A Sign For Aiden Daylight
CHAPTER 18DAYLIGHTAIDENI write and sometimes I paint. At first I started with writing stories, stories of strong heroes who went off to distant lands to vanquish powerful foes and bring honor to their kingdoms. I wrote of princesses trapped in magical towers, fated to live a life dictated by their horrible conniving mother but through the power of true love and determination manage to free themselves from such a fate. One time I wrote of a ghost that haunted a village for a hundred years but that ghost was actually a misunderstood little boy longing for a friend.And then one day I got bored, behind my parent’s back I purchased an easel with a set of paint brushes and some water colors. I was terrible at first. I couldn't even draw a butterfly, but after eight years of constant practice I’m slightly less terrible. My first painting was of a butterfly with hideous wings but that was my intention, I believed that not all butterflies had to be pretty there was an ugly one somewhere ju
A Sign For Aiden Not Straight
CHAPTER 19NOT STRAIGHT ELIAN“Flour, butter, cheese, sugar and extra virgin olive oil.” I recite the list Maria wrote for me back to her, “is that all?”“Yes that is all for now,” she replies with a warm smile, “follow Mario he’ll take you to the store I usually get this.” My eyes widen at her words, Mario? My Mario? My best friend Mario? Ohhhhh today just got very interesting.I give her a bright smile, a little too bright actually. “alright I’ll be very, very happy to follow Mario.” Hopefully he can teach me a thing or two about the ways of the human breast.“Thank you so, so much Evan, you're too kind.” she says ruffling my hair.“There’s no problem at all Maria, if you can save me just one slice of the cheesecake you can consider that my payment.” She laughs the wrinkles around her almond eyes deepening, “Alright, consider it done.”Janet is the cook of the house but Maria is the baker(who needs a cook and a baker? Can’t Janet just bake? Or Maria cook? Isn’t this a bit overkill
A Sign For Aiden Today Is a Good Day
CHAPTER 1TODAY IS A GOOD DAY.ELIANContrary to popular belief night time is the worst time to steal. The dumbass who came up with the idea was definitely a burglar. In my line of work that advice means jack shit. The advice I like to go for is; the early worm gets the fattest apple or something like that.When the sun's up people have the illusion that they are safe that the light brings some sort of security. They're wrong. Personally, I like crowded bustling areas where everyone is on their phones; angry about their boss, about their wives, about their messy kids. All of this brings distraction and a single second is all I need for what was theirs to become mine.I lean back against a traffic light patiently waiting for my next victim. a lady in ridiculously high heels limps across the sidewalk. With a single glance I can tell she's using every ounce of willpower she has to not trip and fall. I smile as my eyes narrow in on her dainty gold bracelet or rather my dainty gold bracele
A Sign For Aiden Just A Hello Would Do
CHAPTER 2JUST A HELLO WOULD DOAIDENThere must be a school that teaches fake crying that I am not aware of. I do not recognize half of these people but yet they seem more heart broken than me and it's my father who died. I don't feel like crying though I don't see the point and it's not like father died a tragic death. He was eighty five years old for God's sake. The lord was right to take him away.I watch the debacle from a good distance away so none of the 'mourners' find me and offer empty condolences which unfortunately won't bring back my dead father."There you are!" A familiar voice sounds behind me. I turn to find my aunt dressed like she's about to grace a Paris fashion house, "I've been looking all over for you! Come, Richard called. it's time to read your father's will."I cock an eyebrow, so soon? The man's body is still warm for God's sake and it's already time to read the will? The audacity of these people. "Alright." I respond.She smiles warmly, "Go wait in the car,
A Sign For Aiden Aquarium
CHAPTER 3AQUARIUMElian"Ok Mara take good care of Martin Alright?" I say, pinching her chubby cheeks. "I'll come visit you guys every weekend with lots of treats."She scrunches up her face, blue eyes regarding me with displeasure, "of course I will, I'm the eldest!" She puffs up her chest a little.Martin rolls his eyes making a face in response. I glance at him with a smile he was getting better at reading lips. It helps of course that Mara talks slower. "Why?" Martin wasn't quick enough though Mara saw him, "you don't think it's true? ask Eli! I'm fifty days older than you.""more like five minutes." I mutter under my breath.Mara glares at me. "What did you say!?" "Nothing lady Mara now can we leave please? Jess and Chris are waiting."Jess and Chris are our neighbours and their kid Josh really took a liking to Martin. Though he's not deaf, he's a very shy and quiet kid. Mara has been teaching him sign language to better communicate with Martin. I think they are all very cute.
