“Can I come in?” He asked and I helped him climb into the bedroom.
“What are you doing here by this time and how in the name of hell did you climb up here?” I asked as I stared down in search of a ladder or anything he must have used in climbing but there was none.
“Skills” He said boastfully as he made his way to my bed.
“How did you manage to climb up to this high building?” I asked.
“Have you forgotten how I use to climb into people’s yard through their fences back then?” He said with a smirk.
He was right, one thing Aiden knew how to do best was to break into people’s yards uninvited. Most times it was to do mischief or payback for someone who got on his nerves. But that’s a fence and this is a one storey duplex for crying out loud. He really would fit to be a master th
We spent the rest of the night discussing and teasing each other before he finally left by 3am. He really had nothing to loose since he was a guy. Wandering the streets of New York by such a time is something only a crazy person like Aiden would do.I went back to sleep few minutes after he left, only to be woken up by my mother's call. More like yells."Olivia!" She only made use of my full name when she's angry or extremely pissed."Get your ass here now!" She yelled again. I immediately got off the bed and made my way down to the living room where my mom sat alongside my Dad."Morning Mum, Dad" I greeted as I approached them. They both had a disapproving look on their faces as they glared at me."Who were you with last night?"She scowled and placed the coffee mug which she was holding, neatly on the side stool beside her."Uhmmm.....Me?" I feigned ig
"Hey wait for me!" I heard Aiden yell after me but there was no way I was stopping. I kept running as fast as my legs could carry me until I ended up in his lawn. Thankfully the door wasn't closed so I easily made my way into the house."Liv!" I heard him yelling behind me and I turned to face him, only to bump into something hard."Oh my goodness!" I heard Nana exclaim. I turned immediately to see a tray of cupcakes scattered all over the floor from me bumping into her.Ouch."Oh goodness, I'm so sorry Nana" I said and bent down to pick them up."It's okay dear, let it be" She said, trying to pull me off the floor."No it's not, you really put hard work into this and I've ruined it" I said nervously and tucked back some loose strands of hair behind my ear as I picked up the remaining pieces back into the tray. They were smudged and ruined beyond expectation.
"Hey mum" I said as I got into the house to find my mum seated on the couch with a magazine in hand as usual."Oh sweetie, you're back" She said with a smile as she folded the covers of the magazine together and placed it neatly on the stool beside her."Yeah" I said tiredly and collapsed on the couch across her."You must be hungry, I made pasta" She said and got up from the couch."Oh great! I'm really starving" I said at the same time my stomach growled."Come on and help me with the dishes" She said as she walked towards the kitchen. I also got up and followed her into the kitchen.After we were done dishing out the food on the dinning, we waited till my Dad joined us before we began to eat."So, I see you and Aiden are back together huh" My mum started the conversation. She always wanna know what happens in my romantic life at all ti
There was a knock on the door which disturbed me from my sleep."Yes who's there?" I asked as I lazily got up, walking towards the door."It's me" I heard Aiden's voice from the other end. After what happened between us.... What almost happened between us the other day. I didn't hear from him or even set my eyes on him. It still feels awkward to me anf I don't know how to face him."Hey" I said as soon as I unlocked the door and pulled it open to reveal Aiden who was only putting on a plain black t-shirt and matching grey pants. As simple as he dress,he always manage to look breathtaking each time."Hi" He smiled awkwardly at me. Phew! At least I'm not the only one feeling the awkward tension."Will you let me come in?" He asked,his voice filled with humor."Oh yeah,sorry" I laughed awkwardly at my stupidity and stepped aside for him to get in. Once he
"Dude!" Aiden scowled, making me laugh."And I have the letters... I kept th.... ""Let's go Liv, we'll see you later James"Aiden said, dragging me along with him."What was that?" I pulled away from him once we were far off."What?" He pretended not to know what I was talking about."What was he talking about? Letters? What letters?" I asked curiously."It's nothing, you know how James can be, he's just blabbing" He said calmly."No he isn't. I could clearly see your reaction after he said those things. He's definitely not blabbing" I said loudly."C'mon Liv, let's not discuss this right now" He begged."Fine then. But just so you know, we ain't done yet" I threatened. I wasn't about to spoil our beautiful date or whatever name I'd call it."Yes ma'am" He teased and I r
