Lana~“Stop the car.” I felt choked up, like I couldn’t breathe well, like there wasn’t enough air and I was drowning in it.“W-what?” Aaron turns to look at me, his eyes widening on seeing me gasping for air, slapping my chest repeatedly, face red.“Stop the car!” The car comes to a halt, I immediately push the door open, rushing out of the car, gasping for air. I fell to my knees, clutching my chest and dragging my breathe as much as I can.“Baby, Lana what’s wrong?” Aaron ran from the other side, crutching on his knees as he holds my shoulders, trail of sweat on his forehead, eyes fill with worry, breathing uneven.“T-th-“ I couldn’t get any words out of my mouth, tears filling my eyes. Aaron holds my face between his hand, his eyebrow pinched with worry. He Sighs, pulling me to him and hugs me. I felt my resolve crumble, tears leaking from my eyes.“I’m here with you, baby. I’m here with you.” He murmurs, rubbing my back. My heart hurt so bad, I wanted to rip it open from my chest

Lana~A grunt escaped my lips as my eyes flutter open. I glance beside me to see Aaron sleeping peacefully, not disturbed by the incessant ringing of my phone.Whoever it is should be ready to pay for my lack of sleep. I got up from the bed, walking towards the table in the room where my phone vibrated. Ellie’s name displayed on the screen.I sighed, looking back at Aaron who wasn’t even bothered, bending to pick the phone, clasping the speaker against my clothe and walk out of his room.“Lana.” Her voice came out shaky and clogged up. I furrow my eyebrows, pausing to look at the phone to be sure she’s the one. Did I hear wrong?“Ellie, what’s up ? It’s literally six am.” I say, walking down the stairs barefooted."I know and I’m sorry but do you think you can come pick me up? I- I need your help. Sasha can’t coke.” She says, I pause in my steps, wondering what could be wrong with her.“Ellie, is everything okay? Are you done?” I ask, already getting worried with the way her voice sou

Lana~I walk into the house where Aaron was busy pacing around, eyebrows pinched in a confused manner. “Hey.” I say, dropping the bags in my hand on the table. He snaps his eyes at me, relief showing in his orbs.I quirked an eyebrow up, confused.“What’s up?“ I ask, slipping my feet out of the slippers I had on."You got a delivery.” He says, showing me the card and bag in his hands. “Oh, what’s this?” I ask, walking closer to home eyes on the purple large envelope in his hands.“I don’t know but it came along with this and just made me a little paranoid.” I take the envelope, wondering who would have something delivered to me especially since it isn’t my home.“Who would have something delivered to me when this isn’t my house?.” I ask and he shrugs, passing the bag and envelope to me, he walks to the table behind me, probably about to rummage through the bag I bought.I took out the card inside the envelope, furrowing my eyebrows as I look at it. Nothing was written in it. Just a wh

Aaron~"What do you think?” Kai asks, I drop the block of butter into the pan, humming without listening to what he’s saying.“Aaron, are you even listening?“ he whisper yells. I look up at him “what?” “Her, what do you think?” He asks, gesturing at Sasha who is busy talking to Asher and Rue. Oh, I see.“What about her?” I ask, quirking my eyebrow up as I look at him. Kai grumbled, almost whining.“You know what I’m talking about, don’t act coy.” He rolls his eyes.“Yeah, that attitude will get you nothing but more pinning.” I shrug, getting the a can of tiger pepper."You’re annoying.”“Just as you are.” I refuted, choosing to ignore him now. Of course I know what exactly he wants and means but it doesn’t mean it would happen miraculously for him especially after he teased me for days with Lana.Talking about Lana. I turn to look at her side of the kitchen, seeing everyone help her as she cooks. Yeah, even Sasha and Ellie choose her, leaving Kai with me.“How is it going?” I ask her

Lana~Aaron sat in his office, a mountain of files waiting for him. He runs his hand through his hair, a frustrated sigh escaping his lips as he glanced at the files again. The entire table filled with pending work."Maybe I should just take a break, I mean, I can still do all of this next week when we come back.” He says and I chuckled, placing the cup of coffee on the table.“No can’t do. We have three days holiday. I want to rest and not work. It’s better we finish up this and focus on a new week.” I say, taking a sip of my coffee. Aaron groans beside me."This is tiring but fine! You’re staying here with me, no matter how late it’s gets.” He warns.“Yeah yeah, wasn’t planning on leaving you.” I reply, walking over to the table, picked out four of the pending files. “I’ll get to work on these while you do those. Let me know if you need me and I’ll be here in a jiffy.” I tell him. Aaron nods, leaning back on his chair. I smile, dropping the files on his table and leaned close to hi

