I don’t answer him; I’m just standing in shock. We only kissed at school once. One fucking time and she had to see us then!

“Ash!” he grabs me by the shoulders. “Relax, okay?”

I shake him off and stare hard into his eyes, “Relax? Relax?! How the fuck am I suppose to relax?! I—mmfmfm!” the bastard just clamped his hand over my mouth.

“God, shut up! Now sit,” he pushes me down onto the couch and stands in front of me. “I don’t think you should worry.”

“You’re retarded, Aiden.”

“No, think about it. Who listens to Madison?”

“Everyone,” I say matter-of-factly.

“No, no,” he’s smiling now. What a loser. “Who actually listens to what she has to say, though?”

“Her cheer-bitches?”

“Uh huh, and who listens to them?”

I smirk, “No one.”

“Exactly! And for anyone else, Madison has no proof of what she saw.”

“Rumors will still go around, though.” I grimace.

“We can deal with those,” he says as she sits next to me.

“I just wanna protect her…”

“I know,” he says truthfully. “Everything’s gonna be fine. You’ll see.”

“Yeah, we’ll just have to keep it on the way D.L. at school.”

He smirks, “No wonder it gets so heated when you guys are alone.”

I slap him on the shoulder, “Ass.”

He laughs, “Anyway, a month? How’s the sex?”

“AIDEN!”

“Hell, I just curious…” he says innocently.

“Yeah, me too.” I lean back into the cushions and stare off into space.

“What?” he turns to face me.

I roll my head to the side and catch his gaze, “I mean I’m curious too. As in I wouldn’t know how the sex is.”

“You haven’t done anything?!” Wow, he seems astonished. God, I’m a whore.

“No, we haven’t. Maybe if you hadn’t walked in, we might’ve. It was getting pretty heated. Like more than usual.”

“Damn, I should have waited a little longer, then…”

I scoff and roll my eyes, “You are such a bastard.”

“I’m a guy, sue me.”

“Which is why I am so glad I swore off of testosterone.”

“Oh, ha-ha. So why haven’t you done anything? It’s so not you.”

“Exactly,” I nod.

“Huh?”

“It’s not me. That’s the point. I want things to work with Spencer. I care about her tons, and just being with her is enough.”
