These boys! I can't understand them!

I went up to Aiden and held him close to me.

He held me tight like he wouldn't ever let go.

He wasn't shivering at all. He just quietly lay his head on my shoulder and his arms wrapped around me.

His cologne blessed my nose. He smelled so good.

I could appreciate his physique. His perfectly toned body.

His body felt so good against mine that I didn't want to move an inch away from his embrace.

Wait, what was I thinking?

Wrong way, Stella! Wrong way.

Oh shut up! Let me live! spoke my inner voice and I started kissing the soul out of Aiden.

His hands crawled inside my T-shirt which was practically a crop top now.

They smoothly ran across my waist and were moving upwards making my head explode.

Aiden was bringing his lips close to my neck and when I heard a car starting.

I opened my eyes to see I was lying asleep this entire time and Aiden looked back to see me.

"Sorry to wake you up. I fixed the car."

I WAS DREAMING!!?? ALL THIS TIME?

Why was I dreaming about making out with Aiden?

So weird!

"No, its fine. When did you wake up? How did you fix it?" I asked while yawning.

"Skills, babe!" spoke his arrogant ass.

"Why did I even ask? Lets go now." I said.

Aiden sat in the driver's seat. Easily wore his seat belt.

Was the crash and his wounds also a dream? Because I don't see any signs of it anymore.

I looked at his arm to see my top strip still tied around his arm. Hence, it wasn't a dream.

What is he? Iron man? Does anything even hurt him?

He began driving the car. And I started feeling cold. All night asleep in this cropped top. I might have caught cold.

I started shivering. Aiden saw from the front rear view mirror and switched on the heater.

"AIDEN SMITH! You can't fix this here in an hour. So don't even try! It was working all this while!!???" I asked

"Its not my fault you didn't check it. Aiden tried to act innocent.

Are you feeling better now?"

"Yes." I said.

Why did he not let me switch on the heater yesterday night when he was feeling cold? I was so worried for him trying to figure out ways to keep him warm.

I was sitting quietly for sometime lost in my own thought, then dozed off, and woke up from a short nap and I didn't even realise when Aiden got off the car. Brought a warm oversized sweater and hot coffee for me.

I wore it and it was 'The Softest, The most comfy sweater in the world'.

I just loved it.

He sat by my side and gave me the coffee carefully.

"Be careful. Its hot." he said.

"I'm sorry about the heater. Please don't be mad at me,Stella. " he said so adorably that you might go 'awww' at that.

I don't understand him. Sometimes he is rude, making fun of me, teasing me. But sometimes he does things for me which indicate the just opposite. He is so sweet and caring.

"Thankyou, Aiden. For everything" I said.

"Silly!

Come sit beside me in the front seat"Aiden said and he began driving again.

"Did he call you again, that lover boy of yours?"

"Don't call him that. Yes. A lot of times. I'll talk to him today."

"Do you like him? Are you together with him?"

"No, Aiden. I am not. I like him but not in that way. He is just so sweet to me. I never want to hurt him"

" You are thinking about giving him a chance, maybe you fall for him too. Am I right?"

"I.. I don't know. His parents already think I am his girlfriend. His brother wants me to be with him. I don't think there is anything wrong with Mark. He is perfect. I should give myself some more time to figure out how I feel for him."

Aiden stopped the car at this.

And made his grip at the steering tight.

"So it has reached up till here." he muttered.

"You can't be with him."

"What is wrong with you? What does it have to do with you?"

"You.. You're.. Let it be."

he said and started moving again. With weird expression of anger and disappointment on his face.

He is my flatmate so he thinks he can take decisions for me? What does he think of himself! So bossy!

Soon we reached home. And Aiden quickly went to his room.

I picked up my stuff and went to the hospital, where Mark was waiting for me.

As soon as I reached to where he was, he immediately grabbed my hand and took me two the cafeteria.

"You were with him for an entire day and an entire night??Where did you go? I was so worried."

"I went to meet my brother, Mark. He just dropped me there and then back to our house."

"Our house. I don't want you to live with him. Please, move in with me, Stella. You'll have your personal space. You'll get all what you need. You won't even feel like I am there too. Just come stay with me."

"Stop being ridiculous Mark. I can't move in with you."

"I know you don't love me Stella but I am insecure. I don't like to see you live with someone else. Sharing the same roof. I am so jealous of him. He gets to see you all the time. I've seen the way he looks at you. He is fond of you.

I am scared you'll fall for him."

"Mark! Stop talking nonsense. He doesn't like me at all and neither do I.

We are not even close. I am with you most of the time. Stop being unreasonable."

He is the guy girls are running and drooling after. Who would have thought? This perfect man would like someone as average looking foolish like me.

I am honoured but I just had a minor crush on him. I don't love him. He deserves so much better, he has no clue. I hope he finds someone who deserves him and his love. Because I surely don't.
