Take Me Home

Aiden Swan

Chapter Four: Aiden Swan

Colin and I sat under a tree, holding hands and smiling at people walking pass us. I don't know how I am suppose to feel after my meeting with Riley. I wonder how stupid she thinks I am. It's not like I haven't heard. I know Riley is in love with me. I'm not in love with her though. When I close my eyes, it's Colin I think about. Not Riley. I can't let her in. Not like that. Not like I can with Colin. Besides, when you start dating your best friend. Things change, shit happens. I can't risk losing Riley. Just like I need Colin and my razor. I need her too.

"Hey, so? What are we doing tomorrow? A little laser party?"

"Yeah, kinda a double date with other people." Colin chuckles.

"Who's all going?"

"Well, Oliver and Riley are going together. Not to mention. Max and Callum." Colin starts laughing.

"Max? Edwards? Doesn't he hate you?"

"I'm going for Riley." He lets go of my hand and groans.

"Riley. Riley. Riley. RILEY! Seriously, what makes her so special Aiden?" I chuckle.

"Funny, she asked the same thing about you."

"She has no right to question you. I'm your boyfriend. Who does she think she is? That fucking bitch." I turn to look at him.

"Do not call her that. Do you fucking understand me?" I practically shouted at him. Colin glared at me.

"Since when did she start meaning more to you than me? Like what the hell is this?"

"It's not even like that." Colin shook his head.

"Yes it is. I want you to choose, right now. It is going to be Riley or me?" I roll my eyes.

"You can't be serious."

Colin gets up. "If you can't choose then I suppose we are done." I felt my heart sank. I can't lose you. You can't fucking leave me.

"No, I can't. I choose you Colin. I love you." Colin stops and comes back and sits by me.

"Then I want you to stop talking to her. Do you understand me?"

"Okay," I whispered. We share a kiss. JUst what did I just agree to?

Meanwhile.....

"Come on in Riley, the water is great." Oliver shouted. Riley looked around, the building smelled like pool water. The room was hot. LIke a sansa. Oliver looked great in the water. His green eyes sparkling under his wet eyelids. She felt half naked, wearing her two piece panda suit. He told her she looked stunning  in it. She felt awkward.

"That's alright, I like watching you swim anyway." He chuckled.

"Don't tell me, you can't swim." Riley laughed.

"I can swim." She whispered. The water went platter platter as he swam towards the edge and climbed out. Riley had to catch her breath as he walked over to her. Dripping water and looking at her with her killer green eyes.

"Come swim with me," He whispered. She couldn't find her voice. He grabbed her hand and without warning, he pushed her into the water. She screamed.

"Oliver!" She shouted. He laughed. She shook her head back and forth. "I'm going to get you back."

"If you say so." He smiled and jumped in. Riley turned around and dunked him under the water.

"There, we are even." She said as she watched Oliver jump up and splutter.
