SABRINA

Chapter 5:SMILES*

The ride back was quiet. Aaron opted to take Brenda home which Sabrina was very willing to accept, while she went with Bex.

"Your not talking babe" Bex made the first move. One hand on the steering and the other made it way to her thighs. The car ride would have been comfortable with the tinted glass and blinders. The air conditioner doing it's work fine, the seat has been adjusted to her type but...

"Babe?" he tried again squeezing on her thighs. With a little grunt of disapproval she took his hand away from her lap

"Mi Reina"he called as he took his hands away from her lap

"Come on..speak to me" He stopped the car abruptly on the way waiting for her response something she wasn't ready to do

"What's going on Bex?"

"It's nothing honey, let it slide" he tried with a small smile

"Let it slide? In the town, we don't let little things slide"

"So are you saying, I've got something to do with it?"

"Am saying whatever is happening you should at least let me know"

"Am telling you mi amor there's nothing, she's just consumed by anger because of the loss of her daughter" he ran a soothing hand on her thighs again

She crossed her hands and pouted

"Are we good baby girl?"

"I don't know" she shrugged "Let's get to my apartment first"

"Sure, mi amor" he started the engine

He slumped on the couch and she carefully took of her shoes leaving her feet with only her socks. She took out her hair from the bun. That freedom. She gave a sign of relief

"I'll go make some coffee for myself, what do you want?"

"You" his voice husky and an evil glint in his eyes

"Huh?" a tint of red on her cheeks

"I'll have water please, I guess I have consumed enough of caffeine today" he smiled satisfied with the tease

The moment she left, he took off his coat and shoes. He took off the inner jacket and tie then opened two button for more relief

"Your water sir" she smiled

"Ahh, do you know who I am? You call me just sir! I'll give this service just a star" He joked

"Aye sir, we are very sorry for such inconvenience, but the f*ck we supposed to do?"

He looked at her in awe, did she just use the "f" word? He smirked as he flexed his legs to reduce fatigue. His tongue played in his mouth and his eyes had this sparkle she couldn't quite comprehend

"Dear woman, did you just say the.." she covered his mouth with her hands

"Don't repeat it" she blushed for some reason. He raised his hands to surrender before a thought crossed his mind. He hands snaked around her waist making her body to heat up. The felt those tingles, she shivered. He is her boyfriend right? There was nothing wrong.

"I missed you, Mamacita" he pulled her into a right hug, he inhaled her scent and ran his hands through her hair. His face buried in the crook of her neck

"Say you miss me too honey" he kissed her neck

"I miss you too, honeybunch" her mouth open to receive air without making any sounds that could heighten the mood. He hands around his snake, gently rubbing his hair

"Hmmm" he hummed enjoying the silence

She arched her breast higher and she gave in to the sound she had been holding in. His grip on her waist tighten.

"You want to start something you cannot finish hon?"

She shook her head furiously in disapproval

"Use your words, Mi Reina"

"No" it came out timid and he let her be. Pulling back to look at the beauty he settled for. He was satisfied

She was jogging down her coffee in embarrassment

"Slow down. you might choke" he smirked reaching for his own glass to take a sip

"Umm..you wanna tell me what happened?"

He sighed "I thought we were over this"

"Not entirely, you haven't said what I wanted to hear"

The ride back Brenda's apartment was filled with an uncomfortable atmosphere

"We're still going to keep this a secret right?" she played with her fingers mainly to divert her attention

"Yes" his reply quiet almost a whisper

Hmm..she nodded

"I was going to tell you welcome back" she tried again "Welcome back anyways" she looked down to her lap, years threatened to fall from her eyes. She bit her lip to hold the tears back

"hmmm" he hummed. Not everyone knows, but within the jovial Aaron was a really tough and cold hearted man. His facade was simple, easy to keep us with but deadly when you become his target and that was the person Brenda fell for. A hopeless love, she knew would never be reciprocated

"A walk back home would be better than an uncomfortable car ride" Her voice rang in the car. The voice that ended up becoming small and she acting timid because of the man before her

The car stopped abruptly

"Too late, we're here" he turned off the ignition and took out the key

"You can get down now"

She turned her head sharply

"Is that how disgusting I am to you?"

"You're going beyond your role Brenda"

"Of course. I have to, within all this, I still am a human. I have feelings Aaron. No matter how I push them aside"

Feeling that he didn't beg for.

The way she called him Aaron made his jaw tick. He reached for her jaw and held them firmly. He opened his mouth to speak but ended up shutting them

"Go now, Brenda" He said putting the key back to start the car

"Am sorry" the tears fell. She came down with slow strides she went towards her driveway.

His features soften, she didn't know what she was entering when she decided to pursue him. He didn't have any reason to hurt her. He zoomed off, not to give her the impression that he was looking at her.

He was Aaron Ashton, he had to behave like the spoilt character in his story but this spoilt character has a loose knot. Only a matter of time would she understand that he wasn't supposed to be around her kind anyways
