Allison’s POV

“So what did you get Tasha?” I asked Leo as he revved the car's engine. “I'm curious.”

Today was Tasha's surprise baby shower, and we were currently on our way to the venue, which happened to be Tasha and David's house.

David was also in on the plan and had been quite elated when I told him about it. He had offered to divert Tasha's mind from the whole thing by taking her out on a date that day, so we could put things in place before their arrival.

Although, I had initially wanted to do in a bigger way, I knew how much of an introverted agoraphobe my best friend was, so I settled on doing something more intimate.

“It's a secret, baby,” He smirked, steering the car out of the driveway. “And you know the old saying ”curiosity kills the cat”, don't you?”

Rolling my eyes, I huffed. “Well, I'm not exactly a cat now, am I? Come on, babe, I already told you what I was giving her. Why can't you just tell me?”

To my utter expectations, Aiden won yet again and this time, he jumped around the whole house like an excited kangaroo, his eyes scrunched up in a wide grin, and I couldn't help but feel relieved. Ever since Allison left the country three days ago, Aiden had been extremely morose and sullen. I had done everything, from video calling Allison and painstakingly making chicken lasagna, his favorite food to ordering the various junk foods that I knew he liked yet nothing had worked. Beyond exhausted, I had given up and had started playing the new video game that I bought online some days when Aiden suddenly came up to me, grabbed the s

    Allison’s POV “You look ravishing, baby,” Leo complimented as he walked into the room, a smirk plastered to his lips as he regarded my body. “Thanks, babe.” I darted him a quick smile before returning my attention to my reflection in the mirror and putting finishing touches to my makeup. I was clad in a figure-hugging lilac dress that stopped past my knees while my feet were slid in a pair of violet heels and my purse was silver. “What do you say we cancel the date and just stay home?” He suggested coming behind me to lock his arm around my waist. “We can always N*****x and chill, my love.” “I'm sorry, horndog but that isn't happening,” I said, then pressed a kiss to the corner of his lips and eased myself out of his hold to grab my purse from the dresser. “By the way, I thought we were meeting at the restaurant. What changed?” “Nothing, I just decided to come pick you and Aiden up.” He shrugged. “And I don't regret changing my mind because I've got a lovely view of your ethereal
