Bridget comes in when I am brushing my teeth for the billionth time.
"What are you doing?" She laughs.
"Trying to get the taste of Colten from my mouth." I sigh, setting down my toothbrush.
"You kissed him?"
"To get Louis mad."
"Colten knows?"
"I'm sure." I shrug.
"What if he doesn't Ariana? He could really like you."
"God not you too! Colten doesn't like me!" Lie. You're his mate he loves you.
Well it’s not a total lie...
"Hey um can I talk to you?" Colten says, popping up.
"N-" I try but am interrupted with Bridget's "Yes!"
She pushes Colten in and leaves.
"So, who do you like?" Colten asks.
"No one."
"Who do you like?"
"No one." I answer again.
"Who do you like?"
"How many times are you going to ask me that?!" I snap.
"As many times it takes for you to say my name." My heart pings, but I shove it to the back of my mind. Focus Ariana you don't like him. He's dirt to you.
"Um so we're going out?" he asks looking at the floor.
I try not to focus on just how cute he looks when he’s nervous.
"Um, I just did that to make Louis jealous." I say, playing with my fingers.
"What?! So, you were using me?!"
"Well when you say it like that I-"
"I can't believe I got you out of all people as a mate! I thought you actually came to your senses and liked me!" He yells.
He turns and slams the bedroom door closed, and I hear the wood crack, making me flinch.
"Colton I’m sorry-"
"You're not f*cking sorry! Leave me alone." He says before leaving and slamming the door, causing the wood to split even more.
I went downstairs to confront Bridget.
"What's going on? What's all the noise?" She asks.
"Um nothing. I'll text you?" I say, opening the door.
She grabs the movies and her blanket, which I was unaware that she brought, and leaves.
I sigh and go back up to Colten's room.
"Go away!"
"I sleep here. And I have everything in there."
I hear him groan before the door clicks open.
I open it and notice Colten was nowhere in sight.
"Co-" I say, wanting to call his name before I’m pushed against a wall.
"Tell me you don't like this," Colten whispers huskily before planting his lips on mine.
My breath catches in my throat. I can’t deny the feelings Colten brings out of me.
I wrap my arms around his shoulders and my legs around his waist.
He picks me up and lays me on the bed, not breaking this kiss.
He trails kisses down my neck and my collarbone.
"Tell me." He says.
Momentarily I forgot what he meant.
"I-" I shook my head. I couldn't do it. Because we both know I loved it.
He lays his head on my chest.
"What are you doing?" "I like your heartbeat."
"Colten?" I sigh.
"Ariana?" he mimics, hovering over me.
"I- I like you. A lot. But I'm scared."
"Scared of what?"
"Of being heartbroken again. I literally just broke up with Louis."
"You know I won't cheat. Or hit you or use you or betray you or lie or-"
"I get it." I laugh.
"I'll do anything to prove that." He says, our foreheads touching.
"I know. And I love that." I nod before pressing our lips together again.
He bites my lip and let out a low growl.
He slipped a hand under my back and pulls me up.
This is something else.
