STUCK WITH YOU - CHAPTER 37&38

The motorbike kept speeding crazily.

Sia eyes were tight shut as Aaron drove speedingly into the streets of Newyork.

The street lights were glimmering across the open road,the night breeze chilled through Sia’s exposed thighs and she clutched tightly to Aaron.

The tip of her hair kept flying with the wind.

It felt so peaceful. Just perfect.

They’ve been silent since they got on the road,half an hour ago.

This way no one asked anything, and she didn’t bother to,she didn’t want to be in his black list,even though she probably has a special place there for her crazy guts.

Sia gently pulled off her helmet and her hair flowed completely with the wind.

“So cold….d”Sia whispered,a wide smile crossed her red lips.

Aaron stared at her through the mirror and smirked.

He suddenly stepped on the speed and Sia hit hard against him and the helmet fell off the bike.

“Huh!”Sia gasped nervously.

Her right hand clutched his jacket fearfully ,and her left hand on her hoodie.

His cold burnt rose aura hit her nose and she bit her lips hard,it’s crazy each time she perceives it,everything crazily possible comes to her head. Gosh!

The speed bike came to a speeding halt in front of the old mansion.

They both got down and walked silently to the door.

Aaron pressed the door bell and they just stood waiting.

Sia’s shirt suddenly moved wiredly,Aaron eyes squinted on her chest and her eyes widened.

A little paw suddenly popped out and Aaron eyes went wide.

“Spice! Be gentle…”Sia whispered,she gently pulled the puppy out her chest.

Aaron’s brows furrowed wiredly.His eyes were squinted on the feline.

“It was in there all this while?”Aaron blinked.

“You were counting so I didn’t have time to drop off,it’s your fault”Sia mumbled,gently carresing the pups fur.

Aaron brows furrowed even more,it was in there,on her chest? Nasty thoughts kept taunting his mind.

“Where did you see that?”Aaron suddenly asked.

“It’s not yours,she was the last one and way too expensive,so….I stole her…”Sia said sharply,Aaron eyes went wide and he shook his head.

“I was wrong to think you’re crazy,it’s an understatement, you’re totally nuts”Aaron muttered.

The door opened and Mrs Bella eyes brightened.

“You actually brought her?”Mrs Bella beamed.

Sia blinked confusedly and turned to face Aaron.

“You don’t need to be confused dear,I asked him to bring you over for the weekend”Mrs Bella said.

“Next time,I’ll rethink it”Aaron scoffed and walked inside.

Sia stuck out her tongue at him,but obviously when he had his back on her,Mrs Bella chuckled.

“I was preparing to make dinner but since you’re here you can help me out”Mrs Bella.

“Ohh….”Sia uttered and stepped in,the door shut loudly behind.

“Who eats this late though?”Sia mumbled.

“Sklye has a meeting and if he doesn’t eat,he gets grumpy”Mrs Bella smiled.

“A meeting this night?”Sia blinked.

“It was supposed to be a secret takeover transfer,but Skyle found out”Mrs Bella sighed.

“I’m scared if he doesn’t ear there might be bloodshed”Bella continued.

“I’ve witnessed it”Sia mumbled.

Mrs Bella turned to face with a calm look.

“And you aren’t scared?”Mrs Bella asked carefully.

“Everyone has a reason behind their present state,I guess that’s why I’m not scared?”Sia shurgged,her fingers caressing into the pups fur.

Mrs Bella smiled even wider.

♧OLD ALLEY,NEVERN STREET♧
▪︎SAGE’S RESIDENCE▪︎
Sage pushed the wooden door,and it creaked open.

“Sage is that you?”Sage mom asked.

Sage walked on quickly and dropped her bag on the dusty sofa. Particles of messy dust blew into the air and Sage sneezed.

“You should have informed me you were coming,I would have cleaned up your room”Sage mom said.

“No need mom,I only came to see how brother is doing,where is brother?”Sage asked impatiently.

“He has been in his room since yesterday,he had an argument with the neighbours,they called him ‘crippled’ and he has been refusing to eat”Sage mom sighed.

Sage rushed to the room hurriedly,she pushed the door open and met her brother seated in a corner.

He was on wheelchair,he kept staring out the window.

“Egg?”Sage called carefully.

He quickly wipped off his tears and turned to face her.

“Sis you’re here?”Nathan mumbled.

They looked so much alike,one would even mistake them for twins. Nathan looked two years younger though,his messy bangs covering his face.

“Mom said you haven’t been eating? Why?”Sage scolded .

“I’m not hungry”Nathan muttered.

“Why? Because those nerds called you crippled? I’ll burst their brains I promise,just tell me when”Sage frowned in a murderous tone.

Nathan bursted out in laughter.

“You’re crazy,you still haven’t changed”Nathan chuckled.

Sage smiled satisfactorily.

“But I’m seruous,I’d even ki|| for you”Sage said patting his hair fondly.

“Is thay why you agreed to attend ritz?”Nathan asked carefully.

