Cinderella my Ass

I go FREEZE-POLICE!!! every time I\'m around Aiden

I wanted to laugh. Because it was funny right? He was telling me a joke, right? Right?

Come on someone tell me something. To laugh or not to laugh, because I’m loosing more and more brain cells with this guy around. His face was serious. His voice was serious. Even the way he was standing was telling me he was serious. But his words... were just ridiculous. Come on! How can Aiden Caley be jealous? He can’t. Its impossible. Like making pigs fly. Like a dog bathing willingly...

And why would he be jealous? On those moments nothing happened. We were all having fun. We were laughing and looking at Jake trying to find Narnia, behind the fridge or in it, thinking the oranges could speak. The sugar makes things to the brain of the that boy, strange things. Maybe he should check that.

Back to the point... Why would Aiden be jealous? Was he jealous because Jake thought he found Narnia? Or because Jake was in sugar high? Was it because of his pink panties? I hope not because if this was the reason, why I will kill him and then myself, and we will end up like a modern version of Romeo and Juliet. I killed us both, but hey! We can’t have it all.

Was it because I told a fairy tale to Jake? I can tell him one too. If that’s problem, then I can solve it in seconds. It still would be stupid, but better than the pink panties. The pink panties are just awkwardly ridiculous. But I could buy him those too. I don’t see any problem here. Or the reason why he acted with me like that. I didn’t do anything.

And if I did, what was it?

Even though I was really trying to keep my face emotionless to hide the whole confusion I had in my mind, I sucked at it. So a small laugh skipped my mouth. My hands snapped to my mouth immediately and covered it with wide eyes. What the hell! I freaking laughed.

Aiden looked at me confused, surprised, shocked, and I don’t know what else. Don’t blame him though. But... Seriously Ryder! Laugh? Seriously? The guy says he is jealous and you laugh? Can I get more awkward? “I’m sorry, I...” And like a response to the question made two seconds ago, I slipped, on God knows what, and fell on my ass, while shouting like a freaking lunatic.

And now was Aiden’s time to laugh. I just realized that things could get worse. More than worse. Why my life was like this?

Now like the weirdo I was, I moved my butt lightly to see in what I slipped. I could already feel my pants wetting from the mysterious-awkward-situation-maker thing. When I saw that it was oil. Seriously? That will leave a stain.

Aiden helped me up, as I was blushing, but too focused on touching the oil on my ass to concentrate on Aiden who was giving me a look. The kind of look you can’t read. You don’t know what hides.

The thing was sticky. Eww!

“Ryder, I really meant it when I said that I am sorry for acting like that with you. It was rude coming from me and the last thing I want to do is to hurt you.” He touched some hair that fell in front of my eyes and pushed it away gently.

“Why were you jealous?” Okay I know I shouldn’t have asked him that, because maybe he didn’t want to answer, but I was so curious I was dying because of it. Even though I would kill him if it was for the pink panties.

“Because of the kiss...” He blushed. His eyes weren’t looking at me anymore, but were glued to his shoes. I loved that red in his cheeks. It made me want so much to kiss them. Or just touch them. It was so cute and adorable. “And you said you liked him...”

What kiss? Who did I like?

And then it hit me. I kissed Jake. But it was a kiss on the cheek. And I liked him as a friend not in that way. Jake was just funny, crazy, weird and cute. Just how I like my friends to be. And I would really want to stay friends with him. Even though he was twenty year old.

Wait a sec... If he was jealous, does that mean he likes me? Or is my sick mind making up all of this? Because that would be just so lame.

“Ryder! I...” Aiden’s eyes were back to my face. The blush was gone and he looked serous. That made me hear him carefully. But if he wants to say to me to stay away from him, I will cover my ears and la-la deaf him. I don’t care. “I like you.” I was about to start the la-la thing, but the words kicked in. He WHAT???

Oh my God I’m dreaming!

