I’m officially ruined. Like, I knew my heart would always belong to Aaron, no matter how hard I’d have tried replacing him with another guy, but now I know for sure that it’s never going to be possible.
There’s a fine line between a casual hookup with a stranger and a hookup with the guy you’ve had feelings for since the moment you’ve laid eyes on him. I’m not even anywhere near the line, I’m entirely on the Aaron-fucking-Marsh-can-own-my-soul side.
With one last kiss Aaron peppers on my lips, he pulls out of me and sets me down on the floor. He still holds me up a little, making sure I don’t tip over, which I’m thankful for because, honestly? I would have.
“That was more than ‘head in and done’,” I chuckle, to which Aaron just casually winks like it’s nothing.
“Was it?” His lips press to my cheek. “Shit. I hope it was still okay.”
“Meh. I was expecting a quicker fuck.”
“Next time,” he promises with a smile. “We should go to Vegas and get married.”
I shake my head, bursting out into laughter. But the worst part, I almost agree, wouldn’t that idea be totally crazy. We’re only twenty-one. Well, he is. I won’t be for another two days. And besides, he doesn’t even mean it. It’s the post-orgasm talking. “I’ll take that as a compliment, you know.”
He snorts. “What for? I did all the work.”
“Excuse you? You got to hold me in your arms and look at me. That’s pretty tiring, you know? Plus, my pussy isn’t accessible for every guy I tumble across, so technically, I did more work than you.”
Aaron removes the condom from him, knotting it, zips up his pants. He picks up his wallet from the floor, then starts looking around us. When he spots a trashcan that must be owned by one of the food stalls, he turns back to look at me. “To no one but me.”
My eyebrows lower. “What?”
“Your pussy is not accessible for anyone but me, Sofia.” He reaches underneath my skirt, pulling on my panties to let them snap back into place.
“Aaron…”
“I mean it,” he says, and walks toward the trashcan to throw the used condom away. It’s a miracle they even keep some back here. “I just fucked my childhood crush. The one I promised to marry in the future. There is no fucking way I will ever allow any other man but me to touch you, Sofia. Notone.”

“Are you coming with us tothe cinema?” Sofia asks, currently putting her hair up into a bun. She spent the last thirty minutes doing her makeup without saying so much as a word to me, so excuse me when I flinch when she suddenly starts to speak out of the blue.
I shake my head, though she probably can’t see it. “Nah. I wouldn’t understand a single word anyway, that would be a waste of money for me. You have fun though.”
She turns around on her chair, pouting at me. I almost cave at the expression, simply because she looks so goddamn adorable that I feel bad for saying no. But I have things to do, things to organize for tomorrow.
“So, uh, I was wondering,” I start, “what if Colin and Lily came here for New Year’s? Colin said they were looking to go somewhere else for New Year’s because Italy is getting boring, or so he believes. I doubt Lily feels that way.”
Sofia shrugs. “Sounds good. I always wondered what spending New Year’s with you and Lily would be like, so, please, invite them.”
“Thought about me a lot, huh?” I smirk at her sheepishly, earning myself an annoyed eyeroll which only makes me chuckle.
“They could stay here. I bet my parents don’t mind them staying in our guest room for a day or two.”
“Alright. I’ll ask them then.” I mean, ask her parents because, well, it will be a little longer than just New Year’s and the day after, but Sofia doesn’t know that yet.
She gets up from her seat, walking across the room to get dressed. I’d love to just sit here and watch, but that feels a little too creepy, so instead I take my phone to send Colin a text.
Aaron:How about you guys come to Germany for tomorrow?
Colin:Why, getting bored of spending time with Sofia one on one?
Aaron:It’s her birthday tomorrow, moron. I thought it’d be cool if she could spend the day with Lily as that was off the charts for years.
