Can't Hide Forever

Chapter 15

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, nothing special has happened, I have not heard anything from my dad, my mum was still away and Josh had left me alone. The only person I was worried about now is, Cee Cee. She could ruin me with the information that she knows.

I have been spending a lot of time with Aiden, Alana and James. I loved Alana like she was my sister. We were talking on the phone to arrange our shopping trip. I got up from my bed and walked to the bathroom, I had to come in here because Aiden was sitting on my bed. I wanted to talk to Alana without Aiden listening.

"So em, I was thinking that it was time for... you know" I said quietly.

"You have been dating for what like, 7 months, how have you not jumped his bones already"? Alana laughed.

"OK Alana, calm down" I couldn't help but laugh at my crazy best friend. "I've never had sex before so that is probably how I have avoided it this long, I've never found the guy who I could trust entirely with me. But Aiden, he's well, he's different, I like the way he makes me feel. I know in my heart that Aiden is the one for me. So, you going to help me or continue to laugh at me"

"Ok Ok sorry, but this is so exciting, we need to get you some new lingerie when we go shopping" she squeaked again.

"Right, we will do that tomorrow, I just need to try and get Aiden to stay here".

"Just tell him you going shopping for lady stuff, he will back off quickly" she laughed.

"Haha you're too funny, I will tell him that. Pick you up at 10 then Ok"

"Yeah sure, see you then, bye" she hung up the phone and I made my way back to Aiden.

I walked in my room to find him looking at my calander that was hanging up on the wall. He looked at me "Why didn't you tell me it was your birthday was on Saturday"?

I didn't know what to say so I just told him the truth. "I don't celebrate my birthdays anymore, never had since I was 5. That was the first time that my dad had hit me, he hit me so hard that I fell on my wrist and my bone popped out" I held up my wrist to show him the scar that was there. "It is just a reminder of what kind of man my father really is, I just like to forget, so that is why I don't celebrate my birthday. It is far too hard to remember that the man you love and adore is meant to protect you from the world, keep you safe, scare all the boys away from you when you are growing up. A man that is meant to love you unconditionally. And, what did I get? A father that hates me, likes to beat me even when I'm on the ground in so much agony that he doesnt care" I didn't know I was crying until Aiden stepped forward and wiped away my tears.

"Shh baby, it's OK, we can start to make our own memories" he winked at me rubbing my cheek, leaving a small chuckle coming from me.

"Thank you Aiden, for being there for me and my shoulder to cry on". I grabbed him round the waist and cuddled him so hard that I was thought I would break my arm sqeezing so tight. I was concentrating on his hand that is on my cheek, I get these sparks going off, it feels really nice. This is a feeling that I have never felt before, what is it? My heart beats ten times faster everytime he looks at me. He makes me feel safe and secure. he is so gentle and patient with me. 'OMG I think I'm in love with Aiden Mathews'.

So me and Alana were on our way the shopping mall, we went into every store to find the perfect outfit. we went into a store called A'gaci and found the perfect dress it was a white lace dress that came just above my thighs. It was perfect, all I had to to do was find the right shoes, underwear and jewellery. So we continued on our search. I found the perfect shoes to match, they were silver with little straps. So I have my dress and shoes. Time for some lingerie shopping. 'This should be a laugh' I thought to myself.

We made our way to Victoria's Secret. I have never had to buy underware for this before so I was unsure of what to buy, Alana however, looked like she was in her element. We must have spent about 45 minures in the store before I finally found the most stunning corset I have ever seen. It was a lilac colour with white ribbon, and matching lilac bottoms. Alana done sone shopping for herself, I had about 3 bags compared to her 20. It turned out to be a great day, shopping and a bit of lunch.

We were on our way back to my house to put my shopping away, James' car was in the drive. I didn't know he was coming. We walked in and it was totally silent, we couldn't find the boys anywhere. We went outside to the pool and there they were, they both turned around at the same time to greet us. Alana walked ovet to James, she whispered something in his ear and his grin was quite contagious as I grinned too. I don't know what she said but I had a feeling I didn't want to know. I walked over to Aiden and gave him a kiss. "I missed you today" I whispered to him. He replied by giving a deep and hungry kiss. He totally missed me too, I but all grinned once again.

"Remember what I had said earlier about starting new memories, well I think we should start by me taking you out for your birthday on Saturday, what you say"?

"I would love too" I replied softly.

We spent the rest of the day lounging by the pool, then we settled on watching The Notebook. I told Alana and James that they could have Aidens room, I don't think he minded though as he has been spending every night in my room with me. I couldn't help but wonder what he has got planned for tomorrow, I know I'm making the right decision, he is definitely the man for me. We got in to my bed and like every other night, he brought my back to his chest so we were very close. I don't know what I will do when he starts to stay back at his own house. I will miss his warmth and his cuddles, he is so cuddley you would never guess.

So... what you al think? Good or bad? Please let me know. I knew it's a wee bitty short, sorry but I hope you all enjoy anyway :-)
