Marry you (Aaron Ramsey) [completed]

Chapter twenty one

Louisa

It's not even that cold outside, but I have to wear the scarf. It's awful. My entire neck has hickeys, Aaron doesn't even feel sorry that the scarf can't even cover the mess he made and I want to kill him with my bare hands. I adjust the scarf better in my neck and try to cover it with my hair as well. I'm like a teenager. Yes, a teenager. Only teenagers are so irresponsible, having hickeys all over their neck just to show around. I exhale deeply. This is no good.
- You didn't call.
I hear Vanessa's voice as long as I enter the studio.
- Sorry, stuff...happened.
I reply.
- "Stuff happened" ?
- My parents came to visit me and they are staying for a couple of days so I want to spend some time with them and I forgot to call you.
- Or you were avoiding me, because you don't want to talk about...you know what.
I look at her confused.
- If it makes you feel any less suspicious, I don't even remember what we were talking about.
I reply and it's the truth. Vanessa rolls her eyes.
- Whatever. The cast is with the make up artists, getting ready. I need to ask you something about a scene though...
I nod, and wait for her to do so.
- Oh, here it is. I think that this scene's not important at all, we can as well cut it, besides, I don't like it and...
Her eyes end on my scarf.
Shit.
- You were talking about that unnecessary scene.
I reply, trying to get the attention away from my scarf.
- Yes, I finished with it. I think there's no need of filming it. Nice scarf by the way! Can I try it ?
She makes a step towards me and I make a step backwards.
- No! Um...I've got a cold. I need to wear this.
I smile weakly at her and she looks at me confused.
- You don't seem like having a cold.
- But I do.
- O-kay, I guess.
She glares at me one last time and looks at the scenes again. The scarf makes me itchy but I can't take it off. My hair won't be able to cover the mess Aaron had made. I tilt my head. He always gets me into trouble. And he actually enjoys it. And me ? I'm always trapped to whatever he finally does. And couldn't he just control himself ? He doesn't have any right to do so. And me ? Well,...I let him. Because I was out of my mind. Or because...because I really wanted this to happen. He intrigues me. He makes me have mixed feelings. He makes me go crazy. I bite my lip. I'm confused, no wonder. If only my parents hadn't came. Now, this is hella ridiculous. And it's not easy, having him so close and not being able to touch him. I don't want to touch him. And I don't want him to touch me. But when he stares at me the way he does, I can't think clearly. And the worst part is, I have no idea why.

💍

I exhale deeply before I enter my house.
- Mom ? Dad ? Are you guys here ?
I scream and close the door behind me.
- They're not.
Aaron says appearing in front of me, smiling.
- Where are they ?
I ask him.
- Um...they went downtown I think. They thought of waiting for you but I told them, that we had other plans anyway.
I smile.
- Thank you. That was an innocent lie anyway.
Aaron frowns.
- Which lie ? We've got other plans.
I look at him shocked.
- Excuse me ?
- I suggested we do something together yesterday and you said yes.
- I didn't say yes.
- Maybe you didn't, but you implied it.
I look at him seriously.
- Aaron, no! We're not a couple. Why should we do things together ?
- We shouldn't.
- Exactly what I'm saying.
- Just for tonight. We're going for dinner. Get ready, I'm waiting for you.
I sigh.
- As if you take no for an answer.
I say, trying to hide my laugh.
- You know me that good. Do we know each other ?
- That's how you make the girls fall for you ?
I ask.
- No. I've got other skills.
I frown.
- You're not that good, you know.
- Who told you, I was referring to sex ?
He snaps.
- Who told you, I was referring to sex either ?
I snap back, placing a small kiss in his lips, making my way to my room.
- Don't be too late!
He screams. I close my room's door and slide against it. I feel butterflies in my stomach. I didn't even feel that way on our very first date.
- What the hell are you doing to me ?
I whisper, burying my face in my hands.

