OKAY! So here is a new story to my Aaden and Morgan series. Hope you guys enjoy it! Its gonna be short and fun. Reviews are much apreciated :)
He stared at her from across the room. She was the new girl, the one that had mysteriously moved here from Canada. She was quiet and kept mostly to herself, but something about her made people surround her as the planets surround the sun. Most importantly, she was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen.
He was far from perfect. His mother and father had separated when he was young. She had her problems and he just couldn't deal with it anymore. When his father remarried he thought he'd hate her. But then his baby sister was born and nothing mattered more than her. His life seemed perfect around outsiders. He was on the football team, he got straight A's and he was surrounded by people. But he was empty.
"Jason?" His thoughts broke as his social teacher called his name.
Jason flushed as he realized he'd been staring at his crush. He glanced back quickly. Once his eyes locked on her she gave a shy smile and returned to her books, "Uh, I'm sorry, can you repeat the question, Mrs. Kenly?"
Mrs. Kenly shook her head and returned to the lesson.

Aaden walked up the stairs to Morgan's apartment. Getting her key out of her side bag she carefully opened the door and sighed. She was finally home. She could finally have a weekend with Morgan, if he wasn't called on another case. Of course Reid would be there too. He seemed to be spending more and more time around the apartment since Morgan and Reid started dating. She didn't mind. She actually found him quite fascinating.
Aaden dropped her bag in her messy room and collapsed on the couch with another deep sigh. She turned on the TV for background noise and let her mind travel through her day.
School was a drag. Aaden probably wouldn't get up every morning if it wasn't for Morgan tickling her until she couldn't stop laughing. She had no problems with friends but they all seemed fake to her. She couldn't bring herself to trust any of them. But in every situation, you can always find the good. Aaden didn't know what she felt for Jason, but she knew he was different.
He was perfect in every way possible and yet he didn't let it get to his head. He seemed to be nice to everyone and treated everyone with respect. She'd never talked to him before even if they were in three courses together during the semester.
"Aaden?" A familiar voice made her lose her train of thought. Aaden glanced behind to find Morgan standing in the hallway.
She smiled, "Hey! Did you get the weekend off?"
Morgan smiled and shrugged out of his jacket, "So far so good, baby girl! I'm all yours this weekend; we can do whatever you want."
Morgan sat on the couch beside her and frowned, "Why are you watching the channel guide?" he chuckled as he grabbed the forgotten remote from the table and turned off the TV, "Something on your mind?"
Aaden blushed. She hadn't realized what she'd been watching, "I'm fine, I was just thinking,"
"Thinking about what?"
"Stuff," Aaden answered quickly.
Morgan gave her a questioning look but dropped the subject. He'd make her open up later, "So, since I've got the night off, I was thinking we could go out to dinner. You can pick the place," he shot her winning smile.
"Sure, why not. Can we go to that Italian place?" She batted her eyelashes.
Morgan chuckled, "Anything for you."
Aaden shot him a puzzled look, "Um, where's Reid?"
Morgan chuckled, "He insisted on giving us time together spouting facts about the necessities of quality family time without intruders. I tried explaining to him that he was family but he insisted."
Aaden smiled and shook her head, she was however happy to have time alone with Morgan.
***/**/***
Morgan and Aaden arrived at the small Italian restaurant within the hour. A nice waitress brought them to a small booth in the far corner. They looked at the menu in silence.
The waitress returned, "Hi, my name is Marcy, can I start you off with something to drink?" She smiled sweetly at Morgan who brushed off the gesture.
"I think we're ready to order," He said, "What do you want baby girl?"
The waitress looked defeated as she turned to Aaden, but managed a smile. Aaden ordered her food and Morgan followed. Once the waitress was out of site, Aaden started laughing.
"Oh you think that's funny don't you?"
Aaden nodded, "I think you hurt her feelings," she said in a mocking voice.
Morgan laughed and balled up his napkin, throwing it at her, "You know I should just get a sign for my forehead that says taken and gay,"
Aaden giggled; "You better hurry up with that sign before you have a line up of women outside our apartment door!" She smiled.
Morgan gave a sarcastic laugh as the waitress came back with their food and drinks. Aaden held back a giggle as the waitress flashed Morgan another flirtatious smile and left.
They started eating in silence and then Morgan spoke, "So are you going to tell me what's on your mind or do I have to guess?"
Aaden blushed and stared at her plate. She didn't know if she wanted to talk about it yet. It just seemed so awkward and new to her.
"C'mon baby girl, I know something's bugging you and you can't keep it from me forever."
Aaden sighed. She knew it was inevitable. She was about to explain herself when a group of familiar boys were guided into a booth beside them, Jason bringing up the rear. Aaden cursed in her head and lower her head as she blushed a deep shade of red, just her luck.
Morgan made the connection faster than Aaden would have liked, "Oh I see, it's a boy problem."
Aaden tried to glare at him but ended up blushing even more, "So, which one is he?"
Aaden glanced over at their table carefully, "Black jacket team jacket and short brown hair," she said quickly before lowering her head again.
Morgan glanced at the young boys, "I see," he tried not to laugh at Aaden's reaction.
"This isn't funny!" she exclaimed as she in turn through her napkin at Morgan.
"Baby girl, have you even talked to him?"
Aaden lowered her head once again, "No"
Just as Morgan was about to answer, Aaden glanced at the table and saw Jason walking over to their table.
"Oh, no, what do I do?" she pleaded Morgan with her eyes.
"Don't worry he's probably just going to the bathroom or something, he's definitely not coming here," Morgan glanced over at Jason, "Scratch that, he's totally coming here,"
Aaden glared at him, she wanted desperately to scream at Morgan but Jason came up to their table, "Hey, you're Aaden right?"
Aaden tried not to blush as she nodded her head.
"Awesome, we have social together right?"
"Ya, and Math and science," She said quickly and then lowered her gaze.
"Oh, right, well anyways, I just wanted to say hi. We never really talk in class."
Aaden smiled and glanced at Morgan who was giving the kid a hard glare.
Jason seemed to notice his presence, "Well, um, I better get back to the guys, but, um, we should definitely talk at school, um, see ya," Jason headed back to his table.
Aaden turned back to Morgan who was trying not to laugh, "Well, he seems nice,"
Alright! How was that? I really hope you enjoyed! I will hopefully have a new chapter in a few days :) Have a great november break :)
