AIDEN POV:

We finally get to the party and it was already in full swing, well as full swing as it could be with no alcohol. Music played loudly while people grinded against one another on the sand. There were people making out and people swimming, there were even a few people playing chicken but I doubted that was on the cards for tonight for us after last night.

There were already people staring at Em so I skillfully catch up to Toby who was in front of the girls, blocking her front from the many prying eyes. Luckily for me, James and Tiffanny were grinding on the dance floor meaning that James had maybe given up on Em, one could only hope.

Alex, Liam, Cooper, and Amy catch up to us. Amy looked as good as ever in her brightly colored outfits and as always, Liam trails behind her, trying to block as much of her as he could from all the looks she was receiving.

"Let's dance," Amy grins excitedly, grabbing on to Em and Charlie's wrists and dragging them to the dance floor. Charlie looks as confident as ever on the dance floor, her confidence matching Amy's whilst Em looks extremely carefree, moving her hips in all the right ways. A few times, guys approach the girls, obviously wanting to grind with them but Amy forces them all away. Thank fuck for her, I'd have to compliment her bright makeup later as a thank you.

"Seriously man, all your staring is getting a bit creepy," Toby smirks from beside me, getting the attention from all the boys. Carter and Blake don't look the least bit surprised as they already knew but Liam, Alex, and Cooper all look a little shocked, maybe even impressed.

"Dude, are you crushing on Emily?" Alex asks, astonishment lacing his words.

"Have you really not noticed?" Carter smiles.

"Yeah bro, he's fucking whipped," Blake chimes in, Toby laughs loudly and the others all chuckle.

"Fuck off," I roll my eyes at all of them.

"Never thought I'd see the day where the Aiden settled down," Liam shrugs.

"Fuckin oath, I thought you guys were just fucking," Cooper adds.

"They haven't even kissed yet," Toby rolls his eyes.

"You haven't fucked her OR kissed her and you're still into her? Damn she must be good," Cooper replies, evident shock in his voice.

"Fuck off Cooper, don't talk about her like that," I respond to his crude language. He sticks his hands up in surrender and I roll my eyes at him. Almost instantly, Carter's eyes widen.

I go to ask him about it but a voice interrupts, "talk about who?" Amy pipes in.

Em and Charlie are beside her, Em looks at me curiously; "my sisters," I quickly cover-up before the boys worsen the situation.

"Are they okay?" Em asks, a worried tone in her eyes.

"Yeah, he's just being an ass," I reply. My heart melts a tad at her worried tone and Toby scoffs from beside me, luckily Em doesn't notice.

Before anyone can say anything, a girl wearing very little walks over to me confidently. I look at her expectantly.

"Hey sexy, wanna dance?" The girl asks seductively. Before Em, I would've jumped at the chance, this girl was one of the hottest girls here, obviously after Em, and for her to approach me instead of the other way around would have turned me on alone. But now, I couldn't think of anything worse.

"No," I reject pointedly, all the boys apart from Toby look very surprised but Toby just looks smug.

"Excuse me?" The girl asks angrily.

"I said no, get your hearing checked," I reply roughly.

The girl scoffs at me and then turns around to face a smirking Blake. "What about you babe?"

"Don't mind if I do," Blake smirks at us before taking the girl's hand and heading towards the dance floor where they instantly begin grinding.

"You said no to HER?!" Em questions in a shocked tone.

"Yeah?" I reply questionably, everyone was watching our exchange, waiting excitedly for what would happen next.

Em watches me, her mouth opening and closing before she finally speaks; "why?"

I smirk at her, "because I'm about to dance with the hottest girl here."

"What?" She managers.

"Dance with me?" I propose, smirking at her fish-like face.

She doesn't answer me, still shocked so I take the opportunity to interlock our fingers and drag her to the middle of the mass of people dancing.

As soon as we get there, a new song begins and I instantly recognize it; Powerful by Major Lazer.

🎵🎶🎵

Em stands still for a little longer, but when the lyrics begin she slowly begins to move her hips. I dance with her while listening to the lyrics of the song. This song actually seemed perfect for our situation.

She does things to me, dangerous things that would seem innocent to a bystander but cause me to fall harder for her, and that wasn't good. From the first time we ever spoke there was always something deeper than a game but I never noticed it. Every time our bodies melded together affected me more than I wanted to admit, whether it was sleeping in the same bed, carrying her anywhere, sitting beside her, even dancing with her.

Being in her presence was almost like a drug. I just wanted her, in any way I could have her. The energy between us was so powerful, just like the lyrics stated. I hoped more than anything she felt the same way. I had tried many times to cut her off but it never worked, I always went back to her.

I thought about her so much, little things like her smile and the way her touch felt when we slept at night. I would never get sick of her, even though she turned me into a fucking pussy. I mean I was analyzing a fucking pop song thinking about her. She was the perfect girl, hell, she was the perfect fucking person. I just wanted to make her mine, I didn't care about anything else.