"No Aiden, I'm sorry" I apologized immediately and he let go of me and cleared his throat."I think we should go home" He said after a few seconds."Yeah" I nodded nervously and he took my hand and led us both out of the lake. We got back to the blanket and he grabbed his pants and palm."I'll be in the bike" He said and began walking away immediately. I stood there for a while as I stared at his back until he was far off from my sight. I sighed and pulled off his t-shirt. I wore back my underwear once my body was dry enough and then I wore my top and pants.I stared at the blanket and basket that still laid there. I bent down and folded the blanket,grabbed the basket and headed towards the path that led to the entrance."Olivia" I heard James voice call from behind and I halted on my steps. I turned back to face him and watched him approach me."Here,
As soon as I got to my room, I slammed the door shut and made my way to the bed. I placed the box gently on my bed and went into my closet to take off my clothes, after which I had a hot bath in the tub. Once I was clean to my satisfaction, I got out of the tub and reached out for my towel hanging on the wall mounted towel rack. I wrapped the towel around my body and made my way back into the bedroom and then to the closet. I took out a pair of camisole and pink shorts which I put on immediately and left the closet. I blow-dried my wet hair and wore a bonnet over it after combing it.I made my way back to the bed and sat down, I took the box from beside me and placed it gently on my lap. I was about opening it when I heard my mum's call."Coming mum!" I yelled back and stood up immediately. I took the box along with me and placed it on my desk before making my way out of the room and down the hall,towards the stairs. I climbed down the
After a lot of insults and persuasion from Hailey, I finally decided to change my outfit. I fixed myself up before we both left for the living room where my mum sat with her phone in hand as she typed freely."Hey mum, I'm going shopping with Hailey" I informed her as soon as we approached her."Okay sweetie, have fun" She said without looking away from the device in her hand. Whatever she was doing has clearly taken over her that she didn't bother looking up at us.We both walked past her and made our way out of the house. Once we got to Hailey's car, I sat at the passengers seat while she sat at the drivers and turned on the engine of the vehicle.In no time,we were already driving down the road in high speed."So,what about Aiden. How's things going between the both of you?" She asked with her eyes fixed on the road."We're good" I simply said.
Liv's POV"Where were you" Alex said as soon as I came into the room."I... I went to see Aiden" I bend my head, avoiding his gaze as I expect him to flare up but he doesn't."Oh" He said calmly.Oh? Alex said oh?No tantrums or drama?"Oh?" I'm forced to ask."What?" He arches his brows at me."You said oh,you didn't start a fight" I stare at him cautiously."Come here silly" He pulls me to his chest."You've changed" I teased as I play with the collar of his t-shirt."Nope, enjoy it while it lasts" He smirked playfully."You know what else I'd enjoy right now?" I smirk mischievously as I bite my bottom lip."What?" He has a smug smile on his face."This" I place my lips against his in a teasi
Liv's POVBefore I could rethink my actions,my hand seemed to move faster than my thoughts as I pressed the doorbell.I began to contemplate going back until the door pulls open, discarding any plans I had of turning back."Hey sweetie" The old woman I have gotten so used to smiles at she stared at me."Hi Nana" I smiled as I hug her."Where have you been dear, I haven't seen you around lately" She frowned as she led me into the house I once found comfort in."I'm sorry Nana, I've been...busy" I said calmly as we both sat down on the couch."It's okay" She sighed. She looked tired and stressed."Have have you been Nana?" I asked as I fixed my eyes on her, taking in her features."I've been fine,just tired from all the planting and cultivating" She beamed."Oh, I'm sorry about
Liv's POV"Hey" Alex's voice brought me away from my clouded thoughts."Hi" I smiled at him."You feeling better?" He said as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I noticed how his hands were shaking. His knuckles were covered in bandage. He really did a number on Aiden."Yeah" I said as I turned my head back to face the window."I'm sorry" His hot breath fanned my face."What for?" I rolled my eyes at him."For loosing my cool last night, it's my fault that you fainted and I'm sorry" He snuggled closer to me, closing whatever space was left between us."Okay..""You're not saying anything" He breathed unto my bare exposed back."What do you want me to say?" I smiled, softening my features as I turned back to face him."I was half expecting you to tell at
