No. I need him to.
I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers in the small hairs at the back of his head.
He pulls back way too soon, his eyes shining bright. “Go.”
I frown. What?
Why is he stopping?
“If you don’t leave now, I’m fucking you right here where your guardians will see us.”
Oh.
I forgot that we’re in front of my house.
“I’ll count to three.” He tilts his head. “One… three.”
I snatch my backpack and open the door with flustered fingers.
A heartfelt chuckle follows me as I jump to the pavement in front of my house.
Aiden rolls down the window of his car.
I freeze.
He’s smiling.
Aiden has a wide, heart-stopping smile on his lips. It takes everything in me not to go back in there and watch it up close.
Kiss it.
Memorise it.
“Night, sweetheart. I miss you already.”
And then his car disappears down the road.
I stand rooted there, gaping after him like an idiot.
I’m so fucking screwed over Aiden King.

“You like literally kicked her arse!” Kim jumps up and down, punching the air. “Damn. I wish I was there to see the bitch queen having her arse kicked!”
I groan. She wouldn’t let me live it down since I told her what happened yesterday — without the sex part or the part about how sore I am this morning.
“It’s not something I’m proud of.” I hold the math book close to my chest. “I mean, I don’t want to apologise to her, but I feel like I owe her something.”
“You owe her fuck.” Kim jumps in front of me, stopping me in my tracks. “Did she apologise to you for all the bullying? Or for having her minions make your life hell? No, and hell to the no. Besides, she had it coming. Gosh. I wish I saw the look on her face when you went berserk on her.”
“Kim!”
“She’s a bitch, okay? You don’t feel sorry for bitches.”
She’s right. Silver has always made our lives hell.
