Chapter 10 "Who is She?"

                         Amara's pov

We all have that type of aunts who would squeeze our cheeks till they turn red. They get so much excited when they see us as if they saw a stuffed animal. Right now Aiden's cheeks were in the deathly grip of his aunt. His mother's kitty party friend. That's what he told me.

She's squeeshing his cheeks and talking about how he looked when he was a child. I laughed hard when she said once Aiden came out of his bathroom with a towel and it just dropped off his body as he flinched watching his mom and her friends in the house. He was 5 at that time. Damnn I wish I was there to witness him being puppy shame.

She finally left him after making his neatly dressed hairstyle a mess by giving a good ruffle to it. He looked like he came from a jungle book except that he's dressed neatly.

"I heard from your mother that you're living apart from your parents! You're a big man now-wait who is she?" wow I thought I'm invisible to her till now. Good that she asked but what do I have to say to her? Hi I'm Aiden's girlfriend glad to meet you? What would Aiden think if I introduce myself as his girlfriend. He wouldn't want me to say that I guess.

"She's my girlfriend. Actually she's a little sick we need to go bye." Aiden said and literally pushed me in the car trying to escape from his aunt and he succeeded.

He got in the diver's seat and in a few seconds the restaurant disappeared from our sight. He looks like he's scared of her. True she's scary, I admit that too.

"Wait, can you drop me off at Ashton's?" Aiden nodded without taking his eyes off the road. I called Ashton but he didn't pick up his phone. Maybe he's busy.

While driving he kept taking a few glances at me now and then. What does he want now?

"What?! I know you want to ask me something. What is it! Stop you look like a thief looking around to escape, it's annoying me." I said irritatingly not turning to face him.

"Why do you dislike your sister that much?" his question made me frown as I looked at him. What?! What the hell did he just say?

"When did I say that I hate her? She's my sister, of course I would love her. Why would I hate her? And can I ask you what made you think that way?" now my voice is laced with anger. What do you expect.

"You told me you're jealous of her when you're drunk, she's a very sweet person-"

"Wow, tell me how many days you have dated my sis. A week am I right? I'm watching her grow up from a girl to woman till now. And I really don't think you are in a position to say how good my sister is! I really don't want to explain it to you but still listen. I'm not jealous of my sister. I'm just insecure about myself. Jealousy and insecurity are a lot different from each other. I admire my sis, I wanted to be as good as her which I couldn't be. I just hate when someone compares me with other's, while pointing out my defects. That's it. I love my sister more than anything. I would appreciate it if you don't bring this topic anymore." I spat at him with a little bit of anger evident in my voice.

"Why do you care about what people say to you? What if they ignore you? Just leave them. I can't unders-"

"Can you please stop this topic now! I'm tired and I don't want to argue with you ." I leaned on my back sinking into the seat further if possible.

I literally get angry when someone tries to advice me like "why are you taking it to heart. Just ignore them, you shouldn't be bothered by that" may be because that hurts my ego. And now I don't want to consider anyone's comments now. I just want to live my life peacefully. Even if I don't get a boyfriend or husband I will just raise a cat and we both will grow old together in a big house. Me, my cat, my house That's it! That's all I need.

"Here! Pull over!" I instructed Aiden while removing my seat belt. Aiden stepped on the break so suddenly for the car to jerk farword and as a result my fake boyfriend gifted me a red mark on my forehead. I told you I was removing my seat belt and this Evil bunny did it intentionally. What does he get by annoying me? Fun? My foot. 

I huffed in anger while getting out of the car and closed the door harshly making it shut with a huge sound and car did shake a little too. I figured it out that he takes care of his car a little too much as it is a rare model. I don't know much about cars and all, but it did look like an expensive one. Serves you right for gifting me a wound. Jerk.

I flipped my hair feeling proud of managing to annoy him. He loves his car too much I guess as he immediately got out of it and checked the door I shut. I heard him calling me and shouting my name but I didn't care much.

I reached Ashton's flat and was about to open the door Aiden came running to me. This idiot! "What?" I asked tiredly not wanting to annoy him or to get annoyed by him. Can't he just leave.

"Your bag! you left it in my car." he said with same annoyance as I'm feeling right now. I grabbed my bag from his hands and forrowed my brows hearing the noises from the other side of the door.

