Still too close. She was still right in front of him and Emily wasn't. His brand new girlfriend was thousands of miles away and his ex was in his arms. Why did he bring her out here again? At least when they were standing around accepting congratulations from people, he could tune it out and freak out about how to explain himself to Emily. He was in deep shit, a prisoner to the memories between them. Stop doing the wrong thing. Just let her go. Walk away. "Why did you propose when I specifically said to just walk with me? The rumour itself was enough to do the job, but you know that. So why propose?" "Kid had to bloody have Irises and Lavender. I mean what are the damn chances?!" Keira laughed. He was sweating bullets, trying to do the right thing and she adored that, but she loved bad Aaron. The one who did stupid shit like that without thinking. Emily probably loved bad Aaron too. Should she give him back? Was it in her power to? His words from their time together on the plane we

2020, August 5th(Imperium, Warlanda)“No one likes a show off, Kei,” Aaron complained. He was already out of breath or he thought he was. Maybe his mind was just giving him reasons not to keep enduring the torture. Just when he thought he got to a good pace and started getting comfortable, she upped the ante and did it so seamlessly, he just wanted to grab her and kiss her out of frustration. “It’s called multitasking. I’d be super bored playing swords with you if that’s the only thing I was doing."Keira was seated on a chair. She flipped the page of the manga in one of her hands while lazily holding off his rookie attacks with the other. “What she means is you’re improving,” said Nathan, coming up behind her, swiping the sword out of her hand and striking up his own sword fight with Aaron. “Sure as shit doesn’t feel like it,” Aaron grinned, willing himself to keep his eyes open to defend against Nathan's malicious attacks as the latter swung the sword expertly through the air.

Meanwhile, back in Madz's office, Keira waltzed herself through the door like a woman on a mission. "Alright, out with it. What is the problem?"Madz gave her daughter a once over before responding. "Right now? Your sister's here, looking to hide her sword in your prince. Bring her to me, would you?" Keira's blood went cold. "No time for your guilty conscience about not telling him things. If you want him to live, go." "Where?" She found them easily enough, but she was two flights above them and Aaron looked like a desperate, trigger happy man. Keira took the sword in her hand and threw it down. It landed inches next to his foot. "Hey Kei, it's been too long. Make sure you get down here before I kill him so that you can watch.""Pick up the damn sword and stall! Use what I taught you."Kate looked at the sword and then back at Aaron. "Isn't that cute? So you don't just go at it like rabbits all day."Kate moved so fast, Aaron didn't even see her until she had punched him in th

Emily reined herself in, folded her hands in her lap so she wouldn’t punch him. Whatever was going on between Nathan and her father, she at least seemed to still have his interest. It annoyed her that that bit of information meant something to her. It was only because it meant she could still convince him though. For all she knew, he only took the meetings with her father knowing it would get back to her. This was probably just another stupid game to him. Too many maybes. She needed to get the papers signed sooner rather than later. She dismissed the kiss and the butterflies it gave her, had left her with, as a casualty of war. Emily knew better than to mix business with pleasure. So what if he was exactly her type? If anything, that’s exactly why this wasn’t going any further. Her track record with men was clear evidence that her type was bad for her and she would likely end up married to one of the snobs her father spent her late teens/early twenties introducing her to if at all.

2021, February 18th(Imperium, Warlanda)When they got home last night, Keira showed Aaron the only place in the house that would allow him to make and receive calls and promptly left him, leaving Flynn and Cameron behind to show him to his room once he was done. On the way home, he refused to talk to her at first and maybe she should have left well enough alone, because they ended up playing the blame game the whole ride back until she didn't know what to say to him anymore. She didn't mean to hurt him, to be selfish, but he might have spared her heart that proposal only to follow it up with a flat out rejection. For a moment last night, before things went south and he ran, endangered his life just to talk to another woman, to get away from her, she fooled herself into thinking that she'd made a mistake in leaving him. That he felt the same way. But now here he was, desperate to get back home to his new girlfriend. Of course he was. What did she expect? Aaron's phone was flooded wi
