OLIVIAI pack my things carefully into my bag, making sure not to forget anything. After double checking that everything is already there, I sling my bag over my shoulder, ready to leave."Olivia!"I hear Aiden call out, but I pretend not to hear him. I need to get away from this place, before he gets there. I don't want to see him. I don't want to talk to him. He should just leave me alone.I step away from the blanket and begin putting on my sneakers. I can hear Aiden's footsteps approaching, and I know he will be here soon. I need to get away quickly. I finish putting on my sneakers and walk away. I am walking at a brisk pace, but I'm not running.Before long, I find myself standing outside the garden. My eyelids drop as I realize that I won't be able to have the sweet moments here again. Maybe someday I will come back, either alone or with my best friend. I turn on my phone and tap open the map app. Fuck, I can't believe I came all the way here with Aiden without even knowing

OLIVIA"Hey," I say to the cab driver. "Can you take a different route? I've changed my plans."The cab driver nods, his eyes meeting mine in the rearview mirror. I give him a little smile and he smiles back before turning his attention back to the road.I let out a sigh of relief. He seems like a nice guy. At least, he is not the type of cab driver who will blame me for wasting their time and changing my plans.I give the driver directions to Nathan's house. I will just tip him extra. Look at me just trying to enjoy the moment, without worrying that I may go broke later.I blame Aiden freaking Blacksmith. Fuck him for inviting me out and then ditch me. Fuck him for not even trying to give me a ride after that. Fuck him. I'm so mad at him.I open the messenger app and see Nathan's last text. I know he is probably waiting for me to reply. What if I am just delusional? What if he doesn't even give a damn if I don't text back? Maybe, he is not even waiting for me to text back and has a

OLIVIA"Are you okay?" I hear Nathan's voice in my head, but it feels like I am not really hearing him. It is as if my subconscious mind hasn't registered his voice enough to register that he's called my name."Olivia," Nathan calls my name.I blink a few times, tearing my gaze away from my phone and up to Nathan's face."Are you okay?" He asks again.I force a smile. "Yeah, I'm fine," I reply, hoping I sound more convincing than I feel.Am I really okay? No, I'm not. I don't know why, but I am confused. Really confused that I have so many thoughts swirling in my head, and none of them can answer the questions in my mind.Why would Sarah tag me in a post with pictures of her and Aiden? What was she thinking? Now, I am left wondering why Nathan and I are headed to the ice cream hub as Sarah and Aiden.Damn, this is crazy. I need to get these thoughts out of my head, or I will zone out and bore Nathan to death. I don't want him to regret inviting me over. I need to get a fucking grip

OLIVIANathan's lips press against mine. His hand slides to my waist, and he pulls me close. I can't ignore how my body fits against his.I kiss him back, and he sucks on my bottom lip. I do the same to him, butterflies fluttering in my stomach. Nathan stops kissing me, and I lean back, his eyes locked on mine. The corners of his mouth curl into a bright smile. Before I can even return the smile, he leans in again for another kiss, this one even more passionate than the last. I notice how careful Nathan is being with his hand placement. His hand is just caressing my back, without going any further. Maybe, he is trying not to make me uncomfortable. I don't mind, though. I can't help but imagine that it is Aiden holding and kissing me instead. His hand would have been inside my top, if it were him.“ Ai… Nathan,” I mutter.Well deserved. My dumb ass shouldn't be fantasizing about the brown eyed devil while kissing someone else. Nathan's hand leaves my waist and he pulls away from t

OLIVIAI am at a loss for words. I don't know what to say or how to react. I just sit there with my mouth hanging open, staring at my sister like she has grown horns.Of course, I can see Aiden standing next to her out of the corner of my eye, but I act like I don't even see him. Maybe, if I pretend he is not there, I'll believe it and get through it. But, how can I keep it up when my palms are already starting to sweat? I don't even know what's wrong with me. I don't know why I am behaving this way. I don't know if it is because my sister is here or because her best friend who ditched me is also here. “ Olivia,” A familiar voice breaks through my train of thoughts. I shake myself out of the daze, and I try to get a grip on myself. I am here on a date with Nathan. I shouldn't let myself get caught up in thoughts of my sister or her best friend. “ Olivia?” Nathan's voice calls out to me again.As I turn to face him, I force a smile."What's up?" I ask."Are you okay?" Nathan asks

