The Traps of Black Swan

'I love you more than you know.'

Despite knowing Aarvi loves him too, it was a different kind of happiness to hear her say it. A fulfillment and delight he just couldn't describe but feel.

As though hypnotized by her, he tugged her close, so close that there was barely any space left. Their nose brushed on each other letting her eyes droop, hitching her breath.

Aaron paused when their lips were just barely touching and breathed each other's air.

Aarvi could feel her heart hammering against her chest, her stomach tingling in anticipation. Aaron inhaled deeply, stealing her breath away making her feel dizzy.

His thumb caressed her cheek. He wanted to hold her in his embrace and kiss every inch of her. Shower her with all his love until she forgets everything other than his name on her lips.

Anyway, his heart shuddered at the experience she had gone through. He controlled his desire and yearned for nothing more than her sweet kiss.

His lips slightly parted to capture those sweet luscious lips but froze. Aaron shot his eyes.

'Plop.'

Aarvi choked on her breath and subconsciously flipped back before falling off the lounge on her bums.

The soundless intimate and romantic air suddenly pierced by the cry of a woman, and it left them in utter speechlessness.

The embarrassment was written all over Aarvi and Aaron's faces, but the woman's cry didn't stop dropping Aarvi's jaws.

"Oh f**k… Harder… Oh yeah… Ahmm…"

It was a cry of a woman who was wonderfully pleasured by a man.

Aaron: "..."

Could he please go and beat the cr*p out of his little brother for opening the balcony door and ruining their special moment?

'Clap.'

Both heard the door lock back, and the whimpers disappeared, leaving everything back to silence.

Aarvi had a doubt, how did the door open in the first place? Anyway, she didn't care about that.

Aaron saw her embarrassment and bewilderment replaced with anger. He could guess she was angered because her confession of love was again ruined in the end.

Aarvi stood up and grabbed the plant pot that was near to her. Even though it was heavy, she managed to lift it.

Aaron leaped off the lounge quickly and reached her before she could lose the balance and throw it on herself. Hurriedly holding the pot, he tried his best to calm her down, "Aarvi, it's too heavy… Aarvi..."

Aarvi couldn't throw it, took the smaller pot, and threw it in front of Shawn's bedroom balcony door.

'Thud.'

The pot broke, and the pitiful cactus laid on the floor. Its sacrifice failed to alert the two inside.

Aarvi bellowed, "You dirty Prince, I dare you to come out. I will kick your ass, chop you into pieces and feed you to the vultures."

Aaron stopped her before she could grab something else and throw it at the door or run-up to another side and beat his little brother. She could actually do that, and he is well aware of it.

Anyway, he was more worried about her catching the nude couple in lewd positions. 

He tried to convince her by holding her hands, but she slipped, trying to reach something else.

He breathed out and effortlessly threw his little woman on his shoulder. He went to their bedroom, giving her no chance of escape.

Aarvi shouted at him, "Aaron, let me go. Put me down. I need to civilize this dirty Prince. Aaron..."

She tried to shake him, but he tossed her on the bed and quickly locked the balcony door before they could hear anything carnal.

He was about to breathe of relief, he heard his Cupcake chide him and his brother, "What are you brothers up to?"

He turned around to see her standing on the bed, pointing her finger at him. He deduced it's their sleepless night as he had lost sleep, and she was angered.

So Saturday wasn't just a long, eventful day but also a long night, sleepless night for them.

He had thought she would curse Shawn by being hell embarrassed without daring to face him. He doubted if she forgot it or changed the subject or didn't care about what they heard.

"You guys are professional at ruining my plans." She hissed to bring him out of his thoughts.

The sea of city lights was twinkling like the stars of a galaxy underneath them. The dreamy, bright full moon and the clear sky having numerous stars were above them. She thought it's a perfect mood to confess to the dumb man.

And she did, but how did it end?

She never in her dreams thought of facing such embarrassing situations. She indeed felt awkward and also angered.

Don't novels and movies show romantic scenes for the confession of love? Why do all her efforts to get the mood just ruin like that?

"I hate you and your dirty brother. I am dumping a friend and boyfriend now. Hmph."

She was an expert at changing the mood from awkwardness to normal by being angry and leaving him helpless.

In a way, it was better for his treacherous mind and body.

However, he had hoped too much from Aarvi. He could make out her face painted red at her own thoughts, her eyes glued on his every movement cautiously.

Her eyes were dazzling by capturing the moon behind him. He stared at her enthralling eyes without knowing his gaze was too much for her to handle right now.

With the woman's cry repeating in her mind followed by every other dirty thought, Aarvi felt her face burn looking at Aaron's intense gaze.

Aaron's gaze turned soft when he noticed her look around the room and her flushed face. He closed his eyes before speaking calmly, "Aarvi Evans, sleep… Else I won't take you to the cemetery."

By the time she could look back at him, he sat at her bedside, prepared to sleep without panicking her.

Aarvi: "..."

'So only I have a dirty mind.' She thought when he laid down on the bed to Sleep.

Aarvi remembered next day plan, the cemetery is far from the city, and they have to leave early if they want to accompany Connor. Aarvi lurked under the duvet covering her from top to toe without resting on the pillow, far away from him.

Aaron: "..."

He propped his head on his fist and watched her thinking how long she would suffocate herself.

'My brain is defective.' She thought before rolling under the duvet and reaching his embrace, burying her face on his chest.

Aaron: "..."

He had thought she wouldn't dare to cuddle him, but she surprised him by wrapping her arm around his waist, snuggling to be in a comfortable position.

"Good night." Her honey voice greeted him, ready to sleep without being afraid of him.

Aaron kissed her head, caressing her hair, "I love you." 'My sweet little Cupcake.'

He still wants to break his little brother's leg for ruining their moment.

Aarvi propped her little face out. She blinked a few times, and her warm voice sounded, "I love you... Not only for what you are but for what I am when I am with you."

Aaron felt his chest tighten and craved for a kiss. He quickly buried her face on his chest and closed his eyes.

'We need to rest.' He repeated in his mind, without knowing Aarvi was again going to lose her sleep soon.