"Why can't she share the house? The other bedroom is empty right, Mrs. Matthew. " a voice exclaimed loudly which I instantly recognized it as Ashton's.

"I told you that I've already gave my words and took advance from him too. How can I say him to leave?" I heard an elderly female voice which I recognized as Mrs. Matthew 's the landlady of Ashton's flat. Wait............ Is this the important thing that he wanted deal with? This guy!

"She has no where to go, and how she search for a home this fast like right now. You should have told me earlier." Ashton whinned.

"Ashton I like Amara too she's a very sweet person. Do you think I would agree to rent the other room if I knew that Amara's sharing this flat with you? Of course no!" Mrs. Matthew tried to talk to him with a calm and sweet tone. But my friend is throwing a fit.

I sighed and opened the door and instantly I got attention of the two persons. Ash looked like he was shocked with his mouth wide open and I need to tell him to close that before any insect tries to get into his mouth. On the other side Mrs. Matthew looked like she felt a bit relieved by seeing me, Ashton can be extremely hard to deal with sometimes.

"Mrs. Matthew, it's OK. I understand. I will leave, I just came for a few days. I was thinking of finding a room online. You don't have to worry about that." I said with a polite tone and Mrs. Matthew smiled in return nodding and left the place. Yes it's true I'm searching for a nice room as I don't want Ashton to worry about me. And also I'm afraid Ash bringing some girls home. Yeah yeah I accidentally saw him making out with a girl in the couch and ran away from there instantly to wash my eyes with holy water.

"You're searching for a room? Why? I thought we could share this flat we could be roommates." he said looking at me with disapointment in his eyes. Now now don't make me emotional. Ashton can be clingy sometimes, he always wants his loved ones to be near him he always suggested me to move in as a roommates but I denied. My sister would be alone without me. But now that's not the case anymore.

"It's OK Ash, and be happy you're getting a new roommate."

"Where will you be in the meantime. I'm sure you didn't find a place to stay." Ashton questioned with a serious tone and firm expression.

"You can live with your sister!" I heard a smooth velvety voice suggesting me. This bunny didn't leave yet?

"You know my room's walls aren't sound proof. And I don't like hearing sounds from my sister's room. Ewww" I made a disgusted face as I recalled the unholy moans of the couple. It's uncomfortable to hear your sister doing "it" shit. I saw Aiden clearing his throat may be my reply triggered him. Yeah he's her ex even if it was just for a week.

"Wait Amara! I have a plan let's make the new roommate believe that there's a ghost in here or let's kidnap Mrs. Matthew's cat which hisses at me whenever I go near that damn cat." Ashton said excitedly while his eyes were sparkling with anticipation. Stupid idiotic dumhead.

I told you he gives stupid idiot ideas. These are just one of those stupid things he does. And here goes my poker face. I gave him my best poker face ever. Bish you wish to do that?

"Umm, she can just stay with me in the meantime. You don't need to go with violence. Kidnapping is a little bit-ummm I don't know." I whipped my head towards Aiden, yeah I know I also think I would break my neck sooner or later. Why is he helping me?

"No! I can be-"

"Oh I will help her packing the bags then." Ashton said as ran towards where I think my luggage was present. What the fuck it's me who should agree with it. And I will never ever be with him under the same roof. And that role playing butler scares me a lot. I wonder when was the last time he laughed. What was his name again? Frost? Yeah Derek Frost right!

Ashton brought my luggage as I didn't even unpack my stuff. I just wore the first dress I saw in the suitcase and closed it. I'm lazy as hell you should get that by now. 

"Wait, I told you I'm not coming."

"Thank you, I owe you a lot. Just for a few days. I will help her to find a room. Thank you Aiden." Ashton said and handed over my luggage to Aiden. Excuse me? I'm alive here.

"Oh it's okay Ashton, I have a guest room empty in my house. So no prob" Aiden replied while smiling. Wait, can anyone tell me what's happening?

"I said I'm not coming... and that's final " I said raising my voice a little to get attention from the both men. They both turned their heads in unison towards me and looked back at each other. And nodded. I told you I'm not coming. I arrogantly crossed my hands over chest in victory.

...............