The song finally ends and Lose Myself by OneRepublic begins. She cheers with everyone else in excitement before she continues dancing enthusiastically to the music. She swings her hips and I don't think she even notices it when I grab her waist. Unlike everyone else, she wasn't grinding me on and I had to admit that I was glad, I wouldn't be able to control myself. Instead, my hands rested on her hips and pulled her closer while she swayed her hips, still facing me. She looked so happy and carefree that I almost forgot I had to move with her.

Again, the lyrics seemed to work in my favour. I was with her, and even if she wasn't yet mine, she was mine in the moment and that was what mattered. It was only me and her. The song ends eventually and another begins. I recognized the song again; it was Crowded Room by that super-hot celebrity that started on Disney and dated Justin Beiber. I had to admit, Selena Gomez was one of the hottest chicks out there and no one could change my mind.

The lyrics to the song once again relate to me and I'm starting to think that this whole playlist was created for me. I knew this was a chick song but I kinda liked it, not that I'd tell anyone.

The song slowly comes to an end and Radioactive by Imagine Dragons plays, I loved this song. Em and I continue dancing, laughing together and I was enjoying my time with her too much for my liking. She was still facing me so I see him before she does. A boy who kind of reminded me of Harry the creep comes up behind her. I glare at him in my most intimidating look but it doesn't seem to affect him, I was a little surprised to be honest, most people were intimidated by me with just a glance.

He grabs her hips and she instantly turns around in surprise to see who it was. She looks at the boy questionably and instinctively pulls away to stand closer to me.

"Dance with me babe," the boy demands, the creepy smile still on his face. Radioactive continues in the background and everyone continued dancing, well apart from me, Em and the creep trying to touch MY girl.

"No thanks, I'm here with my boyfriend," Em replies awkwardly, stepping closer to me. I instantly play along and put my arm around her waist. For some reason, the thought of this creepy asshole thinking she was my girl made me a lot happier than it probably should.

"Dump him, I bet I can fuck you better," the creepy guy smiles. That's all it takes. I pull away from Em quickly and punch the guy as hard as I can in the nose. He falls back in surprise before he gets back up and dives on top of me, getting one good hit in before I turn us around, straddling him so I can kill this motherfucker, or at least hurt him as best as I can, a lot worse than I did Justin.

"Aiden, stop, please!!" I hear faintly, over the even fainter sound of radioactive still playing. I ignore it.

From the corner of my eye, I see Carter push Em out of the way so he can pull me off this asshole. I notice her fall on her ass and then scoot backwards. Charlie and Amy try to help her up but she ignores them, finally, Carter and the others separate us and I get eye contact with Em who looks frustrated, but worse; disappointed. She allows Charlie and Amy to pull her up and she gets eye contact with me.

I can feel the disappointment in her eyes when she shakes her head at me, whispers something to the girls, and then walks away, the girls watch her retreating form quietly and she disappears. It's only now I notice the crowd that I had attracted, no one was dancing to Imagine Dragons anymore and everyone was watching our exchange in interest. I shrug away the hold the boys have on me, I go to follow her but Carter pulls me back.

"Give her some space man, just let her cool down a bit," Carter suggests. I nod at him weakly, agreeing with him that now was probably not the best time to follow her, I would give her 10 minutes to cool down, and then I would go after her. I broke my promise to her that I made last night and had to make it up to her.

Charlie and Amy approach us, asking me questions about what just happened that I don't respond to, I ignore the noises around me, has it been 10 minutes yet?

After another 5 minutes or so, I can't wait anymore so I go to find her but want to punch Carter in the face when I see her already talking to someone else; James. Carter told me to give her space and I did, but now she was talking to another one of the guys obsessed with her, what the fuck was his problem?

I angrily storm away, purposely shoving Carter with my shoulder and walling back past him to lean on a tree near the ocean. I could still hear the music clearly, faintly but clearly so I knew exactly where I was. Did I screw up again? Did I ruin everything again? I'm so fucking pissed at myself for not being able to control myself, beating the shit out of that creep was far too appealing.

I stand there, alone for what seems like hours but in all honesty, was probably only 15 minutes or so. Have I really lost her again? I look out at the ocean and my mind wanders back to last night when we almost kissed after swimming with the dolphins, I knew for a fact that last night was a memory that I wouldn't soon forget.

"Aiden?" I soft voice begins from behind me as a hand touches my back lightly. I recognize Em instantly and I almost fall over from shock, I had no idea she was here. I spin around quickly, desperately wanting to see her. "I'm sorry," she finishes before I can say anything.

I look at her in amazement, what was she apologizing for?!

"Why?" I ask in shock.

"For making everyone think you were my boyfriend earlier, I know that it probably ruined your chances with a lot of the girls." She replies in an apologetic tone that I can't quite decipher.

