Ivy, present time...
My mind spun with memories of that fateful night at the senior prom. I twirled on the dance floor with Aaron, feeling a rush of excitement and happiness coursing through me.
But even in that moment, part of me yearned to be in Aidan's arms instead. My heart skipped a beat when I saw him arrive at the prom, looking dapper as ever. But my joy turned to hurt when I saw him with another girl.
And that kiss with Aaron...I had forgotten all about it because it didn't mean anything.
After the song was over, Aaron pulled me to the side and told me they had a big plan for us. He wanted me to go back to his hotel room with him, but I said no since I knew what that meant.
And then he kissed me in a last attempt to convince me, but I pushed him away.
"God, Aidan. Are you serious? That kiss meant nothing to me," I said, trying to keep the anger out of my voice.
