Love thy Ruin
I blink once and return my eyes to their normal size. Annoyance bubbles in my blood. "Listen, you douche." I scowl, "If you so much as touch me, I will scream so loud that you'll wake up in a jail cell."
"Woah. Okay, Tiger. I'm scared." Aiden says mockingly as he lowers his head to level his face with mine. Locking his green eyes into my hazel ones, he says, "You're feisty."
"I also bite. So, don't even think of hurting me." I warn him.
"Who says I want to hurt you?" He backs up.
"You didn't make a very docile first impression." I remind him. A notorious smile forms on his lips.
"I didn't catch your name." He says.
"That's because I never gave it to you, Aiden." I make sure to enunciate his name.
"Color me intrigued."
