Connor on the side, I don't really like using really famous people but it was him or Ed Sheeran and well I thought Rupert was better, and I don't know any other male red heads.

_________________________________________________

Over the next few days I spend every waking hour with Aiden. I didn’t have another conversation with Matt. Anna had talk to me a few times, but both Matt and Haley would walk out the room every time I enter. Aiden ends up falling asleep on my bed and I snuggle with him, resting my head on his chest. He’s gone by the time I wake up and sends a text telling me to meet him at the house.

My father’s calls me that day and the conversation hadn’t gone too well. It wasn’t so much that I like a guy or that I got caught kissing him on camera. It was the fact that every gossip magazine around the world had seems to pick the dirt about Aiden. He had a criminal record and I will just leave it at that.

He may have told me about the cocaine at Eaton, but the reason he didn’t tell me anything else, is because a school when he was sixteen he was expelled due to rape. He was put in a correctional fatuity for the next year and when I asked him about it. He told me that he may abuse girls, but he will never rape one again that is the biggest mistake of his life. The girl was thirteen and I didn’t want to know his entire pass because I knew some of it would be bad. According to him, he didn’t know how old she was, as far as he knew, he thought she was sixteen. He used her and she got mad when forcing himself on her. He slept with her and then a week later he was brought to court. I knew he meant everything he said about not wanting that to happen again because I could almost see the tears in his eyes.

My dad had shouted at me and I felt my heart break. He never shouts at me. So after the phone call I got changed and made my way to Aiden’s where I have spent the past three days, shut up with him in his house. I knew he was getting irritated with my behaviour. So, on the third day, I curl up with him on the sofa when he told me to get changed and that we are going to a party. I’d blink a lot and he presses his lips to mine and says.

“Bella, you are pissing me off and you are not having any fun so go and get change.” I’d been borrowing his sister clothes over the past few days and after talking to her a few times she was really sweet. She wasn’t anything like Aiden, but I found I had a lot in common with her. Also, her fashion tense was amazing.

I walk up the stairs and into her room. Alexis is lying on her beat typing on her laptop. She smiles at me and sits up before saying.

“So, Bella my brother is taking you out.” I nod before chewing on my lip. She stands up and opens up her wardrobe before saying. “Honey, I’m not going to be harsh or anything, but you need to have some fun. You’ve been moping around.” She pulls out a little black dress and a pair of stilettos. She also, pulls out a denim jacket. “Look. You are a good girl, but are that really a bad thing. My brother will make you someone you hate. Just live a little you’re only eighteen.” I smile at her and hug her before walking out the room and in to a guestroom. I strip off the clothes and fold them on to the bed. I pull on my dress, shoes, and jacket before walking back down. Aiden is leaning against the wall and smiles as I approach him.

“That’s better.” He pushes me against the wall and kisses me; he seems to be getting all his frustration by kissing me. He says taking my lips in his. The kiss is short and sweet and I still couldn’t get use to the way he always made me smile. He wraps his arm around me and he mummers against my lips. “You know I said I have a list that I want you to complete you still haven’t done any of it so, maybe tonight will be the night we start.” I smile at him and let him lead me out the house. I expect him to walk to his bike, but he carries on walking down the street.

There’s been a lot of mention of us in magazines over the past few days. Although no new pictures have surface mainly because I haven’t gone out of Mayfair since I left the apartment. I end up reading a few fan sites; yes apparently I have a fan base that I didn’t have a clue. Most of the people there were saying that we look good together, but I could do better. Others were saying as long as I’m happy that’s fine. There were a couple names which was Beden, which apparently was a name of a vessel in east Africa.

Aiden had a very light approach to the whole thing. He relaxes, for once and he didn’t seem to mind that his record’s being published for the world to see. Saying that, some good things did turn up.  “Look it all turn out for the best.”  I smile at him and he was to a house. He knocks on the door and a few seconds later it opens. A girl with red hair opens it. Her hair went just below her waist. She has one of those looks which made me think of the fifties, it was sort of vintage and she wearing an outfit that complemented this feel very well. It was of beige color and knee length. She smiles at Aiden and pulls him into a hug.

