Aaron:

Aaron walked into his room from the kitchen where he grabbed the pair a bottle of wine and two crystal wine glasses. Aaron only kept the best china around. He smiled when he entered his room and looked over at Eden. He was genuinely happy she was here. The businessman had text her to come over and Eden appeared at his door in no time. It was so simple with her. She made things easy. She wanted to be with him and he wanted to be with her. Not only that, but he wasn’t hurting anyone else when they were together, and they could be happy without causing anyone else pain. They were just Aaron and Eden. Aaron down leaned and kissed her on the shoulder. He had a lot to talk to her about, but he needed a glass of wine first. He walked to his nightstand to open the bottle and pour them each a glass. Handing it to her, he took a deep breathe. “Thanks for leaving so soon the other day. It was important for me to go sort things out with Landon. You’re honestly incredible for understanding.” He said, a light smile appearing across his face.

Eden:

Eden had made her way to Aaron’s home in lightning speed when he texted her. It wasn’t that she didn’t like being at her own home, but she did prefer to be at his house more. Not only was he there but everything at his house was nicer. A bit cozier. Now, Eden sat in his bed, scrolling through her Instagram when he had went out to the kitchen. At his return, she dropped her phone down into his lap to give him her attention. “It was no trouble,” she promised. “I had to run some errands anyways. Like grocery shopping.” She said rolling her eyes as she took her glass from him. She sipped from it quickly, “So? Did you get it all sorted out with him?”June 8, 2020

Aaron:

He was sat down on his bed, cross cross applesauce and was turned to face Eden. “Grocery shopping?” Aaron raised his brow. He’d had almost always had his groceries delivered to him unless he was making a last minute trip. His two exes had both been more or less middle class and he had went with them before, which was one of the many times that Aaron’s privilege hit him hard in the face. He clearly did a lot of growing from his adolescent years. “Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods?” He asked like it was the most important question in the world. He huffed and ran his hand through his lock. “No..well... things are still uncertain with us.” He took a very long chug of his wine, knowing she was about to ask him the details of his fight with Landon. Cmon Aaron. You can do this.

Eden:

Eden laughed, sitting up a bit more, and pulled her own legs in to sit criss cross as she looked at her — partner? They weren’t labeling it boyfriend and girlfriend, but Eden had no idea what she was supposed to call it if people asked. “Yeah, grocery shopping. One of the worst adult things to do. I hate it.” She said with a laugh. Of course, like anyone, Eden loved the feeling after grocery shopping when her house was full of fresh ingredients, but didn’t like going to the store or unloading it into her pantry. “I’m more of a Trader Joe’s girl. Hope that doesn’t turn you off too much.” She joked, pushing his shoulder lightly. She tilted her head towards him, “Well, what’s going on with the two of you? What was the fight about anyways?” She questioned, as she brought her wine glass to her lips once again.

Aaron:

“I can respect it.” He mused. “I get mine from Whole Foods. I could always have my guys deliver you groceries if you actually hate going grocery shopping.” Aaron loved buying pretty people expensive things. He was the stereotypical wealthy man when it came to that. Aaron took another swig if the wine he poured for himself. It was nearly game already. He would most likely also need to address his budding alcoholism with Eden too, but he knew that that conversation would be far easier than this one he was about to have. Mostly because all of this was entirely his fault. He should have backed off of Roman the minute he found out about his relationship to Jaycee and Landon. He’d hurt them and now he was about to hurt Eden. But he couldn’t not tell her. She’d find out anyway, and he was done keeping secrets from people like a coward. He drank from the wine glass again, this time finishing the drink completely. “Well, you remember that other person I told you I liked? It’s Landon’s ex. Considering landon and I are best friends, it’s been causing some issues between us.” He scratched his head, unsure of what to say next. Even though I told him i was exclusive with you and that I’m not pursuing things with him.” Yes, he just used that pronoun. “So now I’m just really unsure about mine relationship with Landon.”

