.

He’s waiting for me near the entrance door and held he door for me.

“Can I get a reward?” He asked and I looked at him weirdly.

“What reward?”

“a kiss will do.” He smirked and I looked at him in disgust.

“You won-“ He cut me off by crashing his lips to mine.

I hate him!
