Chapter Eighteen

Aiden

When I dropped Nina and Charlie off at their house, I let Nina convince me it was better I stay in the car and let her dad cool off. I sat awkwardly in the driver’s seat after putting the car in park. Nina hesitated before opening her door, and I desperately wanted to lean over and kiss her. I wanted to tell her not to get out of the car and bring her back to my place. But it was a bad idea. This whole thing was a bad idea.

Instead, I sat in the car like an asshole as Nina got Charlie out of the backseat and walked toward the house. Nina looked back at me before she opened the front door. I raised one hand in a lame-ass wave as if, an hour ago, I wasn’t about to eat her out. Nina’s expression didn’t give anything away as she waved back and went inside. I waited until their front door closed before putting the car in gear. I mentally chewed myself out the entire drive home for being such a fucking idiot.

Gabe could tell I was pissed the minute I slammed open the front door to our apartment. He immediately turned off the Xbox and focused his stern gaze on me.

“Do you need a meeting?”

I shook my head. I did not want a drink or a hit right now. I clearly made bad enough decisions sober that I didn’t need anything to help me make worse decisions.

“What happened?”

“I hooked up with Nina.”

Gabe looked way less surprised than I expected. “You hooked up?”

“We just made out in her bedroom before her dad interrupted us.” I groaned, remembering coming down the stairs shirtless with a semi and that being her father’s first impression of me.

Gabe laughed at me. “Like high school all over again, huh?”

Fuck. It was like high school. Like hooking up in childhood bedrooms and sneaking around behind parents’ backs. Except, in high school, I’d have been high, and I’d have been with Faith. The laughter abruptly died in my throat before it even made it out of my mouth.

Gabe’s expression hardened as he realized what I was thinking of. “Are you and Nina, like, dating now?” Gabe asked hesitantly. He clearly was uncomfortable having this conversation, but he thought we needed to, I guess.

“I don’t know what we’re doing. We didn’t exactly talk about it.” I ran my hands through my hair as I thought of how badly I’d handled everything.

Kissing Nina on the kiss cam was a fucking terrible idea and immediately jumping into her bed was worse. I should’ve asked her on a date, taken her to dinner, kissed her goodnight. But that would’ve required making a plan and an actual decision that I wanted to be more than friends with Nina. I knew I wanted to be more than friends with Nina since the minute I met her, but I hadn’t decided to do anything about it until I saw our faces on the kiss cam.
