Dive on in [Aiden]

[Aiden Calder]

Aiden saw her looking at her ankle and figured she was just being modest about the pain. "Let me see it," he said, kneeling in front of her and taking her calf and ankle in his hands. He heard her question and gently started to massage her ankle to make it feel better. "I feel trapped all of the time Miss," he said, looking up and giving her a half smile. "That's why I started traveling..."

He looked up at her and he understood the burning need, the desire to get away. But the things Aiden had seen... they had sent him crawling right back to Devil's Hollow, only to discover that- "But you can't always escape such feelings Miss... sometimes that feeling of being trapped may come back to haunt you." He looked back down at her ankle, continuing to massage it.

Liv watched him as he kneeled in front of her, and couldn't help but liking the feel of his hands on her leg and ankle. "Oh, I'm sure it will be fine. I've had my share of injuries before." She ended her sentence with a light laugh. As she listened to him speak about being trapped, she didn't realize they had more in common than she had originally thought. "My mother has returned to Devil's Hollow, I think to try to keep me in line. She decided to send me to St. Augustines..." Her voice trailed off as she thought about the awful school. "They are so bent into making us women into mindless bodies who just do their duties and do what they are told. I hate it."

Her ankle really was feeling better, but she did not say so, for she liked Aiden massaging it. It made her feel closer to him somehow. "You said you feel trapped, and your escape was traveling. But now that you are home, what is your escape? Or have you already been set free?" She looked at him once again, and a feeling came over her. She looked at Aiden now, as if he was her escape. She knew she liked him, but not that she needed him, to help fix her mind, body and soul. She has not been pursued by a man in a long time, and she feared she was a bit rusty on playing by the rules, or playing the game in general. How to keep a man interested? Or how to make them want you? She hadn't the fainest idea, she would have to wing it and hope for the best.
"Want to help me break free from my imprisonment?" She tossed him a sexy smile, and flicked her hair out of her face. Time to get serious.

Aiden thought about this. "I've come to learn that there really is no escape," he said, brows knitting together as he continued to massage her ankle. "Though I don't mind helping a nice lady such as your self break away from your confinement and your evil mother." He gave her a small smile and gently set her foot back down.

Standing back up, he sat down beside her, facing her and draping an arm over the back of the bench. "Better?" he asked her, looking from her ankle to her. He thought about what she said about the school then and smiled. "My sister goes to St. Augustine's. In her case, I wouldn't mind if they turned her into a proper young woman who did everything she was told. Then I wouldn't have to keep such a close eye on her... but knowing how she is, it'll never happen." He chuckled and shook his head.

((A little short. lol! My muse is a little low))

Liv nodded her head when he asked her if she felt better and turned to look at him when he sat down beside her. She smoothed out a few wrinkles on her dress and looked out over the park. She smiled as she looked at a couple walking down the path, hand in hand and deep in conversation. "You'd help me break free? How?" She asked Aiden, looking over at him, brushing some of her hair out of her face and tucking it behind her ear. She raised her eyebrows when he said his sister went to the same school.

"I didn't know she went there. I didn't know you had siblings actually. Ill have to keep an eye out with her, as it is Im not quite sure if I have met her before." She looked out over the park again, and looked at the sun as it began to set lower in the sky. She ten realized what that ment, it was getting late and her mother would be expecting her. She may already be late.
"What hour is it? Oh no....I must get going. My mother will be furious if I'm late...again. It was so nice to meet you Mr. Calder. I hope to see you again soon." She stood, planted a soft kiss on his cheek and turned to leave. Smiling to herself and already waiting for the day she could see him again.
