Aubrey POV

"Ummm, I thought you said..." I say trailing off watching as Ian pulls the sheets over himself and propping himself up.

He turns to look at me and says "We're not in the guest room angel. This is my room". He flashes me a cheeky smirk and I feel my mouth drop open.

Is this moving to fast? My mind overthinks every possibility that this is too fast that I don't realise that I mutter "Fast."

"Fast?" Ian questions, with an amused expression on his face and he inches closer.

I turn to face him fully and say quietly "Is this umm you know... too fast?"

His amused expression disappears and he looks at me softly. "Baby we get to make the rules, but we will only do what is comfortable for you." He caresses my cheek and looks deeply into my eyes and I feel all my worries dissipate with his tender expression

"Thank you" I mumble completely entranced by Ian's eye contact. "Well uh goodnight" I say shyly and move to lie down, facing away from Ian. 

I get no response so I start to pull the covers over me more when suddenly I am pulled into a hard chest. "Ummm" I say quietly confused, as Ian wraps one arm around my waist hugging me and the other he moves underneath our pillows. 

He mumbles a "Goodnight angel" as he snuggles his head into my hair. I tense feeling very vulnerable in the close contact, but Ian notices this and wordlessly rubs his hand up and down my arm to calm me and it works. I start to revel in his contact and succumb to the warmth and excitement it brings me. 

Ian POV

Holding her in my arms, her intoxicating scent melding with my nose making me feel like the happiest man in the world.

I love her.

Fuck. I fucking love her.

I think I have loved her since I first laid eyes on her. She acted as the hammer to shatter the walls around my heart. Getting to know her she has me more trapped in her, I'm the fly stuck in her honey. And I'm the happiest I have ever been. 

Months ago I would have cringed at the thought of something I deemed so pathetic. But she makes me stronger. She makes me smile, when I feel like I am drowning she acts as my buoy. Fuck that sounds pathetic. I guess I am pathetic for her. She has me wrapped around her finger and I don't think she even realises it. 

I hear her soft snores as I run my hands up and down her arm to calm her. I chuckle lightly thinking how she is so fucking cute being so shy. Shit, I can't stop thinking about her. 

I love Aubrey fucking Carter, and the thought makes me fall asleep with a smile on my face.

I wake up to soft fingers touching my nose and light giggles from the girl in my arms. I open my eyes slowly to see my angel. I have her still wrapped in the bear hug from last night, but she has managed to turn herself around so she faces me. Her eyes widen when she sees I'm awake and she tries to contain her giggles as she removes her hand from my nose.

I smile groggily and as she removes her hand I nibble her finger causing a little squeak from Aubrey. I laugh and she giggles back.

"Good morning angel" I say in my morning voice.

She giggles and then says "Morning" giving me her cutest smile. I lean forward and press my lips to hers, I feel her tense in my arms but then she soon relaxes and kisses back. She brings her hands to tug my hair and I can't help by moan causing her to giggle against my lips. I chuckle deeply in response and deepen the kiss. She pulls away to my dismay and I let her, and see her cheeks pink.

She starts squirming in my tight hold which makes me growl. "Nooo" I whine and tighten my grip on her causing her to smoosh her face against my bare chest. 

"Let me gooo" she whines playfully back.

"No" I say assertively.

There is a pause and I think I have won until I feel her teeth against my chest. "What are you-OW" I say as she bites me on the chest.

I still hold my grip but she looks up at me giggling, her giggling stops and she says "I need to pee"

"You could have just said that" I chuckle still not loosening my grip.

"I neeeeddd to peeee" she says again whining adorably when I don't respond because I am too busy looking into her adorable eyes she says "Or I'll bite you again" trying to be intimidating. 

I chuckle deeply and she pouts. I slowly let go of her and she sits up and scoots off the bed. She waddles over to the bathroom and I sit up seeing no point resting without my angel. 

Thinking girls taking forever in the bathroom I decide to get changed. I go into my closet and pull out some black jeans I'm pulling them over my boxers when Aubrey comes out of the bathroom saying "What time is it silver?"

"I don't know" I say and walk back into my closet picking out a black shirt. 

"Wow thanks for the help" she says and I can feel her rolling her eyes causing me to chuckle.

As I am pulling the black shirt over my head Aubrey scoffs "Noooooooo, don't wear that black shirt"

I rip the shirt off my head and then turn to look at Aubrey "Why?" I mutter confused whilst inspecting it. Is there stain?

"Black jeans with a black top? And let me guess you are going to wear your leather jacket too" she says rolling her eyes.

I look at her with widened eyes "Um I-" and stutter confused.

"Can I pick a shirt for you?" she says excitedly and her face lighting up.

I pause trying to find the right words but before I can respond she has already pushed passed me and is inspecting the clothes in my closet.

"Uhh sure I guess go right ahead" I say sarcastically.

After a few minutes she turns around and with a white collared shirt and navy sweater in her arms. 

I look at the clothes then at her confused. She pushes them to my chest forcing me to take them and then says "Change!"

