A/N: Hey peeps, so this is kind of late to be a Christmas present, but it's the best I could do. I am swamped with work, so I'm sorry if this chapter is a bit on the short side, but it was the most I could do, and also I liked where things ended. Enjoy! ;)

~ Your eyes whispered 'Have we met?'
Across the room, your silhouette starts to make its way to me~

As today's events flash back in my mind over and over and over again I begin to groan. The drink in my hands is beginning to take an effect on my body. I close my eyes for what seemed like hours in order to try and clear my head.

I open my eyes and scan the club in an attempt to find anything, anyone, to distract me from my misery. I knew that I would just be proving rumors true, but at the moment that was the least of my worries.

Suddenly, a pair of ocean blue eyes meets hazel. I feel somehow drawn to the sweet sky blue eyes that seem to pierce through me. I can tell that they are thinking the same thing as me; 'have we met somewhere before?'

I had a short flash of memory go through my mind, too fast for me to comprehend where I've seen those incredible hue of blue and green mixture; blue overpowering the green, though small rays of green could be seen.

Slowly the figure starts to make their way towards me, their movement rigid but apace. It was as if the person thought I would disappear if they didn't reach me fast enough however, in this state of mind I wouldn't get very far. It's not like I was planning on escaping the gaze either way.

As they moved into the clubs neon lights I could make out their features; bright and silky blond hair that made me want to run my fingernails through the strands. Light tan skin that shined with health and looked as if it was all natural; no tanning necessary. He had a muscular build, though I could tell I was a bit taller than him however, not by much.

The closer he got, the more nervous I became. I didn't understand why, it's not like I was ever nervous in front of anyone, o hint of fear has ever escaped through my armor,; I have a feeling however, that today my armor cracked enough to let a bit of fear escape.

I could've sworn I knew him from somewhere. Maybe not from here, but definitely from Minnesota, then again maybe I'm just imagining things. Seeing as how he had a similar look to mine though, I know he must've recognized me form somewhere other than BTR. I could tell because he didn't have a 'fan' vibe radiating off of him, more of an old friend one.

I can feel my hearts pace speed up the closer he gets, it's so fast I feel hammering inside my chest; who knew I could get so flustered so easily? I never knew this feeling was possible for me.

For others? Sure. I see this type of reaction every time I'm having a conversation with someone, but for me this is a first. Well, maybe not my first time, but that is for another time when I can actually manage to not break down while thinking about it…

Suddenly, I feel a tap on my shoulder and I come back to reality. The beautiful creature standing before me is nothing even close to what I thought I saw before. Perfect wasn't even a word that could be used to describe him because it wouldn't do him justice.

I then remember that he is right in front of me and I shake my head to focus my mind back on task; flirting the night off with what seems like this guy. I'm sure he wouldn't have come over here if he wasn't interested, right?

"Hey" The sound of his voice sounded familiar straight away. I cocked my eyebrow as I tried to remember where I could've have met him, though I doubt if I had I would ever forget a face like his.

"Have we met before?" I say in the most innocent way possible not wanting to sound like I'm hitting on him or that if we have met, I didn't seem like an ass for not remembering. However, the hurt look that flashed across his eyes made me regret my decision; I guess he'll remind me.

"You don't remember me?" He asked lowly. I could see the shine in his blue eyes disappear; this made me feel guiltier by the second.

"I'm sorry, maybe it's the many drinks I have had?" I say. I would've definitely remembered such a pair of entrancing eyes and flawless body. A pink hue begins to form on his face and I wonder why, but then it hits me.

"I said that last part aloud, didn't I?" I ask, trying to be as smooth as possible. He nods his head as a smile form upon his face, along with the radiance in his eyes burning with fire once again, the kind of fire I've ever noticed on someone else.

"Well, why don't you go ahead and tell me where you're from because my head is beginning to pound from the immense amount of thinking" I say.

"Aiden. Aiden Hayes" He says, almost as if he was afraid I still wouldn't remember, but boy was he wrong.

I can feel my mouth gape open as I remember exactly where I've known him from. Aiden was from my high school back in Minnesota. He was a junior when I was a senior and I remember him being the guy who had the biggest crush on me.

Looking at him now though, he's nowhere near as little and scrawny as he was before. He apparently wears contacts now seeing as he doesn't have his glasses. As well as, the fact that he was built up more then when I last saw him. He was filled out more and he definitely went through puberty because this is not the same Aiden from before.

"Wait, Aiden from Sherwood?" I ask, a slight smile dancing upon my lips.

"Yep. Same old me" He says, his voice cockier than before, something that surprisingly turned me on. I guess the shy guy from before was gone; not that I'm complaining.

"No way! How've you been man?" I ask as I extend my hand towards him; no hesitation from his person as he immediately shakes my hand. I can tell the difference from his grip now and from his grip before. I was firmer and rougher.

"Good, good. What about you, heard you got into a band" He says.

"Yeah, with my best buds actually. You remember Carlos, Logan and Kendall, right?" I could see his smile falter a bit at Kendall's name, and I questioned why right away. It's not like they rally ever interacted in school. Aiden was more towards hanging out with me rather than with the other guys.

"Yeah, I remember them. How are they doing?" He asked, even though I could tell he could care less. It irked me a bit, but I guess he never really enjoyed being with them so I couldn't expect him to change.

"They're fine. So tell me, what are you doing here in L.A" I ask, very interested to hear his response.

"Oh, actually I'm into modeling now and I have a few agencies here who called me up and I need to go to photo shoots with each one then decide which one I want the most." I could hear the arrogance in his voice, but it was also warm and I could see he wasn't trying to brag, just hoping to express his interests with me.

"That's awesome! Maybe I could show you around if you ever have time?" I asked cautiously; I didn't want it to seem like I was coming on too strong.

"Sure, that would be awesome. We could catch up" he says, and from this alone I can tell that I need to ask him the question. I may be self-centered, oblivious, flirty, and stupid, but I sure as hell know when someone is into me. Now I just have to hear him say it.

"Hey, can I ask you one quick question?" I ask.

"Sure."

"Do you still have a crush on me?"

The End~

So, what did you guys think of the chapter? What do you think of Aiden? Does he still have a crush on James? And who is this certain someone with the fire in their eyes other than Aiden?

Until Next Time! And if you can, leave a review telling me your thoughts and guesses on the few questions above. ;)

P.S I hope you all had and continue having a wonderful holiday break. And I hope you all got what you wanted for Christmas, I know I did. ;)