“Aiden you live down the road and I feel like I haven’t seen you in months.”

“Hey Gracie, yeah I’m sorry about that. I’m here known you really think I was going to miss your 21st birthday.” Her eyes flicker to me again.

“I was wondering when I was going to meet you. It’s so nice to meet you.” She says pulling me in to a rather awkward hug. Sure I was use to random people coming up to me and wanting a hug, but that hadn’t happened in a while and this was one of Aiden’s friends and I had no idea who she was. She’s just hugging me.

“Hey. So your name is Gracie right?’ she nods and opens the door into a similar hallway of Aiden’s house. Aiden pulls me in and there are loads of people, everywhere. Aiden kept hold of my hand and we wonder through the house.  He pushes me against a wall and presses his lips to mine. This is clearly just for show, as his lips against mine are rough.

“Come on babe.”

“You know you have no claim to the word babe because you haven’t actually asked me.” I say pressing my lips to his and I hear a light chuckle.

“I don’t have girlfriends.” He snaps like this I should keep asking him about committing to me. The last few days he had been using me to make-out with. He then disappear at night and then come back early in the morning. He would smell of sex, and alcohol and he would wake me up and kiss me, making me feel uncomfortable.

“Yes, but you might as well with me I mean you get caught with another girl then you look like the ass.” I say and he just looks even more pissed off by this. He just glares at me not really sure what to say.

“Look get it through your head Isabelle you are just some chick and unless you want to go back and face your cousin, then I guess you stop annoying me with those sorts of comments.” I’m hurt; he didn’t know that he makes me want to cry.

I didn’t like these sorts of people because I had watch people around me do exactly want I was doing only to fall flat on their face. Anna use to only date bad boys, I wouldn’t say they were worst than Aiden, because I think he makes them seem like butterfly’s. After the fourth guy she was left in tears, heartbroken and that’s when the whole party/sleeping around came about. She maybe my best friend but I could never understand why she would start acting like that just because of a guy. Yet here I am, standing in front of a guy I may or may not have feelings for and he is treating me as if I am nothing more than dirt. I just give him a faint smile and say.

“Totally.”

“Good.” He says, taking his lips in mine. It’s a little rough and I know this boy needs something more than this kiss. The kiss was rough, and he was almost crushing me in his arms. I did wonder what us kissing looks like from the outsiders view point as every time we kiss it was rough, it as if we just kissing because we wanted the feeling. I push myself against him, and I could feel his hear beat below my head which was now resting under my hand. He kisses me back and his hands go to my waist where I feel him play with the top of my shorts.

“Get a room.” Aiden pulls away from him. My eyes stay on him and I see the feeling of hate go across his face. I take his hand in mine and I look up and see a very good looking guy.. His hair was dark and was sticking up at the front. He was wearing a checked shirt, ¾ sleeves. His jeans were low, but held by a belt. Aiden leans into me.

“Nathan Shaw.” I nod my head and my eyes flicker to Aiden. His whole body has tighten up and I knew he didn’t like the guy standing feet away from us and he didn’t like Aiden much either. There is most likely some rivalry between the two boys, and I’m just an outsider trying to get a bit of information.

Aiden may have told me that he had been expelled from school after school, and he told me most of the reasons and I felt warm when he opened up. I had been in the same school system ever since I started at the age of five. I remember the paparazzi following me on my first day of school. It’s one of the few memories I have of school at age, my father kept the clippings from the magazine they were published in. He said this is one reason he likes the fame, which every experience his daughter has will end up in the pages of a magazine.

Now I bet he’s regretting, because I’m connected with this boy, who seem to hide so much from the world. He seem to be going through a lot and because of his attitude he wasn’t about to emit to how he feels. He hates far too much and doesn’t open his heart. I may create a mess by being around him but all I really want is Aiden to be happy and I know I’m hurting so many people in trying to reach that goal.