Lana~I sat down, replaying what Ellie had told me earlier. I can just imagine the hurt she would be going through after finding out about her mothers death.I sigh, leaning back against the chair to continue the work for today. I’m glad she has Sasha with her, at least it would make things better.I settle on work, sending and clearing the mails and pending work I had too. Hours later Aaron barged into my office, a tired smile on his lips. He walks into my office with a mug, dropping the mug on my table."Got you hot chocolate, thought you might want it.” He says and i smile, leaning back against the couch as i stretch my hands, feeling cramped up from typing."It’s already past seven?” I ask, he Huns in reply, walking towards the window. "It’s always so crowded.” He comments, viewing the city from the window.“Yeah, it’s NewYork after all.” I reply, taking a sip of the hot chocolate.“Are you almost done?” I ask, knowing I’d have to leave soon seeing as I’m almost done with work and

Chapter 36
Lana~I woke up, feeling hot and sticky. My eyes flew open, now staring at the ceiling fan. I grunted, trying to remember the things that happened the night before except nothing came to my brain. A hand was suddenly thrown over my waist. My eyes widen dramatically on seeing a living being hand on my body. I live alone! What the hell is- I turn to my side only to see a snoring Sasha beside me, mouth agape as she snores away. I throw her hand off my body, memories of the night came rushing back to me.I came to Ellie’s place and slept over. Ellie lives in a one bedroom apartment which means we all had to squeeze ourselves into her bed. That’s why I woke up sticky with sweat and feeling hot. Anyone that knows Sasha would know how clingy she is when sleeping.I got up from the bed, only then did I notice the other person who was supposed to be sleeping in bed, only that her place was empty. I furrowed my eyebrows, eyes still a little dazed with sleep, rubbing my eye a little, I walk to

Lana~A sigh escaped my lips, I dip my hands into the pockets of the jacket I had on, a shiver running down my spine. My phone begins to ring, almost making me stomp my feet in frustration.I pause in my steps, taking the phone out of the bag only to see Aaron calling me.“Hey baby.” His voice deep and rich, I smiled instinctively upon hearing his voice.“Hey hey.” I reply, continuing in my steps to the main road. “Are you out? Seems like where you are is busy. I can call-""I went to see my mom, she wanted this speak to me.” I cut him off and he hums over the phone."Are you home? I’m coming to yours.” I tell him of whichever he had no issue with. I cut the call, immediately dialing Sasha’s number. She picks at the third ring.“You done? Is everything okay? Do I have to come with a racket?” Sasha rushes out. I roll my eyes as I stand at the bus-stop, waiting for a taxi to pass by. “I’m fine and you don’t need to bring a tennis racket. I’m heading to Aaron’s place and would book our

Lana~“So that’s it?” Sasha asks and i nod, removing the keys from the door, turning to see Sasha behind me and Ellie putting the bags into the car. “Come on, we better not safe anymore time of not we would miss our flight.” I say, walking towards the car. Ellie had hopped in and Sasha sat beside her while I got into the seat next to the driver.Ellie has been busy exceptionally quiet for a while now. I know her mother’s death is something she’s struggling to come to terms with but I also know she’s thinking and thanking hard. It’s been years since she left the house and now she suddenly has to go back.I know how it feels to the frightened and nostalgic."Did you tell Aaron you’d be Traveling? I mean it’s quite impromptu.” Sasha asks behind. I hummed in response, remembering how clingy Aaron had got when I told him I would be Traveling with Ellie for her mother’s burial. While he is empathetic towards the whole situation with her, he also didn’t stop talking about how much he’d miss

Lana~We arrive in Grenada after five hours of flying. My back felt cramped and ass sore but the most important thing is finally being here. “Ah this was something.” Sasha groaned beside me, placing her bag on the floor and stretched. I turn to my right to see Ellie standing by the pole, eyes shut close, inhaling the air of Grenada.Grenada is a small town located in the northern part of America. "Welcome to Grenada, Ellie.” I whisper, glancing at her. She opens her eyes, a smile making its way to her lips.I haven’t seen her smile i days so it’s something.“Come on, it’s quite late and if we want to get there early tomorrow then we should sleep early too.” I tell them just as I flag down a cab.The middle aged driver gets out of the car, a bubbly smile on his lips even with how late it was. "Where are you headed?” He asks, eyeing our luggage.Ellie and myself turn to glance at Sasha who was lost in thoughts. "Sasha! The address.” I snap, watching her flinch slinky, a sage of red sl
