Chapter 18

Melodie's POV:

"Mel?"

I stayed silent. Listening as Aaron sniffed and cleared his throat, waiting to see if I'd answer him.

"Melodie," He said, a little more confidently. "I know you can hear me." He said, with a light chuckle. "Me-"

"W-What!?" I yell.

"I knew it." He said, a smile clearly on his lips. "You forget I know you more then you think."

"What do you want Aaron?" I say, sliding down the wall next to the door. My heart fluttering knowing how close he is, then I remember this morning and my heart falls into my stomach.

"I'm here for you." He said, clearly.

"No duh." I say, getting irritated now.

"I know you're upset," He said, shifting his back on the door. "You have every right to be. But you never let me explain. I-"

"You don't need to explain anything." I say, my anger spitting out of my mouth like fire. "I'm done with Magcon, I'm done with the boys, I'm done with traveling, and I'm done with you."

He sat quiet.

"Now if you'd excuse me," I say, standing up. "I'm going to take a shower, and crawl into my bed. My own bed."

"How are you going to get to sleep?" He whispered.

"You were the one who needed me to help you sleep." I say. "So if you could do me a favor and get the hell away from my door. Then I might be able to get some rest."

Silence.

"Goodnight Aaron." I say, watching his shadow sit darkly compared to the bright lights in the hallway.

"Goodnight." He whispered, his shadow still unmoved.

"Aaron." I say crossing my arms.

"Yes?" He said, hopefully.

"Get up."

"No."

"Get up!"

"No!"

"Aaron so help me, get your ass up!"

"Not happening! Goodnight."

I screamed in frustration. I pulled on my hair, gritting my teeth. My eyes started to fill with tears as I held my head. So angry my tears spilled over my cheeks and onto the floor.

"P-Pleas-se." I whisper.

"I'm sorry but I can't do that. You know I'd do anything for you, anything except that."

"Aaron Braden!" I yell, hitting the door.

"Melodie Rose!" He said back.

Then I found myself doing something I didn't expect. I ripped the door open. Aaron was startled, and quickly stood up.

"Go aw-way." I say, tears dripping off my chin. Aaron shook his head, before grabbing me, and holding me close to him. His wonderful scent filling my nose instantly. I tried to get him off of me, but he wouldn't budge. He just tightened his grip, crushing me against his chest.

Out of frustration I started to cry. Aaron made his grip more gentle as he let me wet his shirt in tears. He picked me up, and opened the door to my room. I panicked and jumped out of his arms. I held my arms out, pushing on his chest.

"No." I say, choking on my words. "I-I d-don't want-t you in h-here." His eyes softened. Before stepping forward, moving my arm out of the way. "A-Aaron." I sob, my frustration coming out in tears. He kept pushing against me till he was in the room. He closed the door behind him, and locked both locks behind his back.

I screamed in anger, hitting his chest. He stood still letting me get my emotions out. My hits got softer, as he gently took my wrists in his hands. Finally giving in, as I leaned my forehead on the front of his chest. He wrapped his arms around me, walking me backwards to the bed. I realized I had left my bag in the elevator, and started to cry harder. This was the worst day of my life.

Aaron noticed that my things weren't there, and kissed my forehead. He sat me on the bed, and stood in front of me as he took off my shirt.

I sat there, too upset to stop him. He pulled it over my head, and threw it across the room.

He took the back of my neck in his hand, while his other went to the small of my waist. Laying me down on the bed. He slipped off my jeans easily, throwing them by my shirt. I lay silently, looking at him as he slipping my socks off too. His eyes met mine, before he looked to the side of the bed. He put his hands behind his head and pulled his shirt off, tossing it to the side. He picked up my hand, and kissed it before putting it over his heart. He stood over me lovingly, his other arm holding himself up as he leaned forward to me.

"Do you feel how fast it's beating?" He asked, softly as he looked at every detail of my face. "It only beats for you."

I opened my mouth to say something, but was silenced with his lips. He pulled away, leaving the tender kiss tingling my senses.

"She's my cousin. And when she meant 'All of you', she was talking about the boys. And she has a crush on Taylor, so that's why she added the wink. I know it looked wrong. I know what it looked like, and I don't blame you for assuming the worst."

"But-"

"Hey," He interrupted. "I would never do something like that. Especially not to you."

I lay quiet, then remembering that was only in my underwear and bra, and put my free hand over my body to cover. He noticed and moved it away, lightly kissed a trail up my stomach and chest.

"You're my Melodie." He said, pressing a kiss to my cheek. His hot breath making my hands sweaty against his chest. "And I would never hurt my princess like that." He said, taking my lips in his again. Letting our lips melt together. The sweet kiss soon turned passionate, making me curl my toes. Aaron pulled away, panting against my mouth as he crawled over me.

"I'm sorry about everything." He said, taking my face in his hands and kissing me harder. "Now let me kiss it all better." He said, pressing a kiss on my jaw.