“Don’t think too much,just eat and take your drugs on time” Sage uttered dryily.

“Sage? I told you to let go of the past,I’m alive and that’s most important “Nathan smiled charmingly.

“I wouldn’t really have to do anything now,there is a new diva in ritz and she’s showing all of them their places,but I won’t be satisfied until I get your murderer punished”Sage smiled,patting his hair gently.

“No….promise me you won’t do that”Nathan half snapped.

Sage kept quite and turned away.

“Promise me,Sage or I won’t eat at all”Nathan pouted.

Sage nodded and pecked his forehead gently.

The door opened and their mom walked in with a tray.

“I brought his meal”Sage mom said.

“Bring it here,Sage will feed me”Nathan pouted.

“He is taking advantage now”Sage scoffed and took the tray.

♧PRESTON’S MANSION♧
The dining hall was decked beautifully and the maids stood at each corner of the room.

The long table was filled to the edge with different meals,different delicacies and the best wines.

Purple candle lights shimmered after each set,the chandelier glimmering above the table.

Mrs Preston and Mr Preston were seated already,and some maids were busy serving them.

“Where is my daughter?”Mrs Preston asked.

“She came an hour ago ma’am,she’s currently in her room getting ready”A maid bowed.

Mrs Preston nodded and picked her glass gently.

“She won’t come down,I’m sure of that,she never listens to any of us”Mr Preston scoffed.

“Maybe if you acted a bit cultured,she’d think of listening to you”Mrs Preston smirked.

“She doesn’t listen to you either,we aren’t different in this”Mr Preston scoffed.

Heavy heel steps descended the stairs and they both looked up.

From afar Anaya didn’t look to excited,her eyes were blunt.

She walked silently to the table and took a seat at the other end of the room.

“You should have come on time,we’ve been waiting for half an hour now”Mr Preston said.

“Atleast she came,keep shut and let’s eat in peace”Mrs Preston snapped.

“How dare you ask me to keept shut!!”Mr Preston snapped madly.

Anaya fisted her cutlery tightly, and bit her lips hard.

Her heels hitting the ground impatiently.

“Where is my friend?!”A man yelled joyfully from the door.

“George!! My friend!”Mr Preston smiled widely,he stood up and walked to them.

Lennox walked in next with his mum ,and Anaya smiled sadly.

Lennox gave her a wink and she smiled a bit.

“Come,Come join us,we were just about to have dinner”Mr Preston said.

They all settled on the dining table.

“What’s up cous?”Lennox winked and sat beside her.

“You saved my skin today,I thought I’d burst very soon”Anaya sighed.

“I can understand”Lennox chuckled.

“No you can’t,it’s hard to breathe when they argue like that”Anaya mumbled.

Lennox pat her back gently,she shrugged his hand off and rolled her eyes.

“So how has business been? I heard the shareholders were stocked last week”Mr George said.

“Yes but we need more investors before we can start with the new project” Mr Preston muttered.

“Maybe if you focused more on the idea I presented we won’t be flowing down with losses”Mrs Preston smriked.

Mr Preston hit the table violently and Anaya flinched.

“Woman! If you don’t know how to keep shut that hell hole,I’ll do it myself!”Mr Preston snapped.

“Why? You don’t want your daughter knowing you sleep with every female worker that crosses your path?”Mrs Preston snapped.

“How does that have to do with this?!”Mr Preston yelled madly,he hit the table even louder.

Everyone stood up except Anaya,her head was bowed on the table and tears trickled down her puffy face.

“Pres….calm down” George said gently.

“Don’t stop him! He’s a coward, he can’t even raise a glass,what will he do?!”Mrs Preston chuckled mockingly.

“You filthy wh-_-re! You think I didn’t know? You slept with the minister! So what makes you a saint!!”Mr Preston yelled madly.

Mrs Preston glared h@??fully, she picked a bowl of punch and threw it across the room. It poured on Mr Preston.

“f-__-k!”Lennox bursted out in laughter,his mom smacked his head immediately.

Mr George eyes widened as the purple liquid wet down his friends body.

“Ha! Ha!”Mrs Preston laughed out hysterically.

SNIFF!

Anaya bursted out the tears she’s been holding in.

Everyone turned to her with wide eyes.

Anaya slwoly stood up and glared madly across the room.

She picked up a glass cup and threw it across the room and everyone gasped,but she didn’t stop there.

“Darling!”Mrs Preston gasped.

Anaya picked up the various dishes and began tossing them across the room.

“There! There! Over there! Isn’t that what you wanted? A mad house right? Well guess what one more member has joined!!”Anaya snapped.

“Ana….”

“No let me speak,no one is gonna stop me today,I’ve had enough!”Anaya cut Lennox off sharply.

“I’m fed up! I’m fed up of coming here just to witness you two fight like animals! I thought you’d both eventually stop and be the normal parents I wanted,but you were never that! I can’t even bring my friends over! You know why? Cos my parents embarrass me,I’m ashamed of calling you both my parents!”Anaya yelled madly.

