Chapter 117
“Exactly!” Aiden laughed as he propped his head on his elbow and turned to look at me,
“Shut up.” I mumbled. In my defense, I have seen the trailer to both of those raggies, and I could never make myself sit through them.
“I’ll make you a deal.” I mimicked his actions. My tattoo was healing up nicely, and it only slightly hurt when I touched it. Waking up the next day after my birthday to find out I had gotten a tattoo, was quite the shock. However, not as shocking as when Aiden told me what I had originally planned on getting. “If you watch The Proposal with me, I’ll watch either Die Hard or The Godfather with you.”
Aiden appeared to be thinking it over before a grin spread across his face. “You’ve got yourself a deal” He then leaned down and brushed his lips against me, pulling me closer to him. We continued to lay in his bed, me cuddled up against him while he was playing with my hair, when there was a knock on his bedroom door.
I glanced up at him in panic.
He said there was no one home, so I wasn’t exactly holding back earlier.
The knocking wasn’t quiet either, it was like someone was pounding on the door. The noise was followed by a shrill voice, “I’m coming in, so you better be decent!”
Caroline.
True to her word, Caroline barged into Aiden’s bedroom a few second later, one hand covering her eyes. “Are you decent?” I quickly pulled the covers up as much as possible while still leaving room to breathe.
“Okay good.” She peeked between her palm. “Get dressed – that means you too lover boy.” She leaned down to pick up my discarded shirt and chucked it at me.
I am going to kill her.
“Caroline, what the fuck!” I glared at her. Meanwhile, Aiden looked totally unbothered. “Is Lucas with you?”
She nodded before turning on her heel and walking out. “Chop–chop!”
“Come on, Princess.” Aiden leaned down and pecked my cheek. “You know she’ll come back if we’re not downstairs
soon.”
I pulled the covers over my head dramatically. “You should really consider changing your locks.”
I heard Aiden chuckle as the bed shifted and he got up. I was hoping to lay there for a few more minutes, Aiden had other ideas as he pulled the cover off. “But I don’t wanna!” I pouted.
He smirked as his eyes trailed my now naked body, but quickly shook his head as he grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of bed.

Chapter 117
When we walked downstairs, Aiden was in front of me and I trailed behind him. I was still getting used to the new perks of our friendship. Despite all of our friends knowing that we were sleeping together, it didn’t make the situation any less embarrassing.
Caroline and Brooke would make weird kissing noises at me every chance they got, and Lucas would not so subtly hit at ways to spice it up.
“Finally!” Caroline exclaimed when she saw us. Her hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail and she was wearing workout clothes. While this wasn’t entirely uncommon for Caroline, she was also holding a clipboard and her face was scrunched up in confusion. “In the kitchen, please!”
Walking into the kitchen, we found Alex, Cody and Lucas all lounging around. “What’s going on?” I asked confused.
“The Valentine’s Day bake sale for the sport’s department is tomorrow and I completely forgot about it!” Caroline
ushered out.
“What does this have to do with the rest of us?” I asked, still not understanding why she dragged me out of a very comfortable bed to witness her freaking out.
She scratched the back of her neck nervously. “I may or may not have signed you up to bake some stuff for it a few months back?”
“Care!” I whined.
“But it’s okay” She quickly added pointing to the guys who were scrolling through their phones. “I brought reinforcements.”
I glared at her. “What am I supposed to do with them?”
“They’re here to help you bake, silly.”
“Caroline, I’d rather pull an all–nighter myself than let any of those four near the kitchen.” I snorted.
“Then they can go to the store while I help you bake!” She gave me a hopeful smile.
She’s so lucky I love her.
“What are we making?” I sighed. She squealed before pulling me into a tight hug. “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You’re the best!”
“We need to bake 300 hundred cupcakes and 250 heart shaped macaroons.” She quickly said before darting behind
Lucas.
“CAROLINE!”
“I know, I’m sorry!” She peeked over Lucas’s shoulder only to be met with my death glare.
After jotting a list down, Caroline gave the boys specific instructions to go to the store and pick everything we needed, meanwhile she and I would stay back and get started.

“Are you sure it’s okay for us to do this here?” I asked Aiden for the millionth time. Caroline had more or less taken over his kitchen without so much as asking.
“Yeah, it’s cool.” He smiled and he watched Caroline open and slam shut various cabinets.