OLIVIAMy eyebrows furrow. Is Aiden messing around with me? Is this some kind of joke? I re-read the message several things to make sure I hadn't misread it. I am not playing tricks on myself. The words are still there, staring back at me. He wanted me to leave the door unlocked, so he could come over.I don't believe it.Why would he want to come over? Shouldn't he be with my sister right now? He should be with Sarah, not coming over to see me. It doesn't make sense.I begin typing a response, my fingers flying over the keyboard in a blur. I hit ‘’ send ‘’ and watch the message go through. Me - What do you mean? Are you really coming? I see that the message icon turns blue indicating that he has seen it. I wait, but the typing indicator never appears. I stare at the screen, willing the three little dots to show up, but they never do.I wait for a few more minutes, thinking the network is preventing his message from reaching me, but still, I don't get any message from him. My eyel

OLIVIAMy hands clench into fists.I don't know why I suddenly feel conscious. I am aware of everything going around me, the outfit I am wearing , how I look. I wonder if I look like a tomato or someone with a lot of thoughts running through their mind. I am a nervous wreck, aren't I? There he is, Aiden, locking my door. I entered my room before him. I suggested we should come in and have our conversation. I just feel like it is better this way. A part of me knows this won't be just a chat. Whatever is about to happen, I am ready. I don't know what is in store, but I'm ready to take the loop. Aiden's brown eyes are like lasers, boring into me and seeing straight into my brain.His intense gaze is too much for me to handle, so I spin away. Why am I acting like a nervous squirrel? I'm trying to play it cool, but my nerves are all over the place.I seize the opportunity to close my curtains, providing a cover for my awkward turn. While closing the curtains might make the room darke

OLIVIAGlancing away from his gaze, my focus shifts to the buckle of his belt. My fingers work quickly to loosen it, as if this is a normal thing to do. Once again, my eyes find him, feeling the weight of his gaze as I do. All I want to see is the emotions in his eyes. I know what I am doing, and I'm doing it anyway. Aiden has a blank look on his face, his face betrays nothing, leaving me to guess what's going on behind those honey brown eyes. I wish I could read his mind. I could only wish. I undo the button of his jeans and gently pull down the zipper. I watch as the denim falls away, revealing the thin fabric of his boxers beneath. I look back at him, but his face is still blank and his eyes don't give me any clue as to how he's feeling. Fine, I take that as a sign to go ahead. I bite my lip. Can I really do this? I've only ever read about or seen porn videos of others doing this, never done it myself. What if I make a fool of myself? Heaven knows I don't want to mess up. I

OLIVIAIt's the start of another weekend! Another late Friday evening! While other kids are probably out, partying, I'm here serving customers at my workplace. But, I don't mind. I like my little life, and at least I'm getting paid for doing this. I look around the shop from my post at the reception counter. Phew, everyone is served. I'll enjoy a break, too. I pull out my phone, which has been on "Do Not Disturb" mode while I am at work. I don't want any distractions, after all. I don't want Mirabel to regret hiring me. I've been slacking off lately, and she's been too kind about it. I have to make it up to her. Opening my phone, I see a few unread messages. A corner of my mouth curls up into a lopsided smile when I notice one is from Aiden. I don't even bother checking the other messages; I open his first. Aiden: Hey, I low-key miss you. My smile widens. Damn, this is not the best time to receive a message like this. Now I won't be able to stop thinking about it, or even imagi

OLIVIAAiden pulls up in front of a building, and even from outside, it is clear that this is a club.The bright lights that outline the building and the booming music inside leave no doubt. And, let's not forget the people lingering around the entrance, most of them paired up by gender. Aiden turns to look at me, his gaze piercing into mine. It is as if he can see through me, into the fear I'm trying to hide. Instead of saying anything, he gets down of the car. I stay in my seat, taking deep breaths. My goal: to be prepared for the world outside. Before I can open the door, I see Aiden standing outside the door. He opens the door for me, offering his hand to help me out. Aiden opening the door for me. A perfect gentleman gesture or what? A line appears between my brows. This seems so strange. Aiden is not the kind of guy who would act like this, and everyone knows it. He is a jerk. So, what's his game here? I step out of the car, picking up my handbag as I do so. I wait for Aid