I pinched myself. Yeah I pinched myself, deal with it. But that hurt, and made me squeal. Aiden laughed softly at me. He had the right to. I was a very good laugh material. The hell Ryder? He told you he liked you, and you pinch yourself? Why don’t you slap yourself, since you’re at it?

“I know you maybe don’t have the same feelings for me, but... give me time. Give me a chance.” The words had ran out of my mouth. And my mind stopped working. It was like I had given a day off to my whole body. Everything had stopped. He liked me? Aiden liked me? Should I pinch myself again? “Will you go in a date with me?”

Now imagine like I cried tears of joy and jumped in his arms, and said yes and after that everything went so good we ended up married. Because that DIDN’T happen. Unfortunately I fainted. Yes I fainted.

I freaking fainted again in front of him. Oh God this is turning into a habit.

***

This can’t be happening to me AGAIN!!!

I didn’t want to open my eyes. I refused. How could I open them when I knew Aiden was sitting next to me, and I could feel his eyes on me. It was embarrassing to faint every freaking time, he said something to me. Maybe I should see a doctor. GOD! What if I have cancer? That would be the end for me. LITERALLY!!!

It would be nice to just stay in bed and never open my eyes, but I had to face with him anyway, so like the cool girl I was (note the sarcasm) I opened just one eye, probably looking like a sneaking i***t. But I was faced with Aiden’s eyes, which made me open my eyes wide and freeze. Is it just me or, I go FREEZE-POLICE!!! every time I’m around Aiden?

“Hi!” Was the most idiotic thing I said. Why would you ask. Because I said it in a high pitch voice dragging the “i” for a good five seconds and I freaking WAVED! Who waves the moment they see their crush sitting in their bed? Idiots, that’s who.

Aiden chuckled. Oh that chuckle! It was so cute... “Are you okay?” He touched my forehead and then my cheek. His lips smiled at me.

“Just great!” s**t! I forgot to remove the high pitch voice. That made Aiden laugh this time. I feel like his personal clown. Always there to make him laugh. This isn’t normal. This isn’t good. This is going bad. Really bad.

“You scared me.” He said. His hand was still on my cheek. That felt good. Too good. He can keep that hand there forever. I don’t mind it. I have issues. Serious issues.

“Sorry.” I smiled back at him and sat up. We were in my room. Which was so messy I wanted to kill myself for letting Aiden see it in this kind of... MESS. “What time is it?” Outside was dark. Why was he still here when outside was dark?

“Around midnight.”

“Around WHAT?”

“You fainted and I brought you home. And your mom didn’t let me go...” He started to explain.

“Why?” I raised an eyebrow at him.

“Well...” He was blushing and rubbing the back of his neck. I loved when he did that. It was so many things that I can’t describe. “I kind of said your mom that I liked you and asked you out. And she doesn’t want me to go without your answer. And you woke up, kind of slapped me, and then fell asleep. I think I might have deserved the slap though “ Aiden rubbed his right cheek. I had to bite a laugh, but I blushed anyway. I had freaking slapped him.

I looked at the clock in my room. It was midnight. He can’t be here now. Not now!!!

There was a sound coming from my window. My eyes widened at that and I gasped. Loudly. Aiden looked at me confused. I gave him a sheepish smile and faked coughed to cover my dramatic gasp. He looked more confused than before, but I noticed a smirk in his lips. Why was he smirking?

That sound again.

“GET OUT!!!” I shouted, but it sounded like a suggestion. “You... Have to go home. It’s too late. Jake must be worried.”

“Your mom said I could sleep in the guest room for tonight. And I called Jake three hours ago.” His smirk was now in full display. And that sound kept repeating against my window.

“I...” Before I could say anything else, the sound came again from the window, this time louder. Aiden turned his head to the window. It was like someone was throwing rocks at my window. Of course! Midnight couldn’t come in with the light on in my window. He was probably throwing rocks so I can turn off the light.

My eyes almost left my skull, when I saw Aiden getting up from the bed and walking to the window. “What was that?” He opened the window and was about to look outside, when finally my instincts kicked in. I jumped off the bed and slid between the window and Aiden, which lead us to be very, very, very, VERYYYYY close. I was one breath away from his lips. We both blushed at our closeness.