Eden:

The girl let out a soft laugh, "I don't mind Whole Foods, I just prefer Trader Joes." She admitted. There was nothing wrong with going grocery shopping, but the hassle of doing so was a pain. Of course Eden could probably hire Instacart or some sort of app like that to do it for her, but it hadn't ever crossed her mind to do so. "You get groceries delivered to you? Wow, what a rich boy thing." Eden teased, taking another sip from her wine glass. "But, I might take you up on that offer next time I need groceries." Eden wasn't sure what Aaron had been fighting about his friend with, and she wasn't sure what the next words to come out of Aaron's mouth would be. "Ah, I see. Sounds very much like girl troubles." Eden teased, knowing it was usually girls who got defensive over their exes dating their friends. "Him? This other person is a him?" She didn't know the boy was bisexual, and she didn't have any problems with it, it had just surprised her. She herself had slept with people of the same sex before, but never had developed feelings for them. "So why is Landon making it such a big deal if he knows you aren't persuing it with this guy?"

Aaron:

Aaron nodded, and tried to keep himself from smiling like an idiot. "It is a rich boy thing. Maybe you can take me grocery shopping one day and show me what it's like on the wild side." he joked. "Anytime, just let me know and I'll send my guy." Aaron had a guy for just about everything. That was also a rich boy thing. girl troubles. Aaron had to keep himself from laughing. "Yeah." Aaron nodded. 'Coming out' was something that Aaron never thought he would have to do, even though he knew nobody would care. He didn't believe that people needed to come out of the closet anymore because he didn't believe there needed to be one. It was 2020. Truthfully, the businessman didn't really think twice about falling for Roman; he didn't care. He always knew sexuality was fluid and didn't care to label himself at all. "Yes." he nodded, sternly. "He's a he. And I'm sharing this with you because I wanted to keep whatever this is between us open and honest. I'd hate to have you find out through some third party." he took a deep breathe as his heart hit his stomach. "He's mad because it's more than just liking this man for me. I'm in love with him...and well, he's in love with me. Landon's mad because we didn't step away from it a long time ago..." he reached for the bottle and poured the rest of it in his glass. He was so afraid of what she was going to say.

Eden:

Eden grinned, "I don't know, rich boy. It sounds like you might not be able to handle grocery shopping. It is a lot of work, especially for your rich boy hands." One of the things Eden knew about Aaron was that he had money, and he wasn't afraid to flaunt it. Part of her wanted to see how he'd survive if all of his money was taken away for a day. She was sure he wouldn't make it two hours. It didn't upset Eden that this other person was a guy, honestly, she could care less about what Aaron's sexuality was. She wasn't even sure of her own sexuality, and that was okay. Eden nodded slowly as he spoke. She was glad that he was being honest and open, because if whatever this was they had between them was going to work, it was going to need to be honest and open. The two of them didn't have a healthy relationship past, and if this - not relationship, relationship - was going to work, they needed to be able to tell each other things. "Thank you for being honest." She told him, tilting her head just slightly as he spoke. Suddenly, Eden could feel her blood boil. He said on the roof just days prior, that he had feelings for another person, there was nothing about the forbidden l word mentioned. He - like her - wasn't much for relationships and feelings, or so she thought. But clearly she had been wrong about that. How could he not do feelings, yet become exclusive with her while being in love with someone else. She didn't want to be angry, really. He had warned her on the roof top about things that might happen when she decided to become exclusive with him, and she had made her choice. At this moment in time though, she was afraid she had made the wrong choice. "Love?" She said, barely audible. Her head couldn't wrap around the information that was laid out in front of her. She tried to remain calm, but felt herself squeezing the wine glass in her hand, but she couldn't get herself to stop. She was angry, there was no denying that feeling. "I get why he's pissed off." She muttered. Suddenly, the wine glass in her hand broke to pieces. Had she really been squeezing it that hard? She must have been. Eden had been trying to control her voice, that she had lost control of her hand, and now there were broken pieces of glass and drops of wine on Aaron's bed. A bed that probably cost more than her home. "Shit - I'm sorry." Eden stood up from the bed, ignoring that her hand had been bleeding just a bit from what had just occurred. "So - you're in love with this guy -- but you're exclusive with me? What am I to you?" She questioned as she paced along the bedroom floor, doing everything she could to avoid looking in his direction. "Am I a joke? Because I told you I don't fuck with feelings, and you got me feeling these kind of things, that I don't fucking understand. And now -- now you don't just have feelings for someone else, you're in love with them. I must look like some big fucking joke to you."