I shake my head at how I am letting her boss me around but then proceed to put on the white button up. Apparently I am taking too long to up the button as Aubrey huffs and starts doing the buttons for me. I chuckle seeing her be so cute, and obviously not a morning person. Feeling her fingers trace lightly up my abdomen I have to try and contain myself. 

"Ok now the sweater" she says.

I pull the sweater over my head and once it's on I look down at her. "Happy?" I question.

"Hmmm wait" she says then reaching her hands up to adjust the collar. She can barely reach so I lean down a little and she pulls out the collar, I could very easily do this myself but feeling her touch graze my skin sends electricity coursing through me and I think she feels the same judging by the blush gracing her cheeks. She smiles and nods to indicate when she is done so I straighten then turn to look at myself in the mirror.

"I just look like a bigger version of you." I say

"What?" she huffs and positioning herself next to me in the mirror.

"I'm literally wearing what you wore to school yesterday." I say chuckling and looking at her in the mirror.

[what aubrey made ian wear]

[what aubrey wore yesterday]

She slaps her hands across her mouth and tries to stop herself from laughing.

I turn around to face her and walk closer to her whilst also chuckling myself. "Hehehe we can be matching at school one day" she says looking up at me with a goofy grin while I place my hands on her waist.

"You know it really isn't my style angel" I sigh looking into her big brown eyes.

"You look hot though, kinda like emo soft boy vibes" she says smiling. "But you don't have to wear it if you don't want" she says turning away from my eye contact.

"No no, I'll wear it. It's growing on me" I lie, but it's worth it as she flashes me an award winning smile.

"Heh I know you're lying, but I'll take it!" she says poking me in the chest. 

"It suits you better" I say and she smiles warmly at me. "So what time is it?" I ask my angel.

"I dunno" she says shrugging her shoulders, we then make eye contact and burst out laughing. I pull away from her and find my phone

"It's 10:30am" I say and then look up to see her paled face.

"Oh no no no no no!" she says pacing around the room and collecting her stuff.

"What is it angel?" I say growing worried and following her around the room as she paces.

She suddenly stops and I walk into the back of her causing me to groan slightly. "I have an 11am shift at the bookstore!" she squeaks and then returns to pacing anxiously.

"Baby don't worry there is plenty of time!" I say watching her pace, a smile plastering my face at how adorable she is being.

"Ahhhhh" she says waving me off and picking up her socks off the floor. "I don't have fresh clothes, or deodorant, or... I don't know I just don't have things!" she says flustered and I have to try stifle my laugh. 

"Ok ok baby" I say trying to get her attention. "Baby" I say again and she looks at me briefly before then looking at her phone flustered again. "Baby!" I say more assertively and she looks up at me. "We will quickly stop by at your house and you can get changed then I'll drop you at work. Ok."

"I'm being such a bother to you!" she whines and then plops onto the bed.

"Shut up." I say rolling my eyes and walking over to her sitting slumped on the bed. "Now come on, we have to do this in record time!" 

She looks at me with determination and gets up with my help. "What about breakfast?" she says quietly.

"Evelyn's probably made something we can just eat in the car ok baby?" I say getting the sense that Aubrey is hungry. I bring my hand to her lower back and guide her out of my room and down the stairs.

I give her the keys to my car and tell her to wait for me while I pick up breakfast from the kitchen.

About 10 minutes later I see an anxious Aubrey in the car bobbing her knee up and down. When I open the car door to get in she snaps her head in my direction.

I hand her the bacon and egg rolls Evelyn made and immediately see her smile. "Omg yessss!" she squeals and takes a huge bite of one moaning slightly. Jesus I don't think Aubrey realises what she is doing to me I think adjusting my pants.

After going to her house and her getting changed we arrive at the bookstore at exactly 10:59am.

Aubrey pants like we have just run a marathon and says "Phew we made it!" I am taken by surprise when she wraps her arms around me in a hug and mumbles "Thank you" and I quickly reciprocate it soaking her in. 

"Ok angel I will come pick you up after your shift ok?" I say as she pulls away but I still grip onto on her shoulders.

"Thank you Ian... oh wait do you think you can bring the motorcycle" she mutters. 

"You want to-" I begin to ask with the corners of my mouth turning up.

"Oh yes yes yes please!" she says with her face lighting up with excitement. 

"Of course" I say and lean down to kiss her on the forehead. "Bye then angel" I say 

"Bye!" she says waving as I walk away and she walks into the bookstore.

Aubrey POV

With only 20minutes left in my shift, a little bell indicates a customer as entered. I turn my curious eyes to see Riley walking into the store. She looks around and then she snaps her gaze to me as I put books on the bookshelf.

I offer her a shy smile and wave slightly. She shakes her head and chuckles at me while she closes the distance between us.

"Hey" I say, stopping stacking books and turning to face her.

"Hey" she responds.

"So how can I help you today?" I ask in my work voice.

She rolls her eyes with an amused smirk on her face. She looks at me then looks down to my lips and before I know it her lips are crashed against mine and she says during the kiss "You can kiss me"
