Chapter seven

“Sage!” Aaron called after me as I dashed up the stairs. “Sage, come back.” He caught my arm in the hallway, stopping me from sprinting into my room. “Hey…hey what’s wrong?” He said grabbing my face in his hands. I closed my eyes and tried to shake my head but his hands were stopping me. “Sage talk to me…you’ve been upset all week…please talk to me.”

“I can’t do that Aaron.” I whispered with my eyes still closed and my eyebrows scrunched together.

“Can’t do what, Sage?”

“This.” I said motioning between us. “I can’t be with you.”

“I wasn’t asking you to be with me Sage…I just…I just wanted to kiss you.” He said as I finally opened my eyes.

“I can’t do that either.” I snapped shoving his hands away. “I can’t be another slut that you fool around with that’s not what I want.”

He took another step closer to me looking straight in my eyes. His brown eyes looked practically black in the dim light of the hallway. “What do you want then Sage? Tell me what you want.” I shook my head and refused to look at him. “Sage let me help you!” He yelled at me. “Tell. Me. What. You. Want.”

“You!” I screamed throwing my arms down at my sides. I sighed and put my hand to my forehead before speaking again. “I want you.”

I imagined him laughing at me, being speechless, or maybe even just walking away and not saying anything. I never ever imagined him kissing me.

He crushed lips to mine and wrapped one of his arms around my waist and the other got caught in my hair. I made a noise of surprise before closing my eyes and throwing my arms around his shoulders. His hands slid down my back until he hitched my skirt up so he could pick me up and I could wrap my legs around his waist. He pushed me back up against the wall before kissing and biting my neck. I grabbed his hair and yanked his head back up to kiss me. I felt him stumble backwards as our tongues collided before he started walking down the hall. I heard a door creak open and assumed we were in my room but when Aaron tossed me on the bed I noticed we were in the guest bedroom where he was staying. He slowly slipped off my shoes before kicking off his own. He laid back on top of me before kissing me even more passionately than before. My fingers twisted his hair as I tried pulling him closer and his hands ran down my sides. I felt him start to pull my dress up but I grabbed his hands and stopped him while pulling away.

“I can’t go that far.” I whispered.

“Ok.” He whispered back as he leaned his forehead against mine. We were both breathing hard and our breaths collided with each. He rolled off and I started to get up feeling embarrassed before he grabbed my arm and pulled me back to him. “Can I hold you?” He asked searching my eyes for permission. I nodded before scooting closer. I leaned my head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around me. “Can we just fall asleep here?” He murmured kissing the top of my head.

“You want to fall asleep? I didn’t think you did that with girls.” I said laughing.

“Only with you.” He said softly kissing my lips before letting us both drift off to sleep.

***************

I woke up Saturday morning to the smell of roses. I rolled over expecting to bump into Aaron. I scrunched my eye brows as I ran my hand along the sheets searching for him.

I opened my eyes as bright sunlight poured through the window. I sat up to see the whole bed covered in rose petals. I got out of bed and changed into shorts and a baggy Dr. Pepper t-shirt before walking down the stairs.

“Aaron?” I called out walking into the living room, but there was no sign of him. I poked my head in the kitchen to see him sitting at the table and that he had changed into jeans and a grey shirt. “Hey.” I said walking in.

“Hi.” He smiled while getting up and closing the distance between us. He leaned down and kissed me.

I smiled as he placed something in my hand. “Mm.” I murmured before slowly pulling away and looking down. It was one rose with all its petals intact. I smiled as I walked around the counter putting the flower to my nose and inhaling the sweet scent that had filled the bedroom. “And I didn’t even sleep with you.” I said jokingly.

“Technically you did.” He said catching me by my waist and pulling me closer. He tickled my sides until my knees gave out and we both collapsed on the floor laughing. I sighed while leaning my head against the cupboard behind me. “So what about a date?” He asked catching me by surprise.

“Huh?” I asked turning my head to look at him.

“Can I take you on a real date sometime?”

“Like what?” I asked grinning and letting my leg lean against his.

“Well…homecoming is next Saturday?” He questioned.

“Well if you want to go to homecoming you better be thinking of a better way than just,” I dropped my voice so it sounded as manly as possible. “’well homecoming is next Saturday?’...”

He playfully glared before laughing at me. “Fine, I will find a better way to ask you.”

There was a moment of silence where we just looked at each other and smiled. “So what about breakfast?” I said before standing up and beginning to drag out everything I needed to make waffles.

“You know what I love more than making waffles?” He said as I was grabbing the eggs and milk from the fridge.

