I'm sorry I haven't updated in like, a week. Short chapter, but there's more to follow!
Sophie felt Aiden's body go rigid with the shock of such a risky move, but he quickly accepted the gesture and relaxed. He responded, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer to him. His tongue pressed gently on her lips, so she parted them slightly to let him in. She explored his mouth with her tongue, discovering that it was as sweet as his voice. Aiden's hands slid along her body, resting on her hips. Sophie moaned slightly, deepening the kiss and moving her hands up to cup Aiden's face.
Sophie forgot her anger, her jealousy, her sense of betrayal as passion surged in her chest. There was nothing that mattered in the world except Aiden. She was so overwhelmed at such strong fervor that her mind almost shut itself off in shock of such unchaste actions.
When Sophie heard Katie's shriek of all the emotions she had just forgotten, and she was sent back to reality, she somehow found herself underneath Aiden. She couldn't quite tell what was her and what was him; they were so tangled in each other. When Aiden heard the shriek, he stopped and looked up at Katie. Then he looked back down at Sophie.
Quickly, he scrambled off Sophie and stood up. Like a flash, he was up the oak tree, to a branch inaccessible by the girls.
A soft wail pierced the darkening sky. Sophie staggered as she got up, fixing her shirt, which had inexplicably been pulled up just beneath her chin. Adjusting her bra, she looked up towards where Aiden was sitting in the tree. She couldn't see him, but she knew he was the one moaning.
Glancing at the shocked look on Katie's face, Sophie felt a glow of triumph swell in her heart, because she knew why Aiden was moaning. He had suddenly changed back to being autistic. It wasn't uncommon for autistic children to do outrageous things when overwhelmed.
Still feeling a bit daring from the last stunt she pulled, Sophie took another chance. Wanting to preserve her friendship with Katie, Sophie became the actress. She fell on her knees and began 'crying'.
"Did you see that?" she cried to Katie. "Did you see what he was doing to me? Oh, Katie, I'm so scared! I tried to yell for help, but I was afraid he'd hurt me if I made a sound!" Sophie collapsed into tears, sobbing as Katie rushed over.
"There, there, you're okay now," Katie crooned. "He won't do that ever again to you."
Sophie sniffed, "Are you sure? Will you protect me?"
Katie nodded, "That's what friends do!"
Sophie stood and hugged Katie, controlling her rage at that last comment. "Thanks, Katie. I feel so much better now!" Sophie paused, listening. "Why is he moaning?" she asked innocently.
Katie replied in a harsh tone, "That- That imbecile! I don't know what he's playing at. Aiden!" She yelled, turning to look up at where she approximated he was in the tree. "Aiden come down here right now! We need to talk, and you can't get out of it this time."
Sophie shivered. He'll tell the truth if she asks him, and my cover will be blown. I don't want to lose Katie as my friend, she thought. Please, Aiden. She prayed, be normal again!
