Romancing The Waitress Chapter Thirty-five
Aiden must have thought they were joking about the blind date thingy.Actually, at first Maddie had been joking. But then she thought about the pros - only pros, no cons, not when it was Aiden in the picture - and she realized that it was worth pursuing. While Aiden was not going to fall in love on the first date and suddenly decide to dive into the dating waters, it was still a dip of his toe in said waters. According to Drew, all of Aiden's first dates were always events; functions and dinners.Never private. Never intimate. It was like he went the extra mile to ensure that there was no assumptions or expectations either on the lady’s side or on the side of the press. She knew what it felt like to hope fcor something so bad, only for it to be taken away from you. And when that happened, it hurt like dickens to ever try to hope again. She heard somewhere that hope deferred made the heart sick. What the author forgot to add was that sometimes the heart never recovered. Of course,
Romancing The Waitress Chapter Thirty-six
The first day Drew publicly embarrassed Kendall was a day that should be recorded in the book of the company's history. More because of his employees' reaction than anything else.That morning when he arrived at the office, he greeted nobody, just headed straight to his office. Subtly alerting the employees that the boss was in a foul mood.Five minutes after arrival, he had stormed out of his office, clutching some papers — the papers had been Aiden's idea. His friend claimed that it added to the dramatic effect.So there he marched, clutching some papers and barged into the production room. The people there were startled. Some greeted him, but he ignored them."Kendra!" He bellowed. Kendall moved towards him, her head tipped up in a sign of haughty defiance. "The name is Kendall, not Kendra.""I just might be inclined to remember it if you had submitted a report that isn't riddled with errors. It makes me wonder if you can even spell your name correctly.""What do you mean by error

"So what's the occasion?" Aiden asked, checking himself out on the car's window.Aiden was an oxymoron. He dressed like he didn't care about how he looked — no, that was not exactly it. It was more of a 'he couldn't be bothered with fashion, clothes were just things to cover one's body' situation. And yet, the guy could hardly pass by a mirror or glass without checking himself out.When Drew asked him to join them for dinner and told him to dress casually, she didn't expect him to show up dressed in black ripped jeans and black tee under black bomber jacket.All that was left were leather gloves and a Harley. He already had the tats and haircut."Things are a little tense in the office." Drew said. "I need this reprieve with my two favorite people.""Well," Aiden slipped his hands into his jacket's pockets. "What were you expecting? When the boss keeps detonating at the slightest provocation, you can't expect the employees to be dancing kumbaya.""I think the right expression is sing

Aiden is mad at me, Madeline.” Drew’s voice blared through her phone’s speaker, echoing in the kitchen.She chuckled. She turned her head from the frying pan towards her phone. “Well, what were you expecting? We both knew that there was no way Aiden would take it nicely, but it was a risk we were willing to take.”“It was not really that bad, was it?”She cringed. “It wasn’t. If one liked a barbie talkative. Which obviously Aiden doesn’t.” Eleanor didn’t stop talking throughout the dinner. Perhaps it would not have been so bad if she had not been so intent on knowing everything, being in on every inside joke, and digging deep into the soils of their histories. For Aiden, who was really a private person, that had been a big strike against her.“How was I supposed to know that Bammy’s sister’s cousin was going to turn out that way?”“From the way the family tree sounds? How can she be Bammy’s sister’s cousin but not be his cousin?”“I told you the other time you asked. Lillian is Bammy’

“No!” Aiden shook his head vehemently. His friend shot him a ‘seriously?’ look. “I can’t believe you have the guts to ask me to accompany you and Maddie to another friends only outing. After what you did in the last friends only outing you invited me to. I’m pretty you’ve heard that idiom that says ‘once bitten, twice shy.’”“Come on, Aiden. I am sorry. I didn’t know Eleanor would be…you know...”“Reminding me that you were the one that chose that barbie as my date is not going to make me forgive you faster.”“Fine. Come to this outing not for my sake, but for Madeline’s.”“Last I remembered she was the brain behind the blind date, the one who has somehow decided that I need to be thrown into the dating waters.”“Now, you are exaggerating.”“I am not exaggerating, Drew. There is a reason I do not date and you know it. I expected that as my friend you would guard my decision. If nothing else, you would respect it, not gang up against me.”“Even if that decision is not exactly good for

Maddie picked her tote bag off her bed and hurried out of the room. She really needed to stop keeping Drew and Aiden waiting. Aiden had been around since eight a.m. The time they all had agreed to. Which was forty-five minutes ago.Sincerely, it was never her intention to take so much time. It was just that choosing a cloth that was not revealing too much skin but still had the ability to cause Drew’s jaw to drop was no easy feat.Her messy bun bounced as she raced down the stairs into the living room. Aiden seemed to be playing a kind of game with Bane and Marlowe. Drew was talking with a young man who she didn’t know but who seemed to be a close friend of her husband.“I am ready. I am sorry for the delay.”Drew’s head shot up. His eyes crinkled in a smile of pleasure, sending a shot of satisfaction through her. “You are always forgiven, Madeline.” He stood up and stretched his hand to her. “Come meet Adrian, Aiden’s brother.”She looked at Aiden. “You have a brother?”Once she had

He had a yacht.Well, if you were looking at it from the perspective that all he had was hers, she had a yacht.She flipping had a yacht.Oh, mother. Days like this Maddie wished she was here to see this. To experience this. Crazy, she knew but she wished it anyways.She wished her mother had not died in not just a toxic relationship with father, but also in a sad existence of lack. She wished that somehow her mother would have experienced fine things like this. It would not transform the relationship with her father from toxic to healthy but perhaps it would have made the pill easier to swallow."Hey," Drew's voice brought her back to the present. "Are you okay? You look sad all of the sudden.""Thinking about my mother."He drew her into his arms and pressed a comforting kiss to her temple. "What brought it on, though?"She pulled back to look up at his face. "I own a freaking yacht, Drew.""What does that have to with anything?""Mom always wanted to hangout on a yacht. She would

He looked like he slept in his clothes.Drew eyed his friend with concern in his eyes. "Don't tell me it's our case that has got you looking like this."Aiden dropped on a chair and shut his eyes.
