Battle Suit
Olive’s Pov:
Cinder was out for murder when she arrived at my house the day before we left for vacation.
I was packing my bags at the time, and Cinder grabbed me as soon as she entered the room. She pinned me on my bed, and her eyes glittered like she was ready to spill the juiciest gossip.
Cinder’s sudden attack caught me off guard, and all I could do was stare up at her, confused.
She cupped my jaw with one hand and stared straight into my eyes. “Olive, do not lie to me. Are those rumors true?”
“What rumors?” I averted my eyes sheepishly. There had been so many things happening lately, so I didn’t know which piece of gossip made its way to Cinder.
“Some of my circles are saying Vincent’s girlfriend cheated on him with Aaron, and that the two of them actually fought over her. Babe… you haven’t been exposed, right?”
I sighed and closed my eyes. News had traveled fast, and the world was smaller than I thought. It wasn’t even that long ago, but apparently it had reached Cinder through the grapevine.
“Olive, if you don’t tell me right now, I swear I’ll-”
She didn’t even finish speaking before her hands groped my chest, then moved along my sides to tickle me. My eyes shot open and I blushed bright red, and I begged for mercy.
“Fine, fine! I’ll tell you!”
With a satisfied smile, Cinder pulled her hands away. “Go
ahead then.”
“It’s just… complicated.”
The excitement in Cinder’s eyes glimmered as she hugged my waist tight. “Out with it then! What happened?”
“Well, I plan to do two things: breakup the old and h*ok up the new one. Vincent and I went to a party, and I wanted to finally tell Vincent what’s been going on. After breaking up, I planned on confessing my feelings to Aaron, so I told him to meet me in the bathroom…”
Cinder gave an exaggerated gasp. “Wow! And then what? Did the confession succeed?”
I thought about what happened in the bathroom that day, and my face turned even more red. “I uh… I didn’t get to the chance.”
Seeing my blushing face, Cinder raised her eyebrows in surprise. “It looks like you guys did something else in the bathroom then.”
I shook my head. “It’s not what you think. We didn’t have sex. Even though he was very persistent, fooling around in the bathroom was not going to work for me.”
“Tsk, it sounds like you’re really showing off Aaron’s skills!”” Cinder smirked as she teased.
I tried to deny it, but the suggestive smile on my face gave me away. I cleared my throat and hurriedly changed the subject. “Then when I came out of the bathroom, I ran into Vincent and Emily. I caught her hiding behind a curtain! I wish you
could’ve seen the look on his face.”
“I’m sure Vincent wasn’t the only one with something to
hide…”
“… You’re right. I was embarrassed as hell when Aaron came out of the bathroom after I did. He and Vincent both almost got into a fight! But Vincent was too scared to throw the first punch.”
“That’s for sure. Aaron is the second son of the Morris Group. Vincent can’t afford trouble with his family.” Cinder sneered.
I nodded and told Cinder about playing ‘Never Have I Ever’ afterward, and she groaned.
“So Vincent and Aaron swapped dates? In front of everyone? And you’re going on vacation with Aaron now? The one and only Aaron Morris? J*sus Christ! You’re really pushing it!”
After I finished telling Cinder the story, she pulled me into a tight hug and peppered my face with k**ses. “I’ve never heard of someone tying Aaron down… He’s head over heels for you! What did you do? Is it because of your t*ts, or is it…”
Cinder giggled and slipped her icy f**gers underneath my shirt, gently caressing my waist with her f**gertips.
“Cinder, stop it! That tickles…”
My body wriggled to escape Cinder’s grasp. “By the way, I’m sorry. I can’t go to Switzerland with you after all.”
When I said this, I couldn’t help but look at Cinder’s expression. I was afraid that she’d be angry. After all, this was something we agreed on a long time ago. Now that I was
choosing to spend Christmas with Aaron last minute…
But I didn’t expect Cinder to shrug casually. “It’s alright. I already got a buff kid as a date for the trip, and he just turned 21. I was actually worried that we’d make too much noise and bother you.”
“Thank you, sis… Looks like you’re quite the stud-chaser yourself.”
“Well, that makes the both of us.” Cinder winked at me, and I couldn’t help but laugh. “But honestly, I never expected you’d win Aaron over. I guess my Olive is as seductive as ever, 24/7… especially at night.”
Cinder pointedly looked me up and down, and this time, there was something… unkind about her scrutiny. A tinge of redness in her gaze. I hurriedly covered my br**sts, and my cheeks blushed from her words.
“Let’s go to the mall and buy you a new bikini. It’s my treat since we’re celebrating you finally scraping that s*um off the bottom of your shoe.”
With that, Cinder excitedly dragged me into the mall and walked straight into Victoria’s Secret. She immediately got busy picking out short bustier dresses and bikinis.
“Seriously?” I held up the two thin pieces of leopard-print fabric Cinder threw at me.
“Don’t be shy, Olive. Aaron won’t mind.” Cinder handed me another black lace T-back, which left the chest exposed, and I blushed.
Suddenly, Cinder looked a little more solemn. “But I have to warn you, Aaron is known for being a pl*yboy for a reason. Don’t expect him to come back to you after this trip. I don’t want you to get hurt.”
I pursed my l*ps. “Don’t worry. I know.”
I know Cinder was trying to look out for me, but her words were a splash of cold water. Still, they did little to quench my passion for Aaron. At the end of the day, she wasn’t involved. This was between me and Aaron.
I was happy with the way Vincent used to treat me, but it didn’ t matter since he cheated on me. Even though Aaron has a reputation for being a womanizer… I knew how much he loved me. That was enough for now. If anything happens in the future, we’ll deal with it when we get there.
