Silent Beauty

Long Days

I slowly opened my eyes. I was really... warm? I didn't remember getting into a bed last night... Then it hit me. Oh my god oh my god! I immediately got up, and sure enough there was Aaron. I was sleeping on his shoulder and was so close to him that I was basically in his lap.

I looked over at Aaron. He was still asleep. I smiled. He's really cute- Wait! What am I thinking?! Ugh I'm to tired. Yeah that's it. I got up from the couch, yawning. I minus well cook some breakfast.

By the time I was done with breakfast, Aaron was still asleep. Should I wake him up? Or leave him sleeping? He looks tired. Maybe just a few more minutes... Aaron tuned and silently yawned. He looked around. Probably looking for me.

"Good morning!" I cringed. Way to cheerful for this early in the morning. He nodded at me. " I um made breakfast." That got a response. "Thanks Bree." He signed. "Of course. I was kinda bored anyways." I explained. He smiled. "Are you okay? Yesterday you fell asleep while we were talking." He asked, raising his eyebrow.

"Yeah I'm fine." I said, faking a smile. I was glad I told Aaron about... him, but it was awkward because I balled my eyes out yesterday. Yet here he was still being nice to me. He nodded at me again. Something he does a lot.

"Come on" I said. "Let's eat, the eggs will get cold." He nodded once more and followed me into the kitchen.

"Thanks for having me Aaron." I said, smiling, a real one this time. "Sure. Come over whenever you want. I'll leave the gate open for you." He signed motioning to the gate. "Okay thanks again." I said. He nodded and waved me goodbye.

Time for work I guess. I texted Emma saying that we needed to talk asap. I really wanted to tell her about my night with Aaron and she really wanted to know. When I got there she immediately came to my car and asked me what happened. So I told her.

I told her about the movies, the talk, the sleeping, the breakfast, every little detail. Well okay not everything, but most things. Her reaction to the sleeping is exactly what I expected.

"WAIT WHAT?! YOU SLEPT TOGETHER?! OMG!" She yelled while sweeping the floor. "DID YOU KISS?! DID HE SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT?! TELL. ME. EVERYTHING! She yelled again. I loved Emma but sometimes she's too much.

"Okay yes, but it was on a couch okay?" I paused trying to think of what she said next and started blushing. "No! Of course we didn't kiss!" I explained. Emma smirked a stupid grin. "Sure." I mentally sighed.

Deciding to change the subject, I asked, "What happened to Erik's girlfriend? Isn't she always around?" Emma made a disgusted face. "You mean that absolute piece of lion poop? She cheated on him, for a guy who doesn't work at a fish store."

"Ohh" I said, feeling bad. "So um do you need any help cleaning?" I asked, trying to change the subject again. "Please! Erik is a wreck right now, so he's leaving the shop to me and you." She explained. "Alright what do you need me to do?"

"You know school is starting up again soon right?" Emma asked me. Unfortunately I knew that. I knew that meant hours of homework, barely any free time, and hours of stressing out on that one assignment. "Yeah" I replied.

"Are you going to go?" Emma asked me. And to be honest I didn't know. Should I go back for school? Or stay with Emma and Aaron? "I don't know" I replied honestly. "I don't know if I should stay for if I should go back. Emma looked at me sympathetically.

"I mean it is up to you. But I would really appreciate it if you stayed?" She said, slightly embarrassed. "I would miss you." I couldn't help but smile. "Welp, then I'm defiantly staying."

"This is so boring! I wish Erik was here, so I could pick on him." Emma groaned picking at her hair. I nodded my head. So far we've had two customers and only one bought something. "We could play a game? I suggested.
