Aldo’s POV Aiden and Candace have been fighting since last night. I don’t know what it is about, but just a minute ago she threw his engagement ring across the living room and it nearly hit me on my path to the kitchen. I am staying out of this shit. After my gigs on Friday nights we usually go out, but they kept arguing and I decided to just shut myself in my room and put my noise canceling headphones on and perseverate over the night’s events while listening to my favorite playlist. My music taste is fairly eclectic, which is great if you are a musician, you can take inspiration from many genres. Eventually sleep found me and my dreams featured a certain violet haired beauty. I probably shouldn’t admit this but even without knowing what sex they are the dreams were rather steamy and woke up with a situation I hadn’t had since highschool. It had been ages since I had a wet dream, but the sticky mess on my borders is evidence of where my dreams had gone. I’ve been doing all of m
Aldo’s POV After Candy accepted Rodrigo’s invitation for a date, asking if he would prefer Candy or Cade to show up, I blocked out their flirtations and ordered another round of drinks. I drank up, paid up and excused myself to go home. I don’t know if someone who was a stuck up asshole in high school can make that huge of a change in a few short years, but that isn’t my problem until Rodrigo traits Cade bad and I’m the one picking his drunk ass up off the floor while he ugly cries on me. Cade and Aiden have been my dearest friends for a long time. I met Cade in school, but Aiden was a private school kid who I met at one of my first gigs. He loves music and had dreams of owning his own label one day so when he liked what he heard when I played and sang he told me he wanted me as his first act he’d sign when he made that happen. Now, Aiden has been working for an independent label to learn the ropes better before striking out on his own. Speaking of Aiden, he is sleeping on t
Nova’s POV You know that song by Fergie.. The lyrics go “‘cause I’m tippin’, i’m stumblin’ , Clumsy ‘cause I’m fallin’ in love..” Yeah that seems to be the theme of my week..let me just recap as I get ready to head out for another Friday at The Nightingale Cafe where I will get to see Aldo again. I spoke to Cassie on Saturday and apologized for hanging up so abruptly on her and told her how Fridays would probably be the worst night to call me from here on out. Then I told her about Friday night. I described Aldo the best I could, not that my words could ever do him justice. She then finished telling me what she had been trying to tell, me and I am excited to say the least. Her father is being stationed in New York! They won’t be all that close since they will be upstate, but he promised that he would buy her a used car for a late birthday present (her birthday was last week, and i did give her a birthday call and send her a card) once they got here which means that we can see
Aldo’s POV Candace leaving Aiden put him down in the dumps for a short while, but really he had been kind of walking on eggshells for months with her which is why he had proposed to her in the first place. He was hoping that putting a ring on her finger would help her see that he was serious and ease her jealousy. It just seemed to make her worse rather than better and now I am extra glad that both I have this new posh gig that I signed the contract for on Tuesday, but also that Aiden was called into the producer’s office and informed that he was up for a big promotion at the label he works for, because now it’s just the pair of us paying rent. Aiden’s love life aside this has been a really great week and I am looking forward to tonight’s gig. I haven’t been able to flirt with any girls, it just felt wrong and Tom called me out for not being flirty. Flashback to Monday Night: “Dude! You haven’t flirted with any of the ladies once today, not even Adia! What’s up with that?
Nova’s POV I find him leaning on the wall in the alley next to the building. His eyes are closed and he is humming a song as he takes a long drag off of the cigarette, inhaling before slowly breathing the smoke out in a steady stream. “Gotta a light for me?” I ask quietly. He looks at me inquisitively but pulls out a zippo lighter and lights my cigarette for me. I notice his eyes traveling my body. “I got it from Chantelle, you don’t have to wonder where I have them hidden. I don’t always smoke. I used to do it more in Atlanta, especially when Cassie and I snuck out to the clubs.” I chuckle before continuing “Everyone is talking about going to Mariposa in a little bit. I told them I wouldn’t mind a smoke and got a cigarette from Chantelle, knowing she has the ones that I prefer, but I also told them I would see if you were up for joining us. Sidney wanted to come ask you, but Neville convinced her that I could do that while having my smoke.” His eyes meet mine and his voice i
Aldo’s POV I am sure Nova’s grandmother is literally going to kill me if I fuck things up, especially if Nova gets hurt in the process, so I am really regretting letting my hormones and the alcohol influence my texting with them last night, I wasn’t drunk, but was just buzzed enough to lower my inhibitions a bit. I can’t fuckin believe that I offered to send a dick pic! What The Fuck was I thinking!? I was thinking with my cock, that is the only viable explanation. Now I have to act right from here on out and apologize for my asinine texts. Me: Nova, I’m really sorry about last night. Me: I was flirting way too hard and crossed a line in those texts. I hope you don’t think any less of me.There is no response, but the messages are still unread so I roll out of bed and get myself coffee and some toast and eggs. I am eating while trying not to panic over my own stupidity when a text comes in, unfortunately it is not from Nova. Cade: Hey loverboy! So I heard through t
Nova’s POV I call Cassie bright and early since she will spend half of the day in flight, then will be trying to settle into her new home. “Hey, Cas! I have so much to tell you, Girl, but first…Did you manage to get any sleep?” She giggles,”Yeah I kind of had a fitful sleep here and there. I fell asleep reading on a reading app. There are some great werewolf romance stories out there and I would drift off reading, wake up and read some more before drifting off again, so, overall, not different from most weekends without you.” I sigh,”Girl, we need to fix that! You need your sleep and a nightlife.” I take a deep breath, “Anyway, I have got to tell you…I have a date tonight!” I can’t help the excited squeal as I finish that sentence. “Oh, really? My bestie has a date and I haven’t screened them first?” She taunts with a giggle. “I need the deets, then you have to call me when you get home, or maybe in the morning.” I go on to describe Aldo as best as words can
Aldo’s POV I complete my usual Saturday chores then get dressed and ready for my date with Nova. I grab the car keys checking that Aiden is all set before heading over to see Greg at the music shop. I pick up the reserved sheet music and spot a new guitar strap that catches my eye because of the color. “Feeling the purple, huh?” Greg intones. “Yeah man, I would explain more but I absolutely do not want to run late for my date.” I am beaming. “Let me guess the lucky girl loves purple.” Greg laughs. “Yeah, something like that.” I find myself saying this a lot lately, especially when I don’t really want to explain. “About that something special that I am letting you have first dibs on, follow me.” He leads me to the practice room, where he produces vintage Epiphone electric-acoustic guitar and it is in mint condition. Just holding this beautiful instrument is amazing and playing it is an amazing feel. The only thing I have seen more beautiful is not so much a