“Long time no see and you brought Isabelle, how great is that.” I roll my eyes at this guy, who’s wearing a smirk. I rest my head on Aiden’s shoulder. Aiden pulls me closer to his body. “Although know I’m a little pissed off because I’m not the richest in the house now.” They clearly rang in the same social circle, that being so important when you have money to burn, it’s all about whom you know and how you act. They must be the rejects because every single one of them seems to be mixed with some sort of drinking problem, or drug use. Nathan had a small cut on his face and all I could think when I saw him, which he had found himself in some sort of gang. Unlike me, when I didn’t’ care how much money you had, Aiden’s ‘friends’ were clearly very different and so I couldn’t help but let the corners of my lips turn up. Aiden then grabs my arm, dragging me in to what I guess is the clock room. My back’s against the wall and I’m looking up at Aiden.

I’m in a state of shock by his reactions and before anything else am said. He pushes himself against me and runs his tongue across my lower lip. I wrap my arms around his neck and he pushes me against the wall with such force, and strength that he is determined to get all his frustration out and here was the perfect moment. His hands run up my leg and I begin to feel my body to tingle. Sure as much as I want to have §ex with him, I’d always been the type of person to wait for someone I was in a stable relationship with. Aiden and I are barely even friends so I hated him acting like I was just another girl when he’s doing so much for me.

I move his hands so it’s on my waist and pull myself away from him. My eyes flicker over his face and he looks a little annoyed by it.

“What are you doing?” I’m a little uncomfortable having him standing there clearly wanting to strip off my clothes. His hands on my waist, his lips just inches from mine. He is breathing against my skin and I squeeze my hands between us trying to get him to pull away from me a little. He looks at me and says.

“You think I’m an arse.” I slowly nod my head and every time he spoke I still couldn’t get over how amazing his accent was. Aiden looks at me and moves slightly apart letting me be able to breathe probably again. “He’s about ten times worst than me. I didn’t like him looking at you. I know we are having fun and I’m making you enjoy life, but Nathan is not good news. He will hurt you and he look like he wanted to rip all your clothes off. So, while you’re here, Promise me you won’t dare leave my side?” I nod my head I agreement and his lips brush over mine.

“You know you’re kind of sexy being all overprotective.” This makes him laugh and I cover my mouth after I notice what I’ve said. He kisses me on the temple. His locks his hand with mine and pulls me with him. We in to the living room and I see people everywhere. Aiden says hey to almost everyone we walk past. He pulls me into the kitchen. I see Gracie and who I would guess is her brother. He has same red hair as her, his eyes were similar colour, maybe a little darker. Gracie’s a little taller than him, but I guess it was because she was wearing heels.

“That’s Connor, Gracie’s brother.” I nod my head and the both turn to look at us. Gracie’s eyes flicker to Aiden. There is this really uncomfortable pause and my eyes flicker between the two people. Connor, I gather is about to open his mouth but Gracie cuts across and says.

“I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you, but um...” she doesn’t get to finish before Aiden is talking. I know he is mad because his body is tense and he is holding my hand a little too hard. I want to let out a squeak of pain but I don’t want to draw attention to me.

“Gracie, I think your judgment in guys has decreased every day, so really?” she seems a little hurts by those words and I knew this was about Nathan, maybe Gracie likes him and that is why Aiden and Nathan’s passes seems to have crossed again. Connor stands up and throwing a look at me he says.

“Aiden chill. I’ve given her all this before. Although Gracie I don’t really want him anywhere near us. Though Aiden I do have to wonder why you brought Isabelle here you know that’s not a good idea.” I’m a little confused by all the talk and I look at Connor who’s eyes are on me and he is mouth sorry like he wants to get those words out but he doesn’t really mean them.

