Chapter 10: Are you done playing yet...?

"Was she the one? The perfume from the other day?" August Maijune didn't manage to ask the question on her mouth tip after seeing the stern look and aura Aaron Saint gave. She decided not to be a busybody and enjoy her food.

EDEN ESTATES.

SAINT VILLA

HALL.

Aaron Saint watched August Maijune as she changed into her slippers and went to the hall and he spoke.

''Why are you not asking me anything? Your face seems to suggest that you have a lot of questions to ask me about that woman?

''Will you answer any of the questions I will ask you?'' August Maijune asked back and turned to look at him.

''No, not now. I will tell you when I'm ready''. Aaron Saint replied.

''I thought as much. Then, don't ask me again. I don't talk about people I don't like''. August Maijune said and turned away. She went to her room leaving Aaron Saint alone.

...

After making sure her room was locked, August Maijune sat on her bed and thought about their encounter. Deep inside her, the moment she saw Liyah Myers, August Maijune felt Liyah Myers and Aaron Saint had something going on, something he didn't want to admit and that made her feel somewhat​ insecure. Talking about feeling insecure, August Maijune didn't know why she felt that way. She was getting too dependent on Aaron Saint which made her helpless.

She had gotten very possessive of Aaron Saint lately to the extent that even she didn't understand what kind of feelings she had towards him. August Maijune removed her coat and laid on the bed with so many thoughts clouding her mind.

In all honesty, she was just a girl who didn't know anything about herself and didn't know anything about the man she was living with. At the end of the day, they were strangers who would part ways when she regained her memories.

August Maijune felt lost at times and helpless because she couldn't do anything to help herself. She felt she needed to find out who she was, the kind of life she lived, whether she had friends or not before the accident. She had to have had a family at least. People should be looking for her, right? Why did she feel like she was abandoned?

All night, August Maijune tossed and turned in bed until sleep finally enveloped her.

At midnight, Aaron Saint opened the door to August Maijune's room with a spare key after noticing she had locked it. Aaron Saint got into the room and saw August Maijune fast asleep on the bed with the pillow and cover cast aside. Aaron Saint picked the pillow from the floor and sat on the bed closer to the sleeping girl.

He lifted her head gently and placed the pillow under, carefully not to wake her up. He then straightened the blanket and covered the girl's body. He gently brushed the girl's hair aside to revel her side profile and watched her as she slept.

He got up to go and a hand stopped him. Aaron Saint turned and saw August Maijune's hand holding unto his tightly and he sat back after struggling to free himself to no avail.

The girl suddenly voiced out a sentence sleepily ''you are mine, Aaron Saint. You're not allowed to be with another woman''.

Aaron Saint smiled and watched the girl until sleep overtook him too.

NEXT DAY.

MORNING.

August Maijune stirred and opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Aaron Saint's sleeping face closer to her. She could feel his breath on her.

She blinked twice and pinched herself to make sure it wasn't a dream. The pain made her hissed and she quickly quiet down careful not to wake him up.

August Maijune stared at him for a while until an idea suddenly came to mind and with a smile she picked her phone that Aaron Saint bought for her a few days ago from the table. August Maijune turned on the camera and moved very close to Aaron Saint's sleeping face and took a shot. She changed her position and put her head closer to Aaron Saint's head and took another shot.

August Maijune smiled feeling satisfied. She checked the photos and made sure they came out clean and clear.

With a smile she murmured ''I don't know what kind of relationship you have with that woman but I won't allow her to get closer to you. She had better not appear in front of me or else I will just show her these pictures''.

August Maijune got up to put the phone back on the table and accidentally tripped and fell on Aaron Saint's body. The phone fell and her whole body stiffened as she found her lips almost crashing on Aaron Saint's. She blushed looking at his face and her face reddened. She pursed her lips and was relieved that her fall didn't wake Aaron Saint up because his eyes were still closed. She tried to get up from his body and fell again.

Aaron Saint couldn't take it any longer and spoke as he opened his eyes ''are you done playing yet?''.

August Maijune shivered as Aaron Saint pulled her in to his embrace hugging her tight. She mustered up her courage and laughed dryly as she looked at him and replied awkwardly ''I didn't mean any harm; I was just trying to take my phone which fell down over there and accidentally tripped''.

August Maijune stopped laughing as the situation turned more awkward for her and apologised ''I'm sorry''. She said as she looked at Aaron Saint's eyes which seemed dark.

''Do you think simply saying that you are sorry could undo what you have done already?'' Aaron Saint asked in a hoarse voice.

''What did I do?'' August Maijune stuttered and struggled to get up from his body and Aaron Saint held her back tighter and spoke.

''Don't move, unless you want me to ask you to take responsibility''.

''Take responsibility for what?''. August Maijune stuttered and suddenly felt something protruding into her thighs and froze as soon as she realised what Aaron Saint was talking about. She flushed red as she remained rooted not daring to move again.

Aaron Saint sighed and spoke after seeing the shocked expression on her face.

''This is normal for every man to experience every morning; do you have to make your face look like I am going to eat you?''.

August Maijune felt her heart was no longer hers and that any moment from then, Aaron Saint could hear her heartbeat. She internally cussed and counted to five and suddenly got up at the speed of lightning and dashed into the bathroom and locked herself inside it.

Aaron Saint sat up and looked at his 'morning wood' and chastised himself 'did you have to wake up here and at this moment?'.

Aaron Saint looked at the bathroom door and got up and went out.

It was only after August Maijune heard the sound of the door opening and closing that she dared to come out of the bathroom.

August Maijune stood in the middle of the room and starred at the bed for a while and exhaled out deeply.

She subconsciously murmured ''I have never seen something like that so big''.

August Maijune covered her mouth in shock not believing she could say that. Her phone buzzed from under the bed and she bent down and took it and looked at the message from Aaron Saint asking her to come out for breakfast.

...

August Maijune quietly ate her food while stealing glances at Aaron Saint.

Aaron Saint pretended not to notice her and continued to eat his food. He finished his food and got up to go to the kitchen.

August Maijune couldn't hold back anymore at this point and decided to ask him.

''How did you get into my room? I remember I locked it last night''.

''I used the spare key. I wanted to check up on you but you held unto my hand and I fell asleep after a while. I'm sorry, it won't happen again''. Aaron Saint said to her.

August Maijune looked at Aaron Saint as he went to the kitchen to wash his plate. She felt misunderstood but couldn't say anything after hearing his apology.

For a reason, it hurt her that he was drawing a line between them. She got up and took the half-emptied plate to the sink.

''What's wrong, you didn't finish your food?''

''Not so hungry anymore'' Aaron Saint asked.

''I hope you don't misunderstand my intentions. I will never do anything you don't want''.

''Can you take me somewhere?'' August Maijune said.

''Where?'' Aaron Saint asked her.

''The place of the accident. I have never been there. I want to go there and see if it can help me to remember who I was''. August Maijune explained.

''Yes''. Aaron Saint looked at her for a while as if contemplating before he answered her.

''I will go and get ready''. August Maijune said and ran upstairs almost immediately.