My eyes flew to the door to see my mum standing there with a bright smile as she walked over to were I stood with a tray containing covered dishes."Hey mum" I smiled back nervously."Where are you going to,you should be resting" She scolded as she walked over to my bedside table. She set the tray gently on the table before turning back to face me."I'm fine mum, I only fainted, I didn't have an accident" I am sick and tired of being treated like a patient who had a terrible accident."The doctor said you need..." I didn't let her finish her sentence. I already knew what she'll say."I've rested enough already" I frowned."Where are you going to" She scanned me from head to toe. I was thankful she didn't push the topic about me resting further."To see Aiden" I told her as I grabbed my hand bag."What for? You know Al
"Hey" He said as soon as he was close enough to me. I watched him carefully as he sat down beside me on the bed, staring back at me. His cold features immediately softened as we both stared at each other with so much emotion.Anger,love,heartache."Where did you go to?"I raised my eyebrow at him."I needed air to breath, I couldn't stand that dude being close to you" I could see the anger in his eyes as he spoke."Okay" I said tiredly."How are you feeling?" He asked as he softened his expression."Better" I really don't know why they were making a big deal out of nothing. I fainted, I didn't have an accident or an heart attack."You know we still have a lot to discuss,but I'll let it be for now till you fully recover" He said calmly."You can as well say whatever it is that you wanna discuss now, I'm not sick, I only
"Is she awake?" I heard voices from my background."I think she is, don't know for sure" A familiar voice said."Doctor how's she doing please?" Another desperate voice asked."Will you shut your damn mouth and let him do his job" The voice I recognized to be Alex's,spoke."Hey man, I'm sueing you don't forget it" I recognized this to be Aiden's voice."Fuck off already, haven't you had enough?what are you even still doing here" Alex yelled at Aiden I suppose."One more word from both of you and I'm kicking you out of my house" I recognized my Dad's voice."She's conscious" An unfamiliar voice said as I pulled open my eyes slowly."W.. what happened?"Are my first words as soon as my eyes fly open to see a room filled with my parents,Hailey,Elsa,quite a shock. Alex,Aiden and someone in uniform who seems to be a doctor.
I was pulled after from him before I could even register what was happening. I stood there frozen in my spot with a blank head. It took me a while to recover from what just happened and that's when it registered on me.Once I was back to my normal state, I stared over at Aiden who was no longer standing on his two feet but was lying helplessly on the floor with Alex on top of him, throwing several punches non stop at him. I couldn't move, I couldn't say anything. I couldn't bring myself to say anything. I was still in shock.Aiden was making lame attempts at punching Alex whereas Alex was doing that which he promised to do. He was hitting Aiden's head profusely on the floor. He punched his face and stomach continuously without mercy. If he wasn't stopped immediately, he'll actually keep to his promise of murdering Aiden.It was a bitch ass thing for Aiden to do by kissing someone's girlfriend right in front of him. But I
"Aiden I...." I pulled away from Alex immediately as I stood there like someone who was just caught cheating. I stared at the boy standing few meters away from me and I could see the look he had on his face. It wasn't a pleasant one."Who's he?" Aiden asked as he approach us, taking each step carefully."He's...." Alex cut me off before I could even form a presentable sentence."I'm her boyfriend so I should be the one asking you that" Alex said with a scowl on his face as he stood in front of me, blocking any chances of Aiden's further approach towards me."You have a boyfriend?" Aiden ignored the warning sign Alex was giving him as he moved further to my direction."Aiden it's not what you think,we....""Not what he thinks? Who cares bout what the fuck he thinks,Man who the hell is this dude!" Alex was stepping on Aiden's nerves and I could see it."Hey you watch your asshole mouth I'm talking to her not you" The look on Aiden
"What did my mum do?" For some unknown reason, I felt my anger rise immediately."It was back then in California, before your birthday, she paid me a visit" *****Flash back*****Alex's POV"Hello Alex" She said with her charming smile still on her face. Liv really looks like her mom. So elegant and beautiful."Hi Ma'am... Um... My mum isn't home and my dad is also out" I informed her."Oh that's okay Alex, I'm not here to see your mum, I'm here to see you" She smiled."Me?" I was surprised."Yes, you... Can I come in?" She smiled brightly at me. Something about her sudden visit makes me uneasy."Yeah" I stepped back for her to come in. I closed the door shut before leading her to the living area where Blake was seated.
