"Hello there.", Aaron said smoothly. "Hey.", I said my heart thumping wildly. It was Aaron Cooper, in the flesh! Omg, if he is reading this blog I am going to strangl- I mean uh...hug him tightly around the neck.
I walked towards him, my heels that I only wore to give the "Rockstar" image clacked on the hardwood flooring.
We shook hands and my heart skipped a beat. His hands were warm and soft, not your ideal manly man's hands, but nice.
"So are you a rockstar yet?", Aaron asked me staring at me with his blue-green eyes. I looked shocked. He must have noticed because he looked at me concernedly and said, "Are you ok? I read your blog and.."
I forced a smile, "No, no, I'm fine and you read my blog?" "Yes, it's a masterpiece full of raw human emotion, I love it.", Aaron told me. I was startled and could barely speak."It's r-really nothing.", I stammered.
"Oh but it's amazing! I must send it to my director friend.", Aaron said with a smile, "Of course, I will be the leading man." I was speechless for once in my life. "That is if you HAVE a leading man...", He winked at me.
As much as that would jump start my career, it just seemed too much for a girl like me to handle.
I found my voice at last, "Well it's sort of private and I wouldn't want the whole entire world to see it." He looked at me strangely, "But it's on the internet...." Darn, he had me there...I tried again, "No one would want to hear about my life, really."
He looked at my with pity, "You're shy, I should have guessed." If he wasn't Aaron Cooper I would be yelling at him like there was no tomorrow. Control yourself, Dusk, Control yourself! "I'm not shy, I just don't want a movie made about my blog..", I told him. Trying to change the subject, I pointed to the other guy in the room, "So who's he?"
Aaron blinked at me, "He's just my brother, Steven." Steven, the creepy man that made my skin crawl when he looked at me with his light, warm, soft, gentle....um brown eyes. "Let me guess, he's not a celebrity like you.", I said with a knowing smile. Steven cleared his throat, "Ahem." I glanced at his back, ready to say something when Aaron interrupted me:
"Would you like to move in with me?".
I gaped at him. "For...business purposes only, you understand.", Aaron told me. I shut my mouth and managed to squeak out a yes.
(NOTE: That was totally unplanned....)
"Do you have any hobbies?", Steven's soft voice asked me. "Oh yes, I play the guitar.", I said with a smile. It was so easy to talk with him. The whole car ride Aaron was gazing at me from his sharp blue-green eyes and making me squirm almost as much as Steven did when he turned his eyes to me. What was up with these brothers? WHY DO THEY MAKE ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE IN MY OWN SKIN?! Dusk Walker does NOT like being uncomfortable. More like I enjoy making others feel so.
I surveyed the house, "Nice place you got here." "Thanks.", Aaron and Steven said at the same time. Aaron glared daggers at him, while Steven had a hint of a smile on his face. "So..are you guys twins?", I asked nervously. I had a feeling this was a nervous subject. Aaron looked irritated and didn't answer. Steven grinned at me, "How did you guess?" I gave a lopsided smile, "Lucky guess." They were the exact opposite, I could tell, but somewhere deep down, they were alike.
Aaron looked away from me, "I'm going to bed." I smiled cheerfully at him, "Goodnight!" Steven tapped his foot impatiently, "Can I sit on the couch, please?"
Aaron left and Steven sat down. "He turned and looked at me, "So, how's life for Miss Walker." I glared at him, "Don't tell me you've been reading my blog too." He gave a short laugh, "Don't worry, I'm not." There was an awkward silence.
We stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity until Steven broke the silence.
"So what do you think of the great Aaron Cooper?", He asked me. I smiled inwardly, I bet I could shock him.
"Oh, He's wonderful!", I gushed. Steven gaped at me, his calm demeanor fell away and I could sense his distaste for being in the shadow of his brother. "Oh.", Steven said looking away.
I laughed, "I'm just kidding, he's alright." Steven looked like he didn't believe me.
He got up, "Well, goodnight." He left the room. and I was alone on the couch.
There was a crash and I heard Steven muttering to himself.
I smiled, he was such a great guy. Wait a minute...what am I saying? Aaron Cooper is my man, not the other one!
"It's all very puzzling....", I said to myself. I thought for a minute, if I loved Aaron why the heck was I thinking of Steven?
Too tired to think it through, I got up and went into what I hoped was my bedroom.
"Oh for the love of Pete...", I said angrily, surveying the scene in front of me.
There was only one bed.
Oh well, no use trying to preserve my dignity. I crawled into the bed muttering things I shall not repeat on here. They were mostly about Aaron.
"That...lowdown...selfish..Aaron.", I mumbled in my sleep. I froze, Steven was inches from my face.
I got up and ran out of the house, my heart pounding. The stars twinkled above me and I looked up. They were gorgeous.
My thoughts went back to earth, "That selfish Cooper...he's gonna get it in the morning." I heard a chuckle, "I hope you aren't talking about me." I stiffened.
"Don't worry, it's only me, Steven..", He said with a sad tone. I relaxed, "What are you doing up?"
He ignored me, "Your hair...it looks silver in the moonlight." I was about to flash him a smile but stopped myself to scowl, "I should be getting back to bed."
I walked inside the house. "Goodnight..", Steven said softly. I didn't look at him, but instead stared straight ahead, "Night."
Instead of going straight in the room, I gazed out the bathroom window. If you are reading this, I am probably dead. For reasons of my own I'm keeping this blog private...until I die and it won't matter. After staring at the window for a few minutes I came to a decision. If any brother asks me first, regardless of how I truly feel, I will marry him.
