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'

"Oooh, you look so pretty this morning Ava!" I turned to see Layla's gorgeous self, dressed in what looked like white cashmere with a pretty blue jean. She looked casual but chick, unlike her work clothes which were usually pant suits and dress shirts.I grinned. "Thank you Layla. You look great too. No work today?"Her smile mirrored mine. "Thanks love. I have my day off today!" Two of us began making our way downstairs. "So," Layla began. Eyes glinting curiously. "Today a special day or what? You look too good to just be heading downstairs for breakfast Ava."I felt my cheeks heat up at her words. "Not really. I just felt like dressing up a little."Layla nodded as we began descending down the spiralling stairway. "Hmmn. You don't have any plans for today asides lectures and Soul kitchen?""Yeah." I replied. Layla's grin was wide as she clapped her hands together with glee. "Great! Since we both got time, why don't we make today girl's day out," she suggested and that had me per

My morning lectures and reading session went faster than usual much to my disbelief and before I knew it, I was done for the day with nothing left to do.And since sweet old Freya had asked me to not clock in before my shift, I was so bored that it was bordering on frustration.I tried to sleep away the idleness and boredom. But you know, what we wish for isn't always what we get.Then there was Aiden. The mere thought of the breakfast he had made this morning had me smiling like a fool. I could still envision how he looked in that black apron, lean muscles showing deliciously, while they contrasted at his every movement. I knew he was at home and it wouldn't take me a minute to find his handsome ass in his home office.But I couldn't just risk disturbing him since I saw Asher and the rest of the guards, Gus included, heading for his office. They must have tons to discuss.Letting out a frustrated sigh, I sat up, peeking a glance at the wall clock that was just beside my floor length

And still, it hasn't faded.A week later, I was still as drawn to Aiden physically as I was drawn to his emotional side.I watched Aiden's handsome face while he worked with intent and concentration as he pulled out packaged containers which I knew were undeniably, edibles, on the space before us. And immediately, the stomach teasing aroma of spices, herbs and food filled my nostrils, making me to involuntarily salivate."Hmmn," I let out an encouraging moan. "Smells delicious."Aiden flashed me a heart swelling smile as he nodded. "It should."I sat, with anticipation etched on my skin and my face as he unwrapped all the plates.Aiden after spreading out every single food he prepared on the blanket, helped me with a good serving of a bit of everything."Thank you!" I grinned cheekily as I took the plate from him.He returned my smile. "Enjoy."Nodding, I stared dreamily at my stacked plate. "Oh yes, I will."