I don't reply, why the fuck was she sorry?! Only if she knew how much I actually enjoyed being called her boyfriend.

"Em?" I reply, still shocked that she had apologized to me for something when I should be apologizing to her.

"Yeah," she replies quietly.

"I'm so sorry Em, I swear I didn't mean to break the promise but he just made me so mad," I quickly apologize, I didn't want to screw up one of the best things in my life.

"It's fine," she begins but I can tell she wants to say more.

"But what?" I ask nervously, trying to encourage her to continue.

"Nothing, I just. I had a question," she managers hesitantly.

"Anything," I reply quickly.

"Why did you beat him up?" Em asks and my heart sinks, was she testing me?

"He was an asshole to you," I reply quickly, my heart still pounding against my chest nervously.

"Yeah, I mean of course," Em shakes her head, obviously not expecting that answer.

"What do you mean?" I ask curiously, my heart still pounding nervously.

She stays silent for a while but she finally regains herself; "it's just, I was talking to James and he just said something stupid, that's all."

"What did he say?" I question, my nervously beating heart only going faster.

It takes her even longer to talk this time and just as I think she won't answer the question she whispers her answer so softly, I barely hear it over the music. "He said that you were jealous."

My heart stops suddenly, what the fuck do I say back, he was right obviously, I was jealous but is now the best time to tell her how I felt? I mean I always planned to tell her when I got home.

"I know, it's stupid-" Em begins to ramble but I cut her off.

"He's right," I admit in the same quiet tone she used prior.

She stops in her tracks and looks at me in an emotion I could only describe as astonishment.

I wait for her to say something but she doesn't, she keeps staring at me with the same beautiful eyes.

"I really like you Em, and I mean more than just a friend. I've never felt this way about anyone before," I say after a few seconds, her astonishment looks as if it multiplies, was she that surprised that I was crushing on her?! Did she hate the sound of it that much?! I should never have said anything, I should have denied my jealousy.

"Say something," I beg, one last glimmer of hope shining through the wall that I had put back up.

"I really like you too, I mean more than a friend," Em managers after a minute and now it was my turn to look at her in astonishment. She felt the same way? My feelings weren't useless?! What now?

She looks at me nervously while I stare at her in astonishment and before I know what's happening, I pull her closer, grabbing her face in my hands and crashing my lips against hers. She's obviously shocked but after a second she reacts. She puts her hands over my shoulders and somehow they make their way through my hair, how the fuck did she make this moment even better?! I thought that would be impossible.

It felt like time stopped when my lips finally met hers, right now it was only me and Em. I maneuver us so she was pushed against the tree behind me, our bodies were glued together, entangled in one another. Kissing her felt like nothing ever before, her lips were as soft as velvet, exactly how I had imagined them to be. Sparks overcrowded my body, so intense yet so perfect and I knew this was how kissing someone was meant to feel. I was addicted to her, the way she tasted, the way she moved, everything.

She breaks away after a moment, obviously needing air. I can just make out her face from the light of the moon and her cheeks are flushed a bright red, I smile to myself. She was so beautiful.

"What now?" Em whispers, our bodies still molded together against the tree that was now my favorite tree I had ever seen.

"I say we make out again," I smirk and happily watch her face turn red again.

"Tempting, but I'm serious," she laughs and the sound is honestly music to my ears, she didn't regret telling me, she didn't regret kissing me. Was I dreaming? Was this really happening?

"So am I, I really like you Collins and we obviously need to talk about what happened but not here. Let me take you to the cliffs tomorrow when we get home," I suggest, hoping she agrees.

She nods hesitantly and pushes me away lightly; "okay."

"What's wrong?" I ask, knowing her well enough to register that something was wrong.

"It's just, I don't know if I can trust you. The fact that you want to wait to talk makes really nervous because, well, I mean, you haven't been the most, um, committed person before, I mean if that's what you even want" she admits and my heart sinks a little bit, did she not trust me?

I mean why would she? she was right, I was a manwhore. I was expecting her to just trust me when she knew my track record with girls, she didn't know just how much I really liked her and how I would never do anything to screw that up.

"I promise you that it's not like that, let me show you just how much. I really like you Em, I have for a while and I want to prove that to you. I want to talk at the cliffs because that's kind of our spot and I want to do this right," I explain. Her cheeks warm-up and she smiles at me, once again I fall a little harder.

"Okay," she agrees.

I smile at her, grabbing her face and pulling it towards mine so our lips connect again. She reacts immediately and my body once again heats up because of the unknown effect she had on me. I would never get tired of kissing her, it almost as if she was made just for me.

I had no idea what would happen when we got home, obviously I would take her to the cliffs so we could talk but what then? Would I go to school on Monday with a girlfriend? Would I have to prove myself before she would date me? Would she even date me or was this just a spur of the moment thing? Everything was unknown.

There was, however, one thing that I was absolutely sure of;
her lips were a drug and I was addicted.
