I was meant to come work at Soul Kitchen in the evening.
The way I did my part-time job at Alfredo's and because Freya and I had discussed it.
She had asked me how I worked at other places, and since I had important matters like lectures to attend to, she concluded evening shifts were perfect.
However, I found myself kneading dough in the spacious but hot kitchen of Soul Kitchen after much persuasion from Freya to wait for my shift.
I just wanted to let my mind be as I baked. That always helped me get my mind out of my head several times and hopefully it would work this time too.
"Dear, are you done?" Freya's voice was a little loud as she stood before me, a green apron around her waist.
"What?" I asked, like I just snapped back into reality.
She smiled. "I asked if you were done Ava." I heard that before

"What the hell!" A scream tore through my lips as I entered my room.Behold, Aiden was sitting on my bed, unmoving at my outburst. He had swapped his usual sweatpants and yoga pants for a tailored dark grey suit and I have to agree that he looked so freaking hot and drool worthy in them.His dark eyes settled on mine for a second before going down, leaving my body hot and very bothered. I cleared my throat at his sudden silence while eyes came back to my face."Hi." I said awkwardly as he continued to stare at me."Um," he cleared his throat. "Your clothes are soiled. What happened to them?"I looked down at my jean short and black shirt and indeed they were soiled with flour since I and Freya had settled on a baking spree. The donuts had been a success, then add the endless order of angel wings bread, it w

The next day was almost same.In the sense that Aiden wasn't present during breakfast and the first half of the morning. But I had seen him around the house and had heard him speaking to Asher severally from my room.It was afternoon and I was already done with my lectures for the day. So as usual, I had nothing to do but idle around. I could not go to Soul Kitchen either, since Freya had been clear on me coming to work only on my designated shift.I was coming down the spiralling stairway when the front door burst open and in came Gus with his wide smile and boyish playfulness.Immediately he saw me, his smile widened in pure joy."Hello! My new favorite person!!" He hollered loudly, walking further into the room."Hi Gus," I grinned cheekily. I have never been so happy to see anyone walk through a door before.H

I looked up and found the teenager who just made her order seconds ago, staring at me with a confused expression gracing her young face.I offered her a smile. "Yes I am. I'm sorry we are taking time but I promise, your order will be here in due time." I rambled out.She smiled cheekily, the act lighting up her face in seconds. "That's not a problem. I don't mind standing here."I nodded. "Oh. Okay."We stayed there in silence, albeit an awkward one."How's my hair?" She blurted out of the blues."Excuse me?"Her smile widened a tad bit. "How is my hair? What do you think about my new hair color?"I raised a brow before taking in her hair which was surprisingly red, a shade brighter than my natural red one."Uh... It's nice?"Her face fell at my answer. I guess she was expecting a different answer."No no, I'm not saying it in a dismissive way." I further rushed. "Your hair is really nic

I was a nervous wreck as I stood before Aiden at the back of Soul Kitchen, that Freya had let us use.I didn't know what Aiden wanted to do or say, but everything looked like deja vu. Was he about to send me away or outrightly tell me that I wasn't all that special.That, I could deal with since it wasn't the first time someone would be saying such words to me. But just the idea of having Aiden say the same things Scott had said to me had my heart breaking into tiny bits.For some reason, I knew the same words coming from Aiden would do a greater damage than what Scott's words had done.Pull yourself together Ava!I let out a breath as I stared at Aiden who was taking me in with utter coolness."Are you cold?" Were his exact words as he continued to stare at me.I shook my head negatively, all the while, feeling exposed before his stripping gaze. "No, I'm not."I flashed him a smile as I hugged myself with my arms. I wasn't cold, but I guess I was cold emotionally.The distance betwee

I let out a shaky chuckle at the eagerness in his face and desperation in his voice.Like I said, I highly doubted that Aiden and I would be friends.But oh well, it was better than being nothing at all. When it came to Aiden Beaumont, I took anything I could get.So I smiled at his handsome face. "Of course, I will Aiden."°°°I made my way to Aiden's room that evening after showering.Aiden had led me back to his home after our little moment at the back of Soul kitchen after Freya had given me the go ahead order which was accompanied by a conspiratory wink that had me laughing.Getting home was unlike the last time Aiden and I had come back from Soul kitchen together. Yes the sparks were still present but we'd tried to master the ar

It was nights like this that Mom and Dad would set up camp on the rooftop and Dad would entertain us with moonlight tales while I sipped hot chocolate with them."I was about to step out." Was his response."Did I stop you?"He shook his head. "Not really." Came his vague answer as he offered me a smile. "I have to shif- do something before heading out."I didn't miss the words he tried not to say."You were about to shift?" I boldly asked and his eyes widened in what seemed like a second at my words."You know about us shifting?"I almost rolled my eyes. "Of course Aiden. There are over thousands of books and movies about werewolves in the world, everyone knows that werewolves shift, although I don't know if everything in those fictional works are real."He nodded, before snorting. "Most of t

When I was a child, I always wondered what it would feel like to experience magic. I also wondered severally, if magic or anything akin to it, really does exist.As a Potter head also, I had my own share of supernatural fantasies. So bad that during Halloween, my parents would indulge me with Harry Potter costumes, the full package.Growing up, I let go of such fantasies and dreams to face reality. I had told myself that there was really nothing to this world other than factual science theories and the reality I was seeing.However, watching Aiden in Wolf form before me, his dark fur glowing softly under the spray of the Moon's light, I knew my long forgotten dream had been found.I could feel bubbling excitement course through my veins, I felt giddy and baffled, but in a good way."What now?" I asked excitedly as I looked at Aiden's huge and imposing Wolf f

We got to a clearing that made way to a big tree that looked like it was on top of a hill.Its large and wide branches covered the whole hill and the full Moon looked like it was directly above the tree, sending down its rays. I was awestruck at the sight before me."Wow!" I let out. Lost and trying to find the right words to describe the sight before me. "It's beautiful!" I let out again.Aiden stopped, then turned to face me as if he was concurring with what I just said. He continued walking the short distance from where we stood to the top of the hill.Once atop, there was a small clearing of carpet grass that gathered like a small blanket under the large tree.I watched Aiden make himself comfortable on the clearing as he laid down like he has been doing it all his life. Even as he was not standing, he still was large and commanding authority. However, that wasn'
