Best Friends With Benefits

Chapter Twenty Seven

I woke up in the morning next to Aiden which was a complete surprise. I sat up for a moment and just stared at his sleeping face, I missed his adorableness. I slid out of the covers and walked towards my wardrobe where I picked out a black cropped top and a white skirt. Aiden was still asleep so I grabbed the nearest thing to me which was a lipstick and threw it at him, I was in luck because it hit him straight in the face and he jolted awake clutching his temple.

"Ouch" He mumbled as he focused his sleepy eyes onto the lipstick in his hand. "Sorry sweetheart, not my colour" He grinned a cheesy grin and lay his head back down chuckling. I couldn't help but laugh with him and I climbed on top of his lazy body, he squirmed and then settled again with his arms wrapped around my body.

"Get up or we'll be late" I muttered, wriggling from his grip but he didn't release.

"5 more minutes Pey" He groaned and his grip tightened causing me to laugh, I eventually slid out and grabbed his wrist pulling him off the bed, he fell to the floor with a thump!. "Ouch, seriously" He stood and rubbed his bum which looked incredible in the jeans he still wore. I continued to get ready as Aiden took a quick shower and then we were out the door, Aiden grabbed his car and we were on our way to school.

Aiden spent most of the ride talking about how much I fidget in my sleep and I objected. When we pulled into the school grounds I let myself out of the car and hugged Aiden goodbye, it was the most contact we had had in a while from each other, his body was perfect to fit into but I soon found myself comparing him to Gale. Gale had slightly bigger shoulders but Aiden had longer legs, not that it was all about physique because if I was comparing them on their personalities then I wouldn't even know where to start.  

I walked into school in a relatively good mood for a change, I was usually hung up on some sort of drama but today was a new day, a new start. I managed to sit next to Alex in English and she asked me who was at the door when I cut her off on the phone yesterday. If I told her the truth and said it was Aiden I know what she would say; 'that's a  bad idea' and 'he'll only hurt you again' so instead of facing her accusations I passed it off as the postman which only opened a new set of questions; 'was he hot?' and 'how old was he?' which I found strange since she was dating my brother so I pretended the 'postman' was an old hairy guy.

When it came to lunch I was walking through the school towards the field exit when I was swept off of the ground, clutching onto my bag I was spinning and finally put back onto my feet I focused on the figure in front of me.

"Gale" I breathed as I punched his chest, he stepped back laughing.

"Hey you" He found my waist with his hand as we strolled onto the field. He hadn't mentioned the kiss yet and neither had I, should I bring it up? What was there to say? Instead I followed him to the tree where we met Alex, Max, Christie, Ryan, Loraine and Tyler. Gale sat down and I sat in between his legs finding my head resting on his chest. I felt somewhat awkward, I used to sit with Aiden like this. Talk of the devil, Aiden appeared in my sights and was heading over, he was distracted by something inside of his bag so didn't notice Gale until he was several metres away. He almost stopped in his tracks locking eyes onto Gale who was luckily emerged into a conversation with Alex. Aiden slowly walked over then looked at me, there was pain in his eyes and I couldn't help but feel guilty. He sat the other side of Ryan, putting some distance between us but not too much.

"How was class Aiden?" I wanted to find some sort of way to start a conversation with him because the longer he was silent the more intense the situation became.

"Good" He was blunt and started on his lunch, I agreed to myself to leave him alone. When Gale finally turned around he must of noticed Aiden because I felt his body tense beneath me making me nervous.
