This is just a bit of filler before some more serious stuff, hope you enjoy.

Chapter 11

Belle sighed as her back arched involuntarily, her body raising slightly to meet Aden’s as his lips trailed down her neck, her fingers ran lightly up his arms her nails pressing gently into his skin. Aden groaned as her fingers skimmed the side of his neck and face before running them through his hair pulling his lips back to hers. She smiled as she felt his arms wrap tightly around her waist pulling her body even closer, his fingers ran teasingly along her spine under her shirt and she could feel her pulse quicken as excitement and lust filled her head making it fuzzy and she liked the feeling, in fact she loved it. She could definitely get used to this kind of fuzzy. And it was that thought that made the laugh escape her lips and caused Aden to pull away from her at the sound.

“Something funny?” He asked from his position above her, but she merely smiled at him and he could tell that she was holding in another chuckle, groaning again but this time for another reason he pulled further away from her before turning and flopping down on the bed beside her. “Well I can proudly say I’ve never had that affect on a girl before.” He told her sarcasm tingeing his voice.

“Aww,” she smiled. “don’t be like that!” She told him while pulling herself up leaning on one arm while letting the other wrap around his chest. “Come on.”

“Wanna tell me why you were laughing?” He asked his tone still put out.

“Come on.” She begged though she was still smiling. “I didn’t mean to damage your ego Aden, please don’t be mad.” She asked pouting at him, knowing he couldn’t hold on to his anger at her.

“Belleeee!” He moaned painfully. “You are not allowed use that face on me, not when you just laughed like that.” He finished off.

“I'm sorry, I really was enjoying myself.” She told him hoping to finish the conversation.

“Why did you laugh then?” He demanded. “If you were ‘enjoying yourself’.” He finished condescendingly.”

“Because you make me feel fuzzy, and I never liked feeling fuzzy,” She tried to explain.

“Oh that makes me feel good.” He interrupted.

“Aden you’re not getting it,” She laughed refusing to be offended by his tone of voice. “Fuzzy was always bad, it was when I was over medicated and felt like I was trapped in my own head and then I would be really mean to everyone or really disgustingly loving, it was awful. But now with you I just feel happy and excited and really really good. And you make me wanna feel like that, that’s why I laughed because I’ve never wanted to feel that before . That's it I swear!” She finished smiling down at him hopefully from where she lay half on his chest.

Rolling his eyes at the puppy dog eyes she was giving him Aden leaned up to kiss her gently.

“So you’re not mad at me anymore?” She asked when they broke apart.

Grinning at her Aden shook his head. “I wasn’t mad at you in the first place, don’t think I could have been if I wanted to be.” He explained and was rewarded with a bright smile before she lay back down in his embrace.

“You make me feel fuzzy too.” He told her after a couple of minutes of comfortable silence.

“Stay tonight?” She asked and he could tell she was happy with his last comment.

“I thought we weren’t doing that anymore.” He teased but they both knew he would stay.

“This from the guy I practically have to kick out of my room kicking and screaming every night?” She retorted jokingly

“Whatever.” He sighed just enjoying their closeness.

Silence once again engulfed the room as they got lost in their own thoughts. But was broken by belles’ quite voice. "Wanna tell secrets?" She asked he voice barely above a whisper.

“Belleeee!” He moaned painfully. “You are not allowed use that face on me, not when you just laughed like that.” He finished off.

Loved that.

For a moment there I thought Aden was going to get more mad at her but I am happy that they worked it out. So much better.

Belle's explanation to Aden was lovely.

Chapter 12

“Secrets” Aden questioned her softly.

“Yeah,” she responded just as quietly. “you know, who you have a crush on, have you ever shoplifted, why we ended up here?” she offered in explanation.

“Oh.” He replied, not really knowing what to say. He’d never really had to explain himself before not willingly, usually it was out of his hands or everyone just knew; whether it be from police reports or the gossip mill also known as Coleen.

At his silence Belle shrugged, “I'm sorry I'm not trying to be nosy I just thought that maybe after everything with that’s happened with us, that…” but she didn’t get to continue as Aden cut off her rambling words.

“Belle,” he started. “I want you to know me, all of me just like I wanna know everything about you.” He told her. “But I’ve never had to put it all into words; I don’t even know what to say where to start. He tried to explain and felt her hug his body tighter.

“Aden…” Belle began but he silenced her with a finger.

“No you’re right, we should talk about this stuff, I'm just…” He paused, trying to voice what had been weighing on his mind since that first day when she kissed him in the reception. “Afraid that you’ll hate me. I want you to know Belle, in fact I need you to but I refuse to loose you!”

“Aden,” She tried again and this time he didn’t stop her. “what was it you said earlier ‘you couldn’t be mad at me even if you wanted to be’, well I couldn’t leave you even if I wanted to, you’re stuck with me.” She finished and felt the arm he had wrapped around her tighten gently. “You’re not the only one with secrets.”

Neither spoke their eyes trained on the ceiling of the dimly lit room both trying to collect their thoughts in a way that would allow them to explain their pasts without damaging their future with each other.