A Sign For Aiden To Breathe
CHAPTER 4TO BREATHEAIDENI always thought this house was big enough to hide all of my insecurities but lately I’ve realized how stupid I was. Unless I remodel it into the statue of liberty I’ll have no such luck. I drop my book back on the library shelf, immediately commencing my panic push ups; movement always helps my thoughts flow well.When Aunt Clara first mentioned the idea of organizing a ball I just thought she was just spitting bollocks. Who organizes a ball these days? What is this 1805? How would a ball even help me if she plans on inviting 500 people? Is it possible to create friends in such a rowdy situation? Instead of this charade we should be trying to find some loophole in father’s will and not giving in to his absurd conditions. I wish she would just admit this ‘ball’ is more for her sake than mine.Although the event is four months away, just the thought of it is enough to make my insides twist into knots. After 100 pushups and 50 squats I stand to stretch out my
A Sign For Aiden Show Me Tomorrow
Chapter 5Show Me TomorrowElianI don’t know but I feel like I’m taking things too far. I should have just walked away after giving my unsolicited advice. He didn't ask for my help, he probably doesn't even need it. I have no reason to be here. He may be deaf but for fuck sake he isn't Martin! I don’t have to do this. I don’t have to be here.Repeating this over and over in my mind hasn't worked so far. I mean, I just ran a million miles in the middle of the night just so a random guy can breathe? What the fuck does that even mean??? Why can't I just fucking go back? All it would take is a simple apology and I can go back to my heist or the planning of said heist at least.I drag my attention away from my troubled thoughts back to the person causing my troubled thoughts. 'There is nothing here,' Aiden signs looking around in confusion.'There is,' I respond gesturing to the playground.He frowns, cocking his head to the side, 'A playground? I don't understand.''Sometimes when my br
A Sign For Aiden If Only It Was That Easy
CHAPTER 6IF ONLY IIT WAS THAT EASYAIDEN.TWO WEEKS LATER...Brrrrrrr!!!The cursed alarm chimes for the umpteenth time. I groan, reaching over to shut it off. I honestly cannot think of a time when I despised my alarm clock so deeply. I also cannot think of a time when I needed an alarm clock in the first place. For the last five years I have always gone to bed at exactly 11pm and promptly woken up at 7am. My alarm clock and I were always in sync with me waking just as it went off but today we are sworn enemies.To be fair I have never spent nights out playing with a boy before. I have never spent the night out before period. because until recently I have never had a reason to. I hop out of bed and stretch out my sore limbs. Jumping fences is not a skill I'm particularly good at but after repeated usage I have gotten better at it. After my muscles have loosened up, I feel less like a walking corpse. It's unnerving to feel so tired on the outside yet so alive on the inside, consequen

A Sign For Aiden Reptile
CHAPTER 17REPTILEELIANJanet is in a particularly bad mood today, which just means she’s extra bossy and irritable. I sigh as I wipe down the piano. Today she instructed me to clean the music room and gave me a special cleaning solution for the different instruments, a bit overkill in my opinion. However my mind isn’t on the task I’m performing but with my encounter with Clara yesterday.I climbed the stairs to the third floor with my mind racing with various possibilities, despite the fact that I haven’t done anything to get me in trouble wasn’t enough to dispel the worry that maybe just maybe she found out about my plan and the moment I step through the door I would be greeted by a barrage of policemen with angry faces.But instead I met Clara in a long silky gown and a high slit that showed off a glimpse of her long legs. She is the exact opposite of Elena. While Elena is short with a full figure, Clara is taller with smaller proportions. Not to mention one is a brown skinned teen
A Sign For Aiden Bed Hopper
CHAPTER 16BED HOPPERAIDENI haven’t done anything today. I haven’t felt like it at all. Aunt Clara and I used to live in complete harmony but now I feel like we fight every five seconds. I sigh as I climb out of bed, walking to the kitchen to find something to eat. But I know food won’t heal me. I feel so tired on the inside…I just want to die.I hear footsteps just as I enter. I suppose aunt Clara has returned from golfing. I hide beside the refrigerator, as a certified coward I’m obviously not going to speak to her not yet at least. She and Elian are the only people in the world that I speak to. If I don’t talk to her then I will truly die alone.“Hello Evan, you look quite dashing, follow me this way please.” I hear her say.Evan? Who is E- “thank you so much for having me here Miss Clara.”The moment the voice sounds my heart goes into frenzy, Evan is Elian? Yes, Evan is Elian he mentioned it the day we met but why is he here?“There is no problem at all.” I hear their footsteps
