Just Another Fix For Such A Simple, Little...; Aaron Johnson Pt. 4

Aaron

“Dani, come sit on my lap,” I said to her as her friends and sister set up for band practice. She hesitated and I did that puppy dog thing that always worked. She rolled her eyes at me and crossed her arms. “Please Dani?” Still, she shook her head. I sighed and tried my best to look sad.

I looked at my shoes and sighed loudly. I heard her giggle and walk towards me. My head shot up and I opened my arms. “Only because I feel bad for you, okay Aaron?” I nodded.

It had been about a week since I took Nathan’s bet. I was still trying to figure out how to get her to be mine. I knew this wouldn’t be easy, and there was also the fact that Jess was extremely protective of her sister and didn’t like me. That part was just super.

The good part was that she had been warming up to me just a little bit more lately. Sometimes she would play along with my flirting. It was rare though.

"You look nice today," I commented. She smiled. "You don't look so bad yourself, Brit." Dani called me that on some occasions. I found her fingers playing with mine. "You have long fingers," she said. I took her hand and kissed every finger. She blushed and I told her so, which made her blush even more. "So what...you make me blush," Dani replied quietly, "Big deal, Brit." I smirked. It was a very big deal, to me at least. I liked toying with her emotions.

The mobile in my pocket buzzed and I tickled Dani so that she would get off of me. She jumped and landed in the spot next to me. The text was from Nathan's girlfriend's friend named Torrey. At school I flirted with her as well. She was pretty, but I admit, not as pretty as Dani. The text was asking if I wanted to hang out sometime. I quickly replied that I would talk to her later; I was a bit busy at the moment.

The minute I shoved the phone back into my pocket, Dani jumped back onto my lap and took my hands once more. This shocked me. "What'swith all this?” I asked. She just shrugged. “Who texted you?” she asked. I shook my head in response. “Tell me, please Aaron?” I kept my mouth shut but I smirked. She then tried to grab the phone out of my pocket. We turned into a mess of giggles and tickling.

We had totally forgotten about the rest of the room and someone cleared their throat. We both looked up at the same time and saw that Dillon and Jess were both looking at us weirdly while the rest of the band looked at us with amused looks on their faces. I was sure that Jess was either disappointed or mad and that Dillon was jealous. Good. Brian coughed.

Danielle

“Oh, um, sorry for interrupting,” I mumbled meekly. Slowly, I got off of Aaron’s lap and sat at the other end of the couch he was on. I had taken it too far. Lately I had been falling a little more for Aaron’s sweet comments and adorable gestures. And I had been getting too close to him. This needed to stop, but at the same time, it seemed I couldn’t get enough of him. While the band tried to decide what song to play, I got a text from Jess.

Jess: We need to have a talk.

Me: Alright

I knew what this meant. She was going to yell at me, there was no avoiding it. I knew it was about Aaron. I had told her that I wasn’t going to fall for him, but here I was, almost doing exactly that. I sneaked a look at him. He was sitting there watching the band and he was smirking, as if happy with himself that he embarrassed me. He probably was. As I thought about what I was thinking before, I realized I was coming closer and closer to letting my guard down.

I was starting to think to myself before that there was nothing wrong with him, but now as I looked at him smirking, I realized that he was just a heartbreaker, the king of players. Love was nothing but a game to him. All the girls he’d probably dated were probably just for fun. And I was nothing more than the next level to his little twisted game he was trying to accomplish.

So I scooted even further away from him and put my game face on. If he wanted games, games were what he would get and nothing more. I wouldn’t let my guard down at all, and I would mess with him as much as he would do to me. Anything he could do, I could do better. I was gonna break his little heart in two.
