ELLIE“Who could be at the door?” Aiden asked as he was soon about to get up from the bed and slip into his clothes which had been all over my room. He seemed quite angry from the interruptions that had hampered our time together. “Are you going to get yourself so worked up over some unexpected visitor…?” I asked as I walked up to him and kissed him one more time before we headed back down to the door. “By the time we're done with the visitors, then we can get back to our action…”“Sure…” Aiden said as he kissed me while grabbing my ass hungrily. “So, who's going to get the door? I don't want anyone suspecting that we are up to anything.”“Right…” I said as I wondered if I would head down and get the door. The sound of the doorbell had my mind going many places at once and it made me feel even more tense as I suspected that it could have been someone I knew who had come to check on me. “Alright… I'll go. You pretend to be sick and I would pretend like I was playing ball.” Aiden qui
AIDENThere were just so many words I could say in that moment, but I held my tongue as I was watching the scene that was going on between Ellie and Jasmine who seemed like she couldn't get enough of her friend's company. I was almost tearing up at the emotions from the moment. I would have teared up, but I was Aiden Castro. There was no way I could be caught doing that. I watched, holding that ball impatiently in my hand and hoping that it would finish sooner than it was taking. As they went on and on about everything, I noticed that Kai was stepping out of there with a neutral look on his face. I had been following the conversation that had been going on between the two of them that made me feel like stepping in there and telling them to beat it so I could return to my even more serious session with Ellie which their impromptu visit had caused. Soon enough, Kai turned around, heading in my direction. There were just too many things that had me feeling like I was about to get to
ELLIEI hated that I was having that moment right in front of everyone which included Kai. I just didn't want to be seen in such a state and that made me feel quite awkward. But then, my rage just couldn't be contained at that point. How could Aiden have done all of that to me?The message that Dylan had left me was still playing back in my head with each passing moment and that left me regretting why I hadn't picked up the phone back then. I had been too heartbroken from everything that had happened back then, and that made me feel even worse for letting my emotions take control of me and causing me to take the irrational decision I had taken back then. It was all a loss that I couldn't make up for with any other thing. The look on Aiden's face had me even more infuriated by all that he had done. It was hard not to hate him at that point. Jasmine was quiet as she took her phone back into her purse which she slung onto her shoulder by its strap. The silence of the moment was absurd
KAIThe walk to the car was quiet. It almost felt like we had been the two people who were quarreling. There were just too many things that had me feeling like heading back there and seeing what was going to become of the argument that was going on between the both of them. Jasmine seemed sad and I suspected that it was either sympathy or just the fact that she was feeling bad that she had caused the two so-called siblings to be at odds with each other. I couldn't care less about which one it was, as I was still trying to wrap my mind around what could have been in that phone that had Ellie breaking down instantly. I wanted to know that more than anything and that made me feel like I was about to get my hands on something that was going to make me change my perspective of Aiden and Ellie. For some reason, I felt it was bound to be something that would prove that I had been right about both of them. I was soon trying to get my hands on everything at that point. It was hard for me to
ELLIEThere were no words to describe what I was feeling as I found myself waking up to Aiden beside me all over again. Each time I wanted to get mad at him for all he had done, I would suddenly get humbled by the sight of his face which looked so innocent while he slept. I couldn't help but feel like a captive most of the time as I just couldn't break away from him. Each time the thought of it came, it would just wear off as I was trying not to think of how lonely my life was going to be without him. The morning had just come into the sky and was slowly pushing the darkness of the night away. It felt like the ideal time to do whatever we wanted to do. There were just so many things that had me feeling like I was about to enter the weirdest times of my teenage years which turned out to be the happiest as well. "You're mine, Ellie..." Those words Aiden had said to me back then were yet to leave my mind even at that point. He had kept on saying that all through the steamy sessions we
AIDENI went to my room feeling a lot like shit as I had just been asked the most absurd question ever. But then, she had every right to ask me that question. It was hard to understand what I could do at that point. It felt like I had done something that couldn't be revoked. "Fuck…" I was simply livid with myself and I just couldn't contain it in any way as I slammed the door hard after entering my room. I had to admit that I had been an actual asshole for having threatened all of those guys who had been interested in Ellie from Kai to Dylan. It had been hard pulling off all of those threats, but went ahead and did anything at all, as long as it ensured that it would keep them away from Ellie at all costs. Troy had been the easiest to dissuade from the pursuit of Ellie which had everyone tripping head over heels. It has been the easiest as all I had to do was to get hold of one of his nasty sex tapes of him and his teammates. I had threatened to release the sex tape that would eas