“I love him though.” Gracie says trying to fight back some tears. I’m looking at her and I honestly believe here, she is in a relationship with Nathan and she’s getting her brother, and one of her closest friends hating him. I look back at Aiden rolls his eyes and my eyes flicker back to here, this time a tear leaves her eyes making its way down her face..

“If this guy really is a dick, then Gracie should find out for herself.” Both Connor and Aiden look at me. “I don’t know him so, shouldn’t I give you my opinion. From an outsider’s point of view. I am saying if he honestly cares about Gracie then he’s not going to hurt her.”

“This is why I hate being the only girl. Isabelle, have you ever been friends with someone, or wanted to be with someone. You were prepared to choose them over anyone else, even though there not perfect.” She says and I look at her. Tears are covering her face and I bite down on my lower lip knowing Aiden is looking at me. I hadn’t felt like that because I’d ever shown any interest in guys before. I look at her and say.

“Perfection is overrated. I’m dating Aiden and my friends and my dad are pissed because of it, but I know that they will be fine once I give them space. I’m sure he is not that bad.” I guess at the moment it looks like I’m doing that. Gracie tries to make a smile come to her face but it falls.

“Aiden’s a butterfly compared to Nathan.’ Gracie says, looking at Aiden who looks a little offended by this. I had no idea where the route course of why Aiden and Nathan hate each other but I could see the angry in Aiden’s eyes every time his name was mentioned. He didn’t like hearing his name, and he didn’t like looking at him.

“Gracie you know that’s a lie.” Aiden says looking at her like he wasn’t to make her know how bad she really is. Gracie shrugs her shoulders and then walks towards Aiden a few steps before she says.

“Maybe. Although Aiden if you are going to hate on him then I am allowed to say what a low life slut Vanessa is and she is most likely lying in a gutter. She can’t keep her legs close.” I thought Gracie would be the one who keeps all the boys grounded but maybe she wasn’t maybe she’s been pulled under, like the rest of them. Aiden looked like he was going to hit her, his hands were no longer in mine and he was trying to keep his ground. The tension wouldn’t be able to cut it. I bite down on my lower lip and look at Aiden before saying.

“Who Vanessa?”

“The girl he dated before you. She’s a total slut, but she’s the girl who made him who is now. She really nice and everything to us, but a bitch and slut to everyone else.” Connor says. Gracie clearly didn’t like her very much and Aiden had mentioned two girlfriends but hadn’t really talked about more than his first one and so I didn’t have a clue about Vanessa. He was angry about her name being brought up and I thought maybe Aiden had really strong feelings for her that he had never emitted to anyone.’

“She’s not that bad, she has some problems that are all.” Aiden says and Gracie raises her eyes browns before going to sit on the kitchen counter. At the moment Nathan walks into the room and he looks at me, his eyes running up my body, before glaring at Aiden. He walks over to Gracie and kisses her on the cheek, he mutters something and she walks out the room.  Nathan pushes himself on to the counter and he glares at Aiden. I feel Aiden tense up next to me. Before I know what’s happen, I’m push to the side and Aiden punched Nathan in the face.

“You fucking dick how you dare show your face around here.” Nathan takes a swing at Aiden, but misses; Connor tries to pull Aiden back, but fails. Just then another figure comes running in and he pulls Nathan away and shouts.

“Isabelle control Aiden.” I see Oscar pushing Nathan out the room as he shouts at me. I stand in front of him and his eyes flicker to me.

“Aiden, look at me you don’t need to do this.”

“Bells, you don’t understand.” He says his eyes are going to Nathan, who is currently being held back by Oscar. I didn’t understand because Aiden wasn’t an open book, he scraps the surface of his life but doesn’t go any deeper. So I look at him and I say and I’m almost shouting it out at him.

“Then tell me. Aiden tell me, tell me why you hate him so much. Yes he’s a jerk. I can tell you that at first sight.” Aiden smirks when I say jerk, but he then just throws a look at Nathan before looking back at me. My hands were on his chest, preventing him from running to attack Nathan.

