“Good morning, darling.”I stirred from my sleep when I felt a gentle kiss pressed against my forehead and at the same time became aware of the warmth of the morning sun filtering through the windows. Groggily, I opened my eyes. Everything seemed so peaceful and all worries seemed distant.“How’s your sleep?”I slowly pivoted my head to behold Aiden's stunning smile and disheveled hair, his arresting gaze captivating me. His presence stirred something within me that I had not felt before.“I-it’s fine…”I was about to stand up straight, when Aiden rushed over and guided me. He gently embraced me and helped me sit on the bed, before pulling away. That moment is when I realized there was something off; I could not move my legs properly.“J-just hurt a little…” I whispered, looking down at my legs that’s numb.“Sorry.” Aiden breathed in my ear gently, his warm breath sending a wave of comfort through me as he reached out and softly ran the back of his hand along the side of my face.His
I am a bundle of emotions right now; fear, trepidation and excitedness bubble up inside me.It's a strange sensation that has been growing ever since I decided to join with him in the park he’s talking about. It is daunting and exhilarating at the same time, I can feel both in equal measure. There is no question that this will be difficult, but there is also an undeniable thrill as well.Though I'm doing my best to conceal my excitement for our upcoming outing, it's difficult to make sure that he does not notice. It almost feels embarrassing on my part, as I don't want him to think that I'm too eager or desperate. But at the same time, there's this unexplained anticipation bubbling inside me, an emotion so strong and irresistible. The thought of being with him brings out the joy within me and compels me to smile even when I try not to show it.“Hey, darling.”I jolted when his presence hit me suddenly like a wave, and I realized he was right here behind me. I had been so lost in my ow
Aiden's gaze lingered on my face for what felt like forever before his head gave a slight shake and a nod.His expression conveyed hesitation, but also understanding at the same time.“Where do you want to go?” he asked, his hands inside his pockets and a skeptical expression on his face. His gaze bore deep into mine, as if searching for an answer to the question.I stood there for what felt like an eternity, feeling uneasy yet unable to look away from his persistent stare. Finally he broke the eye contact, leaving me with a lingering sense of trepidation. With my mind racing from the intensity of our exchange all I could do was look around to find a place I wanted to go.“What’s that?” I inquired lightly, nudging my head towards a spot where a number of children were standing and laughing. They seemed to be deeply immersed in some kind of fabric that shapes like a cloud.“Cotton candy stall.”I gave him a quizzical look, tilting my head at an angle as if to prompt him to explain. Aid
I was speechless as I watched Aiden paddle through the water with ease, the light from the sun reflecting off of his ripples.I couldn't take my eyes off him; it was impossible not to admire Aiden as he rode on the swan boat and paddled. It almost felt like it wasn't in his very being to be there, yet he was doing it. I watched him carefully, taking in every move he made with the paddle and observed how his gaze changed from tranquil to determined with each stroke of the paddle. He appeared unconcerned by what might’ve been going through other people’s minds.“I-i’m sorry.”It’s like it's my fault for bringing him here even though it goes against his wishes. His gaze lingered on me after I uttered those words, and I could feel the weight of his judgement as he considered what I had said.“Why?” he asked.“B-because it seems like you don’t want to do this but you were forced because of me.” I whispered and I hope he heard it.Aiden was completely silent, not uttering a single syllable.
Aiden went faster and harder until there’s a little noise that sounds like clapping. I felt the sweat on my palms as they held onto his arm, my grip becoming tighter and tighter with each passing second. I bit down hard onto my bottom lip, hoping it would be enough to make him cease this activity. It felt like an torture - I could barely move or think straight in this unbearable heat. But still he continued, not listening to a single word of protest.I whimpered again and, despite the darkness ahead of me, I could make out a hint of light coming from somewhere in front of me.“A-aiden…stop-”“I won’t. You’re enjoying it, darling.”He whispered sexily in my ear, the sound of his voice igniting a fire in me. I could feel my stomach fluttering and becoming increasingly tighter with anticipation. I continued to move my hips, swaying in sync with his finger until the intense pleasure became too much and I finally let go. An incredible wave of pure bliss washed over me; the sensation was in
“What are you looking at?”I felt my chest tighten and my body become tense as Aiden's voice broke through the silence. I took a few moments to compose myself, blinking multiple times before finally looking back at him. His gaze was strong, demanding an answer but I couldn't seem to find any words.His brows furrowed into a deep, intense line as he stared at me. He was just about to turn his head around when I suddenly grabbed his hand and made him look at me.For some unknown reason, I feel a sense of dread at the thought of him finding out that Adam is here. I know that if and when he discovers this, his good mood will likely be shattered. It's not a feeling I can explain or even fully understand myself, but it's there. The thought of his face contorting in anger or disappointment makes me uneasy; this worry has been plaguing me since Adam arrived.And I don’t want that to happen.“What are you doing?”And now he stares at me with an incredulous expression, as if I'm some kind of a
“Alicia!”Adam quickly waved his hand, beckoning his girlfriend to notice him. We noticed her looking our way, wearing her trademark smile before she came towards us with her signature stride. She was a beauty and a force to be reckoned with, that much was easy to tell at first sight. With each step she took closer to us, I started taking in all the details of her features and figured out why exactly it was that Adam seemed so enamored by this girl.When I saw her, I couldn't help but feel inferior. She was tall, had an air of elegance, and brimmed with a confidence that I could never possess. Seeing her only reinforced my feelings of self-doubt and made me question why I was ever even in the same room as her. Her presence alone seemed to diminish my own worth, making it hard for me to stand out next to her beauty and strength.“Hi!”She moved her arm gracefully, each finger perfectly in sync with the others. I couldn't help but stare for a moment before I shook myself out of my daze,
At the end of the day, I have to make a choice, despite wanting to avoid it.“Isn’t this a lovely place?”Adam was doing his best to sell the idea of this double date to the rest of us.But judging from the reactions of Aiden and Alicia, it is clear that they are not too keen on this idea. Aiden's face has become blank and unreadable, his mouth downturned in disappointment; Alicia's eyes keep darting to me before she looks away, her lips turning downwards in a frown. I can only imagine what they think of this suggestion.I glanced at Adam then smiled at him.“Yes, it is lovely, Adam.”He looks at me and all I can sense is an uncomfortable energy in the air, as if a cloud of uneasiness is hovering around us. On the outside, we're just regular buddies but underneath it all there's something more, something I can't quite put into words. It's this heavy silence between us that makes me feel uneasy and unsure of myself. Yet despite my inner turmoil, he give off an appearance that everythin
