Chapter 44: (Aubrey's POV)- Summer Love

"Penny for your thoughts?" he asked while I played with the collar of his shirt while lying on top of him.

"I want to tell you something, but you have to promise me you won't get mad." I began while avoiding

his gaze. I wanted to tell him that Peter was at my house. I wanted to tell him that I had a confrontation

with him and he wasn't willing to admit to his mistakes but I was scared he was going to get mad at me

for not telling him earlier.

"I can't promise you that, what is it?" he asked with concern.

"I saw Peter today, he was sitting at my porch when I went to my house." I finally spit it out.

"And why didn't you tell me this earlier?" he questioned calmly while playing with my braid. I think he

already knew the answer.

"I didn't want you to be in a bad mood for tonight. It was our date and I didn't want to get you angry and

ruin your mood." I explained while staring at his collar, still avoiding eye contact.

"I would've kept it mind, not act angry with you." he grabbed my hand and intertwined his fingers with

mine.

"Really? You would've been in a pissy mood for the rest of the night, you wouldn't have danced in the

rain, I can bet on that." I scoffed.

"No, but I could've been out punching his annoying little face," he spoke casually. I looked up at him to

see him staring at me.

"I wouldn't want that. It would get you in trouble." I pouted slightly while resting my chin on the back of

my hand which rested on his chest.

"So?" he questioned.

"What do you mean so? Why would I want you in trouble because of me?" I asked my brows furrowing

slightly.

"Because it would get him to stay away from you." he flicked my earring slightly.

"And it would land you in trouble with the cops, again." I huffed while giving him a pointed look.

"That was fun though, I have to admit it." he snickered while playing with my fingers.

"What was fun? Landing yourself on house arrest with an ankle monitor?" I deadpanned.

"Breaking into the school and doing something that gave me an adrenaline rush." he smiled slightly.

"And you just have to break the law to get an adrenaline rush?" I asked with slightly pleading eyes

because I knew that wasn't his first time breaking the law and it certainly wouldn't be his last.

"That's who I am, Aubrey. Take it or leave it am I right?" he looked into my eyes.

"Well, I'm certainly not leaving it. I guess I have to take it then." I sighed making him stifle a laugh.

"Live a little, Aubrey. Do something adventurous sometimes. Maybe you'll like it." he shrugged.

"I think you can find adventure without breaking the law and don't take this the wrong way but- you

don't have to break the law for adventure. Going on road trips, hanging out with friends, pranking

people, sleepovers, camping in places and a lot more. And yeah, not all these things are in everyone's

comfort zones I mean, do I look like someone who can camp? But the truth is, when you do it and are

in the moment, it's a thrill with the right people." I spoke softly.

"I broke in by myself, not with the wrong crowd. I do it all myself, Aubrey." he sighed. There's more to it,

there has to be. No one goes around breaking the law for fun.

"Why?" I questioned softly, not wanting to push if he didn't want to talk about it any further.

"I wanted to try and get my dad home. I knew he'd get extremely mad but I thought he'd stay a little

longer even though he was here for the divorce and I could finally get a chance to spend some time

with him, to make him believe I'm not a disappointment, it didn't exactly work." he scoffed coldly.

"You don't have to make him believe anything. The people who truly care about you and love you

already know how much of an amazing person you are. People love you. I love you. And you can break

the law all you want but that's not gonna change. I love you." I blurted it all out. "And you are stuck with

me now, I'm not letting you leave me, ever." I huffed.

He smiled at that before pulling me up higher. "I love you so much," he whispered while my lips

lingered above his.

"I know." I smiled. "And you know I love you and I'll always be here," I whispered back before pressing

my lips to his and wrapping my arms around his neck as he snaked around my waist.

We pulled away after a while and I just lay there on top of him, my head resting on his shoulder as my

lips brushed against his neck. "Aubrey?" he asked. I hummed in response. "What if we're just a

summer love?" his voice was just above a whisper, I thought I was hearing things for a moment.

"Then summer is just going to have to last forever," I mumbled, my tone completely serious.

I woke up to feeling kisses being peppered all over me. From my face to my shoulder, down my arm

and to my hands, a few on my stomach before too many to count on my neck which woke me up wide Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

awake laughing.

"What are you doing?" I asked while laughing and slowly opening my eyes to see Xavier hovering over

me with a grin and blush.

"Get up, we have things to do," he spoke while lying on top of me, hugging me tightly.

"And what things are those?" I asked while closing my eyes with a smile on my face, just enjoying the

moment we were having.

"I got a call from Sheriff Clarke," he spoke making me shoot my eyes open. He sat up and then I did

too, staring at him expectantly.

"What did he say? Are they coming back early? The monitor?" I shot questions at him.

"Calm down little lady, I have to go to the station in twenty minutes," he answered vaguely. My

eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "I'm getting the monitor off," he spoke so softly, I thought I had

imagined it.

"I'm sorry what?" I asked him to repeat himself because how the hell is he so calm when he just got

such great news?!

"The monitor? Off," he answered shortly.

"And why are you not dancing in joy with this news?" I asked in confusion.

"Because I don't have my dance partner with me. Get up, let's get this bitch off!" he suddenly exclaimed

while standing up and pulling me to my feet.

I laughed as he carried me to the bathroom before grabbing a dress from my bag for me. "Wear this, I

liked it on you." he handed me the black sundress that I wore not too long ago which was now back

from the laundry that he taught me how to do.

I brushed my teeth and threw my hair up in a high ponytail before throwing the dress on and calling him

to zip it up. He did it the same flirty way as last time before we both threw our shoes on and headed

out.

"We'll ride today," he stated. I knew what it meant and I was excited. I'd never been on a motorcycle

before and I always had an idea in my head of how free you could feel on one.

"Before we do, how come you're getting it off early?" I asked as he pulled it out of his garage.

"Either my mom charmed him into it, or it's the reason he gave me which is that and I quote 'You seem

to have been behaving well so we're letting you off early'," he explained as he got the keys and got on,

started it.

That thing roared to life and for a second I was terrified.

Live a little, Aubrey.

His words from last night rang in my head. This is an adventure without breaking the law. "Hold on

tight," he said after I got on.

He offered me a helmet which I refused. That made him smile with an almost proud look on his face. A

kind of 'that's my girl right there' kind of look which I only know from movies.

He drove out of his driveway and sped down the street, occasionally going over the limit when the

street was clear, and soon enough, we reached the station. We got off and walked hand in hand.

He walked up to the desk and said, "I'm here to get the monitor off." We were then told to take a seat

on the bench where his monitor was taken off. We got out for me to hear him say.

"Where to now?" with his ever so charming smile on his face.
