"I'm glad," Jayden replied. He was too, despite the fact that he still thought that Celeste sounded suspicious. At least, based on what he had heard - he never had met her. But someone who was always soft spoken and kind? That wasn't normal. All Jayden wanted, though, was for Aaron to be happy.
Instead of answering Aaron's question directly, Jayden decided to give him only the first piece of the story. "You know...I slept with someone a few days before I received my pairing notice." He wondered what Aaron would think of that - he knew Jayden better than anyone did, and he knew that sleeping around wasn't something that Jayden normally did.
Had he been talking to anyone else, Jayden most likely would have followed up that statement with a self-centered comment about women being unable to resist him, or something to that effect. Since he was with Aaron, though, he could easily be serious when he felt the need to be. Of course, he enjoyed joking with Aaron, but sometimes, he just needed to relax his normally excited mind.