I sat there looking outside of the window with a blank face counting the number of cars that passed us. Yes, I'm here........right next to the evil bunny who's controlling his laughter from a few minutes ago since I got into his vehicle once again without my consent. Yes it's Ashton. He blackmailed me by using his puppy dog eyes which I couldn't resist. Actually I agreed just because Ashton will be worried about me. And he's too stubborn sometimes.

"Can you stop, you might die if you try to control your laughter anymore." I said dryly and was surprised to see him erupting into a huge laughter. Let me tell you his laughter is a thing I would bet my whole life for it to hear. It's sounded soooo angelic. It sounded like a sweet soothing song to my ears.

Unknowingly my lips curved upwards by watching him hysterically as wiped he tears from the corner of his eyes while he kept hitting the steering repeatedly. I would buy a ticket to see him like this. He looked so cute while showing his bunny smile.

"I SaId i'M nOtcoMiNg anD it's fInAl" he mimicked my voice making me roll my eyes. Yes he's a jerk I forgot.

"I should laugh at who got keen bowled by my Brother in law today. You did nothing other than glaring at him like a wolf." I scoffed loudly.

"Soon to be brother in law. I have time to get back to her." I just wanted to kick his stubborn possessive ass.

"yeah, let's see.... you just dated her for a week I don't know how will you manage to get her back, I even wonder if - wait I don't think you both even kissed each other. You didn't right!" I asked in disbelief while turning my head to him who just stared at the road it's clear that he doesn't want to look into my eyes. They didn't. Wow! The guy who's cocky 24/7 doesn't kiss when he dated?

"I did!" I narrowed my eyes at him. As I knew Tristan is my sister's first kiss. She shared the news with me as it was her first kiss. This idiot is so slow!

"Where? on cheek?" He looked at me with wide eyes and his eyes were depicting pure shock.

"How do you know?"he asked and I just sighed while shaking my head left to right.

"Wait, I don't think you would help me with out any befinit.........what are you planning?" I asked knowing something is fishy.

"Um n-nothing!" he said chuckling nervously and I know that something is wrong when this muscular bunny stuttered. Is he going to kidnap me and kill me? I saved my money to buy a house, a cat and it's food. Will that be a waste? Nooo.........

"We're here!" I came out from my imagination when I felt a tap on my shoulder. He's scaring me. Why did he stutter? I stepped out of the vehicle, taking my bags out I turned around only to get flinched by a presence beside me. It's Derek...

I told you he's scary. He took my bags from my hands and Aiden's. Yeah I have many bags. I usually don't buy many clothes unless my sister insists. And she insists everytime so you can guess, my wardrobe is big, thanks to my sis.

Derek took my luggage from hands of Aiden even though he insisted a lot. Derek just said "It's my job Mr. Parker, let me do it." and that's when Aiden let him to carry all those stuff. We both stood beside each other looking at the fake butler entering the house.

"Is he still practicing for his play!?" I asked looking at the direction where Frost guy left

"Yeah!" he replied

"When will it end?"

"I don't know!"

"I pity him!"

"Me too!"

We both pitied the poor hardworking soul. May God bless him. Amen!

We both entered the house after feeling bad for the poor soul who present himself as a butler. I sat after Aiden said me to sit on the sofa in the living room after giving me a glass of water.

"Aiden now tell me why did you help me!?" I asked wiping my lips with sleeves of my hand after gulping down the water.

He just looked at his wrist watch and mumbled under his breath which reached my ears clearly.

"It's time! She should be here by now!"

Who is she?

Suddenly the doors of the house burst open with a loud noise and a woman in decent dress who looked gorgeous than any other girl I saw came into the scene. She's gorgeous and her her short hair was styled perfectly. Her special appearance made me flinch and I immediately stood up from my seat. I don't know why! Is it because I'm scared? Or surprised? Or may be confused? I don't know let's talk about it later.

She came running towards us, as me and Aiden stood beside each other and the glass from which I drank water is still in my hands.

She came running which looked like she was meeting a long-lost brother or sister or maybe lover just like they show in movies. To my surprise she pushed Aiden aside just like the way I keep peas aside when it comes in my food. Like a trash. She pushed him off like an Unwanted person and hugged me.

What the hell?

The glass in my hand slipped and fell on the ground making a very big irritating sound.

Who is she?

"Mom! Just stop it already!" Aiden whinned dusting off his shirt though it's clean, may be it was invisible. Wait........ Mom! I'm fucked totally in this mess......