A Sign For Aiden Date
CHAPTER 15DATEELIAN“Do you really have to go?” Mara asks, staring at me with huge watery eyes.“Yes my sweet princess,” I reply with a sad smile, “I have to work so I can take care of you. You guys can’t stay with josh forever you know? We will need to move to our own place eventually.” “I know but still…” she whispers more tears gathering in her eyes, “I miss you.”I sigh deeply as I pull her small frame towards me. She melts into my arms burying her face in my neck. Mart stays by the side watching us with an awkward smile; he's not a fan of physical affection. I pull him towards me anyway, holding them both in each arm. This is it… this is living, Mara and Martin my home and my life. I separate from them and reluctantly place a kiss on their foreheads as I rise. “Alright be good ok?” if I don’t leave now I feel like I never will, “If you need anything just call I’ll come as soon as I can.” Mara nods. ‘Did you get that buddy?’ I ask mart. He nods with a smile. I ruffle his hair,
A Sign For Aiden Broken
CHAPTER 14BROKENAIDENI sit alone in the west garden playing with my favorite spider man toy. It's late afternoon, father is at work and mother is passed out drunk as always. These few hours are the only time I can enjoy some semblance of peace. I imagine that one day I would wake up with extraordinary powers, powers strong enough to heal my mother and make my father young forever so that we can become a happy family.The steady sound of footsteps echo loudly around me resounding inside my brain, making my heart tremble with fear; mother is awake! I quickly throw spider man behind a bush, “sorry spider man.” I whisper as I hurriedly stand to my feet.“Aiden? Aiden!? Aiden?” mother calls loudly her voice sounds hoarse as her footsteps draw closer.“Yes mother?” I reply putting on a fake smile just for her.She appears before me with long black hair in a tattered mess, her brown eyes filled with endless hatred and her small lips in a scowl. I am an exact carbon copy of her but she hate
A Sign For Aiden Confused
CHAPTER 13CONFUSEDELIAN‘Alright…’ I say, thinking of an interesting non-mother related question, ‘never have I ever…had a threesome.’‘Elian!’ Aiden stares at me with wide eyes, his cheeks turning a bright red.I chuckle. I'm beginning to form a nasty habit of making Aiden blush but I can’t help it. He's just that cute.‘I haven’t even gotten a hand job. What makes you think I’ve had a threesome?’‘I don’t know?’ I reply with a shrug, ‘It’s not impossible.’He rolls his eyes, ‘No Elian I haven’t, have you?’I chuckle as I sip on my beer, ‘what do you think?’‘You’re nasty Elian.’ He signs with a wince.‘Ah but nasty is fun isn’t it? We can’t both be saints Aiden, that would be so boring.’He rolls his eyes ignoring me as he takes a sip of his beer.I chuckle awkwardly as I sit upright looking him straight in the eyes, ‘can I ask you something personal?’‘Oh? Asking if I’ve had a threesome isn’t personal enough for you?'For real though Aiden.’He sighs, ‘I have a feeling I’ll regret
A Sign For Aiden never Have I Ever
CHAPTER 12Never Have I EverAiden“Moisturizer, serum, cleanser, sunscreen, facemask, exfoliating scrub…” all of this on just one person’s face? I stare in shock at the products listed in the article. On my outing with Elian tonight I decided to put in some effort into how I looked. The first thing that came to mind was skincare but…goddamn it's a lot. Especially since my outing is only two hours away. I decide to leave the skin care stuff for now. I don’t necessarily have bad skin but it could certainly be better.I sigh as I ransack my wardrobe for something to wear. I settle for dark cotton pants, a white t shirt and a flannel. It’s simple yes but I don’t look like an orphaned adult anymore so I think it does the trick. I study my reflection in the mirror to find any imperfections or rather any way too obvious imperfections. “My damn hair,” Flat and completely lifeless. I have no idea how I've been walking around looking like a highschool teacher. I return to my computer. Only my b
A Sign For Aiden Madame
CHAPTER 11MADAMEELIANDespite my throbbing headache I still managed to set a goal for myself this morning; find out what is in the last room and try to act normal when I see Janet but my intuition tells me the former will definitely be harder.“Okay Eli lets go.” I whisper to myself as I open the kitchen door. To my immense joy Janet is not here but there are five notes on the table titled with the names of different workers with my name on the third. The note reads;“Scrub the entire balcony, TWICE, the chairs tables and water the flowers there as well. I will be back before lunch.”I roll my eyes as I rip the note to shreds. Scrub the balcony twice? twice!? why!? Did someone die there?! I honestly don’t know if Janet hates me particularly or she’s just an annoyingly meticulous person. A quick glance at the other notes and I’m still not certain. I suppress a groan as I take my cleaning supplies and walk to the balcony. In my next life I won’t ever get caught stealing, never, ever, e