Aaron:

Aaron frowned. There really wasn't any bone in his body that thought he deserved to be happy at this point. Part of him wished that Eden would just storm out and tell him to go fuck himself. Maybe slap him across the face. Fuck, he really hoped someone would slap him across the face at this point. He knew the rage was coming, but he wasn't expecting her to break the glass. He jumped up from the bed as he heart skipped a beat when he heard the glass break. Dad mode, like always, kicked in when he noticed her bleeding. "Fuck..." he mumbled, reaching out to her to guide her to the kitchen. Before he could, she really laid into him. Yeah, she deserved to react this way. She had a lot of self-respect and anyone with self-respect would react like this. Eden wasn't a joke to Aaron; in fact he really, really liked her. He knew he fucked up when he didn't tell her the whole truth up on the roof, but the truth was he hadn't even admitted those feelings to himself yet. It had been years since Aaron had felt a romantic attachment to anyone and now he was feeling it for two people. The young man was confused, and he didn't know what to do with all the emotion he was feeling. "I'm sorry..." he muttered, but he was so concerned with the fact that she was bleeding to say anymore. That and he wanted to stall for time to think of something better to say besides a dumb apology. "Can I please take you to the kitchen to clean you up?" He wasn't even concerned about the china, even though the crystal was expensive. Crystal wine glasses could be replaced, and the hurt Aaron knew that Eden was feeling was fast worse than some broke crystal. "Please? We can talk in the kitchen after I clean your hand." he begged, reaching to place his hands on her shoulders and guide her to the kitchen. He hesitated at first to make sure that she would let him touch her.

Eden:

Eden didn't understand what she was feeling in this moment. In fact, she never understood what she was feeling when it came to Aaron. In reality, Eden probably should have decked him in the face and called it a day. But, something stopped her from doing just that. Maybe it was the way she had felt when the two laid in bed together, and talked till they fell asleep. Maybe it was the fancy dinners, but something told her to try and stay calm. It was probably those stupid ass warm fuzzy butterflies in her tummy. But how could someone do that? She had never felt a real romantic attachment to anyone - until she met Aaron. And now his romantic attachment was elsewhere, or so she believed. "I'm sorry? Is that all you can say?" She muttered. The girl brought her hand up to her face to really inspect it, it was bleeding pretty bad, but she wanted to get through this talk. But, she knew worse things would happen if she didn't clean her hand. Eden winced at the feeling of his hand on her shoulder, but sighed. "Fine, but we are not in the slightest bit done talking about this." Eden reminded him as they walked towards the kitchen. She didn't like to show emotion, not this way, but she knew there were tears streaming down her face. She could feel the warm wet splotches, which meant her make-up, the make-up she put on to impress him - was probably marking up her cheeks as they made their way to the kitchen.

Aaron:

The native New Yorker shook his head. He knew this conversation was far from over, and he knew he needed to say more than im sorry. Dad mode was just really taking over. “I have more to say, i promise. We can talk. I just.... your hands.” He looked down at her hand that was now bleeding pretty badly at this point. He’d normally be dealing with a screaming 5 year old, so he knew he could handle this. He brought her to the kitchen. And sat her down at the kitchen table, which reminded him...What was with glass being broken in his house lately? He turned to the cabinet to grab the first aid kit. The father rushed back over to her and positioned the chair in front of her. The brunette suddenly noticed her crying. Was she crying because she was hit by him or hurt by the glass? Hell, it was probably a mixture of both at this point. He was the cause of a lot of people’s pain. As he tended to her bleeding hand he looked at her puffy. His heart hurt. He had been the cause of this. Eden was so special to him, and she didn’t deserve to get caught up in this. Eden was the most beautiful and confident woman he had ever met. He loved staying up with her all night, talking with her, and he couldn’t wait for her to meet his daughter. Why had he treated someone so perfect so awfully? He fixed her up within a matter of minutes, knowing exactly what to do. “Now, adult band aid or Frozen bandaid?” He asked, holding up her two options trying to make light of the situation.

Eden:

Eden hated this moment. When she left her house to come over to Aaron's, she had expected the night to go a hell of a lot better. But now she ached, her hand ached, her body ached, even her heart ached. She didn't like what she was feeling, and this was the exact reason she didn't get involved with people. Things never went the right way for Eden, and for once she had felt like something was, only to be destroyed in the matter of days. Her red eyes returned to her hand, which had a lot more red than she had seen in a long time. Normally, if someone got hurt, she would take charge of the situation, she had spent most of her life planning on becoming a doctor, but now, she didn't want to take care of anything, so she was appreciative that Aaron seemed to know what he was doing. When he asked about the band-aid, a small smile broke onto her face. "Frozen, please." She told him, but then pouted again, "Don't make me smile when I'm mad at you."

