Aaron's Fall Read Online Free Page A

that feminine allure about her. Aaron silently moved behind her.
    Exhaling a breath, Aaron glanced at Tia had Martin as they moved leisurely through the store. He moved to join Asia.
    “You like that?” Aaron asked coming to stand beside her.
    Asia glanced shyly over at him. “Yes, very much, but it’s too much money for me.”
    “What would you put with this sofa?” Aaron asked.
    “It doesn’t matter, I can’t afford it,” she replied softly.
    “So humor me,” Aaron said smiling charmingly.
    Asia shrugged, “I don’t know, I think these two chairs, and that coffee table, and those lamps,” she replied quickly, then moved away going to the bedroom furniture.
    Aaron called the salesperson over.
    “Yes sir,” the salesperson said eagerly recognizing Aaron and Martin, the moment they step into the store.
    “I want these pieces,” Aaron said pointing to the furniture and accessories Asia had picked, and handed him his credit card. Martin and Tia watched Aaron, and then glanced at each other, astonishment on their faces.
    “Are you getting furniture Aaron?” Tia asked suspiciously joining him.
    “Yep, for Asia.”
    “She doesn’t like handouts Aaron,” Tia warned him.
    “Its not, it’s a housewarming gift,” he said seriously, walking away. He didn’t want to explain to them why he was buying the furniture for Asia, because he didn’t know why he was doing it himself.
    Tia and Martin looked at each other and smiled.
    “He’s been very quiet since last night.” Martin told Tia. “I think Asia has affected him more then he cares to admit.” Have you noticed how his eyes stays trained on Asia?
    “I had noticed that also,” Tia replied. Regardless, Martin I don’t want Aaron to pursue her. Aaron is too frivolous with woman’s hearts. He needs to stick with the gold-digger he is accustomed to, Asia is not his type of woman, I’m afraid he will hurt her.”
    Martin shrugged, “Aaron is not a bad person, he just loves woman, but I agree with you, Aaron needs to let this one go.” Martin stated, watching Aaron as his eyes followed Asia strolling around the store.
    “All I know Martin, he better not try and her to get in his bed because he’s buying her furniture,” Tia stated firmly.
    Martin knew Aaron, as well as he knew himself. Aaron didn’t have to buy women; women were drawn to Aaron. Even growing up together through high school and college, the girls melted whenever he was around.
    Asia was looking at a four-poster queen-sized bed, with the matching armoire and bedside tables.
    “How much?” Asia asked the sales representative, a grinning man who looked as if he would sell his Mama for a commission.
    “Forty-five hundred, for the whole set,” the sales representative answered.
    Asia sighed. “Thanks anyway.”
    Asia stood for a moment gazing at the furniture. Lightly her fingers moved across the cherry wood dresser.
    Asia turned suddenly bumping into Aaron. He grabbed her arms steadying her. Instantly she pulled away, stepping backed up.
    “I’m sorry, I didn’t see you,” she said apologizing.
    “You like that bedroom set?” he asked her.
    Asia frowned briefly, taking another step away from him. Why did he want to know it she like anything? She wondered. It didn’t matter whether she liked it or not, she couldn’t afford to buy a knob from the dresser. She shrugged before moving away from him.
    Aaron purchased the bedroom set too.
    Still roaming leisurely around the store, Asia glanced out the storefront window. It was starting to get dark. And with the dark came the fear.
    “We better go,” she said looking out the window, trying not to sound panicked as she felt.
    Tia and Martin turned to see what she was looking at. It was starting to get dark out.
    “Okay Asia,” Tia said smiling, “did you see anything you like?”
    She nodded. “I saw a lot of stuff I liked, but there’s this nice secondhand place downtown, I’ll find something there.”
    Aaron soon joined
