After returning from office I was welcomed by cookies.

"Mommy..I'm home", I giggled running to kitchen.

"You have never grown up baby....go and refresh..I'll set the table", mom's warm smile stirred my heart.

A tear escaped my eye.

"I missed you mom", hugging her I snuggled into her chest.

"I missed you", I heard mom mumbling.

"Pardon?", I smirked.

"I missed you little trouble", she laughed ruffling my hair.

"Mom..I'm far from trouble", I denied her.

"I know..I know..now go and get refreshed..Aaron is in his room", she teased me.

"He is home?", I asked surprised.

I have never seen Aaron in evening. We usually have our morning encounters which is enough for us to stay away from each other for a day.

Truth to be told.. I never cared whether he is home or not. The same goes for him.

This is kinda new to me. My husband waiting for me when I return home.

Technically he is not waiting. It feels like that. How should I put it?

Anyway it's getting complicated.

"Why are you surprised?", Mom asked further.

"He... Never mind mom", I waved at her and walked upstairs.

I saw Aunt Em walking towards me.

"Hi Em"

"Bye Em".

"You young lady..stop right there", she ran towards me.

"I'm sorry Em. My husband is waiting for me", I waved at her entering the room.

Shutting the door I exhaled deeply.

That was so close.

"What the he.."

"Shh!!! Em is at the door. She must be eavesdropping now", I place my hand on his mouth to stop him from shouting.

He remembered that his parents were staying in his roof now.

He rolled his eyes. Jerk.

"Babe..I missed you...", I spoke loud enough to reach Em's ears.

He smirked seeing me. I shrugged.

"I missed you too babe", he started walking towards me making me walk back.

"What the hell are you doing?" , I whisper yelled at him.

"Showing my wife how much I missed her", his calm statement made me thrilled.

"Are you flirting with me Mr. Kingston?", I asked when my back hit the door.

He walked close to me lowering his head to my height.

Staring at me he whispered in my ears.

"Maybe", his words were the switch to butterflies to start dancing dance in my stomach.

My heart fluttered for first time in my life.

The next thing happened is really most expected one.

My butt landed safely on the floor of verandah.

I shouted in pain.

This jerk. I wanted to fry him in oil pan alive. AHH! My poor butt..It hurts like hell.

"Babe..I apologize..I was lost in your eyes.I accidentally opened the door during our romantic moment", smirking he extended his hand asking me to take it.

"That's for making me drink that damn chocolate", he told getting inside the room.

Standing up I throwed a dead glare at him.

I'm mad as hell.

"You are so dead Aaron Kingston", I screamed launching myself at his back.

He catched me at right time. My legs were around his waist. My hands around his neck. My chest hitting his back.

Practically it's like piggyback ride.

I bit his ear with all force.

"AHH.. You mad woman..stop the hell", he was shaking trying to push me down.

I didn't back out.

Within a minute he throwed to bed.

"What the hell? Are you crazy?", He throwed daggers at me while I smirked.

"Now get down here..it's your turn to be dead", he walked towards bed while I stood in bed walking back.

He looked really pissed. If looks could kill I will be deeply buried in ground.

Not I was freaking.

He was not that scary.

Maybe little. Excitement filled his eyes. His eyes showed happiness.

"Please Aaron...", I started smiling for no reason.

"Now my wife is pleading", he smirked running to the side of bed where I'm standing making me run at opposite direction.

A loud shriek escaped my mouth.

He laughed hearing me.

I couldn't hold back my laughter too.

He is laughing. His chest vibrated. His perfect teeth. His lips. The wrinkles around his eyes while he laugh.He looked fresh like a kid laughing when playing in the mud.It calmed my senses.

I was standing in bed while he in floor standing infront of me.

I didn't remember how he reached here.

We both were laughing locking our eyes.

He hold my shoulder making me all giddy.

"Ummm..", someone cleared their throat making us seize our laughs.

"Linda?".

"Mom".

"I'm sorry to interrupt dears. Everyone is waiting downstairs for dinner", Linda teased us.

"Mom", Aaron called out to stop her.

It's so embarrassing. My cheeks were deep red by now.

"We'll be down. Give us a minute", he answered for us. I couldn't form a word.

Linda waved at him winking at me. She walked down.

"No one is in this floor. Go get changed. I'll wait for you at my door", he told looking at me.

I just nodded back as my mouth refused to open.

I hurried to my room locking it safely I exhaled deeply.

"What just happened?", I mumbled to myself.

My right hand over my chest to stop my heart roaring from inside to get out of my rib cage.

Stay away from him Isabella. He didn't do relationships. It's the best way to stop this weird feelings.

I walked to bathroom with a smile still playing on my lips.

After showering and dressing I walked out.

I saw Aaron waiting for me.

An uncomfortable awkward silence took over us.

Walking to the dining he extended seat for me.

I pulled a tight lipped smile to him.

During the entire dinner we both just passed smiles to each other.

We were busy engaged in conversation of our parents.

I saw Em looking at us weirdly.

I can't escape for now.

After every one left the table Em signalled me.

Me and Em walked to terrace.

"What's happening Bell?", She is too straight forward.

"What do you mean?", I asked playing innocent.

Sitting on the bench I admired the moon.

"You both are pulling an act. You can fool your parents but not me Bell. Don't you like him?", She asked.

"What are you talking about? I do..like him", I answered the last part silently.

She just glared back.

"We are getting there Em", I answered truly.

"It doesn't seem like that. You both are trying to avoid each other", she stated looking worried at me.

"We are not", I defended.

"Then why are you staying in separate room?", Her question made me gawk.

"You checked my room?", I asked in disbelief.

"Yeah..I was curious", she shrugged.

"Em...we are just married. We don't know much about each other. Let us start getting comfortable around each other. We will eventually get into real husband and wife", I said staring at the sky.

"Bell...you already crossed the bridge", she told looking stressed.

"Leave it Em. Let me sleep in your lap", I said moving to her lap.

"The couple who want to know each other will stick to each other no matter what. Whatever Bell. But you are hiding something from me", her words strongly shook me.

I felt guilty. The deal I had with Aaron will be always my deepest secret.

"Don't do things that you don't like Bell. I always told you. It's okay to put you before others at some time. It's okay to be selfish", she patted my head.

"I love you Em. I can't hide from you. You know me in and out. It will be our another little secret", I mumbled.

"Let me know if you are stressed of this marriage. I'll talk to my annoying stupid brother", her words made me laugh.

After like an hour we returned.

I set an alarm around morning 4 to get into Aaron's room.

He texted me that his room will be open.

I didn't bother to reply.

It's really getting complicated. We forgot two families were involved in this marriage. It would affect the relationship between them too. It would affect them emotionally.

God... What should I do now?

With that thought I fell into deep slumber.