Aaron:

A sly smile spread across Aaron’s face when she spoke. Maybe there was hope for this after all. He found it a little ironic that he was a businessman fixing up a future doctor’s wounds. He nodded, trying to wipe the smug smile off of his face by biting down on his lip. “There.” He said, placing few Frozen band aids on her hands where the deepest wounds were. “The doctor getting doctor’d.” He mused sitting back in his seat. He looked over at her and noticed her makeup running down her face. She was still so beautiful even with mascara down her face. He gentle took a tissue to pat her eyes. “I’m sorry, Eden. I never meant to hurt you.” He finally said, frowning. “I want to keep things going with us. I like the way this is. I like you.” He tried to smile. “I like the way you don’t give two fucks about what anyone has to say. The way you walk, your tiny voice, how you hold me at night. I could go on. Roman...he just came out of nowhere.” Oh shit. Was this the first time he was actually telling Eden who this other man was? He didn’t actually mean to spit Roman’s name out. It just kind of flew from his lips. He wondered what kind of reaction she would have about that. He assumed they were friends. At least, he knew they knew each other.

Eden:

Eden didn't enjoy the fact that even though she was mad at him, he could still make her smile. "Thanks, doctor." She said, a small smile on her face, but quickly even that faded back to seriousness. Eden wanted all of this information to go away, everything seemed so simple on the rooftop at Throuple. Nothing too complicated, and since that day, all had been smooth sailing. Sure, it hadn't even been a week yet, but Eden enjoyed what they had. She didn't want it to be complicated by this person that Aaron was in love with. She knew her breath was shaky, that he probably felt that as he patted her cheeks dry. She couldn't imagine what she looked like in this moment, probably some wack job that after tonight Aaron would never want to see again. "But that's the problem. You like me. You love him. Those are two very different words, Aaron. What if I was in love with you? Then what would you do? You can't be in love with two different people." She very much knew that you could easily be in love with two people, but she didn't want to admit that. Her cheeks became pink as he spoke about her. She had a list just like that of the things she loved about Aaron. But she wasn't about to go listing them off for him, right now, he didn't deserve that. Her mind then processed Roman's name. "Whoa - hold the phone, you're in love with Roman?!" Eden was filled with sadness. But not so much for herself, but for Roman. She had run into him at Throuple and had told him all about how her and Aaron had become exclusive on the rooftop. How foolish could she be? She didn't have a ton of friends in Kingsboro, but she surely considered Roman as one. Now this, this broke her heart. Roman was fabulous, she knew it, and clearly Aaron did too, if he was in love with him. Eden jumped up out of the chair she had been sitting in and once again returned to a pacing state. "Roman Beckett? There isn't no other Roman I know of. I'm thinking of the right one, yeah?" Her small body desperately wanted to drop to the floor and just cry, curled up in the fetus position. If she was home - home alone, that would be exactly what she would have done. The girl was strong, especially in front of other people, but there was only so much information a girl could take in at once. "I can't believe this." She said, rubbing her head as she paced back and forth. "How did I not know this?" Part of her didn't even realize she was talking out loud, she thought she was talking in her head. "Why would you want to keep this going if you're in love with Roman?" She whispered, feeling the tears starting up once more.

Aaron:

Aaron had really regretted telling Roman those three words. While it felt good to get off this chest, the hurt he had caused other people hadn’t been worth it. Aaron had always been the protective type since his daughter was born. He felt that part of his purpose in life was to keep the people he loved safe. He never wanted to be the person that people needed to be protected from. Aaron very knew that he could definitely be in love with two different people. He wasn’t in love with Eden but he was certainly falling for her, yet his feelings for Roman remind unchanged no matter how hard he tried. It pained Aaron to know that he was the cause of her tears and when he felt her quivering, his heart only aches more. “Morning is going to happen with Roman, Eden.” He could see how upset she was. He wanted to pull her in for a hug, but he wasn’t sure if he was in the place to be holding her. He wasn’t sure if she wanted him, the person causing the tears to hold her. That was a hard question. He did want to be with Roman, but he couldn’t deny his attraction to Eden either. Not to mention, he couldn’t be with Roman. “Roman and I will never be, Eden. It’s not possible. I’m moving on from him.” He didn’t really answer her question. “I like you, Eden and I hate that way I’m making you feel. But I’m not going to pursue anything with Ro. We’re staying friends, but I don’t want to be just friends with you.” He said with pleading eyes.