ELLIE"What are you saying, Aiden?" I was trying my very best to understand what exactly I was getting myself into as Aiden's words were beginning to get me scared at that point. "You know you're scaring me with all of this right?"But Aiden said nothing else to me as he was trying to get himself up and out of the car. He was a bit sluggish and hesitant in his actions and that made it almost impossible for me not to be worried at that point. "Aiden…" I wasn't sure I would be able to leave the car if he wasn't going to explain to me what exactly he had meant by all of that. "What did you mean by whatever they would say to me?""I'm sure you will understand when the time finally comes." He said as he paused briefly at that point before turning to me. "I think you should get going now."I was almost thrown off by all of that as I was simply trying my best not to let any of that get to me. I just wanted to imagine that he was still having a bad morning since I had asked him earlier when
AIDEN"Are you sure you shot a single shot in your absent days…?" That question from one of my teammates had me thinking of what I could do at that point to show them that I hadn't spent the past two days sexing my step-sister's brains out like there was nothing else to do. That had been almost the same physical exertion as a workout, and that had me a bit tired and sluggish on the court. To make it all even worse, I almost couldn't focus for a single second without having my mind drift off to Ellie and what I had just done to her and her public imagery. I felt like a really bad person who was worthy of every single punishment possible. "I'm a terrible person…" I heard that thought echoing in my head as I brought the ball up the court. I was absent-minded and that led to an easy steal that led to a basket by the time I was back in the moment. It was hard for me to understand what I needed at that point as it was all beginning to get too overwhelming for me to bear. "You're going to
ELLIE "Kai, what do you mean you're here to take me out?" I asked, trying to hide the confusion and surprise in my voice. I could feel my heart beating faster, not because of excitement, but because I knew this visit wasn't going to end well. "I'm serious, Ellie. I mean every word I said, I want to take you out," Kai replied, his smile widening, reaching his eyes. "I wanted to spend some time with you. Just the two of us. Away from everyone else." I crossed my arms, trying to appear nonchalant. I didn't know what to say or do. As Kai spoke, my eyes didn't leave the door, as I was afraid Aiden might walk through it. I hated these kinds of visits. "Kai, this is unexpected. You should've called first." I swallowed. "I'm sorry for that, I know," the blue-eyed guy apologized, covering the space between us, "But I needed to see you. In person. And to be honest, I didn't want to give you a chance to say no over the phone." I sighed, glancing around the room as though searching for an
AIDEN It felt like my heart was going to be right out of my chest as I was seeing my tears happening right before my eyes. The phone in my hand grew shaky even though I was still filming the scenery of my mother's betrayal of Ellie's father who had probably trusted her enough to leave her all that time to go handle business somewhere else. Regardless of what I felt while watching my mother kissing another man who fortunately wasn't the cocky Dylan who had tried to have a go at Ellie. But it was still as painful as the betrayal that it was. I didn't know what it was that had me feeling just as hurt as the one who was being cheated on. There just weren't any words for the pain in my heart. With total disregard for repercussions and consequences, I drove the car right to where the car which my mother had been parked. I was speeding like I wanted to hit it from behind. There were just too many things that made me feel like I was about to create the biggest scene ever. The tires
AIDEN There was nothing cinematic about the moment as Ellie had remarked over the phone. The pressure of the moment was simply palpable on me as it was all feeling like I was going to get caught or I was going to catch my mother doing something that wouldn't leave my head in a while. For the past couple of moments, I had been following her from behind from the safest distance possible. There had been a few times when I had been close to losing them in the Manhattan traffic, but I managed to stay on track somehow and that had been something to be proud of as I was simply too good at that. Every single moment had me recalling back when I had been following Ellie and Troy. The heat of my jealousy back then had simply been over the limits and that had me feeling like I had been some hopeless stalker, not knowing that ability would come in handy in an even more important predicament. “Please don't be Dylan…” I had lost count of how many times I had muttered those words to myself and
