Chereads / I BURN FOR YOU / Chapter 14 - Bargain.

Chapter 14 - Bargain.

"You really don't have to be too hard on the girl, to be fair you did deserve those slaps so chill a bit bruh", Mark who has been outside Aira's door waiting for what seems an enternity for Aiden to be done with her and join him told Aiden as soon as he stepped out of her room.

"You know it will do you some good if you would mind your business and not butt in in mine Mark", Aiden replied him while walking past him to take the stairs.

"It would but I don't want to because I have to keep your behavior in check so am stuck with you", replied Mark who followed him down the flight of stairs.

"You might plan on not telling your new playmate that we have an elevator that will save her the stress of going up and down these stairs but it doesn't mean we should suffer the same fate. My legs are killing me!", Mark continued.

"If you were gonna nag about the staircase and finally spill the information to her because you  couldn't keep your mouth shut, you should have taken the stairs then atleast I will be spared your early morning sermons!" Aiden retorted.

"Talking about spilling the beans huh? Whose the one screaming on top of his voice now?, and you if all people know I give great advices but I certainly don't give sermons so don't exaggerate", Mark replied.

"Really? So why are you trying to make me feel bad because I withheld a not so important information from my housekeeper Mark?", Aiden halted turning around to face Mark.

"C'mon man, I'm not trying to make you feel bad, we both know it won't work on you..." Mark said but was cut short. "Exactly", Aiden replied.

"Chill dude, let me finish what I have to say", Mark replied him chuckling. He has known Aiden for long and he certainly can't be put off by his lack of hospitality. Yeah it was bad but he was his friend and friends stuck to each other no matter what so he stayed by his friend and figured out how to deal with him and his mood swings all these years, he found humour in his words even when Aiden was being serious and even though Aiden swore that he was tired of Mark, Mark knew he didn't mean it. His friend was willing to give his life for his and he was willing to do the same. The only thing he has failed in in all these years was to bring emotions into the life of his friend, not that he didn't try, he tried his very best, he introduced him to his female friends thinking he might fall in love but his friend only used them to keep his bed warm and do away with them, it didn't matter which female he brought home, he never changed, he never felt anything not until her. Fiesty as Aiden called her sparked something in his friend that he couldn't. Yes it wasn't love but he could see the spark in his eyes when he spoke of her and the cunning tricks and games he was going to play on her. His friend who didn't care what a woman did as long as it wasn't to pleasure him now  had time to plot against a woman, he literally took his time to plot silly games to piss her off, within hours his friend spoke more words he would have spoken in months if she didn't come into his life. So Mark grateful for Aira's presence in their life which won't be easy for her as a result of what Aiden has planned for her has promised himself to atleast make things easier for her in anyway he can. 

He had faith she could change Aiden and with more faith his friend might change his feelings of hatred to love because they would make one hell of a stubborn couple, Mark thought. In order to convince Aira to stay and not leave out of frustration as a result of his friend's useless tricks he decided he will be there for her as best as he can but carefully so Aiden won't suspect else he would be dead meat before Aria joined him.

"Dude all am trying to say is, you're punishing us too because of your plans to frustrate the life out of the poor girl, we had to take the stairs we haven't used in years all because you don't want her to find out about the elevator. Bro that's childish and stressful on my part, I don't know about yours", Mark explained.

"Firstly Mark, she isn't some innocent girl I just decided to harm so in as much as I enjoy being a villain, do not paint me as one when it comes to her. She is simply reaping what she has sown", Aiden replied looking serious.

"Sorry boss, what else do you have to say", Mark replied raising his hands in the air as a sign of surrender.

"It was more of a question really, What do you suggest I do since we can't take the staircase regularly", Aiden asked.

Mark smiled knowingly, "So you also find it tiring and ted..." Mark was saying but was cut short by a stare from Aiden and a low growl escaping his throat.

"Am sorry, I should just answer you directly", Mark apologized again.

"Then what the hell are you waiting for? We haven't got all day, Go ahead!", Aiden asked, screaming out of frustration.

"Uumm, that's the thing is,  I don't really know how to solve your problem, you can just tell her..", Mark who was explaining was cut short by Aiden.

"Tell her?! The point is to punish her by not telling her! And now you want me to tell her?! Really?!", Aiden shouted , widening his eyes like he can't believe what he just heard his bestfriend say.

"Not tell me what?"...