Eden:

Part of Eden wanted to grab her bag from Aaron's room and storm out, never to see Aaron again. But the other part of her, the bigger part of her, wanted to stay. There was no denying there was a connection between her an Aaron, and even if he was in love with someone else, he had made a commitment to her. He agreed to only see her and to only have sex with her, and she knew that was a big deal. She knew it was a big deal on her end, for her to agree to only have sex with him, but for him to agree to it - while being in love with someone else - was an even bigger deal. She came to a halt in the middle of the room, turning on one foot to loo at Aaron, "You're moving on?" She sighed, bringing her good hand up to her face, wiping away the few tears that were stinging her eyes. "I hate that you're making me feel like this too," She admitted, "I really fucking hate it." Eden let out a shaky breath, walking back over to Aaron, and slipping her hands into his. "You promise you're moving on? Because I can't do this relati---," She caught herself before fully letting out relationship, "I can't do this exclusiveness thing if you aren't. I need to know you're in this one hundred percent." It was hard enough for her to commit to someone, but to be commited to someone like him, this was going to be a roller coaster.

Aaron:

Aaron knew that Eden did not have a good history with her past relationship. And he hated that he was proving her right. Things were way too fucking complicated at this point, which was the whole reason he hated relationships to begin with. “I’m moving on. I really am. Roman has a girlfriend. I’m exclusive with you.” His eyes widened a little bit before she stopped herself from labeling what they were as a relationship and was relieved when she stopped herself. Something he could handle right now was calling Eden is girlfriend. “I’m in this, Eden” He was telling the truth. He had come to terms a while ago that he couldn’t be with Roman, and it was slowly starting to become normal for him. “We can take it really slow. Lord knows, I need to take this slow. But my feelings for haven’t changed at all, Eden. They’re genuine.” Ew, he was getting to mushy but he couldn’t help it.

Eden:

There was reason why Eden hated relationships. They were complicated and messy, never have they been worth it. But Aaron, Aaron was worth it. She would put 110 percent into this exclusiveness, but in return she wanted at least 90 percent back in return. The two were exclusive, but there was no label attaching them, so it was hard to explain it. She kept nodding as he spoke, taking a moment and leaning her head to his forehead for a moment. She let out a quivering breath, “They better be, because — you’re not going to hurt me.” She pulled back from his head once again, “But — if I hear you aren’t moving on— and there is shit going on between you and Roman behind my back. Then this is over. You have one fucking chance, one.” She told him.

Aaron:

Aaron couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Eden was really something special. The fact that she could put up with all his bullshit, but at the same time really assert herself and what she wanted out of Aaron. “I’ll give you my all.” He told her. He wasn’t sure if he believed the words himself, but he really really wanted to. Even though she was completely serious, he couldn’t help but smile. “The fact that you’re giving me a second chance really just proves how much you my like me.” He sing-songed as he grabbed her non-injured hand to kiss her palm. “You’re fucking incredible.” He mused.

Eden:

She wasn’t sure what was going to happen between her Aaron. But she knew if she didn’t peruse this, she would regret it later on. She needed to know what the feelings she had for Aaron were, and if it meant she’d get hurt in the process than so be it. “You better.” She relaxed her shoulders when he kissed her hand. “I know I am incredible. My word of advice to you is don’t fuck it up.” She said, pressing her lips to his for just a moment, “I should go clean up the glass in your bed.” She reminded him, heading back towards the bedroom, “Again, sorry about that.”

Aaron:

If anything, this conversation had left their 'relationship' pretty uncertain. Then again, it wasn't really super certain to begin with anyway. He couldn't help but smile when she told him not to fuck it up. There was the Eden knew he so well. "Just sit. I'll clean up." he said, guiding her to the couch. It was the least he could do. After all, he was the cause of the broken wine glass. "You don't have to be sorry. I'll be right back." he said, sliding down the hallway to clean up the expensive crystal that was all over his floor and bed.
