Chapter 5 - *Chapter fourteen: Not a Knight

If Noah was a teenager and he cared about what I had to say, I would have whispered the word traitor to his face but he was an infant that cared nothing of what I thought of him as he relaxed on the chest of a complete stranger and dozed off like they have known each other for days.
I watched Aiden closely as he placed his hand on Noah's back and rubbed it in a soothing way and for a minute I was envious of my infant half nephew. I would sleep too if I was rocked like that.
Aiden didn't try to make a conversation or pretend to try to make me comfortable. He just closed his eyes like he couldn't care less if I was human or not.
"Wow...you are on another level" I said out loud accusingly for his rudeness.
"Shush, red" he whispered without opening his eyes.
"Don't you shush me, you imp!" I said through my clenched teeth.
It was an incorrect name calling since he looked more like an angel than an imp but calling someone an angel wasn't exactly rude or annoying.
"You are going to wake the baby because I hurt your fragile feeling" Aiden mocked.
I think it was more annoying that he kept his eyes closed throughout our verbal exchange of armor piercing words aimed at embarrassing each other.
"God please, I am not that insecure and my feelings are not fragile just like my fist won't be when it finds your jaw if you spoke to me in that tone again" I threatened in a slow whisper and rolled my eyes.
"Then stop throwing tantrums like a hormonal teenager and let me have a moment of peace" Aiden yawned like I was boring.
I am Aaliyah freaking Macks, no man yawns when I am present or treat me with indifference. I wasn't used to be ignored or look down on. My day consist of people trying to be me and hoping they could become me as their life goal. Guys worshiped the ground I walk on, girls spend their whole life trying to become me, lawyers pray they don't have to go up against me and criminals hope they are lucky enough to have me in their corner.
Nobody has ever shush me or told me I was throwing a tantrum like a hormonal teenager. Nobody dared.
Without thinking that I was in a place with half asleep passengers, two teens that were playing candy crush, an older lady sipping her fruit juice and a young man reading a book, I pressed my lips to Aiden's.
I half expected him to push me away or slap me across the face but he didn't. He just sat there holding Noah as I played with his lips like we have been dating for almost ten years.
He tasted like scotch with a hint of chocolate, even though I couldn't pictures him eating actual chocolate. I ran my hand through his hair as I applied more pressure to the kiss. I was going to make him regret behaving like I was boring.
With time the kiss became less of a punishment and more like a thing of pleasure. I liked the way he let me take control and didn't pressure me to do more than I was willing to do. Everything was on my pace and it was lovely.
Even though it never proceeded to tongue thrusting, it was a kiss any girl or man in his right senses would lay awake and replay in his or her head. slowly the kiss came to an end and I pulled away long enough to watch his expressionless face and hazel eyes that was devoid of any kind of emotion especially lust.
Actually, his hazel eyes looked more green than other colors as he looked at me. Aiden used his free hand to run through his hair like I did earlier on before he smoothed it to give it a relaxed appearance.
His eyes swept my face but I couldn't tell what he was thinking as he still had the same expressionless face as he did when I stopped kissing him.
"You know, you can not go about kissing every guy you sit with on an airplane....I guess, I could give you points for trying to make the kiss fun at best"
He then used his thumb to wipe the edges of my lips taking away half of the lip-gloss I applied. His lips had my crimson red shade of lipstick and he looked ridiculous wearing it.
I tried to control the urge to slam my fist into his perfect face for calling my world class kiss fun at best and watch him die from internal bleeding due to the punch.
Aiden opened Noah's bag without my permission again and took out baby wipes from it. He first wiped my mouth... again without permission and then he wiped his. I was coming to term with the fact he was more of forgiveness is better than permission type of man.
"Aaliyah Macks, if I close my eyes again will you try to impose a kiss on me again?" He asked with a hint of annoyance.
"I rather jump off the plane without a parachute, Aiden" I answered out of spite.
"Good. I rather you do that too" he said and closed his eyes.
I watched him for a minute or two before I placed my headphone on and turned on the music to the highest volume. I must have slept for forty minutes when I felt someone's breath on my cheek.
I slowly opened my eyes to meet his face very close to mine and it felt like he was intruding on my personal space. I shrunk further into my seat but he didn't back away.
"You were snoring, Red" he spoke softly like talking was a hard work he rather not do "you are making it hard for me to sleep"
"I don't snore, you imbecile!" I retorted in anger
"Hmm.... should I show you the video I took before you opened your eyes?" He asked still in a soft voice without backing away.
I guess I should give him points for a great oral hygiene since his breath didn't smell at all.
"You took a video? What kind of a..." I was interrupted by his smile followed by his voice.
"Careful Miss Macks, imbecile and imp is much name calling I can stomach before I am forced to upload the video online for the world to see. I googled you, you are quite famous, Red" he threatened.
Just like me, he didn't need to raise his voice to pass across his threats.
"Delete the video right this moment, Aiden" I demanded
"Careful Red, I am not one of your employees but if you are nice to me, maybe I will delete it out of the goodness of my honeycomb heart" he told me.
I bite back the urge to lash out and say hurtful things. I took a breath and tried to calm my raging heart.
"Please delete the video, Mr. Aiden before my fist finds it's way down your throat" I said and smiled mischievously.
"Wow...you can't help yourself, can you? I told you to be nice to me, Red"
"I smiled when I said that, didn't I? That was me being nice" I told him with a fake smile
"I guess I have to take what I want without asking, since you are incapable of following an instruction"
Before I could have a second to assimilate what he was saying, he pressed his lips to mine and tucked gently on it till I parted my lips. He thrust inside my mouth like he was purposefully invading my sanity. It was an invasion I welcomed and enjoyed if I wasn't too angry to admit it.
He wasn't as gentle as I was or played with my lips like I did but he was consistent and ripple of pleasure wave swept through me like I was experiencing kissing for the first time. He used his free hand and grabbed my hair and pushed my face closer to him as I struggled to find time to take a breath and save my own life. He made it impossible to remember how to breathe and he didn't care much of what he was doing to my sanity. He pulled away from me without warning too. His eyes looked playful and almost boyish.
"I am guessing I rocked your world is the expression you trying to come up with, Aaliyah Macks" he had a boyish grin
"Not... exactly, you could use some tutorial but I will give you point for making it fun at least" I said and wiped my lips even though I regretted doing that.
For some reason, Aiden smiled and looked pleased like I didn't just insult him.
