“You’re my brother’s girlfriend, get over it,” he scoffed, “you should know you’re one of the better girlfriends Aiden’s had tho.” More like the best, but he was never gonna admit that. Usually, he couldn’t care less, unless his last “love” who ended up making him almost drown in liquor. “Such a warm welcome..” 

“Fuck off,” she huffed under her breath, her eyes darting towards his trying to give him a sign of warning. “One of the better.... That was half a compliment,” she pointed to him. “What do you expect?” 

“Don’t think I’m gonna turn down a compliment,” he mumbled whilst his thumb brushed across the top of her hand. “You’re lucky Blondie go rampage on bitches.” A low hum left his lips, sorta surprised when she mentioned getting a labrador. “A fit lab or a fat lab?” Raising an eyebrow, he looked down at her. “I don’t know about that. One day can mean a lotta things.”

Humming in response, she brought his hand up to her lips, pressing a soft kiss as she met his eyes. “She’s my fierce girl that’s for sure,” Juliet spoke, laughing at the thought of a bigger lab running around. “The big ones need homes too. Plus, it’s just more of them to love. Hey.. one day means soon to me.”

Aiden could never say no to her, didn’t matter if they already had two dogs. They both knew they had enough time and love for more, and like she said; space of room on the bed. “I’m not gonna argue on that one,” he hummed, as well as puckering his lips when thinking about what kind of dog breed she’d want. The only thing he hoped for was for Blondie to accept it. “I do like me-sized-dogs,” he shrugged, “so we should go check that out one day?”

Yeah sure, she was spoiled but it wasn’t by anyone but him and while she was needy he seemed more than willing to give it to her. “You’re not?” She squeezed his hand, closing her eyes momentarily as she pressed onto him, mesmerized by his body heat. “Kinda want it to be a girl... Maybe a lab,” she shrugged. “You’re too good to me.”

“You think everyone’s annoying, so why fucking bother, like, calm your tits,” he shrugged, mimicking her face instantly. “Fine.” He kinda needed to get his stuff, so maybe he should just keep his mouth shut from now on. 

“Jesus, I feel like you’re confused on how this works... You don’t talk to me like I’m one of the many girls that follows you around and lets you talk to them like that. So you calm your tits,” she mocked. Her smile faded as she rolled her eyes, strolling up to their building. “Welcome back, shit head.” 

“That’s why you’re still keeping up with my brother?” he huffed, smiling just for the hell of it. “What the fuck are you; my mom?” Rolling his eyes, he started to recognize the street. “Whatever, Juliet. You’re not in charge.”

“Oh shove it,” she huffed, shaking her head, already finding him too tiring. “What the shit, no, but you’re annoying like I imagine a child would be,” she narrowed her eyes, making a face at him. “And you’re not coming in if you tell me to shut up again.” 

Aiden smiled back at her once their eyes met. She seemed calm, at least she sure acted like it, and hopefully, she was. “Make me,” he hummed and pulled her tighter. “Yeah, I still don’t know why yall do that. And just because there’s more room in bed doesn’t mean we should get another dog, you know.”

If it wasn’t for his body keeping her warm, she’d be freezing right about now but as she got pulled closer the more relaxed she felt. She moved her head to have her lips next to his, pressing them to the corner of his mouth. “Because you’re the best pillow around and maybe... it should?”

“Alright,” he spoke along with a crooked smile. All that was missing now was a blanket, and then they would look like some hardcore American Christmas movie. Cheesy as hell, but now he couldn’t care less. He felt hella comfortable with her against his chest, with her solid heartbeat and warm body. “A creepy-ass schmuck,” he agreed, rolling his eyes while he was at it. “They’re the only lips I want, idiot.” His arms bumped her carefully, like a small tease. “Giant’s smart, he knows the bed’s comfortable as fuck… and Blondie, who I thought was smart, is sleeping in his bed. So, maybe just stick with those two assbutts.”

Closing her eyes for a moment, the girl kept her eyes on their legs and their hands. How much he hated her old boss always made her smile, only he could care so much about a tiny little man coming for her. “Shut up,” she smiled, turning her head to look at him. “There gonna be the only ones you get,” she praised looking at his green eyes. “Maybe we should but I think in our giant bed we all have enough room yet we all kinda gravitate towards you.

“Best idea I’ve heard all day,” he sighed and entwined his fingers with hers as soon as they touched. To relax like this was the best kind of relaxing. Better than holding a good, smoked glass of scotch in his hand, and that itself was heaven. Still, the circumstances could’ve been better - his girlfriend was still bruised up and had a hard time. Something he had to remind himself of constantly. “Yeah?” he asked for more, didn’t matter if art wasn’t his… thing. However, watching her make art was just awesome… and kinda hot. “You think? I got my favorite lips right here.” A certain turbulence arose in his body when being reminded of Ryan, thogh he wasn’t gonna let that ruin the rest of the night. “But I like Giant… hell, gimme a chihuahua, I don’t care.”

“I’ll call in a minute,” she told him, nuzzling to him her free hand going up to bunch his shirt in her hand as pain shifted through her briefly. This felt like heaven, like something she could rely on and look forward to. “Yeah, it was really cool, way better than where I used to work and the paintings my old boss used to paint. What a schmuck,” she mused. “You’re just saying that ‘cause they’re the only lips you got but yeah –– no. No chihuahua’s, they yap too much and Giant sleeps on us too often.” 

“You wanna bet?” Jax asked her. “Can you just fucking leave it? It’s nothing big.” This girl, she never gave up, it seemed. Maybe that’s why she was still with Aiden; never giving up. “I won’t, as long as you shut up about how much of a shit show it is.” If she’d only know how much shit he was doing.

“Yeah, I fuckin’ do,” she said, her eyes widening as he tempted her. “Have you met me? Leaving things is not what I’m known for.” Shaking her head, she crossed her arms. “Don’t tell me to shut up. Got it?”
