Chapter 21 - Shot

The next morning I woke up late. It was my off day and Mark was home yesterday so I was in a good mood.

Tracey told that Aiden left early. Bingo. Me time!

I wore a baggy comfy top and nothing but panties to cover my thing.

And played loud music on the speakers. I took a rolling pin from the kitchen and stood on the table and danced and performed. Tracey seemed to enjoy watching me groove too.

I was lost into my own world dancing and singing along when I opened my eyes and saw Aiden standing there watching me silently.

"Holy shit! Since when have you been standing there?"

"Long enough, watching you perform! You got some moves babe" Aiden said and chuckled.

I was so embarrased. I ran towards my room. Then I realised I was in my panties. Fuck! He saw me like that!!

Although the tshirt I was wearing was long but what if I lifted my hand too high and he saw?

I am not coming out of the room! Ever!

The whole day passed. I was locked in. Didn't want to face Aiden.

It was time for dinner and I asked Tracey to cook something for us and pass it inside my room. I wasn't coming out.

Soon there was a knock at my door.

I knew it was Tracey who came to give my food. I was so hungry.

I immediately opened the door and in came Aiden.

"What are you doing here?"

"Are you embarrased because I saw you like that. You didn't come out all day!"

"Well, yeah." and as soon as I said that he pushed me towards the wall and came close to me. The proximity making me nervous.

"Aiden.. Wh..what are you doing?" I asked nervously.

"I want to tell you. I liked you performance and I wanna see that more often." he said in a low voice.

I was dumbstruck and I could feel my face heating up.

"You're cute when you're shy".

That made my cheeks 50 shades of red.

My heart was ready to explode now.

I think Tracey in the other room could also hear it beating, it was beating so fast and so loud.

What is Aiden doing suddenly? I know he is just joking around. But this is intimidating.

With all the energy I had, which trust me was very little, I pushed him away. And ran out of the room.

I heard him chuckle adorably.

He liked to see me embarrassed. He was doing this on purpose. I am so gonna kill him!

Meanwhile, in the next few days, me and Mark were texting each other, going for coffee or grab lunch whenever we had time.

He treated me like every girl would want someone to. Bringing me coffee, wiping the food out of my face, making me laugh, teaching me.

We were the best of friends and were always hanging out together.

One day, Mark dropped me home like he usually would do and I came in smiling when I saw Aiden lying on the ground and there was lot of blood.

I ran towards him. Hollered for Tracey. She wasn't there today.

I turned him over to find bullet hole in his arm. He was shot!!??

How did it happen?

I immediately called the ambulance and tried to stop his bleeding.