“What?” I said turning and receiving a face full of flower. My mouth stayed agape as I wiped flower off my eye lids.

“Fighting with the ingredients.” He said while laughing.

I set everything on the counter before smashing an egg on his head. “Oops.” I said while laughing. He grabbed the milk and started unscrewing the cap. “You wouldn’t.” I said taking a step back.

“Oh, but I would.” He said while smirking and dumping milk over my head.

I gasped while jumping back astonished that he’d actually done it. I grabbed a handful of strawberries from the bowl on the counter before tossing them at Aaron before diving behind the counter. I heard him jump behind the other side. I poked my head up so I could snatch the bottle of whip cream. I crouched down while popping off the cap before glancing back over the other side.

Aaron launched chocolate chips which hit me square in the face. I slouched back down shaking the chocolate chips from my hair. “Hey that kinda hurt!” I said with mock sadness.

I heard him stand up and start walking closer. I slowly stood up putting the whip cream bottle behind my back. “I’m sorry.” He said reaching towards me. I bit my lip before spraying the whip cream in his face. I laughed while he pushed the whip cream away from his eyes.

“See that was mean.” He said with a fake pout.

“Aw.” I said setting down the whip cream bottle and putting my hands on his shoulders before standing on my tip toes and leaning closer. “I’m sorry.” I said before kissing him.

“Mm…you’re still not forgiven.” He said putting his hands on my hips.

I leaned closer and kissed his nose. “And now?” I whispered.

“Nope.” I smiled before licking the whip cream off his cheek before doing the same to the other. I gave him a smirk of my own before leaning forward kissing him again before lightly biting his lip and pulling back just a little before letting his lip go. I smiled before taking a step back and continued making waffles. Aaron wrapped his arms around my waist before whispering in my ear. “You. Are. Forgiven.”

*********

On Wednesday my dad called before school had started, reminding me that he was going to be back on Saturday evening.

“Why do we have to go to the movies tonight?” I groaned as Kalina nearly dragged me across the parking lot.

“Because this movie has great reviews and a ton of people from school are going!” She said as we reached the line for tickets.

“You know I have a paper to write tonight right?”

“Two for house at the end of the street.” Kalina said before turning back to me. “This is going to be a great movie, screw your paper.”

“What’s this movie even about?” I said noticing that she was handed the tickets and never paid for them.

“Pyscho killers duh.”

“You know Aarons probably sitting around my house being bored as hell.” I said as she dragged me through the lobby.

“I’m sure he has better things to do.” She mumbled before opening the door to the theater and choosing seats at the back of the theater. She was right I saw many familiar faces and the theater was nearly filled with high school looking students.

I waved to a few girls from the cheerleading team before turning back to Kalina. “This movie better be good.” I murmured as the lights dimmed and the previews started. The first preview was for a movie that was rated R. I scrunched my eyebrows while leaning closer to Kalina. “I thought you said this movie was PG-13?”

“It is.” She whispered back.

“Then why is-“ I started but stopped when my name appeared on the screen. “Is that my name?”

A light turned on down in the front of the theater lighting up Aaron who was holding a bouquet of roses in one hand and in the other was a light brown bear with a red bow around its neck.

The screen changed as I looked back at Kalina who was grinning so much I thought she might split her lip. I looked back at the screen which had one word on it.

Homecoming?

Aaron had caught my eye and was now motioning for me to walk to him.

I sighed while laughing before walking down the aisle to stand in front of him. “Our relationship is rated R?” I said while raising one eyebrow.

“After all this,” He said gesturing around. “That’s all you have to say?”

“I want to hear you ask the question.” I said grinning.

“Sage…will you go to homecoming with me?” He said smiling in return.

“Yes.” I said before throwing my arms around his neck and kissing him full on the lips.

I could hear the whole theater burst into applause as he kissed me back which made me smile through the kiss.

He slowly pulled back before handing me the flowers. “See, our relationship is totally rated R.”

I laughed as I linked my arm through his before we began walking back to my seat. “You have a sad idea of rated R then.”

I glanced up and saw Nadia who looked more pissed off then I can describe. I pushed some of my hair behind my ear before we got to our seats and sat down.

“Perhaps.” He smiled before kissing my temple.

“You were in on this?” I whispered to Kalina who was already nodding her head up and down. “And that’s why you didn’t pay?”

She nodded again. “Aaron paid for both our tickets.”

 I turned back to Aaron as he intertwined his fingers with mine. “How did you do all this?”

“I know some people.” He said before softly kissing me.

I leaned my head on his shoulder as the movie started. For once I am totally content with life.