“That was the benches of the tree next to my window.” I whispered, feared to move my lips a lot. Why wasn’t he moving away? He was there blushing lightly, and instead of backing away from me, he looked like leaning forward. Or was that my crazy and sick imagination? It could be an option.

“There’s no tree next to your window.” His breath crushed against my lips dangerously. His scent was so familiar. OH MY GOD HE IS LEANING!!! HE IS FREAKING LEANING!

And Midnight had to throw the rock to my window again, but since, the window was open, it ended up on my head. “Ouch!” And just like that I kind of head-butted Aiden. He backed off and rubbed his forehead.

“I should go.” He muttered chuckling. I walked him to the door of my room. He was sleeping in the next room anyway. “Ryder!” Aiden stopped walking and turned to face with me. “For the date...” s**t! He meant that? “It’s a yes or a no?”

“Yea-no-yes.” I mentally slapped myself. It was just one word. One FREAKING word. I had to mess that up too?

“What?” He was confused. The poor guy. Looking like a lost tourists in London.

I laughed awkwardly at him. “Yes.” Laugh again. God that was hard.

Aiden leaned forward and kissed my cheek so slowly, so sweetly, it was painful. After that he left my room and I heard him shutting the door of his. I was still froze in the God damn same spot he left me. Until a rock was thrown in the floor of my room. Oh yeah Midnight!

I shut the light and ran to the window as quietly as possible. But when I looked out of it, there was no one outside. The jerk left! He threw a rock to my head and left. Angry, I closed the window and lied in my bed. But a smile formed when I remembered what had happened. Okay I was blushing like hell because I practically fainted again, and slapped Aiden while sleeping, but minus those, I was smiling. He liked me. Aiden Caley li...

“Ry, open the window.” Midnight whisper-yelled. I rolled my eyes at him and opened the window letting him in. He jumped lightly on the floor and grinned at me sheepishly. “Hi my Ry!”

He was in good mood.

I grinned at him, and slapped the back of his head. “You threw a rock to my head.” I glared at him as he rubbed the place I slapped him. “Who does that?”

Midnight muttered something under his breath. “Sorry! Wanna a kiss it better?” I slapped his head again. “Hey! What was that for?”

“Fun.” I smiled and sat on my bed feeling tired.

“You look happy.” He sat next to me, extremely close. But I was used to that. And I felt good with him close to me.

“I am happy.” I whispered. Midnight smiled at me.

“I told you everything will be okay.” I looked at him. How lucky I was to have him. I had him there for me when I needed him the most. How he managed to do that, I don’t know, but I liked him for that. He was the best friend I could have. Yeah, Jasmine was there too, but Midnight was different. I couldn’t talk with her, about the things I talk to Midnight. I don’t know why, but it didn’t feel right. With Midnight it felt.

“Thank you for being there for me Midnight.” I kissed his cheek.

“Always everything for my Ry.”

***

“I was expecting everything but this.” I whispered to Aiden. He turned to see my face and smiled. Oh that smile that melts my heart.

“You like it?”

“Yes.” I breathed and looked up at the sky.

We were lying in the cold ground of his backyard. It was the middle of the day and it had started to snow a few hours ago. We were at that so called date. I wasn’t disappointed though. He had cooked for me. But he ruined it, since was trying too hard to don’t let Jake eat it, so we ended up ordering pizza. After watching Netflix for a couple of hours, it had started to snow. We went out and after succeeding in covering my whole body in snow, we lied in the grass, which actually was covered from the snow, and were staring at the way snow danced in the wind. So gently and gracefully, it made me smile like a creep.

Does Midnight like snow too? What was he doing now?

“Can we stay here like forever?” It was stupid, but that was what I wanted to do. To never leave.

“Anything for my Queen.” Aiden said.

Always everything for my Ry!

Midnight crossed my mind again. Why was I thinking about him?