ELLIE "I just hit the road now, and I'm hot on her tracks as we speak," Aiden said through the phone as though he was in the middle of a theft where he was being pursued by a troop of cop cars. "The target vehicle is in view as we speak." "You are sounding like some secret agent right now…" I teased from my end of the line even though the situation was quite a serious one which would tell him all he needed to know about his mother's deeds. "You can say that again. I'm giving her as much space as I can. I just want to see where this car goes from here." "Are you sure this would work?" I asked, still wondering if it was worth it after he had seen some other women like her. I felt like he would be going on a wild goose chase if he would insist on following her to where she was going. "What if you get caught?" "Ellie I followed you to Troy's house one time and you didn't…" Aiden took hold of himself at once as he just realized that he had given himself away with that misplaced stat
AIDENA new day had come and I wasn't sure of the plan that I had in mind as I was soon trying to get myself ready to face my mother who had been the reason for my fallen mood. It was quite annoying and embarrassing that my suspicions were looking to be true at that point, even after all the drama she had used in trying to get away the last time. As I walked down the stairs, to head for the court at the back, I had my eyes open and ready for any signs of my mother. I could almost tell how it would all end if I dared to confront her upfront. There was simply no means of telling that she had been on the phone with some guy named Dylan to whom she had confessed love. That would lead me to defeat all over again. I would possibly have to apologize when she was the one who was at fault. That was one of the worst predicaments for me. "Be smart…" I said to myself as I was simply trying my best to keep it all cool and calm as I had the ball in my hands ready to take out all of the mixed fe
KAIThey were up to something. I just knew it but I just couldn't prove it. That was the main source of my frustration as I held that ball in my hands while I was still trying my best not to take my focus off the ball and the hoop which was the only thing that I could control at that point..But it was hard not to think of Aiden having a good time with Ellie. There were just too many things on my mind as I was trying not to think of anything that had to do with Aiden and that one girl that wouldn't leave my mind. "Ugh…" it was all feeling like I was stuck in some sort of cycle that just wouldn't end. The cycle always began with the sight of Aiden and his so-called sister whom he claimed not to be screwing. After seeing them, the thoughts would just stick in my head and I would need basketball to get it off my head.I sank the shot, but I still wasn't feeling the satisfaction that I used to get from the sport before it became a means for me to get my mind off Ellie. The only thing tha
AIDEN"I think your mother is seeing someone else…" Ellie said with such a sad look on her face.At first, I had been relieved that it hadn't been the news of my scuffle with Gina. But then, I was even more troubled by the fact that a suspicion that I had allowed to fallow when it had caused a lot of trouble the first time, was now popping up from a source that wasn't me. That aroused all my suspicions which had been buried beneath the layers of my conscience. I had swallowed them up the leg time because of my mother who had been hurt by it. But it was all popping out again. There were a lot of things that had me feeling like I was getting to the bottom of the whole thing that had taken place in that awkward weekend which had happened in almost a blur.The memory of the texts was coming back to my head. The words and the emotions that seemed to have been behind them when they had been sent. There was no way that moment couldn't stay etched in my mind which seemed to be susceptible to
AIDENThere was a rush in my very being as I was trying to make sure that I could get to Ellie before the news of me and Gina would get to her. It felt like my rush would all end up being in vain as I was trying not to let it all get to me. At that point, I was beginning to rehearse the words I would use in explaining myself, just in case it turned out that I hadn't been quick enough. I was almost pulling over like I had robbed a bank. I just hoped I wouldn't be asked too many questions about that as all of that was beginning to make me lose my cool. I was willing to do anything to make that save happen.There wasn't any time to look back as I got out of the car and made my way to the front door which I opened with my key, as I felt like knocking would only go on to waste the little time I had even more."What's all this about?" Mother asked as she was thinking of what could have been making me run like there was some fire I was trying to put out somewhere. "What's gotten into you?"
SANDRA"How dare she?" I muttered to myself as I realized that she had hung up on me yet again as she was making a show of her youthful arrogance. Everything about her seemed to remind me of her father, and it was simply annoying that all I could do was stay behind those bars all day and all night while complaining about how miserable being in there had been for me. The thoughts of her father brought me pain, shame, and regret, and that was exactly what came to mind each time I thought of Ellie. That had been why I had gotten so ticked off when she pointed out that I always took it out on her. It was hard for me to think straight at that point.Right there at that moment, I was feeling the pain that came with all of the memories which I had been suppressing all that time. It felt like the canister that had been holding it all together had been popped open by the way that my daughter had spoken to me. I just couldn't wait to get out of there and come teach her a lesson. Ellie had gro