“My mom died when I was six,” Aden began to talk breaking the heavy silence that had fallen, one of them had to start talking he figured it may as well be him. “That’s when my dads drinking started getting out of control, I guess he really loved her, I personally can’t imagine him loving anyone other than himself,” he scoffed internally at the thought and realised his anger at his father had not yet dissipated, “at least I couldn’t , it makes more sense now though. Anyway” He continued. “we had some problems because of his drinking and the school stepped in made a complaint about me and my brothers being absent a lot that’s why… that’s when… “Aden stopped for a second attempting to swallow the lump forming in his throat, he refused to shed anymore tears over that monster. “My granddad moved in with us.” His voice broke as the words left his mouth. “To help take care of me and my brothers.” He sneered disgustedly as anger began to build at the thought of the dead man.

Stopping again to try and control his emotions he realised that he didn’t feel pressured. Any other time he’d talked about any of the events that had led up to his enrolment in the ‘Summer Bay Clinic’ he’d felt forced, even if it was when he was talking to Roman or his therapist, no one had meant for it to feel that way but even if they were family like Nic and Morag he still couldn’t help it, it always felt forced. But he’d also never wanted anyone to know before, he wanted Belle to know, and to understand even if he was terrified of her reaction he trusted her, in fact he realised that he loved her or was very close to doing so. This realisation is what pushed him to keep going with his explanation.

“He wasn’t a good man Belle, he did things that …” He blinked back the angry tears that had sprung to his eyes. “that should never be done to anyone, specially not a kid.” He could feel Belle’s body stiffen at his words knowing she understood what he was telling her. He rushed on hoping to finish what he had to tell her before he was over come by the emotions this topic drew up in him. “He used to come into my room, and I would hide but he would always find me, and then nothing would stop him… nothing.” He finished quietly. He closed his eyes as the tears leaked down his cheeks and he could feel Belle shift beside him, her fingers gently wiped away the tears that had escaped as her head came to rest in the crook of his neck and he could feel her own tears run slowly across his skin.

“Aden,” she whispered anguish tainting her almost silent voice but he could hear her in the silence of the night. “I'm sorry I shouldn’t have forced you to tell me that, I had no idea, I'm sorry so sorry…” But she stopped as Aden leaned down and kissed her gently.

“You don’t have to apologise to me, not for this, I wanted to tell you I needed to tell you I was just scared.” he told her.

“But Belle that’s not why I'm here.” He began again after a few minutes of trying to calm himself, Belle whispering comfortingly in his ear. “I’ve been getting help, therapy, since I moved in with Roman. I did something stupid.” he tried to explain. Pausing again and hoping that after he told her she would be as understanding as she was now.

“Aden anything that you could tell me anything you’ve done, it would never scare me away from you, it couldn’t.”

“I tried to kill my dad.” He deadpanned in response to her calm words.

“Oh.” she replied momentarily shocked at his confession.

“Yeah not so easy to understand once you here it is it.” he mumbled.

“Then explain it.” she retorted calmly refusing to let him push her away physically or emotionally.

“He went missing over two years ago, after the court decided my living with Roman would be permanent. Then a couple months ago I found him in our old house he was in a really bad way, he couldn’t breathe right and he was coughing blood.” He grimaced at the memory. “He started to say all this stuff, he wasn’t making any sense,” he continued frowning at the memory. “I kept trying to get him to the hospital but he wouldn’t listen to me that or he didn’t hear me I'm not sure.” Aden paused wrapped up in the memory of that day. “He was drunk. Again.” He told her disbelievingly. “And I snapped I started shouting, I couldn’t figure out how after everything I mean he’d lost all of us, his own children, but he didn’t care. Here he was just as drunk as the last time I’d seen him.” He told her and she could here the shame tainting his voice as he lost himself in thought.

“Aden,” She interrupted. “you’re allowed be angry, he didn’t take care of you the way you should have been, the way you deserved to be.”

“He knew.” He whispered. “He knew what that b*stard was doing and he let him.” He continued at her confused stare. “It had happened to him too.”

“He told me how his dad used to come into his room just like he’d come into mine. He knew all along what was happening to me and it made me crazy. How could he let that monster in our house? I wanted to punish him.” He finished his eyes once again closed but this time not to stop the tears but from shame.

“Aden what happened to you, what he let happen you’re allowed be angry it should never have been allowed to occur.”

“I was more than angry though. I almost killed him. He needed medical attention and I just sat there and listened to him beg for it, I barely got him to the hospital on time. I was so set on punishing him I was willing to watch him die.” he admitted his voice conveying how appalled he was at his own actions

“But you didn’t.”

“Belle,” he pushed. “I wanted him to die.”

“No you didn’t.” She stopped him. “You didn’t, if you wanted him dead he would be, you saved him Aden you got him help.” Belle urged him hating the self loathing that he was projecting. “You saved yourself!”

“How can you still be here when you know what I did.”

“Because I care about you, because you’re so important to me, Aden you have to understand how much you mean to me.” She told him. “What happened, all of it, none of it was your fault. None of it.” she stressed her final words.

“How can you be so understanding?” He asked confusion lacing his voice.

“Because I love you.” she mumbled shocked at her own words.

“What?” He asked unsure if he had heard the words she had muttered lowly to herself correctly.

She smiled wryly at him an unamused smile forming on her lips. “We’re perfect for each other. You tried to kill your father, I tried to kill myself.”
