The Traps of Black Swan

Aaron chose her, accepting the torturing nights he was going to face.

He didn\'t let her open her lips and pulled her back to his arms to spoon her. "Aaron…" Aarvi tried to roll out of his arms but the man held her back firm before his deep soothing voice sounded near her ear as she controlled from twitching due to his warm breath.

"I want to do it all. Every little innocent thing to dirty ones. Dancing in the kitchen to cuddle the night away to start our day fresh in each other\'s arms."

Aarvi knew this man always wins over her no matter what. She turned around in his arms and pouted before whining, "You scared me…"

Aaron chuckled when she started crying out loud like a kid as he pulled her to embrace her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, rested her head on his, and forced a sniffle but heard him let out a throaty chuckle.

She knew Aaron was controlling himself from asking her anything, she was glad he had the patience to let her take time to speak without forcing her.

Anyhow, she heard him warn, "If you keep doing this? You will be confused when I wolfed you down."

Aarvi chuckled and kissed his cheek before getting away but the man didn\'t let her go but carried her up guiding her legs around his waist finally making her flush.

She was wearing a short slip nightdress which moved up due to the spread of her legs to wrap around his waist. \'Ahh! This man always makes me regret wearing short dresses.\'

However she responded to his dialogue to keep her mind away, "I will be the one to wolf you down."

Aaron was sure he was going to be the big bad wolf but let her assume whatever she wants, "Then I will wait for the day."

He left her down at the cloakroom and pecked on her soft lips by cupping her face, "Be good and change to something more comfortable."

Aarvi hid her smile and pulled his cheek. Undoubtedly she would be uncomfortable in that nightwear if she has to sleep with him so she hummed in acceptance and added, "We will go to your room."

She entered hearing him ask, "Why?"

She devilishly laughed and said, "I will devour you in your bedroom."

Aaron: "..." 

After five minutes, Aarvi went to Aaron\'s room. He had arrived early to set the room temperature to her requirement and was waiting for her.

Aarvi had changed to the black notched necked shirt and shorts pajamas and crawled on his bed to his arms without troubling him again. 

Curious, he again asked, "Why not your bedroom?"

She wanted to dodge it with a joke but chose the truth, "It\'s black, I don\'t want anybody in there other than me." She meant to say she didn\'t want anybody in her darkness other than herself.

Aaron didn\'t probe it further but kissed her cheek as his other hand softly caressed her other cheek. 

Seeing her snuggle closer, he resignedly smiled and asked another question he wished to know the reason, "Why were you against cuddling together to sleep?"

Aarvi smiled. She couldn\'t stop but smile at his gentle low voice. She doesn\'t know how a lullaby would sound to kids by their mother but she loved his voice which had a hint of anticipation and lots of gentleness with affection.

Aaron was confused by her reaction without understanding why she was smiling but didn\'t get the chance to ask when she responded to him.

"I want to date you, not because I want you to treasure me all the time. I want that too and also I want to be the best of me for you. As much as you know me, I want to know you. I want to know when you had cried for little mistakes; when you got bullied by others; when you were too excited. I also want to know your pain, deep down dirty secrets, your regrets, and your heartbreaks."

She spread her arms wide adding, "I want to know \'Everything\' about you."

Then she turned to him and softly smiled as she continued but her voice turned even softer carrying a hint of pain for each of the trouble she causes for him, "I don\'t want you to keep tending to my weak side." He got the confession he needed.

Aaron pulled her to his embrace wrapping his arms around her keeping her as close as possible as he continued to hear her, "I don\'t want you to get fed up of me seeing the side that needs to be get rid off." 

Aarvi too wrapped her arms around him letting him hold her close leaving no space between them. He didn\'t disturb her but continued to hear her silently while his hand gently caressed her head indicating he is listening to her.

"If we are meant to be together, we should have the trust and love as sung in the songs, as written in the novels and heard as the best love story."

Aaron let out a soft chuckle hearing her and pecked on her shoulder instead of saying, \'We are destined to be together. We belong to each other. And they would make everything come true as you wish for us.\'

"And I want to love you. I want to make you jealous of yourself by loving you more than you could do." She hugged him back tighter and closed her eyes to wait for his response.

Did she sound too childish with so many wishes? She didn\'t know but she was aware he could understand her and won\'t laugh at her for the implausible wishes.

Nevertheless, Aaron was smiling without his control. \'I want to make you jealous of yourself by loving you more than you could do.\' 

He didn\'t know if he could be jealous of himself if he can\'t love her back as much as she can. One thing he realized by his Cupcake\'s words was that she is already in love with him.

His Cupcake loves him too!!

He was overjoyed so wished to tell her too but he didn\'t. He knows what is stopping her from accepting her own feelings, that incident which is engraved deep in her heart.

He had no hurry for anything, he will give her the time she needed and enjoy life with her without a worry.

Yearning to see her pretty little face, he moved her gently and saw her peacefully sleeping. He whispered to ask, "Ms. Evans, did you perhaps fall for me a long back and hide it well?" He felt it highly possible.

He kissed her forehead, pulled the duvet up to keep themselves warm, and cuddled his Cupcake to sleep.