“Darling…..”

“Don’t call me that! That’s all you say! Darling this! Darling that! Darling get a new shoe! Darling go shopping! Darling wear the finest dress,my friends are coming over! It’d never been Darling are you hurt? Oh Darling you went to school today what happened? It has never been that,I’ve only been a trophy daughter to you two! You both are the most selfish souls I’ve come across!”Anaya screamed madly, and fell roughly against the chair.

Her head hit the glass table aggressively and blood slipped out her forehead.

Lennox eyes went wide.

“Darling!….”

“Baby.!…”

Anaya raised her hand and shook her head.

“It’s too late to heal rotten wounds,I’m never coming back to this house. Don’t call or text its of no use,I’m done”Anaya muttered coldly.

“Lennox,please take me back to college”Anaya mumbled.

Lennox walked to were she stood,he pulled her out the chair and carried her in his arms.

He began walking out and Anaya loud sniffs followed.

Mr George sighed.

“Arrange your house hold Preston or you might lose the poor girl forever,she’s been through a lot watching you both act childish”George said and walked out.

♧SKYLE’S MANSION;OLD PENTHOUSE♧
Sia held the tray carefully as she walked down the direction of Aaron’s room.

It’s a really big mansion,so it took a while to get to the master’s bedroom.

She got to the door and stood there nervously.

“I just hope he doesn’t flare up”Sia muttered.

KNOCK!!

There was no reply,she took in gentle breathes and pushed the door open gently,she walked in gently.

Aaron stood in front of the mirror,he was dressed in a black suite,and he looked dangerously dashing.

His black hair covered part of his face,so she couldn’t see his left eye.

He looked like he had problems knotting the tie.

Sia dropped the tray on the table and turned back to him.

He already knotted it,but it didn’t look like a tie.

Sia chuckled and Aaron faced her with a cold stare, she coughed out abruptly and blinked innocently.

He scoffed and turned back to the mirror.

“I can help? If you want or I’ll just leave”Sia mumbled. Aaron dropped his hands and her eyes slowly went wide.

“I’m getting late princess….”Aaron muttered.

Sia walked to him quickly,she held up the tangled tie and a mocking smirk played on her lips.

She began untangling the knots and after few loose,she began knotting it gently.

Aaron eyes were stuck on her,with a bemused smile.

Sia knot in the last hoop and made to drop the tie,but one of his tats caught her attention.

BLUE EYES.

Sia kept staring carefully,her eyes caught another one,in a heart shape.

PINK LIPS.

Her head banged a little,and she shut her eyes gently.

“Aren’t you done? Or you’re gonna keep staring”Aaron’s cold voice hit her ears and that when she snapped out of thought.

She moved back and dropped her hands.

“It nice”Aaron muttered and Sia frowned madly.

“It’s nice? A simple thank you would do atleast”Sia scoffed.

“I didn’t ask you to help,you got tempted to come closer to me and found a reasonable excuse to do that,you should be the one thanking me”Aaron scoffed.

Sia frowned even madder,her nose burning red.

Aaron chuckled amusingly and Sia eyes widened.

“I made you laugh?”Sia eyes widened.

“What? Your dreams”Aaron scoffed and Sia rolled her eyes at him.

“Did you just roll your eyes at me princess? I can make them roll in other ways”Aaron smirked and Sia hicupped.

Aaron chuckled again,but frowned immediately he realised.

“Why are you here?”Aaron asked changing the topic.

“Mrs Bella asked me to bring you food before you left, unless they’d be bloodshed”Sia muttered plainly.

Aaron stared amusingly at her,her guts,the way she made her sentence even after everything he’s done in front of her. He had to admit it was cute…….

“What am i a thinking?”Aaron frowned inwardly.

“Atleast smile a bit unless you’ll get wrinkles before me”Sia scoffed,she walked out.

“Why did I even say that, now he’ll ki|| me for sure”Sia bit her lips in a pout.

Aaron still stood there,his face was blank and cold.

“TRY SMILING A BIT HEARTBEAT ,UNLESS YOU’LL GET WRINKLES BEFORE ME”the little girl voice rang in his head.

He stared at his tats through the mirror and sighed.

His childhood friend_____

She was the reason he had all these tats,every tat represented one of her feature. Every single one and he couldn’t even begin to count.

His phone suddenly rang snapping him out of thought.

📲Boss! Somehow they found out you were coming and changed the meeting location.

📲Do you have the new location?

📲Yes boss,I’m there now,sending location now.

Aaron cut the call,he turned to leave when he noticed Sia laying fast asleep in his bed.

He frowned deeply.

When did she get back in here?

“She isn’t even scared on bit”Aaron scoffed.

He turned to leave but stopped,all the AC were on and it was really cold just the way he liked it.

Sia kept shivering in bed,he sighed and walked to the bed ,and pulled the duvet over her.

“You didn’t pull it uo completely,it’s cold”Sia mumbled sleepily.

“Her guts”Aaron frowned deeply and walked out.