“Can we go?”  I nod my head and press my lips to his. I smile at take his hand and pull him out the house, without looking at anyone. Once we are back on the street, I look at Aiden and see that he did get it, his eyes is a little red and I look at him and say.

“Aiden, I want to know.”

“He dated my sister when we were at school together this was about five years ago. Anyways he assaulted her, which included sexual and I’ve never like him. You can understand.” I nod my head. I felt bad for him now and I went to wrap my arms around his shoulders giving him a hug. He wraps his arms around me and mummers to me.

“I’ll come around here tomorrow to say sorry for you and I’ll talk to Gracie, she needs a friend Aiden. It sucks being the only girl.” He smiles and kisses me on the cheek.

“Come on let’s go home.” Our hands entwine together and I rest my head on his shoulder. I let him pull me to his house and I feel myself happy when he’s holding me.  He pulls me into the house and I hear my heels upon the floor. Alexis comes into the room and her eyes go between us.

“Hey guys I thought you would crash at the McCoy’s house.”

“Nathan was there.” Aiden mutters and I see the scarred expression cross her face. “Gracie’s dating him.” he says. He pulls me up the stairs and into his bedroom. I had only been in his room a few times; we weren’t sleeping together because Aiden knew that I wasn’t that comfortable with him yet. Also he would get in so late that he didn’t want to wake me. I’m sleeping in the room next to him and therefore Aiden would come a wake me up. He would crawl into bed with me and press his lips to mine, and my eye lids would flutter open. Aiden’s mad I could see that in him. He sits down on his bed and burry’s his head in his hands. I sit down next to him and made circles on his back with my hand.

“Aiden it’s okay.” He looks at me and I see a small little child, scared and out of hope. I kiss him on the cheek and he smiles and sits up. I rest my hand on his face. “You sure you don’t want some ice for that.”

“Bella. I’m fine; do you think you can stay in here? I’ll sleep better knowing your right beside me?’ Aiden O’Sullivan, the bad boy of London, but right here rights now his ever so vulnerable. I nod my head and kiss him on the cheek. I didn’t know if it was about Nathan, I didn’t know if it was about the mention of his ex. He just looks like a small child and I couldn’t help but feel bad for him. His walls were coming down and there’s no way I can stop them.

“I’ll just go get my stuff.” He nods and I walk into the room next door. I throw my clothes off and fold them on the bed, taking a note that I should do some laundry tomorrow. I pull on a pair of shorts and a tank top, and once pulling my hair into a loose pony tail I walk back into Aiden’s room. His starring at his watch, in nothing more than a pair of boxers and I feel my cheeks flush with colour. I shut the door, taking the time to take a deep breath and walk over to Aiden, before bending down to plant a kiss on his cheeks.

“It’s early, but god I’m tired.” I smile at him and slide under the covers, he turns the light off before sliding next to me. I turn to face him and feel his breath against my skin.  “Your sexy, damn you’re sexy.” I let out a small giggle. I press my lips to his and he kisses me back, our kiss get’s deep and he rolls on to his back, my hand resting on his chest. His hand is place on my waist.

My mind was racing, my heart was beating fast and I was lying upon Aiden O’Sullivan who is clearly the hottest guy I’ve ever met. These kisses were more than our others, we’d never had a make-out session because I may be is his girlfriend, but that was label for the press. I’m not anything to him and I knew that, I knew that he had this power over me and if I didn’t pull away I was going to regret something. That thought was in the back of my mind and it was Aiden who pulled away. “we should stop because I think you could be a bitch if you tried”

“Guess I have you to blame. I’ll be a good girl then.” I said biting my lip, which in turn lead Aiden to groan.

“Don’t do that.” I let out a laugh and roll over. I rest my head on his chest and close my eyes.

“Isabelle.”

“Sleeping.” He laughs.

“Then night.” he brushes his lips over my cheek and the corner of my mouth turns up and I slowly drift to sleep.