💍

After sometime, I exit my room, being ready. Aaron's sitting on my couch, checking at his phone. He glances at me, then drops his gaze to his phone, and then as if proceeding what he had just seen, stares back at me again, his jaw dropping open.
- You are...
He starts, then swallows hard. I smile.
- I am what ?
- Um...good. Good. You're good.
I give him a brief smile and wear my high heels. Aaron's eyes, doesn't leave me at any minute. He swallows audibly. I check at him, while putting on my earrings. I turn to face him.
- I'm ready.
I say smiling. Aaron approaches me and with no warning he grabs my waist and places his lips on mine. He parts my lips with his tongue and kisses me intensively. When he pulls away, we're both breathless.
- I'm ready too.
He says grabbing my hand, leading me out of the door.

💍

The restaurant Aaron had chosen is very beautiful. Never letting go of my hand, he leads me inside of it. When Aaron says his name, the guy on the entrance leads us to the terrace. It's empty, in comparison to the rest of the restaurant and you can see the whole London from there.
- It's...so beautiful.
- The truth is...this is where our club organizes the events...and stuff.
He pauses when understanding that I pay much more attention to the view than to him.
- I love it Aaron.
I simply say. He looks pleased with himself. We sit to our table, and I continue stare at the view. Aaron's eyes are on me and I turn to face him.
- I'm glad you like it.
He says.
- It's so beautiful...thank you.
I squeeze his hand. His eyes look at me with...lust ? I can't really tell. He smiles at me.
- You're beautiful. Really beautiful.
- You're not bad yourself.
- I...I think...I...
- Louisa!
We both turn to see Vanessa and Mesut holding hands just having arrived.
- I thought this was going to be with us two only.
I whisper to Aaron.
- That wasn't planned Louisa, I promise.
He mumbles. Vanessa approaches us, her eyes open wide.
- Are you on a date ?
She asks. I want to die. Right now. How can you explain this ?
- I know that you don't believe it, but no. We're not on a date. In fact, if you don't mind, come sit with us!
I offer, being completely desperate. Vanessa's hesitant but they accept the offer.
- I've never been to a double date.
Vanessa exclaims happily.
- It's not a double date. Me and Aaron are certainly not dating.
I state, as the waiter comes and fills our glasses.
- Louisa, you work both long hours. I hardly see Vanessa at home.
Mesut says. I laugh at his sayings.
- I'm not the boss there.
I reply. Aaron's watching me carefully. And so does Vanessa. Her eyes open wide and Aaron coughs to clear his throat and to draw my attention. I look at him. He's trying to tell me something but I don't understand. He's constantly pointing at my neck in a discreet way, but I have no clue what he's trying to say. Vanessa rolls her eyes and speaks finally.
- He's trying to tell you to cover your neck, so for us not to notice the hickeys that are all over it.
She says and I swallow hard. I laugh awkwardly.
- These are definitely not hickeys.
I state.
- And how do you like to call them ? Love marks ? That's why you had this scarf all over your neck today and why you didn't let me try it.
She replies, satisfied with herself that she understood what was going on. I can see Mesut winking at Aaron and the smirk on Aaron's face. Apparently I'm the only one here who's feeling way too awkward. I glare at Aaron and he gives me a rather apologetic look.
- I know what you're thinking, but this is definitely not true. Aaron can confirm that we're not together, right Aaron ?
I ask, looking at him. Aaron frowns and I know he won't support me in that.
- I'd like to tell her that Louisa, but there are proofs in your entire neck that this is a lie, so what will be the point ?
I kick him under the table, but he just smiles, being satisfied with my reaction.
- I knew it.
Vanessa replies happily. I glare at Aaron and he winks at me, which makes me even more furious. He does this to prove himself, obviously. While Aaron and Mesut chat, Vanessa finds the right opportunity to whisper in my ear.
- You forgave him ?
- Vanessa, Aaron and I are certainly not a thing, I promise. We act up, because of my parents, they don't even know we have ever broken up.
- Your parents ?
She asks cocking a brow.
- Yes. They don't know that we have broken up, the only one that knows is my sister and, you know my parents came to visit me as a surprise and because I don't want to disappoint them, I asked Aaron to help me again.
- Again ?
She asks confused. I glare at her.
- We pretended to be married when we went in Wales too. We went for a funeral, and we had to act up even then.
I explain. Vanessa thinks of it a little, then looks at me.
- The problem Louisa is though, that your parents are not here at the moment.

Hello guys, thanks for the support in my story! And I hope you're having a great summer!
