(Aaron)
I was peacefully taking my bath when the door banged open. Shoot. I forgot to lock the door. I never shared a room and this was going to be awkward.
"Or hot," my wolf said with a salacious wink. He was such an i***t. I growled at him.
"I have a girlfriend."
"Someone you have just been thinking of breaking up. You really should, Aaron. I am saying it for your own good."
"Yeah, yeah, I know." I said with a huff.
I was going to let the girl know I was in here when I realized she was stripping. Her shirt was above her head and I couldn't see her face and she couldn't see me ogling her like a pervert.
Shit. This is not right.
"Goddess, she looks beautiful. Those breasts..."
"Bastard, look away."
But I wasn't looking away, either, and Zed was almost drooling in my head. s**t. I hated this f*****g perverted wolf.
"What? You are the one who is still staring."
"Hey," I said but she didn't hear me. Her shirt came off and then she saw me.
"What the hell?" She screamed.
"What the hell?" I said as I finally took a look at her face. What the hell is she doing here?
"Oh, I never knew Dani was hiding such marvelous breast under her jackets," Zed said with a smack of his lips. If he was standing opposite to me, I would punch him in his nose.
"Shut up, Zed."
"Don't tell me you didn't think about pressing your hands against those marvelous breasts."
"NO. f**k no. You... shut up, and stop giving me ideas."
Suddenly I remembered what my mom told and my parents' secret looks.
Is it their f*****g plan or something?
This was not funny. Not at all. Mom was going to be very sorry for this.
"Turn around." I ordered. She stood there, topless, eyes tightly shut. And I really was not a pervert, but she looked really, really hot in just her bra...
This is so wrong. Look away. I ordered, but my eyes had mind of their own.
"Do not look away, I am enjoying this. This is going to be so fun with Dani," Zed said, looking enthusiastic as hell.
She opened her eyes and her eyes widened as she looked up my leg. If she looked any higher... I did not want that to happen.
"Who in the hell are you? Are you her boyfriend? You should not be showering here," she said as she stopped.
"Turn around," I said again. I didn't know why I didn't simply turn around from her inquisitive eyes. I was not thinking clearly. My mind was a freaking blur and my wolf was not helping.
"Your c**k is not helping either, Aaron," Zed said and I gritted my teeth.
“Ok, a little above,” she murmured and looked at me and I glared at her, more angry with myself than with her.
"s**t on a shingle." She cursed, trying to cover herself, but I had already seen enough. More than enough, and nothing was going to stop me from thinking about her in ways I should not think about her.
"Oh..."
"Do not utter another word."
"No, sir."
"You are an asshole, Zed."
"What in the hell are you doing here? Don't tell me you are my f*****g roommate," I said with unnecessary force to hide that standing here in the bathroom, only half dressed was affecting me, affecting other parts of me as well.
"Tell me that Samantha is staying with me and you are only here because of her," Danielle said in a pleading voice. "Please, let it be Samantha. I can even take her, goddess, but not you, no."
She gritted her teeth as she bent down and grabbed her shirt.
"No. I am your f*****g roommate. Turn around and walk out of his bathroom right this instant."
"Why didn't you lock the door, you pervert?" she asked as she walked out with a frown.
After five minutes, I was in my T-shirt and trousers and I walked out to see Danielle standing against the kitchen counter, her hands over her eyes. She had finally put her t-shirt back on.
"Unfortunate. I rather liked it when she isn't wearing the t-shirt."
"Nobody asked you, Zed."
“I am dying here goddess, send some angel, any angel, even a fallen angel would be good enough,” she gasped rather dramatically.
Is this creature for real?
I suddenly had an urge to laugh, but I pursed my lips.
I walked to my desk and perched myself on it with a tired exasperated sigh.
I opened a book and started reading it, though my mind was unnaturally attuned to her every actions and moves.
She walked to the refrigerator and sighed.
“Holy tomato, where’s my juice?” she shrieked.
The juice had expired and so I threw it away. But I kept silent, watching the show.
“It’s you, I know. Why are you even here in my room, you no-good asshole? Is this some sort of a sick joke to you? Just leave me alone, okay. I don't- I don't have any energy left to play this cat and mouse game with you.” She ended with a sigh and she looked rather tired and to my surprise it made me feel bad.
There were times when I felt something for her, akin to sympathy and... But I didn't want to.
It was just hatred... And something else.
Whenever she laughed, it made me want to laugh with her and also made me want to stop making her laugh. There were always these two sides on my mind, which constantly brawled against each other because of her.
My wolf never helped, either. He liked Danielle, and I had no idea why.
"Because she is amazing."
"She really is not."
Though I wished I could stop thinking about Daisy, I was reminded of it constantly by Danielle’s face. It made me angry to realize that while Daisy was lying lifelessly in a bed, Danielle was living.
"Would you rather she is with Daisy too? Like that?' Zed asked. "What do you really want? You are being so unfair to her and you know it. I know it."
I didn't know the answer to that.
I looked at her with a forced grin and she looked back at me with a sigh. Her eyes were red and there were black circles under her eyes.
“Aaron, I am so tired of this game we keep playing. So tired. Can you just listen to what I have to say?” Her voice was pleading. She looked drained and lost.
“Yeah, tell me, what do you want to say?” I asked her in a calm tone, though my inside was raging.
“I-I didn’t bring Daisy there,” her voice shook as she said that and I jerked up… I didn't expect her to say that.
But I know she did. If she didn't, she should have told that to me one and half years ago. This was too late.
"I really... I miss her, just as much as you do, Aaron. If not more." Her hands clasped against her chest as if it hurt her to talk about that, talk about Daisy.
Mine hurt more.
"Not more than me." I spat. "You couldn't."
"I know and maybe not more than you, but I do miss her. She is the only one I have left in my life, Aaron, only one I love and only one who loved me. Please Aaron, can we-"
"Can we what?"
"I don't know. Not fight when you are here? I-"
"Okay." I shrugged. A small smile flicked on my ever brooding eyes and I gave that smile to her. She seemed shocked and stunned for a moment.
"What are you doing, Aaron? No. Whatever you think of doing, do not do it," Zed warned from inside my head. "You might regret it."
I ignored the wolf.
“Really? Did you just say okay? Are you possessed? Do I need to call for an exorcism?” Her eyes scanned my face, still half closed.
Ok, this girl didn’t know really what to speak and when to speak. When I was offering the white flag, she was being sarcastic.
"But she knows your white flag... is so red."
“I am also tired of this cat and dog game we keep playing. Let's forget that for a while. At least while I am here." I said with a smile when I saw the all strong and pigheaded Danielle's eyes flashed with a hint of vulnerability.
She looked at me like she couldn't believe me. And then she finally nodded.
I smirked.
That was all I needed.
"Asshole. You will burn in hell for this," My wolf cursed.
"I will bring her along with me to the hell."
