Chapter 31

Uncommon Phobias

I'm exhausted, my body sore and tired, but I still get up in time for school.

I decide then and there to not think about Jake at all, every time his name even

pops my head, I force myself to think about uncommon phobias.

I've ran through two of them today already and it's barely 7am.

Cleptophobia: Fear of stealing

into

Mageirocophobia: Fear of cooking.

Alex and I used to go through lists of these, fascinated by them.

I lock the front door to my house and when I turn to start my walk to school, I gasp

in

surprise.

Aiden stands there, leaning on the hood of his car with a smile on his face.

It's his careless smile that lets me know he is still completely oblivious to what happened between Jake and I yesterday and the night before.

My heart pounds in my chest but I smile. It's a genuine smile even if I did have to force it on to mask my shock of finding him there. "Aiden, what are you doing here?"

He shrugs, wrapping his arm around my waist. He kisses me slow, careful and with a gentle swipe of his tongue. I get butterflies in my stomach, which I'm so glad he can still

ignite.

"I missed you yesterday. Are you feeling better?"

Siderodromophobia: Fear of trains or railroads.

I nod, feeling just a bit bad for having to lie to him about feeling sick. "Much better."

He smiles down at me, "I wanted to give you a ride to school."

He opens the passenger door for me and I climb in, setting my bag on the floor. "You didn't have to. It's really not that far of a walk from here."
