The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden)

Chapter 13

Sophie’s pov

I gasped when I saw Carson’s fist flying towards Aiden’s jaw. Reacting quickly. Aiden swiftly dodges the

knuckles and gave one of his own.

It landed smack on Carson’s jawbone and I’m quick to slide out of the booth before the two injure me in

their stupidity.

Rena and the other girls scream as they scramble out of their booths when the boys began to throw

fists at each other. The sounds of bones breaking bounced off the walls of the diner.

“Aiden stop it!” I yelled, not sure why I was calling out his name instead of Carson’s

Realizing my mistake, I shouted. “Carson, please stop!”

Aiden was on top of him, throwing his fist on his jaw and anywhere he could get. He had the upper

hand and was winning

His friends, Ryland and Austin stood on the sidelines, both with smirks as they watch their friend beat

up a completely innocent boy

Rena and the girls still annoyingly screamed though now put out their phones to video the altercation

“What the hell is going on here!?” Mila screamed from somewhere in the back. I didn’t want to remove

my focus on Aiden and Carson so! didn’t quite make sure of where exactly her voice came from. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Stop them! Don’t just stand there! Stop them!” I yelled at Ryland and Austin while backing away as the

two boys kept going at it until blood was dripping out of Carson’s nose and a purplish coloring was

quickly painting under Aiden’s eye.

Ryland rolls his eyes while Austin smirked and winked at me. “He’s fighting for something he’s been

needing since forever. I say let the guy for what is his.” Was his words as he turned away from me

completely and put his focus on the two fighting boys.

His words confused me to the point my brain gave up on interpreting.

“Break it up you two!” Mila screamed and rushed over to me. She tugs me away just in time before

Carson fell on top of me.

“If you two don’t stop right now I’m calling the police! My finger is hovering just above the call button.”

The owner of the diner roared loud enough to crack through the loud grunts the boys gave off.

Hearing the owner’s words, Ryland and Austin seem to think it was the best time to pull Aiden off

Carson.

As soon as they do so, I rushed over to Carson and helped him sit up. “I’ll fucking kill you!” Aiden

roared, thrashing in the hold of his friends.

Carson spat out the blood from his mouth and smirked up at Aiden. “Fuck you.”

I fall on my knees beside Carson, feeling completely awful that I may have been the cause of this,

*I’ll go get a damp cloth to wipe the blood. And some ice.” She told me and disappeared to the back

again.

“Are you okay?” I asked and then winced when I realized it was a very stupid question.

Carson looks at me and I cringe inwardly. Aiden had done a number on him and if this was a match,

the winner would be pretty clear,

He grins, showcasing his blood stained teeth. “Well, I’ve felt better before. But I did just defend your

honor so I’m okay with a little pain.”

I smiled. I suppose he did just defend my honor. Something no male has ever done before.

It makes me feel bitter that I was pinning over a guy who was nothing but a bully to me. A guy who was

not worth my time.

I should feel disgusted that I feel such things for him. And in a way I did, but in another way, I knew I

might not be able to stop wanting Aiden.

“Let me go, Ryland. Let me rearrange this motherfucker’s face even more!” Aiden growls, thrashing in

Ryland and Austin’s hold even more until they were literally skidding and trying to dig their heels into

the floor to have a better grip on Aiden.

Though if I was being honest, Aiden looked like he was this close to breaking free from their hold

My smile shakes at Carson. “I’m sorry Carson.”

Carson shook his head. “You really have nothing to apologize for. This wasn’t your fault and besides,

there are plenty of ways you can make this up to me.” He grinned again and I resist the urge to gag. I

was never a fan of blood

Aiden growls, not caring that the owner again shouts that he would call the cops if he continues the

fight.

I tried to ignore him as best as I could as I try to focus on Carson’s words. “What do you mean?” I

asked shyly when his eyes fell on my lips

They don’t tingle like how they had done when Aiden’s stormy eyes are on them but I try to push those

thoughts out of my mind.

Suddenly Carson looks a bit nervous.” I know today is our first date and it barely progressed. But I’m

usually right with these things and my gut is telling me to ask you this question I saved up for the

ending minutes of our date.”

My heart began to pick up its pace. I had an inkling of what that question was and I knew I wasn’t

ready. But I also didn’t want to hurt Carson’s feelings especially when he could’ve gotten seriously hurt

taking on Aiden to defend my honor.

Carson draws in a breath and for the second time for today…..everything goes in a blur.

“Be my girlfriend?” Carson asked, completely stunning me and everyone around us, though I should

have expected it.

As soon as those words are out of his mouth, my eyes shot up on their own to face Aiden. His eyes are

angry, no they are furious as they glared down at Carson in pure hatred.

His friends looked shocked by Carson’s words.

“You know since I did defend your honor and all. I think I have proven that I can be a good boyfriend.

Carson joked when he heard nothing but crickets.

“Oh my God Aiden! Are you okay baby?” Rena comes rushing towards Aiden’s side with a very visible

overly worried look.

She quickly wrapped her arms around him and started fussing over his darkening purplish under eye.

Aiden doesn’t push her away, no, his focus was solely on Carson and killing him by using his eyes. “I’m

fine.” He growled.

Seeing this had something like jealousy surging through me until all i can focus on was that emotion

specifically. It clouded my mind and my judgment and that led me to respond to Carson’s question

monotone.

“Yes, I’d love to be your girlfriend Carson.”

I said all those words while looking directly at Aiden with a fierce look. His gaze turned even a darker

color of anger and disbelief. In fact, he was sporting many different emotions. But the fury outweighed

them all.

“Really? Carson asked in disbelief yet sounded happy. I nodded, not really paying attention to him but

keeping my eyes on Aiden to gauge more of his reaction

Somehow, deep deep down, I loved that I was hurting him as much as he had hurt me. I loved how the

look of hurt flashed in his eyes when I agreed to be Carson’s girlfriend,

And as sick as it sounded, I was satisfied that I wasn’t the only jealous one.

“Fuck this.” Aiden snarls, glaring at both Carson and me, and pushed his way out of Ryland and

Austin’s grip. He storms out of the diner with Rena on his tail, calling out to him. The bell chimes loudly

as he makes his grand exit.

“Where did ass hat run off to?” Mila asked in confusion finally coming back into the room.

I shrugged acting like I didn’t care about Aiden at all and take the damp cloth from her outstretched

hand when she reaches beside me.

I didn’t fail to notice Ryland and Austin shake their heads in disappointment before leaving to catch up

with their pissed off friend.
