Chapter 48
There were tears in the corner of my eye as 1 hunched over laughing ||
“Amy” he groaned, visibly embarrassed. Mission accomplished. 1 thought.
The rest of the morning went by in a blur. After Aiden’s grandmother or you know, strange old lady who just showed up randomly–fed us enough food to lant us until next Saturday, the three of us continued to chat as she cleaned up the kitchen. She refused to let Aiden and I help in any shape or form, and even threated us with a wooden spanla if we got up from our seats.
As Alden was taking me home, I asked “How come your parents are never home?“]

“What?” Aiden asked taken aback.
Your parents. Hell, do you even have any parents?” I turned in my seat to look at him. “In the time you and I have hung out, not once have I seen your parents at home-
He chudded. “Yes, I do have parents, princess. My mom is an event planner so she’s usually at the office on the weekend and my step–dad is a lawyer and away on business a lot.T
So his parents were divorced. Was Amy his step–dad’s mother, then?]]
“So, they just leave you in that house all by yourself?” I asked dumbfounded. That sounded really lonely.]]
Aiden just shrugged in response. “They’re home more during the week. Plus, little to no parental supervision does wonders for the ladies.”
I snorted as I punched his arm. “You re such a pig
Despite Aiden’s nonchalant response, I can’t imagine what it would be like to just live in a house that big and spend all my time alone. I mean, sure he’s popular and probably has a lot of friends over, but nothing beats spending time with family
As Aiden rolled into a parking spot in front of my building. I was about to say goodbye when I suddenly got an idea. Don’t ask me where this said idea came from, but before I could stop myself the words poured out of my mouth.]
“Hey “I said hesitantly. “A new coffee shop just opened up down the street. Do you maybe wanna go check it out with me? []
Aiden was taken aback by my question, but quickly hid his shock behind a smirk. “Are you asking me out, princess?–]
1dn’t help but roll my eyes at his teasing. You wish, asshole. I smiled sweetly
Since he didn’t give me an answer, I assumed he probably had better things to do with his day than spend it with me so I began unbuckling my seatbelt when suddenly I felt his hand wrap around mine. Looking between him and where he was holding my hand, I raised a questioning eyebrow at him ||
“And where do you think you’re going?” He asked staring at me with his piercing grey eyes ||
“Home?” I managed to say still being held captive by his stare.]]
Too Late, princess.” He smirked finally betting go of my hand. You just got yourself a date with the most handsome guy around.-]
